Submission + - Is Windows 7 about to overtake Windows 10? (gbnews.com)
alternative_right writes: According to StatCounter, Windows 7 has been rapidly gaining market share in recent weeks — a full five years after support for the desktop operating system was officially terminated. At the latest count, Windows 7 is now used by some 22.65% of all Windows PCs worldwide. That's an increase from the 18.97% just a little over a month ago.
As of last month, users were already switching to Windows 7 in record numbers, but that number had only totalled to 9.6% worldwide.

Submission + - PC sales explode in Q3 as Windows 11 deadlines force millions to upgrade (nerds.xyz)
BrianFagioli writes: IDC says global PC shipments jumped 9.4 percent in Q3 2025, reaching nearly 76 million units. Asia and Japan led the growth thanks to school projects and corporate refreshes tied to Windows 10â(TM)s end of support. North America was the weak link, with tariffs and economic unease keeping buyers on the sidelines even as aging fleets strain under Windows 11 pressure.
Lenovo kept its top spot with 25.5 percent market share, followed by HP at 19.8 and Dell at 13.3. Apple and ASUS both posted double-digit growth. IDCâ(TM)s takeaway is clear: the PC market is not surging on flashy new features, it is being pulled forward by deadlines, old batteries, and the reality that five-year-old laptops do not cut it anymore.

Same with my 22" Samsung dumb HDTV and many other stuff that still work well. Even my OminCube, KVM from Y2K, still works.

Submission + - This Isn't Your Father's Weed - and It's Tied to 42 Percent of Fatal Crashes (facs.org) 1
schwit1 writes: The study, just published in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons, reviewed data for 246 deceased Ohio drivers, and found an average THC blood level of 30.7 ng/ML — 15 times the state's legal limit — in 41.9% of dead drivers.
Here in Colorado, the average THC concentration of the legal stuff is approximately 21%, based on comprehensive lab testing of weed statewide. That's just the average concentration.
Frogurt — a name-brand grown and sold in Michigan — tests at 41%. Something called Future #1 is up to 37% THC, and the Permanent Marker brand runs at an average of 34%.
Back in the day, the hard-to-find 15% stuff was the much-sought-after "one-hit weed." The average pot today is 50% stronger. But for people willing to pay a little more, they can get stuff four times more powerful than much of anything your typical 1990 dorm-room smoker enjoyed behind the Redwood Curtain.
The industrial-scale pot-growing enabled by legalization made the stronger concentrations possible, probably even inevitable. Easy availability changes the equation, too. Around 2000, 5% or so of adults reported "regular" pot use of at least once a month. In 2024, that number was 15%.
But cultural conditions have changed greatly since 2000. People were likely less willing back then to answer positively. So we just don't know what the true figures are, but if the trendline is up for regular pot smoking, then the trendline for potency is way up.
About the only thing we can conclude with any certainty is that you'd have to be stoned out of your gourd to think it's a good idea to drive while impaired.

Submission + - LibreOffice Needs a Bullt-in Non-AI Adulterated Grammar Checker 1
BrendaEM writes: LibreOffice writer is a great word processor. Its menus are coherent. It suffer from suffers from less inline style-corruption than Word. Its files are lossless compressed to save on disk space--allowing you to save more often, but as download and installed, there seems to be no functioning grammar checker. I will not write for all writers, but I have no trust for anything touched by unchecked AI. I just want things like double space checking, punctuation, and that kind of thing, grammar checking before large companies lined up to steal your content. While grammar checking extensions are available, most are touched by AI, or require additional Java. So, why is no included grammar checking in LibreOffice?
