Microsoft Begins Final Rollout Phase for Windows 11 24H2 to Compatible PCs
The update is rolling out automatically to Home and Pro editions of Windows 11 versions 23H2, 22H2, and 21H2, as long as these systems are not managed by IT departments. Microsoft says that some devices may not see the update right away if there are known compatibility issues, as reported by Bleeping Computer.
Users can use the PC Health Check app for Windows 11 specifications and system requirements to see if their system is ready for the update. For those who want to install the update manually, going to Windows Update settings and clicking "Check for Updates" will show the download option if the device is eligible.
The Windows 11 24H2 update has new AI capabilities, an improved Energy Saver, Wi-Fi 7 compatibility, and more.
The update first started rolling out for enterprise testing in May 2024 and was released as a complete update for other users in October. By late January 2025, it had also been made available to all eligible Windows 10 22H2 PCs. Microsoft says the update is now in its last phase of rollout.

Nvidia Nears $4T Valuation, Overtakes Apple in Historic Market Cap Surge
July 4 - Shares of Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) climbed about 2.4% Thursday to $160.98, lifting its market capitalization to roughly $3.92 trillion. That move briefly put Nvidia on track to surpass Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), which closed at a record $3.915 trillion on Dec. 26, 2024. Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) sits in second place with a market value near $3.65 trillion, while Apple holds about $3.17 trillion. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with NVDA. Nvidia's jump reflects robust demand for its AI?focused chips, which power large language models and other compute?heavy applications. Remarkably, Nvidia now tops the combined value of all publicly listed companies in Canada and Mexico, as well as the total market cap of UK?traded firms, Reuters reported. Analysts warn that Nvidia's rally could face challenges if chip production scales up or geopolitical issues disrupt supply chains. Still, its pricing power and strong order backlog may help sustain investor interest. As Nvidia vies to become the most valuable company ever, market watchers will monitor whether it can maintain this momentum into the second half of 2025. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

4 ChatGPT Prompts To Earn $1,000/Week Outside Of Your Job
Your employer is not a plan You've just signed the mortgage documents. You've finally purchased your dream home and you're surrounded by a small but growing, healthy family. You're secure in a 'good,' stable, white-collar job, one that your parents are proud of, and you can even work from home two to three days a week. But just as you're getting comfortable and settling into your version of the American dream, one Slack message changes everything: 'I regret to inform you…' And just like that, your dream vanishes in an instant. All that you've worked so hard to build and achieve, has been snatched away by an employer chasing AI and efficiency. Another 9,000 tech workers lost their livelihoods this week, at one of the most enviable Big Tech firms--Microsoft, making it the third and largest wave of layoffs this year from the global tech giant. Other employers, like Bumble, Google, and Intel, have already reduced their workforce in the first half of this year, according to TechCrunch. Every year since the pandemic, there has been wave after wave of layoffs--partly spiraled by the aftermath of 2019's global health crisis, and partially fueled by the AI boom and politics (tariffs and DOGE-induced federal cuts this year). All of these workforce reductions scream loudly: The concept of job security is dead. So, what's the alternative solution? Enter portfolio careers. How To Future-Proof Yourself From Layoffs A portfolio career is when you have multiple streams of income, and are able to leverage your skills in several ways, reducing your dependency on one income source for survival. This provides several benefits: I spoke with Glassdoor's career pivot strategist Janel Abrahami, who explains: 'To achieve the 'American dream,' you need a career that is based off of multiple projects, clients and income streams as opposed to the more traditional, one corporate 9-5.' This reduces your dependency on your full-time job. When I asked Abrahami what would constitute a good mix of income streams, she suggested the four C's: These four C's unlock your earning potential, and with the below ChatGPT prompts, you'll eventually be in a position to make $1,000 and even more, each week, using the same skills your employer tossed aside in favor of "restructuring." 4 ChatGPT Prompts To Make $1,000+ Outside Your Primary Job Here are some ChatGPT prompts to use which leverage each of the four C's listed above: I'm launching a course online to teach [type of professional] how to do [end outcome that you've already achieved]. Here is my experience [share highlights or attach your resume]. Create the outline for a self-paced course priced at a reasonable price to begin with. The goal is for it to be sold online with minimal hands-on delivery and it should convey how I do [XYZ] step-by-step in very practical, tangible ways. List how many modules and topics would be covered, and how long would the video lessons be for each. You're my business consultant. My skill and industry background is in [name your expertise or work area], and I would like to launch a paid community as an extra source of income on top of my job.

