I've had my laptop sleeping for 2 weeks. 00:18:32 E O'Driscoll: Yes, the solution worked fine. One million thanks. 00:19:47 Stew Bruce: My suggestion was a facetious simple solution. Not to be taken seriously unless all else fails :) 00:21:31 Ed Morawski: The escape key also works in avoiding Edge 00:21:49 Timothy: It doesn't seem to look for pictures of the same type that you like. 00:26:15 Chris Taylor: FreeFileSync Q&A 2023-06-28 - Microsoft seems hell-bent on destroying File History https://opcug.ca/qa_recordings/20230628_PowerPoint.pdf FreeFileSync download https://freefilesync.org 00:32:46 Bill: That might be scary. You might think you deleted them. 00:33:36 Alan German: @Bill - No, it means there;s nothing to do. 00:35:33 Lynda: This is going to be very useful Chris! 00:37:49 Serge-Érik: Clear explanations. Indeed, very useful. Chris. Thx. 00:38:06 Bob Herres: File Sync //Great Stuff !Thank you Chris! I recall both you and Alan use this program! I'm sold, I will try this soon! Thank you 00:39:27 Chris Taylor: @BobH - if you want to avoid stumbling around and figuring out on your own, wait for the next couple of presentations where I will take everyone through some of the more useful functions. But their documentation is pretty good too. 00:42:36 E O'Driscoll: Good tip about taping the terminals before recycling. 00:43:17 Carol Pearson: does resetting to factory remove all info 00:44:48 Chris Taylor: @Carol - as with most things computer-related "that depends". I think generally, it will, but check the documentation for your device. 00:45:57 Margery: TTE accepts at least some e-waste. 00:46:33 Timothy: Dollarama is now charging a eco fee of 3 cents for all the e-stuff it sells. 00:46:51 E O'Driscoll: Sorry to say that I have to leave the session now. I'll download the pdf. 00:47:08 E O'Driscoll: Many thanks! 00:48:40 Chris Taylor: @Carol - if you are recycling desktop or laptop computers, it is good to do a proper wipe of the hard drive using something like DBAN or File Shredder 00:49:52 Timothy: I think that the one in Bells Corner has closed. 00:49:59 Bob Herres: @Chris Thank you. I'll just "Install" FreeFileSync for now… and just "look at it ." Then I feel I'll be better able to follow along with and you, as you proceed with your next sessions. 00:50:02 Lynda: Many Ottawa libraries accept books and resell them. As long as they aren't ancient. 00:50:38 Carol Pearson: Friends of the Ottawa Public Library accepts used books. they have book sales several times a year to support the library 00:54:51 Lynda: The two libraries I go to have a permanent "for sale" section. I peruse them often and buy most of my non electronic books there as the books are fairly current. 00:56:05 Bob Herres: Re Green Bin We use "No Name Compostable Green Bin Liners." 1 bag per week.
