Excerpt:

"Do you know where you’ll be on April 6, 2019? If you heavily rely on GPS, you may not be able to determine where you are when that date rolls around. That’s because GPS navigation technology was originally built with a short-sighted timekeeping system that will reset next month and has the potential to cause chaos. "

So ancient ships and ancient planes may have an issue today is what I got from all that. If we went through this before with out a problem and it’s only less modern GPS devices we have to worry about....I’m not worried. I just won’t use the company Qualcomm for directions today. Because that somebitch is as ancient and the Titanic’s anchor.

Yes. Solar flares will reflect off the laminate and you won't be able to read it.
