It means the companies providing the infrastructure for internet can't also provide services on that infrastructure. Means they have to do one thing really well. 00:45:36 louise: You have to agreed to use. 00:47:33 Tom Trottier: so long as no look-alike characters are in the URLs 00:50:57 Tom Trottier: What if you do not have a Microsoft account? What if you got no notice of any changes? 00:52:02 Alan German: @Tom If you don't have a MS account, you wouldn't get a notice of change... 00:52:36 Chris Taylor: Microsoft Services Agreement update Summary of changes https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/servicesagreement/upcoming-updates.aspx Full Microsoft Services Agreement https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/servicesagreement/default.aspx 00:53:11 Chris Taylor: Dead man's switch https://opcug.ca/Articles/2202NEWS.pdf https://www.deadmansswitch.net/ 00:54:07 Coreen: Thanks Chris. I was concerned about the email going to spam. I did hover over the address. Helpful summary too. 00:54:32 Chris Taylor: @Tom - actually it probably went out to any email address that said it was willing to accept ail from Microsoft. But a lot of what is in the services agreement applies only to those with a Microsoft Account 00:55:10 Chris Taylor: @Coreen - who knows why it was flagged as spam. It wasn't for me (on a GMail account) 00:56:02 Allison: Thanks for that summary Chris. I usually do skim it, too. 00:56:59 Tristan: For a Dead Man Switch option. The password manager bitwarden, has such a feature with a Premium Subscription ($10/year). This could be used to provide access on all your accounts upon death or emergency for a fairly good price. https://bitwarden.com/help/emergency-access/ 00:57:04 Chris Taylor: @Allison - I just loooooove (NOT!!) reading 34-page legal documents that you have to accept anyway 00:57:33 louise: Dos Forever. 00:57:45 Alan German: Or Linux! 00:57:48 Allison: @Chris - yes exactly so very happy you did it for us this time! 00:58:38 Chris Taylor: @Louise @Alan - Defintiely Linux over DOS! 😁 00:59:45 Serge-Érik: Are we still forced to use Edge only on Windows 11 at this point in time? In other words, can we install another browser without any problems? 01:00:00 Tristan: Now that hardware prices have gotten pretty good, Win 11 may be a good excuse for a new PC. 01:01:58 Tom Trottier: @chris - nice new background 01:02:20 Chris Taylor: @Tom - The images from Webb are amazing! 01:03:41 Chris Taylor: I was tickled when one of the images is the Corina Nebula. My computer's name is Corina (I name networks after galaxies and computers after stars and constellations 01:06:22 Chris Taylor: @Serge-Erik - I think they are "working on it" Paul Thurrot has talked about some of it and strides have been made at least in "Insider builds" to make it easier, but to-date, I think there are still some things that will open in Edge regardless of your default browser. Stuff like Cortana queries. 01:07:10 Chris Taylor: Review of Media Management software https://windowsreport.com/music-library-software/ MediaMonkey https://www.mediamonkey.com/ MediaMonkey Comprehensive Review https://www.softwarehow.com/mediamonkey-review/ MusicBee https://getmusicbee.com/ Windows Media Player https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/get-windows-media-player-81718e0d-cfce-25b1-aee3-94596b658287 01:07:27 Chris Taylor: iTunes https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT210384 Foobar2000 https://www.foobar2000.org/ iMusic https://imusic.aimersoft.com/ 01:08:51 Lawrence Patterson: Windows 11 - Edge, I concur with Chris's statement. I personally use Edge for Microsoft 365 and such it's the default, but for my general browsing Chrome (heck even IBM's ordering site won't work on Edge, no surprise but IBM, really.... ). 01:09:19 Alan German: Our next Q&A session will be next Wednesday, July 20th.
