Google’s Data Handling Practices Force Company To Turn Over Foreigner’s Data
Recently, a court said that Google must hand over the data of a number of its non-American users that was stored overseas. The company moved to quash the order, arguing that because the data was stored abroad, it doesn’t have to comply with U.S. data requests. However, magistrate judge Laurel Beeler rejected Google’s objections.

Does anyone here still play with a game Device? (Xbox, Playstation,Ect)
Knowing the average age group on this great site, I was wondering if anyone still plays on game consoles?
I still play on my Xbox One (use to be Xbox360) Keeps my mind sharp, and gets me to play with my grown kids remotely. Most of the games are 1st person shooting games but also play GTA! I play both online and the local missions.
I still find it fun and enjoyable.
How about you?

backup and restore route files on nuvi 1450?
Simply put, I've forgotten how. Planning a road trip that requires more than ten routes (capacity of the 1450).
Want to create six(6) routes, save them to laptop, then delete from 1450 so I can create additional routes. During trip, I would again delete from 1450 and retrieve original six from laptop.

Windows 10 question (anniversary upgrade or creators edition)
I'm visiting a person, who had Windows 7 pro on their system and it ran fine for eons without any problems.
When the Windows 10 system came out, by hook or by crook, this person got upgraded to Windows 10 Pro, build 10240 and for the most part it's been running reasonably well.
