    Sing Tao didn't quote the origin of the news story
    (e.g. its english URL).

    It's a media organization in Toronto, Canada.

    "Sing Tao Daily, a 44-year-old Chinese-language media headquartered in Toronto
    with an office in Vancouver, announced on Monday that it will cease printing papers on Aug. 28,
    focusing its energy into developing digital media to fit customers' interests and habits"

    It's not as "distant" as you might think.

    Here's a better source IMO:
    https://www.tomshardware.com/software/windows/microsoft-extends-free-windows-10-security-updates-for-a-second-year

    Quoting the first paragraph:
    Microsoft has extended its free consumer Windows 10 Extended Security
    Updates (ESU) program by a year, pushing the cutoff for critical
    security patches to October 14th, 2027. The change came without any
    actual announcement, appearing instead in an edit to Microsoft's
    Windows 10 ESU support page. DEVICES ALREADY ENROLLED ROLL OVER TO
    THE NEW DATE AUTOMATICALLY, WITH NO ACTION REQUIRED FROM USERS. The
    program was originally set to expire on October 12th, 2026, one year
    after Windows 10 reached end of support on October 14th, 2025. With
    the extension, however, users who can't or won't move to Windows 11
    now have a second free year of patches. [Emphasis added]

    Silly me. It's Tsingtao:

    "Tsingtao is a crisp, light-bodied Chinese pale lager with a 4.7% ABV. Established in 1903 by German and British settlers, it pairs a mild,
    slightly sweet malt flavor with a clean finish. It is the perfect
    refreshing complement to spicy or flavorful dishes."

    The announcement was on MSFT's official Windows blog.
    Not a separate article but an edit to an existing.

    "Editor?s note ? June 25, 2026 ? This post has been updated to reflect
    that the Windows 10 Extended Security Updates (ESU) program for personal
    use devices is being provided for an additional year, with coverage now available through Oct. 12, 2027. This extension provides customers with
    more time to transition to a new Windows 11 PC while continuing to
    receive critical security updates."

    Thanks for ferreting out a primary source. While I trust Tom's
    Hardware, a primary source is always better than a secondary one.
