Messages that say you can vote by text or tweet are a scam--don't fall for it, experts say.  Microsoft Teams, Office 365 suffered massive outage last week.  NASA wants your craziest space theories so it can debunk them.  GM-Cruise petitions government to deploy self driving cars without brakes or a steering wheel.  Our first caller has wants to extend his network and wants to know if "mesh" networks like eero are a good investment. A caller who wants to install the latest large  Windows "feature" update asks if Microsoft is able to "remove" such updates without your consent.  A caller asks if there is a way to avoid slowness with Microsoft's cloud "OneDrive" service using Microsoft Office programs.  We show strategies how to store  your files locally on your own computer, plus give information on  how to turn off OneDrive on our website.  The OneDrive questions continue as Jim has problems with OneDrive reappearing as he tries to transfer files from his old computer to his new computer.  A listener has problems with a fan running constantly on his computer that is used for banking purposes, and he wants to know if his data could be accessible if he gets the computer repaired.
