No do not update your PC (it can actually be worse depending on hardware).
Windows OS is optimized well around a particularly gen of hardware.
Win11 will not work anyway on old stuff & Win10 drivers may end up going through compatibility layers slowing stuff down.
Win10 thread scheduler, ram usage, etc, etc may also be less suited for your older PC hardware.
Unless you're installing p*rn, fake flash players, etc you're not going to run into anything of concern.
Half these security scares in hardware as well I feel are almost excuses to slow things down pushing you to upgrade & spend $$$ to solve problems you will never face.
Like anything, car, TV, console, treat your computer with care and it will continue to function well the way it was designed to with the original OS that aligns with its hardware gen.
I have tons of very hardware ranging from low-mid-high tier from 80s-2022. I stand by what I'm saying from experience with that array of hardware I have.

Agreed. Use the OS the laptop came with. At MS we always upgraded our laptops to the latest version of Windows and it often went "not well". Sucks to be the alpha testers in real life.

...for visual studio code that will automatically add comment blocks to all javascript/typescript files in a given folder?

If I understand your requirement correctly, one way is
- open the folder
- ctrl-click all the javascript/typescript files
- hit the delete key

JSDoc comments? Document This[^] apparently does a whole file at a time. Not sure whether it will do a whole folder at a time though.

I haven't received the daily newsletter yesterday or today. I'm guessing there may be some holiday, although Bob isn't dressed for any special occasions
Is there a way to browse previous newsletters?

Same here - no daily news, no weekly newsletter, no web dev newsletter...
I think the email hamsters have run out of seeds.

It is in the Ether.
I use Thunderbird for email. For 3 days, it failed to connect to my business O365 account, with a very helpful error message saying that "it failed to connect". I could get the mail through the on line portal so I knew the password hadn't changed. Realizing, after 3 tries, that doing the same thing over and over probably wouldn't work, I did nothing. After 3 days, it started working again, arising from the Ether.
The same thing will probably happen with the news, it will arise from the Ether.
For those who miss it, I will paraphrase it for you:
"Microsoft did it again!"

Well, you should probably stop sniffing[^] it, then.
(And perhaps check that Thunderbird is set to use OAuth 2.0 for your Office 365 account, since MS keep saying they're going to require it soon.)

Thanks for the tip but I just sprinkled some foo-foo dust on it and all is well.
T'bird is happy. I am semi-happy.

The hamsters weren't fed, they've gone on strike for more seed, or it's a very slow news week.
EDIT: Richard's message beat mine by a (hamster) nose...

I'm sure someone must have written a new JS framework over the weekend that can be reported on :P

Unfortunately, that only lists the weekly news, not the web dev or daily news. You have to fiddle with the querystring parameter to get to the others.

Minus the comic, you can view the contents of the Insider Newsletter via it's discussion forum[^].
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
