Welcome / open talk

Something happened to my phone, and have been without for 3 days (imagine that--I would have laughed 5 yrs. ago saying so what, today? Very stressful around work).

"Google is closing its troubled Google Plus social network following the discovery of a software glitch this past spring that may have exposed user information of up to 500,000 customers."

Popular e-commerce website Newegg is the latest victim of cyber attacking by Magecart, according to Volexity, a cyberthreat monitoring firm. Newegg is one in a string of high profile cyber attacks making use of the card skimming code which recently compromised British Airways, Ticketmaster, and Feedify.

The Window 10 October 2018 Update (version 1809) is now available for download, but along with the new features and improvements, it appears that some users are not having a smooth upgrade experience.

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.

I was shopping tonight in Eagan MN and I noticed a car with equipment on it and it was marked #TOMTOMCAR Mapping our world for an autonomous future.

This week, by popular request, we're recognizing Sussamb!

Sussamb went above and beyond in trying to help a fellow POI Factory member get an issue resolved with Garmin. I was unfortunately ill, so needed to pass most of the conversation on our end through Jonathan, but we were both appreciative and impressed with the lengths he went to in order to be of help.

I've been wanting to get a decent waterproof day/night camera that I could set motion detect to capture the wildlife that is abundant in our area...
Decent & WaterProof are the problems... Getting both is a problem.

Finally find a decent unit HiKvisionDS-2CD2042WD-1 and got it off Ebay from a user that had 3 of one type of camera, one of these, and he wants 4 of same...

I went to TurboCC's site and it says that its closing Sept 30, 2018.
