Hello fellow developer, well, it happened: Microsoft officially ended Windows 10 support. This means millions of PCs become insecure, the Windows 11 installer ironically failed on the same day and it could be an e-Waste disaster in the making. Then again, trying to keep outdated things alive is tough, too as IE Mode got hacked to be a backdoor. One thing is for sure, we always have to keep attacks in mind, even when it feels wrong to cut people off. If you can constantly update your machines, do so!
