Every week when I check Apple Podcasts to see if the new episode has reached there yet, I feel enraged that they purged the reviews multiple times. A podcast that has been consistently uploaded every week since January 2018 only shows 4 reviews because they delete ratings and reviews willy nilly.

I seem to recall Stat Counter had some quirky data in Q4 last year too. Wonder if there is thinking that Win7 is somehow safer than Windows 10 will be after end of support because the marker share is so much lower.

In 2023, they moved to security updates once a week. It would be interesting to see how that has trended in the last 2 years. It seems like it has been more frequent. It can he hard to track as the installer on the site seems to get updated nightly and package managers lag behind the auto-update.
