Welcome / open talk

I am trying to install the Rest Area with Restroom POI on my DriveSmart 61. I downloaded and installed the POI loader from the Garmin website and the sox download.
I downloaded the POI file along with the BMP and wav files I wanted. I placed these files in a separate folder on my computer.

Hi Guys,
A new version of GE V 7.7.1.0 is just out.
No problems to install in Win10.
Regards

I haven't bought an "unpopular" electronic device in awhile to just play around with. The last was a Nokia N900.

I was thinking of getting a Surface Duo, maybe second gen, but willing to get first gen if price is really low.

Anyone have a portable device they really like, maybe not for practical use, but for fun?

I want to sell some PC parts. I heard eBay buyers can scam by claiming not received, not as described, damaged, etc. But I'm not sure if that's really true.

Is there a marketplace that has a reputation for protecting sellers?

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.

If you use one of the mentioned drives, disconnect them from Internet access.

"Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there. Hope you enjoy your day with all of your family.

Microsoft is launching a new Windows version. I thought Windows 10 would be permanent, like a subscription service, with any future updates needed. What happened?

This thread in POI Factory "Basecamp - IDP.GENERIC Virus Warning" is what prompted me to post this topic. I decided to open a new thread rather than dilute the main focus of the referenced thread which is about Garmin Base Camp.

6/8: Another Windows 10 Update Available

I just thought it would be fun if you would elaborate on how you mess with scammers whenever that call you. For example; whenever I get a call from a car warranty place, I tell them that I have a 1948 Desoto. Gets them every time. They don't know what to do. Or whenever I get a call and it shows up on my call ID, I will call them by that persons name.

Another Win 10 update just became available:

June 8, 2021—KB5003637 (OS Builds 19041.1052, 19042.1052, and 19043.1052)

It installed smoothly and didn't create any noticeable problems, so I guess I won.
