Windows 10 extended support remembers your network passwords and info??

I didn't read the fine print but help me God if this isn't true...

On my main computer at home it runs Windows 10 and I didn't feel like updating to 11 so I opted for the extended support for security updates. It required me to link an account which was a fine compromise I did that all was well no complaints...

I started setting up a second computer at work. It was completely and freshly wiped clean, and I did was as many updates as I could and then also enrolled in the Windows 10 extended updates by using my email login which I guess is tied to my Microsoft account.

NOW... I took that computer from work home, and all I did was turn it on and it automatically signed in to my home Wi-Fi.

Is this some kind of feature ftom microsoft? It remembers your Wi-Fi logins across your Microsoft account??

Why the hell but I want my home Wi-Fi login credentials saved somewhere on the cloud???

Car won't turn off

It's also happened about a year ago but magically fixed itself...

I put the car in park and push the power button and the electric and dash and everything turn off like normal but the engine stays running although it sounds like it's hesitating more than normal.

If I open the car door the engine turns off. If I turn the headlights on the engine turns off.

I finally got to check engine light and I'll try to read the codes later today but I'm wondering if anybody has ideas because I know the codes don't always tell you exactly what's going on.

Has anyone experienced this with their Miata for? Or maybe a different kind of car?

Uber GPS instructed my driver to go on the off ramp of the interstate

I needed to get a 90 mile ride home the other day. (Thankfully someone accepted and I filled up his car for 30 bucks and gave him a $20 tip on top of the $80 fee)

Anyway on the way home driving up McGinnis Ferry road in GA I was trying to get to i-85 North. For some reason I just so happened to be paying attention to his GPS and noticed it was trying to make him turn right when I normally turn left. I casually asked where he's going and he said he's following the directions to get on 85, there was some recent construction in the area so part of me thought maybe there was a new on-ramp I wasn't aware of, but nope... His map was legit trying to make us turn right onto the off ramp of i-85 North so we can then get on i-85 North.... I had to tell if it was wrong, he didn't believe me until he saw cars about to come directly at him out of the exit we almost turned down,.. from there on out I told them to ignore the directions and just listen to me.

Is the Uber GPS that bad? If we had gotten to an accident who would be liable?

Please make a 'true' sport touring windscreen

2025 Ninja 500 purchased February last year just broke 31,000 miles...

The ninja 500 is a great little versatile bike, and with some simple modifications can make a great low displacement, high MPG sport tourer. There's already options out there for side bag mounts, top case mounts, padded seats, heck I even saw some engine crash bars which looked nice..

But there are no windscreens that really offer true sport touring wind protection. I mean honestly those 18 and a half inch wind screens they have are pretty good but the angle is too low. I modified mine with some extra long bolts to bring it up another 15 degrees it definitely helps but another 15 degrees would make it perfect.

2013 Suzuki Burgman 400cc 21k miles $2400 Givi windscreen and top case vs 2008 Suzuki Boulevard C50 800cc, 10k miles, $2000 no windscreen or bags.

Here's the kicker... I've owned both before LOL. I like the Burgman for twist and go simple riding, lots of wind protection and tons of storage. A little underpowered but it does cruise okay at 70. I can change CVT belts myself so maintenance isn't an issue. The C50 has more weight and stability and accessory options but the tires are tubed and it lacks sixth gear so it will be screaming if over 75. Shaft drive is a plus.

I'll drive about 180 miles a day 60% highway.

Currently on a Ninja 400 and not going to lie it's a great little sport tourer but my butt gets sore and wind protection isn't the greatest.
