Welcome / open talk

They have dried up, but it used to be car cos. offered $50-$100 for test drives. So I would do them. Ever so often, a salesperson would say I can fill it out for you, you don't need to drive.

In 2008 I purchased a Kenwood-Garmin DNX8120 with most of the options. Actually the only option left out was the ability to watch live TV and this is because it was limited to analog TV and of course you could only watch when you weren't moving. Come to present time where I have purchased a DNX997XR.

I have noticed that while New York State and NYC have been shutdown because of the dangerous covid, the number of speed cameras, red light cameras and 5G antennas have increased significantly. Are camera and antenna installers immune to Covid?
Has this happened in other states and cities?

I only noticed this within the last few months.

Flash forward to this week.

The last five items I ordered online, were delivered, with factory seals broken, and one item not even in original packaging. These were purchased from the world's richest man's store.

I go to their policy, and it is within the bounds of their policy.

And of course found all kinds of old stuff. Like the cancelled check I wrote as the deposit on this house. Only $1,000?

and I found the first and only red light camera ticket I ever got, dated 11/29/02, in DC. To be honest, at the time? I never knew such things existed. Pretty sure they were 35mm cameras back then? And the pics are barely discernible.

With I-70 closed and few alternatives,,,

I just installed the latest and greatest updates for Win 10 which are not part of the monthly security patches that MS comes out with. From the history:

KB4566782 (OS Build 19041.450)

Camera manufacturer Canon appears to have become the latest high-profile organization to fall victim to a ransomware attack, which has paralyzed its email services, US website and various internal applications.

OK, they're not quite describing it as going back to the compass and sextant, and there's still room for a lot of fine tuning, but the Earth's magnetic field is key to how guidance systems are being developed to overcome the vulnerabilities of America's GPS infrastructure if ever targeted for jamming, spoofing, or outright destruction by an enemy.

I just installed the latest updates to Windows 10. Their histories are found under "Other Updates (2)"

1. 2020-7 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 10 Version 2004 for x64-based Systems (KB4568831)
2. 2020-7 Cumulative Update Preview for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8 for Windows 10 Version 2004 for x64 (KB4562899)

OK, I've been thinking about posting this for a while now. Here goes.

I grew up in Wisconsin and as a kid, watched my parents and everone else's driving habits, plus about nine years as a young driver myself. One thing that was apparent is that almost no one in WI observed school zone speed limits. At the time, that seemed normal to me as it's all I ever saw.
