I have no idea what on Earth is going on with GMail tonight! I tried sending a reply to a friend via Thunderbird 78, as usual, but it didn't work. Then, search stopped working there, so I tried another copy on another computer with the same result. Then, I went to the actual GMail site itself (I despise that place) but even its own search button said "unavailable". I had to go message by message to find the one I wanted. I didn't change any settings, either in Thunderbird or GMail itself. I also tried it in my virtual machine, which I know should work, because it's what I normally use, but it did the same thing. Note that I tried this on Windows 7, 10, and 11. However, once I switched to my other GMail account, search worked fine. Can anyone help me figure out what is going on? I did move a large number of e-mails from GMail to Yahoo, but that was several days ago, and I've done it before with no problems. I actually can't wait to make the switch to Yahoo. These sorts of things drive me mad!

"We now estimate that up to 1.7 billion pounds of electronic waste has been created by expired software and canceled cloud services since 2014. The largest contributor by far was the expiration of #Windows10 resulting in up to 1.6 billion pounds of electronic waste from PCs that can’t upgrade to #Windows11.
Calling those computers junk is the stupidity taught by microsoft and intel.most of the devices will run fine with Linux or a BSD family member.

#USPIRG - #ElectronicWaste Graveyard
Expiring software or server support is responsible for up to 1.7 billion pounds of #EWaste over past decade.
by Nathan Proctor, Lucas Gutterman
April 10, 2025, Updated Jul 14, 2026"Increasingly, we’re pushed to trash tech that should still work, such as #Chromebooks, phones, and smart home devices, just because the software has expired or lost support. This database lists more than 100 tech products that have stopped working after manufacturers dropped support. It calculates the total weight of all these dead devices which have joined the 68 million tons of electronic waste disposed of each year.
"When software expires, or web cloud services end, consumers and schools are pushed to replace devices that should still work. For example, our 'Chromebook Churn' report found that tens of thousands of laptops were being replaced by schools because the software had expired. Since the graveyard was released in 2025, we have tracked a wave of new product shutdowns, some affecting a handful of niche gadgets, and one, Microsoft’s end of support for Windows 10, affecting 400 million computers at once.
"We now estimate that up to 1.7 billion pounds of electronic waste has been created by expired software and canceled cloud services since 2014. The largest contributor by far was the expiration of #Windows10 resulting in up to 1.6 billion pounds of electronic waste from PCs that can’t upgrade to #Windows11.
"13 #AmazonKindle models have also joined the graveyard this year. On May 20, 2026, Amazon cut off store access for 13 older Kindle models released between 2007 and 2012 — devices that, in many cases, are still being used daily by their original owners more than a decade later. The e-readers still turn on, still display books already downloaded, and still hold a charge. What they can no longer do is buy or download anything new, effectively ending their useful life as e-readers for many owners. Amazon’s shutdown means these e-readers can’t even borrow books from users’ local public #libraries.
"For the planet, this lack of support results in a death by a thousand server support cuts. This e-waste adds up. At the very least we need lifetime transparency for tech—we should know how long manufacturers guarantee the tech we buy will work before we buy it."

New push for #RightToRepair in #Maine aims to cut costs, reduce #ElectronicWaste
Vivien Leigh, August 13, 2026
"Advocates, lawmakers, and business owners have started a renewed push to help #Mainers fix #phones, #laptops, and other small #electronics more easily.
"Supporters set up a mock electronic-waste graveyard on Thursday to underscore the need for 'Right to Repair' reforms.
"Sheldon Arford owns Maine Computer Services, an independent repair shop. He showed nearly six computers that still work but are on their way to the recycling bin.
" 'They can't take the current version of Windows, and #Windows10 no longer gets security updates,' Arford explained. [Um, Sheldon, have you heard of #Linux ?]
"The business owner joined advocates and lawmakers for a mock memorial service focused on electronics that stopped working after their software expired, such as Windows 10 computers, #vacuums, #VideoGames, and over a dozen #Kindle models."

#VLC rame sur #Windows ? C'est la faute à Microsoft, et voici ce qu'il faut faire
#VideoLAN accuse un correctif de Microsoft Defender de ralentir fortement l'ouverture de fichiers #MP3 dans VLC sous #Windows11 et #Windows10. Le ticket de développement du lecteur, ouvert depuis plusieurs mois, décrit toutefois un problème plus difficile à cerner qu'un simple bug antivirus.

RE: https://mastodon.scot/@CGM/117098442277775271
Actually, it may be Windows 10 that's to blame, I've had a couple of bluescreens since the last Patch Tuesday update. 🤔

Unter #Windows10 soll #M365 noch bis 2028 unterstützt werden. Aber Funktionsupdates wird es ab diesen Monat nur noch für #Windows11 geben. Ob das jemanden zum Wechsel auf W11 motiviert - oder eher "endlich finito mit der Featuritis-Gängelei" gilt?

Windows 10 users, will no longer receive new features/updates from Office 365, or OneDrive. So to reiterate, because you aren't "upgrading" (and I use the term very loosely here) You will be cut off from features, of OTHER products, that you've paid for.

2015 Microsoft Windows: Retro Screen-Time Magic
Do you remember that first Windows 10 moment—when it felt new, but not scary? This ad leans into the comfort of “familiar things,” promising you’d still get the desktop you knew while everything clicked into place. If 2015 taught you how to live with tiles, Cortana, and a cleaner start, this one hits right in the nostalgia.

Die RAM-Krise dürfte ihren Teil zur Verbreitung von Linux auf dem Desktop beitragen ...
Während Windows 10 bei mir alleine immer schon so um die 8 GB RAM gefressen hat, kommt Bazzite mit Firefox, Thunderbird, Steam und Teamspeak mit 5 GB aus.

FYI: #Edge 151.x (released July 30, 2026) #crashes on certain #Windows10 machines. So far, the only solution is to downgrade (which is a pain on W10 2016 LTSC in diagnostic devices); there have been a few confirmed cases so far.

Der #Edge 151.x (Release 30.7.2026) stürzt bei bestimmten #Windows10 Maschinen ab. Bisher hilft nichts außer Downgrade (doof bei W10 2016 LTSC in Diagnose-Ständen), bisher einige bestätigte Fälle.

🐧 StatCounter에 따르면 리눅스가 미국에서 시장 점유율 10%를 달성했고, 전 세계적으로는 7.51%에 도달했습니다. 새 블로그 글에서 그 이유를 분석했어요: 윈도우 10 지원 종료, 소프트웨어 발전, 로컬 AI, 그리고 마이크로소프트의 프라이버시 문제까지. 여러분은 리눅스로 넘어갈 생각 있으신가요?

🐧 Linux just hit 10% market share in the US according to StatCounter, and 7.51% globally. In my new post I break down why: end of Windows 10 support, better software, local AI, and people fed up with Microsoft's privacy practices. Are you considering the switch?

🐧 Linux ha alcanzado el 10% de cuota en EE.UU. según StatCounter, y globalmente ya está en el 7.51%. En mi nueva entrada hablo de por qué está pasando esto: fin de soporte de Windows 10, mejora del software, IA local y hartazgo con la privacidad de Microsoft. ¿Vosotros os lo estáis planteando? 👇
