Microsoft developer Jerry Nixon assured the world in 2015 that Windows 10 would be the last major operating system the company would produce. Executive Vice President Terry Myerson wrote, “Once a Windows device is upgraded to Windows 10 we will continue to keep it current for the supported lifetime of the device — at no cost.”

They lied.

Microsoft stopped providing security updates to Windows 10 one month ago, on Oct. 14, strong-arming hundreds of thousands of people to upgrade their computers and producing possibly the largest pile of e-waste from a single decision in history.

Let me paint you a picture: It’s 7:30 p.m. on a Thursday, and you are stumbling down to Brooks Dining Hall to get your first meal of the day (the semester is going great, thanks for asking). You saunter over to the pasta station to get your pasta on. You see they put out rotini, the best pasta shape, today — spectacular. This gets your hopes up for a sumptuous meal. You fill a bowl with pasta and reach for the sauce, only to find a bubbling cauldron of marinara waiting for you. You see the chunky “sauce” staring at you, beckoning like an ancient evil. No amount of garlic powder, crushed red pepper flakes or parmesan can save this. Your pasta meal is left unsatisfactory and bland, despite your best efforts.

Author note: I would like to apologize in advance to any Italians that will probably pop a blood vessel reading this. Let me paint you a picture: It’s 7:30 p.m. on a Thursday, and you are stumbling down to Brooks Dining Hall to get your first meal of the day (the semester is going great,...

The Ultimate Fighting Championship is once again under a spotlight in the world of sports betting after a suspicious amount of money was wagered on a fight that saw a startling finish at UFC Vegas 110. A betting favorite losing is nothing out of the ordinary. In fact, underdogs in the sport of mixed martial arts are more likely to deliver an upset than in just about any other sport. So what about this particular case has caused a firestorm of backlash and a federal investigation to ensue?

Confections of a Cake Lover’s last day of business in its Chestnut Street storefront is Nov. 14. In the coming months, Sarah Chapp and her award-winning craft bakery will be hitting the road in a strawberry-pink food truck. The move to a mobile business model focused on catering orders, Chapp explained in a Nov. 4 interview with The Campus, was initially driven by changes in customer traffic, with fewer people stopping in for single-item purchases while large orders for special events held strong.

If you have any knowledge of Meadville and the surrounding area, I’d recommend watching the movie, simply so you can point at the screen and go, “I’ve been there!” If you have a group of friends you can convince to go, I’d do it. It’s about an hour and 40 minutes of convoluted subplots, a semi-solid regular plot, scenes of Crawford County and weird human-pig hybrid horror. Think of watching this movie as supporting a small business.

Warning: this story may contain spoilers Last weekend, I saw the debut of “Pig Hill,” a horror movie based on the book, “Pig: A Supernatural Thriller” by Nancy Williams, ’90. I had the pleasure of seeing the movie on its second night at The Movies in Meadville, for a cool $10. I wouldn’t...

2,000 turkeys aim to meet a goal of providing Thanksgiving dinners to families in need in Washington County, according to The Observer Reporter on Nov. 8.
“We were really inspired by the Heaven’s Gate group,” said one of the turkeys. “We figured if we were going to take ourselves out, we could at least go out helping others.”

The Portland Press Herald reported on Nov. 8 that nearly 150 workers were laid off as Woodland Pulp faces a temporary shutdown. Remember this the next time you buy “no pulp.” The Idaho Statesman posed a question to its readers on Nov. 9. Under the “Big Beautiful Bill,” will Idaho subsidiz...

On Nov. 6, 2025, U.S. District Judge John McConnell denied the Trump administration’s request to provide partial payments for SNAP benefits, which would allow the government to avoid tapping into additional funds. McConnell’s verdict prevented the Trump administration’s plans to cut SNAP benefits for nearly 42 million Americans. November’s SNAP funds are expected to be around $9 million, only $5 million of which the government was required to pay, and the remaining $4 million to be paid through other means. SNAP is a government program that requires each individual state to work alongside its Electronic Benefit Transfer. If a state sets a deadline to begin the funding process, then the SNAP program will face delays.

This story was last updated at noon on Wednesday, Nov. 12. The United States government entered its longest-ever shutdown at midnight on Sept. 30, 2025. A government shutdown occurs when Congress is unable to pass appropriation bills that fund the operations of federal agencies and programs. All fed...
