Register for this workshop - https://forms.gle/oHcBYCiVYZZetnXF7
 
Preserving Digital Photos with Mark Schulman. Digital photos ought to last forever. Digital photos don't fade with time and can protect against natural disasters like fire and floods. That's the theory, anyway. And yet, if you're one of the millions of people with a digital camera, the chances of your great-grandchildren ever seeing your digital photos are very slim. Find out why the odds are stacked against you and what you can do to increase the chances that your family historian 200 years from now will be able to enjoy the photos you're taking now.
 
Record 4K resolution Video with your smartphone or tablet with John Krout. Modern top-of-the-line smartphones can shoot 4K resolution videos, meaning 8.3 megapixels resolution. However, suppose your slightly older smartphone or tablet has a camera with an 8.3-megapixel resolution. In that case, this presentation will show you a free app to shoot 4K resolution videos on your Apple or Android phone. In addition, you will see a comparison of file sizes by different 4K video apps. Finally, decide for yourself which app does the best recording for your needs.

Register for this workshop - https://forms.gle/812YiZZmBb9NEED36
 
Due to the holidays, we've moved the December Linux workshop to the 4th Wednesday. We hope you have a very Happy Holiday season. As we wrap things up, we want to hear from you at the end of '22. The team is sure there are some lingering questions you might want to ask or topics you might want to clarify. Is there something you would like to see again, or do you want to share some great news about Linux? We want to hear from anyone and everyone. Whether you are new to Linux, someone giving it a try from what you've learned in these workshops, or a more experienced user that wants to share information with the group or be there to help answer questions. We are also looking for suggestions for what the Learning Linux Workshops should be in '23. If you want to get your questions or things you'd like to see on the agenda (so you are guaranteed to get an answer), please email the "Host" at jkennedy@apcug.org so the team can prepare the response or demo. See everyone at the end of the month.
 
Bill James will tell us about his first-time experience with Linux.

Hello All,
Since I use Windows Defender as my only antivirus protection, I attempted to check its settings, following the steps outlined in the linked article.
I couldn't do so using the information provided.  This may be because my PC is running Windows 11 Professional.
Here are the steps that I followed to verify the Windows Defender settings
   Open File Explorer, not a browser
   In File Explorer, type ms-settings:windowsdefender
   Click on Open Windows Security
   Click on Settings in the lower left hand corner of the screen
   Click on About
This displays the values in Windows Defender for
   Windows Security Application Version
   Windows Security Service Version
   Antimalware Client Version
   Engine Version
   Antivirus Version
   Antispyware Version

Here are my Notes for the SLO Bytes Photo Group Meeting held on 11/13/2022

TOPIC: Images of the Fall
Ralph Sutter opened the meeting with photos of pumpkins, Autumn leaves and a campfire.

Alan Raul followed showing persimmons and changing leaves along the Bob Jones Trail, Avila, and the surrounding area.

Stanford Brown proceeded with the evolution of Fall colors. We saw persimmons, a Heron, acorns and leaves turning progressively more from green to many shades of brown.

Kaye Raul offered a video of changing leaves on trees and grape vines, backed by appropriate music.

John Waller, in addition to Fall colors, also shared sharp images from the Santa Maria Air Show with low flying P38s, c17s A 35s and a C130 fire suppression aircraft. He then visited a local winery with an impressive collection of steam-powered engines. John explained how he enhanced the image of a stunt plane flying in the mist through photo manipulation in Adobe Lightroom.

