This prompted a discussion about the autofill features that most devices have natively, and brought up whether the convenience of this feature outweighed the privacy risks associated with it.

Host(s): Abram Nanney and Sabir Abdul-Haqq (www.yourebs.biz)Topic: On October 14th of this year – 2025, Microsoft will officially cease offering support for their soon-to-be Legacy operating system Windows 10. This means that they will no longer update the OS which will put devices running Windows 10 at risk for hacks and threat actors. We’ve discussed this on the show previously, but we have failed to mention the solutions available to those who possess older devices that cannot upgrade to Windows 11, nor can they buy a newer device.
