Do you plan to stay on Windows 10 ? Here is how to get the security update for free during 1 year (links to 2 videos)
As you probably know, Microsoft has officially announced that support for its widely used Windows 10 operating system will end on October 14, 2025. After this date, computers running Windows 10 will continue to function but will no longer receive crucial updates, posing significant security risks and potential compatibility issues.
If you are like me, you have probably updated your system not so long ago so it can handle AI generation and your system is probably performing too well to update it to another OS now.
Here are 2 interesting videos that helped me to enroll for the extended security updates for free.
This is in case, the "Windows 10 Extended support enroll button is not showing up":

(This video was sufficient for me to get one year of free support.)
But in case it is not enough, check this video to get FREE security updates for another year:

Some AI news - October 6, 2025
- Kandinsky version 5.0: A family of diffusion models for Video & Image generation has been released. Models freely available on Huggingface. (Github). I suggest you to check the samples. If you want to test these models, you can use the python command line method, but it seems that there is a ComfyUI workflow too... I didn't test the model, but it seems to be more a competitor for Wan 2.2 5b than for Wan 2.2 14b (i usually use wan 2.2 that is better). The models have a size of 4-5 GB, making it possibly interesting for people with a medium-level gamer graphic card. I only saw Text to Videos models and I didn't test this myself. However I can see that some people report out of memory problems with some configurations, even with 24gb of VRAM. This picture gives some info about the models to use with ComfyUI.
- Elon Musk wants to build "Grokipedia" (i link to the most likely url) to compete with Wikipedia. The website will be available on October 19, 2025 according to Grok. More 1, More 2.
- Finally, SORA 2 has been recently released ! Please refer to this webpage, if you want to know more. I can't test the app, because it is only available on the Apple store. For the moment, the app seems oddly uncensored.
Here are some samples that i was able to find:
