Signal is an encrypted messaging application owned by the nonprofit Signal Foundation, known for its end-to-end encryption. The app has drawn attention in a controversy in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, involving allegations that school board members used Signal to communicate after being instructed to retain records related to a Sunshine Act lawsuit. This has raised concerns about the potential destruction of evidence, as Signal's auto-delete feature may violate federal record retention laws. Additionally, during the Trump administration, Mike Waltz inadvertently included a journalist in a Signal chat discussing a military strike, raising questions about the appropriateness of using commercial messaging for sensitive government communications. The use of auto-deleting messages has sparked debate regarding public accountability and compliance with the Presidential Records Act, as many records must be retained for a minimum of two years.

Windows has a hidden power mode called Ultimate Performance that can enhance PC performance without hardware upgrades. This mode is typically concealed on consumer PCs and is primarily intended for high-end workstations running Windows Pro, but it can also be accessed on Windows Home. To activate it, users need to open PowerShell and enter a specific command, then select Ultimate Performance from the power plan options. While this mode maximizes speed and responsiveness, it consumes more power, which can decrease battery life on laptops and generate additional heat and noise from the cooling system. It is recommended to use this mode during intensive tasks and not in quiet or public environments.

Microsoft is notifying Windows 10 users that support will end on October 14, 2025, meaning no more free software updates, technical assistance, or security fixes will be provided. Users are encouraged to upgrade to Windows 11, which is described as more secure, or to trade in or recycle their old devices. While Windows 10 PCs will continue to function, they will not receive support after the deadline. Many PCs made before 2018 may not meet the requirements for Windows 11 due to lacking the TPM 2.0 module, potentially leaving around 1 billion machines on Windows 10. As of February 2025, Windows 10 holds a 58% market share, while Windows 11 has 38%.
