Why do you think the writing is on the wall? Tesla continues to have the highest selling models on the planet, and they continue to grow on that despite their junk reliability rating. I'm not going to buy one because of the continued build quality issues (and lack of Carplay), but I appreciate that they're the best player in an EV market that is massively lacking in infrastructure and affordability. Besides the EV technology needing to eventually outpace gasoline, self-driving technology is undoubtedly going to be the future. It's not going to happen tomorrow and not even in 10 years, but within our lifetimes, most cars on the road will be self-driving. That's the only way to solve the issue of a million deaths on the road. Waymo is using technology that's simply too expensive, which means it has to charge high fares. Tesla is going to blow past them with their ~$40k car and further yet when they release that weird looking 2-seater. Pretty soon Nvidia is going to be a market player, Amazon will be a player, and possibly the other 20+ startups that are working on a vehicle. I'd like to revisit this in a year and see how the market looks. I'm willing to bet there will be a huge increase of driverless cars on the road, and I doubt that Waymo is going to be the majority of them. Waymo isn't profitable for Google, so it's entirely possible the plug gets pulled as soon as several players leave them in the dust. -

I have always found it funny how so many here complain everyday about Windows but often are the same people who will attack anyone who even suggests using Linux. -

I don't think even with these options, will people enroll in this program. I mean, it's certainly a welcome change for us power users, and I think many will take advantage of it. But like the article says, Windows 10 remains the dominant OS, and I don't think this is going to change in 4 months time. Having mainstream Windows 10 users have to jump through hoops just to continue to receive updates is going to be an unnecessary hassle. The only remedy is for Microsoft to extend support for 4 more years, giving users enough time to just upgrade their PCs as the hardware naturally ages out. -

Windows 11 gets fixes for stuck Windows Update by Taras Buria Earlier this week, Microsoft started a gradual rollout of KB5062324, a small configuration update for Windows 11 version 24H2. The goal is to address an issue with a stuck Windows Update, which is unable to finish scanning for available updates. Microsoft is rolling out KB5062324 gradually. You can get it by heading to Settings > Windows Update and toggling "Get the latest updates as soon as they're available." After that, restart your computer and check for available updates. Windows Update should properly detect KB5062324 and download it to fix issues with update detection. In the support document for KB5062324, Microsoft added that the bug could be mitigated by restarting Windows. This will get Windows Update unstuck and allow the system to finish update scanning. Users can also get a permanent solution by downloading KB5058499 (the May 2025 non-security update) or a newer release. Note that the bug only affects computers with Windows 11 version 24H2. Older releases are unaffected. Windows 11 version 24H2 still has a few known issues awaiting their fixes. For example, there are compatibility issues with the sprotect.sys driver, which causes apps to stop responding, audio output losses on PCs with Dirac Audio, apps hanging when using cameras, and more. You can find the complete list of known issues in Windows 11 version 24H2 here. Speaking of updates and fixes, Microsoft today released a non-security update for Windows 10. KB5061087 (build number 19045.6036) is now available for download, and it includes various fixes for the Start menu, USB printers, incorrect Windows version reporting, and more. The update arrived minutes after Microsoft announced that the Extended Security Update program would be free for Windows 10 users. Also, the company recently revealed its plans to pull legacy drivers from Windows Update. -
