Must look into this. 00:31:25 Alan German: @Elizabeth - Stand by. Opportunity coming... 00:33:01 Stew Bruce: So, we're talking AR here 00:34:11 Stew Bruce: Or Vr? I can't tell the diff 00:35:29 Chris Taylor: @Stew - probably just VR. I don't think they tie into anything where you are viewing "reality" with an overlay of some sort (which would be AR) 00:37:43 Stew Bruce: Curiously,I have been reading about a few land survey apps for android of late which might tie in. 00:41:09 Chris Taylor: Windows Store info... Web version of Microsoft Store https://apps.microsoft.com/store/apps Universal Windows Apps https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Windows_Platform_apps Info on the Microsoft Store https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Store What Is the Microsoft Store and How Do I Use It on Windows 10? https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/microsoft-store-windows-10/ 00:46:33 Alan German: It looks like we will have time for more questions and shares. If you need to know or want to share, enter your thoughts into this chat window... or open your microphone at the end of the prepared presentations. 00:47:45 Alan German: OverDrive is listed on the Microsoft Store BUT there is no Get button! 00:48:50 Alan German: And, third-party sites such as CNET link to the Microsoft Store as the source for downloading OverDrive. Can't win! 00:52:06 Tom Trottier: https://www.zdnet.com/article/heres-how-you-can-still-get-a-free-windows-10-upgrade/ 00:52:40 Tom Trottier: Upgrade to Linux Mint? 00:57:24 Natalie: I have an old 8.1 computer only used for streaming shows from the Internet. It can't be upgraded to Win 10. Are there Windows issues that would be a problem, or just the anti-virus issue (I use 3rd-party software)? 00:57:30 Chris Taylor: From Tom: You can also use 0patch for many windows/apps vulnerabilities - https://0patch.com/ 00:58:29 Edward Morawski: I must have missed something. I thought MS ended support for Win 8. I have a PC with it. I can still update it? 00:59:05 Allison: Thank you, Alan, and Chris - it is me who asked about upgrading from Windows 8.1. 00:59:51 Natalie: So better not to use it? 01:00:07 Serge-Érik: How about buying a used Windows 10 laptop or computer for a fraction of the cost to replace the Windows 8. There are great deals out there sometimes. 01:01:16 Natalie: Thanks 01:03:41 Stew Bruce: It really depends on what the unsupported pc is used for.... 01:04:55 Timothy: If you are using an unsupported OS, just make sure it is not connected to the Internet. 01:06:41 Tom Trottier: https://www.binisoft.org/wfc - windows firewall control 01:07:25 Tom Trottier: now owned by Malwarebytes 01:10:33 Natalie: Is SnagIt still free? Haven't used in many years 01:11:14 Bob Herres: Are Powertoys free?? 01:11:23 Natalie: Used to be free and simple. Probably changed over the years. 01:13:21 Gail: Thanks, Alan, Chris, Lynda, Lawrence and Bob! 01:13:51 Allison: Thank you everyone. 01:13:53 Bill: Thanks everyone. Great night and good night. 01:13:57 Natalie: Thanks! 01:14:04 E O'Driscoll: Thank you very much.
