Windows 10 support end date is October 25th, 2025
Windows 10 support ends next year, if your hardware is fine, but you don't want to or can't upgrade to Windows 11 or beyond. Maybe have a look at Linux mint [1] as a replacement.
You need to look at what you are using your computer for, Linux based systems are NOT for everyone, esp if you are a gamer, but there are a lot of tasks you can do just as well on a Linux system as you can on Windows. Office apps are covered in the form of LibreOffice, for example [2].

Space Bricks from meteorite dust
LEGO creates 'space bricks' made from meteorite dust – Physics World
Interesting article from Physics world, on a possible construction solution for bases on the Moon. Lego and a team of scientists from the ESA have created bricks from material from a crushed meteorite and a few other materials
I have started a Fediverse thread on this topic to ask if this technology could perhaps be combined with Boron Nitride in order to provide extra space radiation shielding.

Astro events
Over the summer, there is going to be a significant astronomical event. that will take place in the constellation of Corona Borealis. The event is in fact a nova, and not a supernova. I asked on the Fediverse to clarity what is going to happen.
Just making this post so I can also share some related links to help clarify the difference between the various types of Nova event.

Handbook of X-ray and Gamma-ray Astrophysics
This was posted to the Fediverse earlier today, I replied to the post with a link to the resource [1]. As mentioned, there are a good few papers on arXiv [2]
This is a great way to bring together related resources so they can be found quickly and easily.

Overleaf Beta Testing
As I have signed up in the Overleaf beta testing programme, I am able to access new features early. The latest is testing their AI tool to help fix any errors to the LaTeX code.
This is going well so far, and seems a useful feature, especially as LaTeX can throw up problems that are harder to identify at times
Updates
7/7/2024 : I have made a video to illustrate how this feature can be used:
