Welcome / open talk

Microsoft never sleeps. Even before the Windows 10 Creators Update was rolled out, the company began work on the next major update to Windows 10, code-named Redstone 3. As it did with the Creators Update, Microsoft has been releasing a series of public preview builds to members of Microsoft's Insider Program.

Security practitioners weigh in on the 15 worst data security breaches in recent memory.

Data security breaches happen daily, in too many places at once to keep count. But what constitutes a huge breach versus a small one? CSO compiled a list of 15 of the biggest or most significant breaches of the 21st century.

Concerns of a 'WannaCry' repeat prompt company to again push security updates to obsolete operating systems

Microsoft today followed May's unprecedented release of security updates for expired operating systems, including Windows XP, by issuing another dozen patches for the aged OS.

Microsoft announced that, along with the typical security patch bundle that Windows users were already expecting today, it will also release additional security updates meant to protect against sophisticated nation-state attackers and against the WannaCry ransomware.

I have downloaded Choice Hotels and Hilton US. After converting csv to gpx with www.gps-data-team.com/convert.php, the address fields are blank. Only shows name and gps coordinates. Any thoughts?

Just noticed that Garmin has released nuMaps Europe EUNT 2018.10 for those few of us that have Europe lifetime maps.

Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force:

You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months.

The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you.

Greetings,

I've recently started looking on eBay for hobby tools and other useful items and thought I'd share my findings. I hope that others reply with additional items useful to us GPS/computer users.

In danger of losing your windmill?

Maybe you can share the last place your GPS took you and if you encountered any problems, or if you used it to seek out special places to go (like Thai Food, ice cream shoppes, etc.).

Anything to keep your windmill alive.

from Wikipedia:

"On Memorial Day, the flag of the United States is raised briskly to the top of the staff and then solemnly lowered to the half-staff position, where it remains only until noon. It is then raised to full-staff for the remainder of the day.

May we remember those who served and gave their lives to give us freedom and liberties in our great country.

I am looking for some additional micro USB cables. Like many people, I have a number of them, but some are not great quality. I have noticed that some are available now with either fabric or steel covering.

I would be interested in hearing from others what cables are good and who has them at a reasonable price.

Microsoft’s Build conference is one of their most important shows of the year, with a developer focused discussion that provides some guidance on the direction of Microsoft and its platforms. Over the last couple of years, the platforms have been some of the bigger talking points as well, with Microsoft diversifying across new technologies and markets to try and stay ahead of the curve.
