   Microsoft Office 2021 support ends this month

   ZDNET reports that Microsoft confirmed in a new support document that support for Office 2021 ends Tuesday, October 13, after which it will no longer provide technical support, software updates, bug fixes or security patches, and its online help and support pages will stop being updated. The software will keep working, but without patches for future vulnerabilities. The article lists five options: keep using it unsupported, upgrade to Office 2024, subscribe to Microsoft 365, switch to the free web version, or move to alternatives such as Google Docs, LibreOffice, Collabora Office or OnlyOffice.

   Ben's Bites: four kinds of AI users, and why personal agents aren't there yet

   In a set of reflections from a week in San Francisco, Ben's Bites sorts AI users into roughly four groups: everyday people treating it as a better Google, curious non-engineers who try Lovable or Replit but quit at the first database bug, non-engineers who can steer a coding agent, and professional developers. The author argues personal agents will be the interface of the future but aren't yet, citing three pet peeves: one thread for everything, invisible memory, and loops that never close across apps. The piece also notes briefly that Claude Code can now be modded like a video game and that Google Docs opens Markdown files directly.
