    EZPass scam - don't fall for this one

    "Across a 20-day period, Silent Push analysis alleged that activity linked to Lighthouse had targeted people in at least 121 countries and that 200,000 scam websites can be linked back to the network. It’s likely that the number of scam messages cybercriminals are sending each day is...

    Music for the day

    For me, this kind of sums it up: "The people might know but the people don't care". So, make the best of things while you're still alive because when you're gone, nobody will really care. Yeah, there will be a few close friends and loved ones, but not "the people". I have seen too many examples...

    Music for the day

    I got that album right after it was released and it's still one of my favorites. Gave the original vinyl (along with a bunch of others) to my son in law a number of years ago and he was over the moon. But I get my my music, lyrics and insights here, instead of from Google's servers. ;)

    Seafood in the Pines

    IIRC, they re-created that skit in the Three Stooges TV bio-pic from 25 years ago (which I thought was pretty good).

    So, have you tried it since I made the fix?

    Garmin discontinues the Oregon series and some others

    I have never wished for that. Did you ever try the voice recognition features on their automotive GPS'es? That was always horrible in my experience. Good voice recognition just sends a clip of your voice to big servers where it is processed and sent back to the device. Garmin has always used...

    Garmin discontinues the Oregon series and some others

    Somehow I missed the introduction of the GPSMap H1 in September. Based on a quick look, I'd say this is the model that would interest me *if* I was in the market for another Garmin device and *if* I wanted to spend $700. With the inReach satellite communication option, that makes it a $1,000...

    Artificial Intelligence

    Those layoffs are just the tip of a very big iceberg at Amazon. I suppose you could compare this to how the automobile disrupted everything in the horse-based economy. That affected not only the companies that made buggies but also buggy whip makers, blacksmiths, etc. But that seems like the...

    Artificial Intelligence

    From what I understand, his vision is that humanoid robots will be able to do all the jobs that other types of robots can't do, completely replacing people in automated factories. The robots would maintain the robots. If one breaks, another robot comes along to replace it while another hauls it...

    Double your fun with map sync!

    I changed it so that it should no longer scroll to the top when you choose a map (I had to clear my cache for the change to take place). I think this does what you want and makes more sense. Only thing is, I wonder why I intentionally had it scroll before? Might have had to do with how it works...

    Double your fun with map sync!

    Yeah, the map menu code in the sync app really needs to be updated to be like the main app. Have been putting it off because the code has changed to the point where it isn't as simple as just dropping it into the sync app. Also more complicated because there are two separate map menus. I will be...

    Artificial Intelligence

    This is the Musk quote that got the headlines “If we build this robot army, do I have at least a strong influence over this robot army? Not control, but a strong influence … I don't feel comfortable building that robot army unless I have a strong influence.” But I think this one is arguably...
