Windows 11 Point-in-Time Restore Update: A Restart Revealed the Missing Restore Points

Image
After publishing my first look at Windows 11 Point-in-Time Restore, I continued testing the feature on my own Windows 11 system. This follow-up is important because it clears up something that first looked disturbing. At first, the Point-in-Time Restore settings screen showed only one restore point: 6/30/2026 8:04 AM 10.0.26200.8737 That did not look right. My settings showed that Point-in-Time Restore was turned on, set to create restore points every 24 hours, and set to retain restore points for 72 hours. Based on that, I expected to see more than one restore point listed. Since today is July 3, I expected the list to include newer entries, especially from July 1 and July 2. So I did some digging. First, I checked the underlying Volume Shadow Copy Service information using the vssadmin command. That showed that Windows had actually created multiple shadow copies, including ones from July 1 and July 2. That was a very useful clue. It told me that the restore data appeared to exist und...

ChatGPT, Are You Still Earning the Monthly Subscription?

Image
There was a time when paying for ChatGPT Plus felt like an easy decision. It was the tool I reached for constantly: writing help, cybersecurity explanations, YouTube descriptions, blog drafts, prompts, brainstorming, image ideas, and plain-English tech guidance. But times change. Tools change. Budgets sure do not magically grow wings. And now the honest question is this: Is ChatGPT still useful enough to justify a monthly subscription for everyday creators, seniors, educators, and small YouTube producers? That is not an insult. That is a practical question. OpenAI still offers a free version of ChatGPT, and the free tier now includes limited access to GPT-5.5, though OpenAI says free users have limited GPT-5.5 access within a five-hour window. Paid plans offer more access and higher limits, with ChatGPT Go listed at $8 per month in the United States and ChatGPT Plus listed at $20 per month. For some users, that $20 may be a bargain. For others, especially retired folks, hobby cre...

AI is not making Apple “less secure,” but it is forcing Apple to patch faster

Image
There’s an important cybersecurity story making the rounds , and it is worth paying attention to. Apple is reportedly changing the way it releases some security updates because artificial intelligence is speeding up the cyber threat timeline. That does not mean Apple devices are suddenly unsafe. It means Apple appears to be recognizing a hard truth: once security flaws become known, attackers may now be able to study them, understand them, and try to exploit them faster than before. In the past, Apple often bundled many security fixes into larger scheduled updates. That made sense when attackers had to do more of the hard work manually. But AI can help speed up code analysis, vulnerability research, and even the creation of attack tools. That shortens the window between “a flaw is discovered” and “someone may try to abuse it.” So Apple is pushing some security fixes out earlier instead of waiting for the next bigger operating system update. That is not panic. That is prevention. Accord...
