Revolution note: geo-blocked - need VPN https://www.pbs.org/video/ai-revolution-umwwlt/ 00:31:22 Jeff Dubois: I think the default VPN location in Opera is in the US. At least it would appear to be using the Android Opera app. 00:35:52 Jocelyn Doire: To track your car if stolen, don't you want to prevent the thief to detect it? 00:37:18 Bob Herres: Good Stuff TY Chris! I guess we all need to be "ready and able" to detect any types of tags that could be tracking us, or our cars. 00:37:34 Jocelyn Doire: Curious as to how the signal goes from the tracker to the owner anywhere in the world 00:38:29 Tom Trottier: If someone is using a tracker to stalk you, they will have removed the speaker from the airtag 00:38:38 Harvey Hope: I have an AirTag in my trunk ... when I go into a store (away from the car) AirTag says I left my car behind. 00:38:53 Chris Taylor, President OPCUG: Tracker Detecttion Tracker Detect https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apple.trackerdetect AirGuard - AirTag protection https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.seemoo.at_tracking_detection.release Android built-in Unknown tracker alert https://support.google.com/android/answer/13658562 00:39:21 Harvey Hope: ... I use iPhone 15 00:40:17 Tom Trottier: Cheapest place for seniors to buy airtags is Shoppers' Drug Mart on Seniors' day @ 20% off 00:41:12 Tom Trottier: The iPhone provides the GPS 00:42:00 Chris Taylor, President OPCUG: Foxclone https://foxclone.org 00:42:53 Allison: Very interesting about tracking devices and detecting them. 00:46:00 Chris Taylor, President OPCUG: For AirTags, if you are not a senior, a 4-pack at Shoppers is $130. If you are a Costco member, a 4-pack is $114. Of course, at Costco, you can't buy just one 🤣 00:47:12 Bill: What do they have against seniors? 00:47:16 Jocelyn Doire: Senior at Shoppers starts at 55 00:47:57 Timothy: Seniors get a discount on Thursdays at Shoppers on some items. 00:50:17 Tom Trottier: Is only the used data backed up? 00:54:40 Tom Trottier: re Clone - so this would be a method to move partitions around on the destination disk? 00:55:24 E O'Driscoll: Foxclone looks intuitive and easy to use. And probably better than File History. 00:57:12 E O'Driscoll: Thanks for the clarification re File History. 00:58:08 Ma Vo: has anyone looked into cable cutting and what is available in Canada? 00:58:21 Carol Pearson: i think I tried to join the member forums, still not showing up in my google groups? What do I need to do? 00:58:46 Bob Herres: Reacted to "has anyone looked in..." with ❤️ 01:01:29 Alan German (OPCUG Treasurer): @Carol I don't see you in the list of registered members for the forum. Send Chris an E-mail request and he will add you to the group. 01:01:47 Carol Pearson: ok thanks 01:02:45 Ma Vo: For the person who watched the NOVA program... have you tried looking for the PBS app? (I just did a search in the Apple Store) 01:04:42 Jocelyn Doire: After the last Windows update, after some time after rebooting, it killed my Firefox on one machine, and Chrome on another computer, I never saw that before, I was able to restart them but the history in Firefox was gone. Anybody had a similar experience? 01:04:43 Alan German (OPCUG Treasurer): @Tom None of my drives are compressed 01:10:25 E O'Driscoll: Thanks to Alan for the info on my login problem "TPM device". I'm following up on this but it is a bit intimidating. 01:10:36 Natalie: I have a PBS Passport account. It is listed as coming to their site. Not sure about general access. 01:13:29 Bill: Thanks everyone. 01:13:57 E O'Driscoll: Cable cutting? I use an antenna. I live in Kanata and I get a number of tv channels. In fact, if you have an outside antenna, many more channels may be possible but you won't get WPBS here in Ottawa. 01:14:00 Tom Trottier: The US VPN is free on Opera. 01:14:37 Ma Vo: Reacted to "Cable cutting? I use..." with 👍 01:14:43 Allison: I do not have cable and have an antenna and also get a number of channels and use a couple of streaming services. 01:18:10 Jocelyn Doire: using an antenna is free it's nice to get basic tv 01:18:11 Ed Morawski: good meet!! 01:18:11 Ma Vo: thanks 01:18:19 Natalie: Thanks!
