My wife is talking about getting another external hard drive but would like a large one. Right now, she is using a 15-inch laptop with windows 10 on it.

Can anyone recommend the best and largest External to get?

Thanks for your help.

I had not heard the term BPS until a few minutes ago. I like the idea of augmenting GPS, but ATSC 3.0/NextGen seems to be a mess right now.

Soon, you may not be able to "Google" something. It could become "Bling" something or "yahoo" something.

Lots of unanswered questions about the fallout, including what will happen to Gmail.

Apple today released iOS 18.1.1 and iPadOS 18.1.1, minor updates to the iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 operating systems that debuted earlier in September. iOS 18.1.1 and iPadOS 18.1.1 come three weeks after the launch of iOS 18.1.

I don't think the email works for me here as I never get a copy even when I check the box.

The Pilot Truck stop at 942 E Pima St, Gila Bend AZ 58337 is now a ONE9 Truck Stop. Google Earth Street view shows it as a ONE9/Shell station.

Also, I don't think there are 200 truck parking spots. Maybe 100 or less.

Thanks,
Tom

Happy Veteran's Day ...

For the more mature members here, what are you thoughts on using these for consuming media. Is there a platform you find easier to use over others?

Trying to get an 80+ relative to use a roku or android tv for more channels rather than youtube on a pc browser. Not very successful. The relative finds the UI and interaction very confusing, counter-intuitive.

I am interested in hearing from others hear what causes street names to change in your areas? The reason I ask is because I have noticed a few anomalies near me. If you look at the URL below you will see what Akron Ave in Inver Grove Heights MN 55077 has a street intersecting it that is Akron Ave E. However, the street sign shows that street as 118th St E.
