If you want a GPS that responds to gibberish by design. I have nothing to add: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/27/business/lamborghini-hura...

IIRC the paywall permitted 10 accesses per month.

I just thought I would pass along this information to those who use Logitech Harmony remote control products for their AV equipment.

Logitech has been the industry leader in this field for many years and in April of 2021, they announced the Harmony line would be discontinued.

Title certainly fits.

I had forgotten that I listed a 3 cd set on eBay in June 2020.

The face value of the CD set was $28, I bought for $60. There were other ones going for $120 at the time, so I listed mine at $190 plus $12 shipping. Forgot all about it.

Yesterday, an email came it was sold.

PLEASE, leave the politics out of this, if you are interested then here's a way to get free at home COVID tests, if not please scroll by, thanks. (I used the USPS link with no problem, the gov link might not work yet)

I had to call the wireless provider because I made a change back in Dec that was supposed to lower my cost and it went up for 1 mo. pro-rata. i.e. I called 12/19, and was asked, do you want it effective 12/14, or 1/14. I said 1/14, but rep came back and said you'd pay $19 less if 12/14, so I said ok.

Funny how we used to cringe, oh man will have to speak with someone offshore.

Its been getting quite cold where I live - this morning its around 20F. It might have been even colder overnight.

Do any of you take the GPS out of the car to keep it warm? Does that help extend the life of the battery?

What about summer heat?

We received this email from Mahoney...

"I was sitting here thinking about how lucky I have been in receiving votes from my fellow maintainers and contributors.

Instead of just commenting on the Contributors of the year forum, I would like to propose that each person that was nominated be awarded an "honorable mention".".

We agree!

Perhaps you can post on a new book you're reading, a new hobby you're taking up or about random finds as you finally get around to cleaning out the..., or your most recent adventure?

Anything to keep your windmill alive.

Please keep comments polite.
