The windows 10 (and mac) apocalypse 2.0

Wednesday, October 9| 1:00pm

Clark Room, Town Hall

This session is a follow-up to our previous lecture, where we’ll dive deeper into the upcoming changes. Apple is ending support for all pre-2018 Macs in the fall of 2024, and Microsoft will end support for Windows 10 in the fall of 2025. This leaves hundreds of millions of personal computers vulnerable to hackers and miscreants—including, perhaps, yours! In this talk, Bob Supnik will explore the timeline for these events and discuss options for securing your personal computers.
