Coastie Patriot User ID: 1567170 United States 04/04/2019 02:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | MATERS IN STAT: Satnavs and even power grids could go haywire due to a ‘GPS rollover’ bug that will strike this weekend, experts warn The warning has been issued by the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) in the UK •Satnav makers TomTom and Garmin have also flagged the problem with users •It arises from the timing system on many older models 'resetting' this weekend •The NPL said the effects of the ‘GPS rollover’ were ‘truly unpredictable’ Satnavs and other devices relying on GPS technology may go haywire this weekend, scientists have warned. Motorists, sailors and pilots using GPS technology could all be affected on Saturday at 1am GMT - with the risk greatest with older models of satnav. But GPS is also used in many other applications, including the electricity grid, which could also be hit, experts warned. The warning has been issued by the National Physical Laboratory in the UK as well as satnav makers TomTom and Garmin. The problem is that the timing system on many older models is due to reset - or ‘rollover’ - this weekend. The NPL said the effects of the ‘GPS rollover’ were ‘truly unpredictable’. But it could mean the time and date - as well as the estimated time of arrival at destination - going wrong in your car’s satnav, with a software update needed to fix it. Other impacts could be on financial traders who use GPS to record trades, and ports which use GPS information for the loading of ships. daily mail less 50 [link to www.dailymail.co.uk (secure)] Coastie Patriot SIC SEMPER TYRRANIS THE SAME PEOPLE WHO SAID NO GUNS BECAUSE OF POLICE NOW WANT TO DEFUND THE POLICE!!!! Dr Thaddeus They They don't really care whether the truth gets out, because the public no longer knows what's meant by "the truth." Well, I mean, no one can tell the difference anymore between what's real and what's fake. Anyway, the point is, I can tell you all of this, right out in the open, because it doesn't matter who knows about it. They won't know whether to believe it or not.- X Files: Lost art of Forehead Sweat A gun is a tool, Marion, no better or no worse than any other tool, an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that. -SHANE- Jefferson Smith: You see, boys forget what their country means by just reading The Land of the Free in history books. Then they get to be men they forget even more. Liberty's too precious a thing to be buried in books, Miss Saunders. Men should hold it up in front of them every single day of their lives and say: I'm free to think and to speak. My ancestors couldn't, I can, and my children will. Boys ought to grow up remembering that . - MR Smith Goes To Washington- to grow up remembering th My oath to support and defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic has no expiration date!!!
