New patches became available as "Recommended" in Windows Update for Windows 7 and 8. They appear to be associated with snooping by MS similar to Windows 10 snooping. See Woody on Windows:

Is there an easy to use utility for creating my own .wav files?

This week we’re recognizing, Diesel!

Diesel’s been with us for over ten and a half year. He dutifully notifies our community of every Garmin Express for Mac Update and is one of our trusted resources for Apple related info.

Thanks for your continued contributions to the POI Factory Community!

Decisions made years ago about which operating system to roll out can affect corporate security today. Of the big three in widespread use, one can credibly be called the most secure.

Congratulations to the Philadelphia Eagles! Finally, they are Super Bowl Champions

The Patriots may have had the greatest quarterback and the greatest coach in the NFL, but that is why they play the game!

Hi

I am visiting Florida and wish to download poi for the various theme parks including The big ones(universal, Disney, space centre etc.) Could some one help? I have TomTom GPS with latest USA maps.
Thanks in advance

The Washington Auto Show is going on this week, where automakers are showing off a bevy of new models of connected vehicles that use their data processing and networking capabilities to provide enhanced convenience, efficiency, safety, and entertainment. However, some detractors see the wealth of vehicle data not as an opportunity for consumers, but as a threat to their privacy.

I was using my Yahoo Email account today (2018-02-02)and it was hacked while I was online!

Someone added a phone number from RUSSIA so they could reset my password...

SO if your email get's hacked, make sure you look to see if there's another phone number listed as a contract number and DELETE IT!

Then change the password!!

Predicts 6 more weeks of winter

With Windows Insider build 17083, Microsoft responded to criticism about transparency by adding a 'Diagnostic Data Viewer' app to the OS for beta users to try out.

Microsoft last week gave Windows 10 testers a peek at an app that shows exactly what diagnostic data the company collects from customers and transmits to its own servers.

Security company Fortinet announced that it has found dozens of malware samples that have started taking advantage of the proof-of-concept (PoC) code for the Meltdown and Spectre CPU flaws released earlier last month. The news comes at a time when chip makers and OS vendors are struggling to patch their customers’ systems due to the unforeseen issues the patches can cause.

The AMD-compatible Spectre fix for Windows 10 is now live and being distributed through Windows Update.

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.
