Clearly too much to ask so back to the vendor it went. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20298#post-334594 Fri, 24 Jul 2020 10:45:14 +0000 wingpig 334594@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Perhaps whilst they're at it they could remotely update every Garmin device to switch off that beeping noise they make every time they're switched on or off, or the user starts moving or stops moving, or unclips a pedal or blinks. I have only owned one Garmin device but I found the menu option to disable the beep straight away, but no-one else seems to bother. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20298#post-334580 Fri, 24 Jul 2020 10:03:06 +0000 Murun Buchstansangur 334580@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@amir confirmed</p> <p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/jul/24/smartwatch-maker-garmin-hit-by-outages-after-ransomware-attack" rel="nofollow">https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/jul/24/smartwatch-maker-garmin-hit-by-outages-after-ransomware-attack</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20298#post-334566 Thu, 23 Jul 2020 20:03:52 +0000 amir 334566@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Garmin web services have been down for about a day. <a href="https://www.zdnet.com/article/garmin-services-and-production-go-down-after-ransomware-attack/">Ransomware</a>? </p>