Create a consulting package for [target audience] that is high-ticket and solves [a highly specific niche problem] which is specifically for business clients and key decision makers. Give me a 90-day content plan and perks to include in my paid Medium/Substack newsletter for [area of expertise] Also include suggestions for tiers for subscription pricing of the monthly newsletter subscription. How To Make $1,000/Week Outside Your Job Should you start with all four ideas at one time? Abrahami doesn't think that's wise. However, she suggests that you start with the one that's easiest and most natural for you to implement. So if you find that creating an online course is the easiest option for you, jump into that first. If conducting consulting or coaching calls is less time-consuming and easier for you to start with right away, do that instead. Follow these steps to scale your income beyond your 9-5: Using this approach, you can scale in a way that's natural, reasonably paced, and not overwhelming or time-consuming. You can also build passive income (through paid content, communities, and courses). And now, you can see just how realistic it can be to earn $1,000 or more every week, purely from one skill that your employer would no longer pay you for. Create career and income immunity by leveraging the very skills you use in your 9-5, outside of your ... More job FAQs Can I make $1,000 in a week?

The Morning After: Big, Beautiful Fallout
The so-called 'Big, Beautiful Bill' has passed with plenty of nasty treats for the US technology and manufacturing industries. As well as swinging the sword at basic environmental protection measures, the bill sticks its thumb in the eye of the EV industry. Tim Stevens takes you on a tour of the most salient changes, like the imminent end of the EV tax credit. Joining that on the bonfire is the used EV incentive, as well as the rebates for the purchase of commercial EVs. Similarly, for all of this administration's talk of bringing manufacturing back to the US, the bill is a middle finger for domestic solar companies. The US is the only credible manufacturing rival to China in solar panels, but the bill cuts these businesses off at the knees. I spoke to people inside the US solar industry who know that, despite whatever tariffs are implemented, this bill opens the door to a flood of cheap, Chinese-made solar panels to usurp their US rivals. An earlier version of the bill also contained moves that could only be described as weirdly vindictive. It previously proposed an annual EV tax of $250 (and $100 for hybrid owners) as well as a general levy on all wind and solar projects. Why? A cynic might suggest it was due to the bill being drafted to benefit fossil fuel companies at the expense of literally everyone else. Anyway, hopefully you can enjoy the holiday and won't need to spend it panic-buying an EV and US-made solar panels. Although that's not actually a bad way to spend a long weekend. — Dan Cooper Get Engadget's newsletter delivered direct to your inbox. Subscribe right here!

Microsoft has announced it will cut 9,000 jobs from its global workforce, with much of that focus on its gaming division. Engadget's Jessica Conditt got the inside scoop from employees at Halo Studios, who reveal all is not well at what should be one of Microsoft's crown jewels. Sadly, the company was already gutted back in 2023, and the lukewarm reception of its work since then is a sign of how badly things are going. Continue Reading. Igor Bonifacic for Engadget Translating a work of art is a delicate task requiring nuanced knowledge of both the culture and the languages you're translating from and to. Unless you're Anime-favoring streaming service Crunchyroll, which just dumped subtitle files into ChatGPT and hoped for the best. As well as a general sloppiness, Engadget's Igor Bonifacic found instances of lines beginning with 'ChatGPT said:' at the start of a line. Crunchyroll said the subtitles were the result of the unauthorized action of a "third-party vendor," and it is working to rectify the error right now. Continue Reading.
