    Wow. So not only has Apple lost any design culture it had, it also doesn’t give a shit about your security either any longer. This is the mother of all dark patterns right here.

  7. Hold up, Windows 10 users! Support officially ended, but you can snag a FREE year of security updates.

    The catch? You'll likely link your Microsoft account and might bump into a 5GB cloud storage limit. Are you clinging to Win10, or is it finally time to upgrade?

  8. Windows 10 support ends tomorrow, Oct 14th! But before you panic-upgrade, turns out you can snag free extended security updates. Who doesn't love a good loophole to keep their old OS limping along?

  9. Windows 10's official end-of-life is hitting on Oct 14th, but fear not, fellow digital dinosaurs! Microsoft's offering a FREE extended security update for a year. The catch? You might be linking your Windows login to their cloud services. Is 12 more months of Windows 10 worth the data hug?
