Windows 10 end of life is today, and a lot of people don't want to switch to 11 because they fucking hate it but didn't know what they could do to get the Extended Security Updates; well it seems like this might be something:
Windows 10 End of Life is in less than 2 weeks!
But you don't have to upgrade to Windows 11!!
This video will show you how to extend the life of Windows 10 by 3 more years via Extended Security Updates program safely, for free.

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important
⚠️ Chinese researchers have invented bone glue that mimics how oysters stick to surfaces underwater.
The adhesive can reportedly repair orthopedic fractures in 2-3 minutes, even in blood-rich environments, and is bioabsorbable.

Here’s hoping the results bear out and can be operationalized at scale.
