DELIVERY FIGURES AND MARKET REACTION According to data released this week, Lucid delivered 2,374 vehicles during the quarter ending in September, a 6% increase from the previous quarter. However, Wall Street analysts surveyed by Reuters had expected closer to 2,700 units. Shares of Lucid fell more than 4% in premarket trading following the announcement, as investors interpreted the results as another sign that the company’s growth trajectory remains…

Microsoft is issuing new warnings to Windows 10 users as the company prepares to end support for the decade-old operating system, putting millions of computers at risk of security vulnerabilities. Users who fail to upgrade or pay for extended protection will soon face the reality of running software that no longer receives critical updates — a scenario experts describe as “a ticking clock for cybersecurity.” MICROSOFT’S FINAL COUNTDOWN FOR WINDOWS 10 The end-of-support phase for Windows 10 marks one of the largest transitions in Microsoft’s history. After nearly ten years of dominance across personal and business computing, the operating system is being phased out as Microsoft shifts its focus entirely to Windows 11 and the upcoming AI-powered Windows 12. When the official support period expires, users will stop receiving security…
