Garmin has been hacked

[Norm]

so garmin disabled exploring the device - same reason they don't use the cloud to avoid their systems being hijacked.

Since when? We do this all the time on the older models. I thought I did it with the 530 before but perhaps not.

Something just done broke all over the goddamn Internets today.

For reference I have a Garmin 510 and an 810 and I can connect via cable and see all the files no issue

sorry to those who can’t. You could alternately record in the strava phone app. Not asfancy or reliable but at least you can get something. Just watch out for battery drain.

I plugged my 530 into my laptop like a caveman and had no problem uploading to Strava. You guys are such noobs.

0-for-3 laptops for me. Fuck the Internets.

@Norm - I'm coming to you from the future. It's the USB cable. Try a different one.

my cable expired last year, so I switched to equipment that uses USB-C to avoid that in the future.

Yes, yes it was. Thanks a bunch for the pro tip.

Just a friendly FYI, don't assume a cable is rated for data transmission. Cables that come with/used to come with phone chargers didn't necessarily have the data pins on the USB hooked up. Ditto for the cables that come with rechargeable lights.

The latter is a big one that I've seen people struggle with in shops.

i haven't even tried to start breaking stuff yet.

Fake news. Server error but data device file system is accessible. S**t I'm late to the party, again! BTW, true story in the 2xeversting. Did it on race track in Ringwood. It may have been more than double as I lost count at some point...

Here's an idea, throw your little devices in the junk drawer, then go for a ride and tell us about your ride. Money says not much of a difference unless your Raymond Babbit 🙂

Thank you - this is probably what I am experiencing. My devices are able to charge from the adapter.

For everyone else - thanks for the suggestions, yes, I know how to manually upload files - I was able to do this with my Garmin on my school Chromebook that has a USB
