Microsoft will officially end support for its most popular operating system in 2025. Here's what you should do with your Windows 10 PCs that fail Microsoft's Windows 11 compatibility tests before that day arrives. //
Business customers will need to pay dearly to stick with Windows 10. A license for the Extended Security Updates (ESU) program is sold as a subscription. For the first year, the cost is $61. For year two, the price doubles, and it doubles again for year three. The blog post doesn't do the math on those, probably because the total is uncomfortably high. A three-year ESU subscription will cost $61 + $122 + $244, for a total of $427.
In the original announcement of Extended Security Updates last year, a Microsoft spokesperson said that there will be a version of this program for consumers, but the company has yet to provide any additional details.
Atlanta received a record 11.12 inches (28.24 centimeters) of rain in 48 hours, the most the city has seen in a two-day period since record keeping began in 1878, Georgia's Office of the State Climatologist said on the social platform X. The previous mark of 9.59 inches (24.36 cm) was set in 1886. Some neighborhoods were so badly flooded that only car roofs could be seen poking above the water.
0patch does not replace executable files or modify them in any way. It corrects them only in memory, which can be done without relaunching them. //
- quickly fix "0days" and unpatched vulnerabilities,
- micropatch end-of-life and unsupported products (such as Office 2010 or Java runtime),
- provide patches for legacy OSes and applications (such as Windows 7, Server 2008 R2),
- patch what’s exploited in the wild,
- fix vulnerable 3rd party components and customized software.

Yes.
"If you have a lemon, make a lemonade."
Vance certainly did that. He made himself, and Trump voters, look gracious, forgiving, and positive-minded. He also showed himself to be an excellent leader - a calm but take-charge guy.
What he told voters in front of the restaurant could be used in a pro-Trump/Vance election advertisement. //

Have I mentioned lately, I was sad when Trump picked Vance, and was really hoping he would have picked Carson?
I was completely wrong. Vance was the smartest choice for this position. Gracious and warm. That is what coming from nothing gets you, and working your way to the top.
Damn I love being proved wrong. Excellent choice by Trump.
There are a few unshakable rules in political discourse - only a few, but there are some that never seem to be broken. One of these rules is that it is always the left, never the right, that calls for trashing the Constitution when they don't get their way. This is a fundamental law of the universe, which shall henceforth be known as "Clark's Law of Leftists Destroying the Village to Save It." //
The latest example? As our sister site Twitchy informs us, leftist lunatic Fran Lebowitz, on Bill Maher's HBO show, "Real Time," has called for President Biden to - get this - dissolve the Supreme Court. //

Bill Maher guest Fran Lebowitz declares SCOTUS is “so disgraceful it shouldn’t even be allowed to be called the Supreme Court, it’s an insult to Motown...It’s Trump’s harem.” President “Biden should dissolve the Supreme Court.” #StartTheClock

As for Lebowitz, I'll offer her this challenge, the same one I offer to whiners who complain about the Second Amendment:
Fran, go ahead and propose a constitutional amendment to remove the Supreme Court. Pitch it to whoever your Congressional representative is. See how far you get. Because that's what you'll have to do, and I would remind you that even if you get Congress to go along - doubtful - you will have to gain the ratification of 38 of the 50 states. //

As she bashed the court the audience cheered her. Let that sink in as we need to identify our enemies.

Heard Dean: “We have to change [our Constitution]. Our foundational electoral system was affected very much by slavery. This was an effort by the small states, & the slave states to make sure they didn’t lose their influence.”

Dean, saying the electoral system "was affected... by slavery" is a canard. He is, of course, referring to the infamous 3/5 compromise, which was adopted to prevent the slave-holding states from having an outsized representation by including bondsmen in the tally for the basis of apportionment. That argument has made zero sense since 1865.
Yes, there is an effort by the small states to make sure we don't lose our influence. Most of the country doesn't want to be ruled by Boston, New York, Chicago, and the liberal areas of California. That's why our electoral system works the way it does; that's why the Senate works the way it does, with every state, no matter how small or large, having the same representation. That is anti-democratic by design. That is why the United States is not a democracy. We never were a democracy. We never will be a democracy. //

This wasn't ignorance any more than push polls are really telling us what people think: this is an attempt to get the low info voters outraged and influence how they view the Electoral system.
This is a setup to justify outrage for when Trump has an electoral landslide and still loses "the popular vote" because New York, California, Detroit, and Chicago count 200% of their registered voters.
She finally sat down to take (but not answer) questions, first with CNN and now MSNBC. While we didn't learn much about her policy positions, the American people learned an awful lot about how much of a vapid, empty suit she actually is.
The more she does these things, the more people are going to realize that, which is why she doesn't want to do them.
But she's in a Catch-22 at this point. The more she continues to resist the pressure that is put on her by non-Fox News outlets to put some answers on the record, the worse she's going to look in the eyes of voters who want to know more but who aren't being given the opportunity thanks to her media avoidance strategy, which is still largely in place.
Kamala Harris boxed herself into this corner and now she can't get out of it. It's too delicious for words to watch the unraveling, and the best part about it is that it is Democrat-friendly news organizations like the Times that are bringing it on. More please. //

If you think Harris is an idiot, what does that say about the slavish fools enthusiastically supporting her?

They hate DJT so much that they would rather suffer than give him a win
They believe electing the first black woman President makes them virtuous and righteous in their tribal cult
They are also Marxists and know it is better to suck up to the alligator in hopes it will eat you last.
