SES participates in replacement for Ukraine’s Starlink network
This sounds good to me, the first step is removing our reliance on the USA once and for all. You can read more about this on the Europe Says website here

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].

Zoom can be used to train AI
Looks like the new Zoom terms and conditions now allow training AI on user content with no opt out. 🤣 See section 10.2
I am not too sure what data is shared, or how it is used, but big tech is clearly incapable of playing fairly, we have companies using all uploaded data to train AI, for example photos, text, code anything and usually the consent is given via terms and conditions so end users are so tied in to closed systems, the users auto consent weather they like it or not.
The fact that zoom is used by organisation such as child protection agencies also for me RAISES SERIOUS CONCERNS.
Please consider using an alternative that actually protects and respects privacy such as Big Blue Button
