 You don't have to watch Kevin Costner's Waterworld to know that for much of the world, the future will be increasingly flooded. As climate chaos causes oceans to swallow coastlands, and as surging water displaces and devastates communities, social survival will demand that people find ways to live and work with - and on - the water.

Microsoft has been struggling to get people to use its Edge browser for years. Even though the company made Edge the default browser in Windows 10, users left in droves, most of them flocking to Google Chrome — and with good reason. The original version of Edge was underpowered, had difficult-to-use features, and offered very few extensions compared to Chrome and Firefox.
But in January 2020, Microsoft launched a new version of Edge that's based on the same technologies that drive Chrome. (The new Edge is the only one that's ever been offered in Windows 11.) The Chromium-based Edge is a much better browser, and there are compelling reasons to use it. But you might still prefer to use Chrome, Firefox, or one of the many other browsers out there.
Even if you've set up another browser to be your default in the past, it might have been changed since then. When there's a major Windows upgrade, the installation software recommends switching to Edge, and you might have inadvertently made the switch.
Whatever the reason, if Edge is your default browser in Windows 10 or 11, it's easy to switch to the browser of your choice. As I'll show you, it only takes a few minutes.
The instructions in this article assume you're using either Windows 10 version 22H2 or Windows 11 version 25H2. If you're using an

One of AI vendor DeepSeek's biggest selling points has been its ultra-low price point, but that party's about to end.
The Chinese model provider is raising API pricing for its V4 model family by notable margins, in some cases by more than 1,100%. The increases may not be that dramatic for all, though; the company is encouraging "more flexible workload scheduling," with peak rates and half-price off-peak rates.
The news was tucked into the announcement of the general availability (GA) of DeepSeek V4-Pro and upgrades to VR-Flash. The new pricing takes effect for most parts of the world on August 16.
"On paper, at peak, against the right comparator, DeepSeek's price advantage does disappear, and in places inverts," said Sanchit Vir Gogia, chief analyst at Greyhound Research. But in practice, "the schedule's own clock and cache hand most of it back to any buyer paying attention."
How Flash and Pro compare now
The new API pricing structure is as follows:
Flash is now $0.22 per million input tokens (cache miss) and $0.66 per million output tokens off-peak; and $0.44 per million input tokens (cache miss) and $1.32 per million output tokens at peak.
This is up from the flat rate of $0.14 for inputs (cache miss),

However, experts—including former Microsoft employee David Plummer—recommend taking a further step: grab the Windows 10 ISO file before Microsoft removes it from the website.
What's a Windows 10 ISO file? And why do I need to download it?
An ISO file contains all the data, files, folders, and structures of a particular program. It's usually kept on hand for archiving purposes. It's essentially the digital equivalent of what you'd get if you bought a software CD, for example, Windows 10.
You can use the Windows 10 ISO file to completely reinstall Windows 10 if problems arise on your current system. If you burn the ISO file to a bootable CD or drive, you can use it at any time to run Windows.
If you think you'll ever want to run or install Windows 10 again, it's a good idea to download the Windows 10 ISO file ASAP. We don't know how much longer it'll be made available by Microsoft.
How to download the Windows 10 ISO file
There are two ways to obtain the Windows 10 ISO: either via Microsoft's download page or via the Media Creation Tool.
