Microsoft's big lie: Your computer is fine (and you don’t need to buy a new one)
Windows 10 support ends in October, and the company is telling millions of users their machines can’t support Windows 11. That’s simply not true.
Since pretty much forever I always bought reman desktops and stuff from Tiger Direct. TD was bought by insight.com. Haven't bought anything there yet but need a newer PC. Looks expensive though

Microsoft’s extra year of free Windows 10 security updates feels like a last-minute snooze button — while groups like "The Restart Project" still want to help users
The Restart Project co-developed the "End of 10" toolkit to support Windows 10 users who can't upgrade to Windows 11.

Should You Sign Up for Extended Security Updates (ESU) for Windows 10?
I'll review the security protection for Windows 10 beyond its official end-of-support date: what it means, pros and cons, and what we know about how to get it -- perhaps even for free.

Unbeknownst to me. I had a ton of Microsoft Rewards points so I got this "update" for 3 pc's at least for another year.

30 TB, can you imagine? (I hadn't looked at pricing in a while and see 20TB in the $2-300 range)

. My first "computer" was the Cambridge Programmable that I bought in mid-1975. It's the one with the purple display and it needed a 9 volt battery. I was a college student, studying for a BA, so it wasn't very useful to me but it was amazing that you could tell a calculator "what to do".

AI based scanners at Hertz 
"Most stories involved Hertz and Sixt, but notably, one individual said they had to drive their Avis rental through a scanner at LAX, while another claimed that Enterprise was using a scanner at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston. Neither noted any problems in those instances, but these reports show that this technology may be gaining ground even more quickly than the public realizes."
