Today, security support for Windows 10 ends, rendering up to 400 million computers unsecure to use in the largest case of premature, planned obsolescence to date.

Latest blog from Ugo Vallauri, co-director @therestartproject.org, on why this is such a big issue and what's being done to solve it:

It's a hot topic, I know.

Everyone's been asking themselves...

Where on this polluted, once-green Earth can I find the most sustainable SVG icons to support light, dark, and eco mode for my website or other GUI?
