Microsoft’s support for Windows 10 (version 1507) ends today. This is the original version of Windows 10, released publicly in July 2015. Wait, is this some stealth way to get us to upgrade to Win10?

It's a good start.
They'll soon be stopping support for future versions, as well, which will save a lot of time.

They're slow as molasses, as always.
My support for winio ended many months ago.

Hmm, dunno.
My support for "the next windows" began when they released 8 (I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in that).
But I can see how it might seem as you say, given that my support for winio ended somewhere around ten minutes after I tried it.

The Public Review Ballot for JSR 376, the Java Platform Module System is behind us. The EC has not approved it and now the race to build a better version has begun. Oracle voted for it? How odd.

Are there any news outlets left that publish news without a political or ideological bias or agenda? Any that don't suppress news or change it's content to make it more palatable?
Every news article could be considered fake news to some degree; my feeling is that this "fake news" crusade is more about giving the establishment powers to remove news that they don't want you to see.
I remember how much the media and government tried their best to cover up the New Year attacks in Cologne.. it took weeks for the news to actually surface across Europe.

I imagine it's very tempting to class "inconvenient news" as "fake news" to maintain power.
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

Every news article is biased because encyclopedia articles are boring to the average reader, but bias doesn't make it fake, in spite of what some claim. Fake would be publishing articles about things that didn't happen.

Twisting the news is just as bad as making news up - lying is lying, no matter how people may spin it.

Twisting and bias can be removed by reading several sources with different inclinations. The real problem is the excessive functional analphabetism of modern people (i.e. they are alphabetized in the sense that they can read and write but they cannot understand what they are reading or produce grammatically correct writing).

Agreed, but that's the point isn't it? What this really comes down to is that the mainstream news outlets publish what suits their agendas and they want to shut down anyone else who might interfere with that.

Twisting news is deceptive, but it's not fake. And it can be worse than making it up because while it's technically true, the conclusions you draw from it are wrong.
The optimal solution, of course, is to read news from sources that are biased in opposite directions. But that requires confronting our own biases.

Just answered that one above.. this "fake news" crusade is being used to ensure that you only get the "approved" version of the news. Anyone who publishes anything different will be closed down.

The idea of governments being involved in chasing down fake news is abhorrent, as it would lead to nothing but propaganda being published.
It is something that should be led by journalists' associations.

To some extent, yes. But how may newspapers does the average person read in a day? Leaving the tabloids aside for the minute, maybe if I had the time (and I rarely manage to find the time for one paper) I'd read The Guardian then read The Times for balance and be fairly happy that I was living on a relatively balanced collection of perspectives on what will, more or less, be the same stories.
But how could I do the same thing with the red-tops? They all run with different sets of invented/exaggerated tosh and all I'd be getting would be a double dose of disinformation.
