Welcome / open talk

I switched from Windows 7 to Windows 10 several months ago, without any issues.

I have also been happily using Outlook 2003 with no issues for years. Windows did an upgrade last night and Outlook opens up, but the send and receive and any attempt to export to create a backup no longer work. I get a simple message that says, Operation Failed.

We’re recognizing a couple of B’s this week, Bobkz and Bdhsfz6!

Bobkz worked hard to update his Offbeat Tourist Attractions - US File

And

Bdhsfz6 was helpful in the USB Charge-Only Cables; Garmin Compatible discussion.

This is the place to talk about things that are not GPS related.

New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has launched a new tool for users interested in knowing whether their identity was stolen and used to fraudulently support the FCC's attack on popular net neutrality rules. The NY AG's office announced earlier this month that it was investigating identity theft and comment fraud during the FCC's public comment period.

American parents have been warning teenagers about the dangers of marijuana for about 100 years. Teenagers have been ignoring them for just as long. As I write this, a couple of kids are smoking weed in the woods just yards from my office window and about a block and a half from the local high school. They started in around 9 A.M., just in time for class.

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.

Update, 11/30/2017, 11:25am PT: Asus responded to our request for comment with a link to a page containing a list of affected server and WS models. The company said it has verified the issue and plans to address it in the next BIOS update, though it didn't say when that update will arrive.

Even when autonomous vehicles are doing everything they’re supposed to, the drivers of nearby cars and trucks are still flawed, error-prone humans

In Carpenter v. United States, the U.S. Supreme Court is about to tackle its biggest case related to the Fourth Amendment and privacy of data generated by cell phones.

Comcast and other large ISPs have spent countless millions of dollars trying to kill both broadband privacy rules and net neutrality protections.

This week we’re recognizing Ajasaro!

He’s been a member of POI Factory for over 10 years and continues to build and update many POI files.
One is example is the recent update to the Lumber Liquidators file, where he add 234 locations and deleted 45.

WASHINGTON — Consider this hypothetical:

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) released its proposal to end Obama-era net neutrality protections today, the day before Thanksgiving, with plans to vote on December 14.

NY Attorney General Schneiderman estimated that hundreds of thousands of Americans’ identities were stolen and used in spam campaigns that support repealing net neutrality. My research found at least 1.3 million fake pro-repeal comments, with suspicions about many more. In fact, the sum of fake pro-repeal comments in the proceeding may number in the millions.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
