Well this was interesting. Though the hint for GPS and MAC was a bit misleading.
Sadly, my cat decided to walk in front of the screen and I clicked the wrong answer(still can't change the answer once selected)

Was feeling really smart and expecting the LISA (Locally Integrated Software Architecture) Apple computer instead of MAC, which isn't a acronym (for an Apple computer, at least). Oh well. Had the Quiz error on #1, anyway.

No issues encountered today, though.... Was it only my perception of time in the immediate moment, or did it take unusually long for Q7 to load?

IBM error ("idiot behind machine error"),
PEBCAK (problem exists between chair and keyboard.)

Yep a lot of fun terms there.
A fun experience from my time as an admin. Get a call that a PC doesn't turn on. So start asking the common questions, is it plugged in, ect. Still isn't working, so I head over to see what's wrong. So yeah, the PC is plugged into the extender cord, but the extender cord isn't plugged in. And this happened more then once.

Ha! Didn't see that one before.

Did anyone else spend like an hour looking for a manufacturer or researcher named Myron, trying to find a particular Myron related format, going through patents mentioning Myron, before finally giving up and going "All right, it's a long shot but let's look at this ancient sculptor. Famous statue - Discobolus. OH 🤦‍♂️"
Honestly Myron worked as more of a distraction for me, since Optical was already in the hint, and it kind of very heavily implies disc.

I'm from IT and it's the first time I heard of something like that. The more you know!
