| By default, when you Tweet, you're broadcasting it to the world. You could make a bad joke to your 170 followers, get on a plane, and by the time you land, find out your Tweet went viral and now you're out of a job—that's literally what happened to Justine Sacco.

| Windows 10’s Creators Update includes Night Light, a “blue light filter” that makes your display use warmer colors at night to help you sleep better and reduce eyestrain. It works just like Night Shift on the iPhone and Mac, Night Mode on Android, Blue Shade on Amazon’s Fire tablets, and the f.lux application that started it all. | |

It will be rolled out slowly like the Anniversary Update, so it will be a few months before Microsoft offers it to everyone. | |
