I used to use it. I gave up when they started to annoy me by implying I was using it for commercial purposes and made me jump through hoops to get it working again as a free service 00:19:35 Jeff Dubois: Bob Herres did a talk about Yep not that long ago. It's not a phone replacement but it is a teleconferencing alternative. He wasn't in the meeting last week so couldn't comment but he might like to weigh in. 00:20:15 Stew Bruce: Microsoft is advising us to use Teams. I looked at it and became lost in the interface. 00:20:55 Chris Taylor, President OPCUG: Replying to "Microsoft is advisin..." I actually find Team a little less confusing than Zoom 00:20:59 Patricia Eakins: what does end-to-end encryption mean wrt WhatsApp given it is owned (I believe) my Meta/Facebook 00:21:13 Jocelyn Doire: I prefer Zoom over Teams, better I/f IMHO. 00:21:47 Chris Taylor, President OPCUG: Replying to "what does end-to-end..." it means data is encrypted between the computers at both ends of the connection. Nobody, even WhatsApp can't see the data 00:22:01 Ma Vo: Replying to "Has anyone used Team..." ty @Chris Taylor, President OPCUG, would I be better off with Quick Assist (to help someone setup/ajust their computer)? 00:22:02 Stew Bruce: Replying to "Microsoft is advisin..." >grin< I've only had one look at it, so maybe in time. If I use it..... 00:22:49 Chris Taylor, President OPCUG: Replying to "Has anyone used Team..." @Ma Vo I find Quick Assist VERY easy to use as long as both ends are Windows 00:23:01 Harvey Hope: Replying to "Has anyone used Team..." Too expensive 00:23:03 Stew Bruce: Alan: looks like you in a toque 00:23:20 Carol Pearson: do you set up the meeting to get the link nd then start the meeting? Can you schedule it for later? Jitsi 00:25:01 Patricia Eakins: I assume Windows 10 will continue to work on our existing computer, but we won't be able to get support? 00:25:04 Chris Taylor, President OPCUG: Differences between Windows 10 & 11 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5gSQhfHvqI 00:25:07 Jeff Dubois: Replying to "Microsoft is advisin..." If you want to set up a Jitsi meet anytime Stew just holler. 00:26:16 Ma Vo: Replying to "I assume Windows 10 ..." that is correct 00:26:23 Timothy: Replying to "I assume Windows 10 ..." That is correct. 00:27:06 France Picard Ottawa: Replying to "I assume Windows 10 ..." But supposedly if you can't upgrade, you'll be able to buy another year of support. Can't remember how much but I'll have to do that for mom's pc 00:28:14 Jeff Dubois: Replying to "Alan: looks like yo..."

It is to help self driving tech improve recognition. 00:42:59 Tom Trottier: https://www.pcworld.com/article/2633357/beware-this-sneaky-new-captcha-that-might-trick-you-into-malware.html 00:43:49 Tom Trottier: AIs are becoming more human..... 00:44:24 Jeff Dubois: Okay Alan, if you inadvertently ran that robot script, ¿pǝʇɔǝǝɟuᴉ ǝɹǝʍ noʎ ʍouʞ noʎ plnoʍ ʍoH :-) 00:45:38 Carol Pearson: what would be a more current source of info about ai 00:45:48 Chris Taylor, President OPCUG: When AI cheats https://time.com/7259395/ai-chess-cheating-palisade-research/ Get the latest AI news: The Rundown AI https://www.therundown.ai ChatGPT Book Recommendations Killer ChatGPT Prompts https://www.amazon.ca/Killer-ChatGPT-Prompts-Harness-Success/dp/1394225253/ ChatGPT For Dummies https://www.amazon.ca/ChatGPT-Dummies-Pam-Baker/dp/1394204639/ 00:48:52 Harvey Hope: I primarily use AI to help construct script files 00:49:13 Chris Taylor, President OPCUG: https://www.perplexity.ai/search/how-do-i-effectively-use-chatg-Du7.XhVlR865Q3AcZHL0wA 00:50:20 Tom Trottier: A strong laser will cut your grass to a constant level inside of a minute. 00:50:42 Anna: Thank you kindly! 00:51:12 Stew Bruce: I believe a goat will take care of your lawn nicely. 00:51:26 Chris Taylor, President OPCUG: Replying to "A strong laser will ..."

Alan & I have been beating V5 to death over the last couple weeks. It is an improvement indeed. 01:03:05 Steve Parker: Replying to "PatchMyPC has a new ..." would be nice if they could combine it with Vulndetect 01:03:54 Stew Bruce: Replying to "PatchMyPC has a new ..." That might require a corporate merger of some sort. :) 01:05:42 Steve Parker: Replying to "PatchMyPC has a new ..." They could Micro$oft it. Steal it first, then buy the company ;-) 01:06:23 Stew Bruce: Replying to "PatchMyPC has a new ..." Call Trump to set it up 01:07:28 Steve Parker: Replying to "PatchMyPC has a new ..."

I've not encountered issues 01:16:15 Stew Bruce: Replying to "My WiFi does not wor..." You can look for the model number of your modem/router on the device an then google search it. You can then find out if it is still supported by the manufacturer or not. 01:20:04 Alice.Nakanishi: How large is the file when trying to attach it in an Outlook e-mail? Maybe Outlook is preventing attaching very large files 01:20:41 Tom Trottier: https://biblioottawalibrary.ca/en/program?text=pc+users 01:20:53 Chris Taylor, President OPCUG: https://biblioottawalibrary.ca/en/program?text=pc+users 01:21:10 Chris Taylor, President OPCUG: https://opcug.ca/join-or-renew/ 01:21:19 Ma Vo: Replying to "How large is the fil..." a Word document with a moderate size picture and one-two lines of text... maybe a little over 1MB 01:21:42 Chris Taylor, President OPCUG: SuggestionBox@opcug.ca 01:22:03 Ed Morawski: good presentations! 01:22:04 Patricia Eakins: are the library sessions available afterwards by a video? 01:22:08 Carol Pearson: Thank you 01:22:12 Chris Taylor, President OPCUG: Replying to "are the library sess..."
