Windows 10 has had a bad month microsoft released the october update only to have
it delete users files and they're still trying to fix it in order to re-release
it but then yesterday users with activated copies of Windows 10 pro
received messages saying that their os was not in fact activated and that they
had to either install Windows 10 home or purchase a genuine copy of Windows when
some affected users contacted microsoft support they were told they would need
to buy proper licenses to fix the problem and apparently some people
actually did this microsoft has started rolling out a see
that's why these microsoft tech support scams work all you have to do is be like
hi i'm microsoft you have to buy something and people just do it they
have that kind of power wow billy now microsoft has started rolling out a fix
so if your Windows does suddenly deactivate itself
don't panic and just run the activation troubleshooter but all these problems
are just not a good look for microsoft's Windows division they might just drive
people to switch back to vista wait who's billy

sony's upcoming playstation classic mini console will cost a hundred dollars and
the company will probably make a killing on it because the device runs an open
source emulator called pcsx rearmed
which anyone can install on a pc and use
for free now to be fair it makes sense for sony
to use an existing well-made emulator for the classic it just makes the 100
price tag a little harder to swallow probably because you shouldn't swallow
price tags don't tell them what to do microsoft and amazon have been teasing

of tens of millions of dollars from atms in asia and africa using the fast cash

really creepy is that the ai modifies footage of a real anchor so it does look
like a real person speaking not a lizard person because who needs real humans to

hey wait a second you know what else sounds dumb the fact that this episode
is over stupid but it's okay because we'll be back on
monday with more news and lots of it trust me it's going to be the biggest
news you've ever seen hey why are you wearing this
because i'm an actor
it's broken detective oh broke it just broke
oh it's not a real gun is it
no
