WINTER PARK, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Humata Health, a leader in delivering AI-powered touchless prior authorizations, today announced the availability of its platform in Microsoft Azure Marketplace, an online store providing applications and services for use on Azure. Healthcare payers and providers that want to automate prior authorization can now take advantage of the productive and trusted Azure cloud platform, with streamlined deployment and management.
Humata helps patients and members get the care they deserve by transforming prior authorization from end-to-end with artificial intelligence (AI) and automation. For providers, this includes every step from determining if authorization is required for a specific procedure under a patient's specific health plan, through submission, status checks along the way, and post-approval monitoring for any changes that may invalidate a decision. For health plans, receiving higher quality submissions that include the exact information they need in order to provide approval, while automating the review of submissions, increases the speed and volume of approval.
'Humata Health exists for one reason – to make prior authorization easy and seamless for providers, payers and the patients they serve. Becoming a Microsoft partner and making our platform available on the Azure Marketplace is one more way we're fulfilling that mission,' said Humata Health founder and CEO Jeremy Friese, MD.

'Azure Marketplace and trusted partners like Humata Health help customers do more with less by increasing efficiency, buying confidently, and spending smarter.'

Microsoft Offers Free Windows 10 Extended Security Updates: Here's How to Get Them

Microsoft is closing the door on Windows 10 in October 2025, and will be ceasing security support for that operating system unless users pay $30 for a one-year extended security update. Now, Microsoft has added a free option. Users need to turn on cloud backup and connect it to their OneDrive account. The ability to get free updates on Windows 10 is a pretty big deal because it is still the most widely used Windows OS, accounting for just over 53% of installs as of May 2025. That leaves millions of people without security support in just a few months unless they upgrade. So the cloud backup option gives users a way out without costing them any money. The only potential issue is OneDrive. Anyone with a Microsoft account gets up to 5GB of storage for free. However, as The Verge points out, some backups may exceed this limitation, requiring users to purchase a monthly or yearly plan. At $1.99 per month for 100GB of cloud storage, a year of OneDrive still costs less than the $30 for a year of additional security updates, but it still may cause frustration among some users. Windows 10 was released in July 2015, more than a decade ago. Microsoft will be rolling out the ESU wizard in July 2025. Microsoft How to get Windows 10 security updates for free Per Microsoft's blog post, there are now three options for people who want to stay on Windows 10 and still receive security updates. Use Windows Backup to sync settings to the cloud via OneDrive. Redeem 1,000 Microsoft Rewards points. Redeeming those points can buy you one year of security updates. Pay $30 for the extended security updates program. Users will be presented with these options starting in July, which is when Microsoft plans to roll out the sign-up wizard for the Extended Security Updates program. Signing up for this option will guarantee updates until Oct. 13, 2026, although businesses will have the option to purchase up to three years of additional updates. So, this isn't a long-term solution, but rather gives consumers more time to upgrade to Windows 11. It's been an uphill battle for Microsoft as people have been resilient in upgrading their existing hardware. There are myriad differences between the two operating systems, but Microsoft's string of unpopular decisions along with Windows 11 compatibility issues have kept the prior generation OS around a lot longer than it normally would be.

Romero Games says reports of its death are greatly exaggerated

It appeared that Romero Games might have shuttered as a consequence of the sweeping job cuts at Microsoft last week, but the studio is still alive and kicking. In to a post on Bluesky, the company clarified that its latest project is currently canceled after its funding was pulled. The post doesn't name the publisher due to confidentiality agreements, but it sure seems like Microsoft was the purse behind the new game. Losing the money hasn't also meant that Romero Games is closing its doors, but the next steps will be difficult ones for the team. "We now have to reassess the entire staffing of our studio," the post reads. The canceled project was billed on Romero Games' website as a first-person shooter with a brand new, original intellectual property. It may eventually find new life with a new backer. "We've been contacted by several publishers interested in helping us bring the game across the finish line, and we're currently evaluating those opportunities," the company said. Romero Games was founded in 2014 by storied game designers John and Brenda Romero.

Microsoft exec offers horrifying advice to laid off employees

Microsoft (MSFT) made an announcement last week that's become hauntingly familiar news in recent months: it's decided to conduct yet another round of layoffs. On June 2, the Redmond-based tech company said it will lay off less than 4% of its global workforce, which adds up to about 9,000 of its employees. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Microsoft has done multiple rounds of layoffs this year as it scales up its AI plans, leaving many wondering if they'll be next on the chopping block. It's a scary time to be in tech, as Meta, Amazon, and Google have also announced layoffs this year. All these companies have also been building their AI investments, with Meta committing to spend $65 billion in 2025, Amazon committing $100 billion, and Google committing to $75 billion. Related: Microsoft sends a brutal message to loyal employees Add into this that the news is crammed with threats of AI eliminating jobs, and it's naturally creating a lot of anxiety for those who have been laid off and need to look for a new role. People often wax philosophical on LinkedIn about layoffs, whether they were affected by them or simply want to comment on what they mean for the affected industry. But when a key Microsoft executive decided to do so in a recent post, he hit a nerve with comments that seemed tone-deaf to the newly unemployed. In a now-deleted LinkedIn post screencapped by BlueSky user and Necrosoft Games Creative Director Brandon Sheffield, Executive Producer at Xbox Game Studios Publishing Matt Turnbull shared some thoughts on what he believed those affected by the recent Microsoft layoffs should do.

"I know these types of tools engender strong feelings in people, but I'd be remiss in not trying to offer the best advice I can under the circumstances," he continued. "I've been experimenting with ways to use LLM AI tools (like ChatGPT or Copilot) to help reduce the emotional and cognitive load that comes with job loss." Related: Microsoft joins Facebook and Google in upsetting practice Turnbull goes on to recommend a few prompts those affected by layoffs can use, including career planning prompts, resume help, how to draft a post to foster networking, and even how to ask an LLM for help with imposter syndrome. In his own post where he shared the screencap, Sheffield said, "Something I've realized over time is people in general lack the ability to think in a broader scope and include context and eventualities. But after thousands of people get laid off from your company, maybe don't suggest they turn to the thing you're trying to replace them with for solace." While the June jobs report looked positive at a glance, with the unemployment rate falling to 4.1% and 147,000 nonfarm jobs added per the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a deeper look reveals other troubles. Unemployment duration increased from 21.8 to 23 weeks, signifying a longer struggle to find work, and the percentage of people unemployed for 27 weeks or more rose to 23.3%. More stories are also emerging about the use of AI in both hiring and applying. Jobseekers have begun to report experiencing job interviews with AI instead of with human beings, with many finding the process clinical and disappointing. To fight back against what seems like an impossible job market, many applicants are also using AI to mass apply to jobs, leaving recruiters overwhelmed and unable to cope. Meanwhile, a recent ResumeBuilder survey also found that 66% of managers now turn to AI chatbots such as ChatGPT when making decisions about layoffs. In addition, 78% turn to it for decisions on raises, while 77% use it for deciding on promotions.
