I need to know how you found that. What could you have used to find that? amazing....

Like I said, I was in the general vacinity.

I mapped all of the coordinates very precisely using Windows Live Maps. I chose Live Maps because it?s an MS product and you can measure a distance down to 1/100th of a mile, coincidently the same precision we are given in our distances.

I end up at the Arkansas/Louisiana boarder (within yards), by using AMD's headquarters as the starting point. I felt very strongly about that starting point and just searched the vacinity. It only took about 2 minutes once I saw the picture. I'm glad I could help!

I don't feel too bad now. I thought I was way out to lunch...I was only off by 100 miles (over towards Shreveport).

I know how frustrating it was. I think this would have been impossible had they not given us the map. I used Live maps and mapped everything out down to the 1/100th of a mile and was still a ways off. Since there is no way to gaurentee you are mapping dead east or north/south (no way to verify a level line), you could try all day and not get the same results. I resorted to zooming in and out and holding a ruler up to the monitor.

So as far as I can tell there is a "gray smudge" in the spot where the X is on the map in Hardee, Mississippi...basically there is nothing there. It makes me wonder about the last line of the /roamingroaming page "Physical presence not required."

I wonder if there used to be something at this location that has also "vanished"

I've searched but can't find where you all came up with all of the directions. I have R, U, R, D, L, L from the videos but there are 8 distances. What did you use directionally for the all of the distances? The leg crossing thing should not be assumed to be the missing directionals.

Or it might just be saying that there is no actual physical presence there ie that the location was in the middle of nowhere.

It just seem so strange that your first post to the forum was the exact location on the world map of a clue that was only given minutes beforehand.

welcome aboard....

I used maps live (really needs some work MICROSOFT - so fix it)

I took my time on this and ended up right on

Hardee, Mississippi.

HARDEE

TANLI

almost there

Lets talk about the 4 names and where the LOKI's are sitting with the book, wand and watch.

Are they in the correct order?

TIME = Lorelei

WAND = Odessa

BOOK = Kara

Nothing = I...

I don't think this is the right order of the seats, and therefore answer needs to be in the right order too.

      You can't remove Safari though. Or almost any other bundled app for that matter, and pretty much all of them are useless to me (and there are is a heap of them compared to Windows). I'll much rather take Edge than Safari, at least it can be highly customized vs. Safari. I'll take a PC with ten Edges over a Mac any day though as I can't stand all the limitation and painfully frustrationg restriction that make me dislike their stuff with a burning passion, iOS included (especially iOS).

      DVD only? What kind of self-respecting optical disk backup/ripping tool doesn't support Blu-ray these days? I burned all my DVDs like 15+ years ago...

    • Glow 26.9

      By Copernic · Posted

      Glow 26.9 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.9 changelog: New Features The processor hardware detection engine has been significantly enhanced beyond traditional Intel and AMD architectures. Native support is now available for modern platforms such as Apple Silicon (M-Series) and the newly introduced NVIDIA Spark. In addition, all ARM-based processors can now be accurately distinguished between ARM32 and ARM64 architectures, providing precise hardware reporting. This marks a major milestone for Glow's hardware detection capabilities. The RAM manufacturer identification algorithm has been expanded. JEDEC vendor codes for popular brands such as Patriot, PNY, Team Group, GeIL, Lexar (Longsys), and Asgard/Gloway have been integrated into the database. This significantly reduces the likelihood of incorrect or "Unknown Manufacturer" results and improves overall hardware detection accuracy. New Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider (ISP) features have been added to the Network section. To ensure reliability, this information is retrieved from the trusted service ipwho.is. When Hiding Mode is enabled, no requests are sent and these features remain hidden, as they may expose sensitive information. The search engine used in the Installed Drivers, Installed Services, and Installed Applications sections has been enhanced. You can now perform more flexible and accurate searches using initials, partial matches, and loosely arranged character sequences. The TS Preloader loading bar has been rebuilt using our modern TS Custom Controls graphics library, developed entirely in-house. As a result of this infrastructure upgrade, the loading bar now features smooth rendering and rounded corners that align with the visual style of Windows 11. [TS Updater] A new validation algorithm has been added to check whether the target application is currently running before the update process begins. Bug Fixes Resolved a condition that could prevent TS Preloader from shutting down safely during rare application crash scenarios. Fixed a text alignment issue in the Network section affecting the display of DNS addresses. Alignment is now rendered correctly. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue that could prevent the updated application's executable "*.exe" file from being located after the update process. [TS Updater] Fixed a bug that could leave outdated "*.sha256" files in the application directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed a rare issue that could cause subfolders to be moved into the root directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue during the first launch that could cause flickering and a temporary white window appearance due to Windows Defender interactions. Changes A small improvement has been made to the internet connectivity detection algorithm. Connectivity checks are now performed in the background with minimal impact on the user interface thread. The keyboard shortcuts in the top menu have been reorganized and simplified to provide a consistent experience across all Türkaysoft applications and to avoid potential conflicts with standard Windows shortcuts. The TS Preloader splash image has been updated with a Türkiye-themed stadium design to celebrate Türkiye's qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup—its first appearance in 24 years. Congratulations, Türkiye! The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to version 26.6, delivering improved stability and a more polished visual appearance. [TS Updater] The application icon has been redesigned to provide a more modern and refined look. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error.
