Microsoft will end Windows 10 support in October 2025

The next version of Windows will be revealed next week, on June 24th.

 

Microsoft has revealed when it will put Windows 10 out to pasture. It will stop support for the current operating system on October 14th, 2025. That means Microsoft expects the transition to the next version of Windows, which it will show off on June 24th, to take around four years.

The company quietly announced the news in a support page update, as spotted by Thurrott. Previously, the page noted when Microsoft would end support for certain versions of Windows 10. It now states Microsoft started supporting Windows 10 Home and Pro on July 29th, 2015 and reveals the operating system's "retirement date." The end-of-support timeline puts the Windows 10 lifecycle at a hair over 10 years, similar to previous iterations of the OS.

I bought a box of baby wipes and a box of Huggies from Target and put them in my Jeep. Then walked next door to the grocery store to pick up a few things. When I came out, someone had stolen the wipes and diapers from my Jeep. I mean, I don't mind helping a family in need out, but fuck, could you at least ask first? That shit cost $50!

 

Guess I shouldn't shop at multiple stores with the top down and the doors off.

Lmfao I mean mass will in general not fake their feelings vs Midwest. Been told about how theirs a thing called Minnesota nice which is basically be overly nice on the surface but fake as fuck. More or less what snobby white mean girls do but as a whole ass state

People in the south & Midwest won't fake their feelings, they just won't go out of the way to tell you they don't like you if they don't know you and you're being out of pocket. Minnesota/Wisconsin people are legit nice too in my experience and I think that's where it comes from. They're very hospitable up there and I always enjoyed being up there when I toured.

When I was trying to clean out my cube last week, one of the pieces snapped, so I ended up ordering the nicer cube I'd been wanting and I finally got my hands on it today. Man is it awesome. It's like getting a stick that really jives with the way you play, and it feels just about right. 

 

The store I bought it from was giving away free puzzles with a $50 purchase so I ended up getting this Pyraminx puzzle that I actually just solved without even having to look it up. Might have been some beginners luck but ill try again tomorrow and see lol.

I’ve been cleaning and organizing my closet since about 6pm and it feels like my leg is about to explode. I didn’t realize I was doing so much until I packed my last box and stood up. My leg was having slight tremors 
 

Thankfully I can’t do any more to it until sometime Thursday when my new dresser gets here. So I can rest up tomorrow. Once it’s done I’ll post pictures cause I’m already super proud of how much I busted my ass cleaning it. 
 

I love feeling motivated again. As much as this dieting has really sucked it’s also made me super goal oriented again. Which I use to be back when I worked at the hobby store. So I’ve really missed this feeling.

Getting in a positive flow feels great. I'm on my grind as well right now. Still cooking, but I've been running a 5K about 5 times a week consistently since mid April. It's been a long time since I have felt this focused.

You’re a masochist. Lol. Even when I played volley ball I hated doing road work.

 

that said, to start I’m going to start going to the gym to do cardio on recumbent bikes once a week for an hour. Then add other things (exercises, time I’m there, how often I’m there) as my body gets more use to excess activity. 
 

when I told her I wanted to start slow and pace myself into it she was like “I’m so happy to hear that. You have no idea how often people think they need to go ham when first starting to work out. It never gets them the results or they hurt themselves cause their body has no clue how to react”

I've adopted one of David Goggins principles for life- Do something you hate every day 🤣

 

I honestly loathe running, but it takes little prep to get a work out in. My rule is to never do laps around anything (to the best of my ability). That prevents me from bitching out. If you run 1.7 miles one way, you gotta get back.

I am so glad you said that. I say "run" but about 80% of my workouts are in Zone 2 with a little bit of sprint work at the very end. When I started I was trying to do the "RUN TILL YOU DIE" approach and was hurting after every run. Now, I get tired but don't ache. I was also having some issues with my patellar tendon. This type of training plus some dumbbell resistance training 3x a week has really helped out.

 

Many people try to make goals that they aren't reasonably attainable. Unless you have a deadline, this isn't a race. I'm a Project Manager by trade, so I've pretty much turned my physical conditioning into implementing ME 2.0. My success so far has come down to three things:

 

Eat less

Move more

Make your own food

My average score was 200ms on the dot.  Going to take this with a grain of salt though, because the input device that you're using is going to make a really significant difference in the times you get.

I was using my phone, what'd you use? Good score!

Man, I hope they do it right this time.  I'll give 8 a pass because some people have said they liked it for their reasons although I didn't like it myself for reasons.  Vista was so horrible they made a joke about it in a videogame as one piece of gear you can collect is called,"Discarded plans for Brainiac Vista".  

 

10?  It's pissing me off on one major reason right now:  Why the fuck does ANYTHING save anything in WebP?  Who the fuck uses that shit?  NOBODY.  Straight bullshit and Win10 included it.

 

Also:  Why does your goddamn windows 10 photo viewer close after a few days?  The fuck is that shit about?  (And somehow, it is always the damn picture I'm using that decides to close, causing me to search through a near-endless group of folders to find it again, thereby wasting lord alone knows how much time.  FUCK YOU WIN 10!!)

 

Whatever they do in the new OS I hope it'll be more like XP/7.  I know I'm asking for the world here ,but PLEASE STRIP THE FUCKING BLOATWARE AND SPYWARE OUT OF THE FUCKING OS!!  Damn.  Shit be running slow as fuck and I don't need your damn shit spying on me while I'm doing,"Special Studies".  I'm trying to learn stuff over here and this thing is trying to steal my pornhub   err, classroom password.

 

 

Beyond these little gripes, let's get something back in the machine that I can easily go into and change settings as needed.   Me in particular, I tend to switch audio inputs a lot during the day thanks to music programs and such.  that and I like to access my internal/external drives with a few clicks, not searching and making special folders for them.  Just a few things of the top of my mind.
