That's on a "knee"d to know basis... but I do have to "hand" it to you for this 00:34:52 E O'Driscoll: Replying to "So some programs nee..." πŸ˜„ 00:35:17 Stew Bruce: Replying to "So some programs need a Leg up to run on Arm?" Butt I did my best to understand . . . 00:37:11 E O'Driscoll: HOw many computers does Chris have anyway? 00:38:38 Tom Trottier: ARM and Apple's M series use RISC[Reduced Instruction Set Computer] cpus. X86 uses fancy long powerful instructions. 00:39:01 Chris Taylor, President OPCUG: Replying to "HOw many computers does Chris have anyway?" 3 ... well...4 - one desktop and two "main" laptops. I also have an older laptop that I have intalled Linux on and play occasionally with. Oh, and a Chromebook. So 5 😁 00:43:23 Tom Trottier: RISC cpus run fast, but you need more instructions for any task. It's a tradeoff 00:47:06 Tom Trottier: Extended Suffering Update.... 00:47:27 Timothy: Reacted to "Extended Suffering U..." with πŸ˜‚ 00:49:44 Natalie: My last cumulative update for WIN 10 with ESU (last week) took several attempts to actually update on both my PC & Laptop. Then, it was OK on both. Weird! 00:50:44 Natalie: Both have the free ESU. 00:54:01 Eldon Gaw: The print on the pole is pretty small . 00:55:28 Chris Taylor, President OPCUG: Windows on ARM https://worksonwoa.com/ https://blogs.windows.com/devices/2026/05/31/introducing-surface-laptop-ultra-made-for-world-makers/ https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-microsoft-windows-pcs-agents-rtx-spark/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXneUrL3Fe0 00:55:32 Chris Taylor, President OPCUG: ADS-B Exchange https://globe.adsbexchange.com 00:55:38 Tom Trottier: There are some special Quebec genealogy websites and books. 00:56:20 Eldon Gaw: I think Bob Heres brought info about this or a website like it to the club last year. 00:57:28 Natalie: There have been 3 very bright objects above my neighbourhood for a while. Wondering if they are drones. Do the objects have to be close? 00:57:30 Tom Trottier: What's happened to Bob Herres? 00:57:41 E O'Driscoll: I'd like to know why and what helicopters are flying over my house with greater frequency these days. 00:58:18 Chris Taylor, President OPCUG: Organic Maps https://organicmaps.app/ 00:58:24 Glen: Are GPS blockages caused by jamming? 01:00:29 Chris Taylor, President OPCUG: Accrescent https://accrescent.app/ 01:01:03 Tom Trottier: Yes, Russia and Ukraine mess up GPS to confuse incoming drones/missiles 01:02:01 Chris Taylor, President OPCUG: Dell mouse with fingerprint reader https://www.dell.com/en-ca/shop/dell-pro-5-wired-fingerprint-ess-mouse-ms526c/apd/570-bblm/pc-accessories 01:04:17 Chris Taylor, President OPCUG: Some scammers are less adept than others... https://opcug.ca/fraud-watch/ 01:05:07 E O'Driscoll: I would expect that the Dell fingerprint reader would maintain the password sign-in - so that if one's finger is not available the machine can still be opened. 01:05:56 Stew Bruce: Replying to "Are GPS blockages caused by jamming?" Yes. As Tom wrote, conflict zones are no-rules kind of areas. 01:06:16 Chris Taylor, President OPCUG: Replying to "I would expect that the Dell fingerprint reader would maintain the password sign-in - so that if one's finger is not available the machine can still be opened." Yes, you can always sign in using other means - password or PIN. 01:06:33 Timothy: Replying to "Are GPS blockages ca..." And it voids your insurance. 01:06:41 Stew Bruce: Replying to "I'd like to know why and what helicopters are flying over my house with greater frequency these days."

No because I have a full disk image backup 01:12:05 Natalie: I have an issue with Secure Boot (on but apparently not OK for automated updates) on my Acer PC. 3 of 4 certificates expire next week. Is it best to call Acer? 01:12:43 Natalie: Windows says it could be firmware or hardware, so I have no clue what the issue is. 01:14:33 Tom Trottier: For an Acer PC showing β€œSecure Boot is on, but not OK for automated updates,” the usual first step is to let Windows Update finish applying the new Secure Boot certificates and reboot at least twice; Microsoft says the 2011 certificates begin expiring in June 2026, and updated 2023 certificates are being rolled out through Windows Update and, on some devices, may also require an OEM BIOS/firmware update 01:14:41 Gail Eagen: Thank you to all presenters. 01:16:43 Tom Trottier: https://booking.biblioottawalibrary.ca/en/program?text=ottawa+pc 01:17:11 Chris Taylor, President OPCUG: Q&A-Index https://opcug.ca/qa_recordings/Q&A-Index.pdf 01:17:43 Tom Trottier: Pizza: would have liked ingredients written on boxes 01:17:49 E O'Driscoll: Thanks for tonight. 01:17:54 Natalie: Thanks! 01:17:56 Allison: Thank you.
