00:16:55 Chris Taylor: Microsoft PowerToys https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/releases/ 00:17:10 Tom Trottier: Irfanview can also do batch resizing 00:18:18 Tom Trottier: https://bnpositive.com/blog/how-to-use-irfanview-to-batch-process-image-files/ 00:20:01 Tom Trottier: Does freefilesync go the other way too? 00:21:22 Tom Trottier: Also works with Linux, Mac 00:26:56 Tom Trottier: Does it use both date/time & file size or hash? 00:33:31 Chris Taylor: FreeFileSync https://freefilesync.org/ FreeFileSync at OPCUG Q&A https://opcug.ca/qa_recordings/20201118_PowerPoint.pdf 00:33:37 Jocelyn Doire: When all the configuration is done, FreeFileSync can also save a command file, so all you need is to click on that command file to run the backup 00:34:48 Tom Trottier: FWIW, PsPad text editor has a one-key webpage preview. 00:35:49 Chris Taylor: Joc - yup, very slick. I am using it where the config file is in the user interface. Slows me a bit, but I like to watch things actually happening. Once I am more confident that I don't gain anything by watching it :-), I will script and schedule it. 00:35:51 Tristan: An amazing free cross platform code editor, is Visual Studio Code. It can be used for many languages via addons, including HTML. https://code.visualstudio.com/ 00:36:25 Tristan: VS Code also integrates with Git repositories, for source control. 00:36:40 Chris Taylor: WINEhq https://www.winehq.org 00:39:13 Tom Trottier: WINE is very small.... 00:42:51 Tom Trottier: I saw 256kb or so 00:43:20 Tom Trottier: Better than whining... 00:43:22 Chris Taylor: Unblocking file types in Outlook attachments https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/blocked-attachments-in-outlook-434752e1-02d3-4e90-9124-8b81e49a8519 00:44:22 Tom Trottier: Don't use Outlook! Use Pegasus Mail 😉 00:46:18 Tristan: If you are sharing code, a good option is a free GitHub account. You can also create private repositories if required. 00:48:29 Tom Trottier: Or google drive 00:50:21 Tristan: Here is an example of sharing personal code in GitHub if you are curious. I'm happy to help others get started if they wish. :) https://github.com/TrisBits/Install-WorkstationSoftware 00:50:33 Tom Trottier: WEP = Wired Equivalent Privacy --- HAH 00:51:17 Tristan: The actual code is in this folder https://github.com/TrisBits/Install-WorkstationSoftware/blob/main/src/Install-WorkstationSoftware.ps1 00:52:43 Tom Trottier: Maybe they will offer special prices with new router...…. 00:52:48 Chris Taylor: Contacting Bell 1-866-310-2355 00:53:00 Tom Trottier: 2355=BELL 00:54:19 Tom Trottier: We all need more fibre in our diet...…... 00:55:20 Tom Trottier: I want a way to report spam/fraud calls by a button on my phone.... 00:55:32 Tristan: The ISP modem/routers are often crap. Usually better to do bridge the modem to your own dedicated router. 00:55:54 Chris Taylor: CRTC crackdown on spam phone calls (Toronto Star article) https://www.thestar.com/business/2021/11/16/crtcs-crackdown-on-spam-calls-wont-have-immediate-effects-but-its-a-step-in-the-right-direction-experts-say.html TrueCaller: caller ID & block https://www.truecaller.com/ 00:56:58 Tristan: I got a few this week. Apparently my SIN number has been revoked lol. 00:57:19 Chris Taylor: Android updates https://forum.telus.com/t5/Mobility/Software-Update-Schedule/ta-p/53566 00:57:30 Martin Rice: We live in Orléans and Bell is installing fibre and there have been no offers of deals. We had to advise them that we would invite them to bring a line to the house. They haven't finished installing and maybe they will offer a deal closer to the time that they are finished. 00:57:54 Lawrence Patterson: Bell Fiber, no deal, and no marketing (had to find out it was available from a Bell Tech while he was high above installing a neighbours Fiber) and that Bell had it in place 6 months earlier. They may give you a initial new customer discount for the initial period, but no deals, and limited options when it comes to TV Receivers (they provide used units only and one was DOA, fortunately he had spares). 00:59:08 Tom Trottier: Android system updates list only covers the MAJOR providers... ie,LG, Motorola, Google, Samsung 00:59:27 Tristan: Just be careful with the Bell marketing. Only "Bell Pure Fibre" is true fibre optics right to your home. 01:00:02 Chris Taylor: Microsoft Edge security enhancments https://microsoftedge.github.io/edgevr/posts/Super-Duper-Secure-Mode/ 01:01:13 Tom Trottier: FWIW, download, 25Mbps is barely adequate for 1 4K UHD stream. 01:01:38 Tristan: Edge is getting Microsoft into hot water. They just started adding a feature to integrate loans for online purchases. https://www.techspot.com/news/92445-users-rage-against-microsoft-integrating-buy-now-pay.html 01:02:42 Chris Taylor: Microsoft Edge security enhancments https://microsoftedge.github.io/edgevr/posts/Super-Duper-Secure-Mode/ 01:04:50 Tom Trottier: MS seems to be going down the google/fb route of ads & tracking... 01:05:58 Tom Trottier: Virgin is giving deals 01:07:20 Serge-Érik: I am having Bell Fibe 150 installed this Saturday. Black Friday deal: $75/Month for 12 month (instead of $105/Month with NO contract) + $100 cash back (ACTIVATION: $60). 150 Mbps download/upload with a DEDICATED LINE. 01:11:15 Tristan: Since it is Bell Fibe the 150 package upload would be in the 10-15 mbps range. 01:13:33 William bradwin: great night guys----thanks everyone 🙂🙂 01:14:43 Tom Trottier: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zenbarrier.wearfull 01:15:14 Tom Trottier: his app will tell you when your watch is fully charged. You will also be alerted when the watch is unplugged from it's charging base before it has reached completion. You can customize the LED color, sound, and if it vibrates for the notification. You can also see the watch's current charge level on the notification dock while it is charging. To allow this app to work properly, please make sure that the app has installed on both the watch and the phone. Then run the app on the phone for the first time to activate the app on the watch. For Wear 2 devices, use a complication to keep track of your phone's battery level on your watch face. 01:16:01 faber ichelle’s iPad: Thank you. Have a nice evening 01:16:23 Tom Trottier: can set alarm for diff % full - 60% is for maximum device life. 01:17:21 Tristan: Nothing beats a good old ethernet cable for reliable work from home connection. 01:19:00 Serge-Érik: Advent calendars for December https://www.pcwelt.de/specials/xmas/xmas-vollversions-kalender https://www.computerbild.de/Download-Adventskalender-2021-22690701.html https://www.chip.de/events/adventskalender https://www.easeus.de/kampagne/easeus-adventskalender-2021.html https://sandberg.world/en-gb/calendar/Advent_2021 01:19:29 Chris Taylor: Register at  https://biblioottawalibrary.ca/en/program?text=tech+cafe 01:19:38 Chris Taylor: For Bob's session on eBooks 01:20:23 Chris Taylor: SuggestionBox@opcug.ca for questions/shares/etc.
