  Tamaki group protesting against immigration & "foreign religions" in UK
Posted by: Lilith7 - 15-09-2025, 11:43 AM - Forum: News and Current Affairs - Replies (4)

You really have to wonder - really Brian, "foreign religions?"
  So...where exactly do you think yours comes from, then?

Hint: NOT Aotearoa New Zealand.... Big Grin Rolleyes

But it gets even better - David Seymour wants 'everyone who's committed to building a free & tolerant society' to know they are welcome here.'

Just as long as they're really, really wealthy & really,really right wing no doubt; poor people need not apply. Rolleyes

  Windows 10 End of Support - October 14
Posted by: king1 - 14-09-2025, 07:27 PM - Forum: Computing and Technology - Replies (52)

Most PCs/laptops that can upgrade to Windows 11 will have done so already.   

I noticed a message in Windows update on a clients laptop that offered extended support for Windows 10, which comes at a price of USD$30

details are here in the FAQ at the bottom of the page - Windows 10 Extended Security Updates (ESU)

https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/...upport?r=1

Only gets you off the hook for a year though...

Defiant nuns flee Austrian care home for their abandoned convent in the Alps

This is how my mother felt, she hated the care home she was forced to be in because of the damage to our house caused by the Christchurch earthquakes.

Mum was 93 when she died but not at the damaged home she loved.
