QR codes, can also be used in cards and other printed fun things... they are free 00:23:28 Tom Trottier: Ads? Ads? What ads? 00:24:09 Tom Trottier: You might also get a cheaper price.... 00:25:15 Chris Taylor, President, OPCUG: Sharing files (part 1) https://www.computerworld.com/article/2076109/the-best-ways-to-share-files-between-windows-pcs.html 00:27:42 Tom Trottier: For Nearby, do you need to be on same network, or does Bluetooth work too? 00:29:25 KWG: What is the proximity distance? 00:30:39 Jeff Dubois: will it work between windows and android? Or just windows to windows... 00:33:38 Tom Trottier: The cloud also has a copy - and usually not encrypted. 00:34:58 Tom Trottier: Peer to peer file sync - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_synchronization_software 00:37:32 Jeff Dubois: I used to use Dropbox all the time but on the free account they now limit you to three active devices. Other cloud storage options include pCloud, MegaSync and Box. Those latter have active sync and do not limit the number of devices on their free accounts. 00:39:02 Carol Pearson: If I have multiple gmails do I have multiple space in the drive. If you sync- it reduces storage on all? 00:43:09 E O'Driscoll: When I used OneDrive at work, we shared documents and we could see the shared document being edited by others1 Took some getting used to. 00:43:58 Chris Taylor, President, OPCUG: @Eliz - yes, it works that way with Google Docs as well. Kind of cool 00:44:48 Alan German (OPCUG Treasurer): Jeff Dubois 00:47:13 Alan German (OPCUG Treasurer): Jeff will provide a set of slides that will be posted to the website but, as he noted, the audio recording that we post will not include his discussion of IPTV. 00:49:05 Tom Trottier: Binging! 00:56:20 Chris Taylor, President, OPCUG: "smart" updaters can be pretty dumb. I know of one TV that uses a web browser that is interpreted as an out-of-date browser and there is no way to update it. Some websites cannot be accessed on that TV. 00:57:46 Bob Herres: I'm getting wet ! πŸ™‚ 01:06:53 Tom Trottier: Watching lots of IP streams.... 01:07:09 Tom Trottier: 8 01:07:16 Tom Trottier: 8 01:09:59 Alan German (OPCUG Treasurer): Our next Q&A session will commence at 7:30 pm on Wednesday, April 24th. Questions on any computer-related issues are welcome, as are mini-presentations of your favourite computer program or on an interesting topic that you would like to share with the group. Similarly, if you have a question about anything that would fit into one of our "Computer Basics" or "Smartphone Basics" segments send that along too. No question is too basic. If you don't know the answer, it is practically certain that there are others who also don't know. But, if nobody asks the question, we won't know to provide the answer...