In the Second Session, Alan raved about the quality of the B and H Photo Optic West Convention in Monterey that he attended. Raul created a video of his experience quickly using an iPhone 14 Pro Max and iMovie on a 2022 iPad Pro 12.9 inch. View it at "http://slolug.com/bb347652/

I am re-posting this announcement from APCUG, SLO Bytes' Parent organization

NOVEMBER 16, 2022
 
WEDNESDAY WORKSHOP
9 am PT, 10 am MT, 11 am CT, 12 pm ET
 
Learning Linux from the
Windows User's Point of View - Part 3
 
With Orv Beach, Linux Guru; Cal Esneault, Linux SIG Leader & Teacher, Cajun Clickers Computer Club; and John Kennedy, Host, Linux SIG/Help Desk & Webmaster, East-Central Ohio Technology Users Club
 
Register for this workshop here – https://forms.gle/UtwJB2hRSSN8uSbw5 
 
Join us on the 16th as we wrap up our series on Learning Linux from the Windows 10 User's Point of View. Last month, we talked about the software that comes by default with your Linux distro. This month, Cal will speak to us about getting additional programs/apps. He will also review the new ways programs are getting packaged.
 
Orv will look deeper into the Linux Control Panel or Settings Menu to see what other settings Linux users might have that Windows users don't. With Linux, different distros might have more or fewer settings from which to choose. He will be sharing the KDE settings menu, which probably has the most, for those that like to customize.
 
We sometimes hear that people moving to Linux have problems with their printers, so John will talk briefly about that. If there's time, our last presentation will be on Ventoy, another option for running a live distro off a USB thumb drive. However, this option allows you to have multiple distros on just one drive.
 
We hope that during our Open Mic/Q&A, we get to hear from some current Windows 10 users who have given Linux a try either from a live distro or installed it on an older piece of hardware.

Cyber-safety in the digital age

Bob Gostischa, Enthusiastic IT Security Expert
You always learn something new & have a few laughs.
Cyber-safety in the digital age. How we live, work, and play has changed dramatically throughout the past half-century. The 9-5 economics of years past have been replaced with globally integrated 24/7 service offerings. Consumers in the digital age have access to a host of services and products that could only have been considered available in the realm of science fiction. This presentation points out the dangers and offers suggestions that will aid in keeping you secure in this digital era. Using the right programs and apps can help keep you safe and secure and shrink your digital footprint. Using free programs and apps whenever possible to accomplish this goal is a bonus, and this presentation includes information on many recommended free programs.
 
It is almost time for Black Friday!
Thinking About Building or Buying a New Computer?

Roger Fujii, Treasurer, Potomac Area Technology and Computer Society
Are you thinking about building or buying a new computer? Given the announcements of new CPUs and graphics cards, the introduction of DDR5, and the GPU pricing crash, now is an excellent time to consider building a new computer. Even if you don’t think you want to build it yourself, knowing what the parts are will help evaluate if the price is good for what you are getting. This workshop will cover the components needed and some pitfalls to be aware of.
 
APCUG Annual Meeting
Starts at 2:30 pm ET
 
APCUG Annual Meeting. State of the Union, State of the State, State of Your City, join us for a State of APCUG meeting. President Ray Baxter will talk about what is happening with APCUG, and he will also give an almost year-end treasurer’s report; Advisors will speak about their Regions, Judy will present information about various committees, Election Committee members will present a slate of proposed officers (everyone agreed to run again) plus there will be time for nominations from the attendees. To nominate someone, you need their permission. Then we will open up the meeting for our usual Q&A.
 
Here are the descriptions for Directors and Advisors.
Directors are responsible for running APCUG’s daily business. Each January, they elect the required President, Secretary, and Treasurer. An additional officer is the Vice President.
 
Advisors are responsible for interfacing with the member groups in their assigned regions. They are the information conduit between their groups and APCUG. Advisors submit a monthly report on their group interaction and contribute a quarterly article for Reports on their group’s meetings, etc. They elect a Chair, Vice Chair, and Secretary in early January.
 
Directors and Advisors have a combined monthly meeting via Zoom.

General Discussion / Photo Group Report for 10/09/2022
« on: October 09, 2022, 06:55:26 PM »
Hello All,
Here is my report for the SLO Bytes Photo Group Meeting of 10/09/2022

TOPIC: Look Up; Share images consistent with the theme

Ralph Sutter opened the meeting with rooftops, structures and other objects as seen from below.

Alan Raul showed updated images of the Shell Beach construction project of the new seawall, staircase and sidewalk along the oceanfront. He showed "before and after" images using Adobe Photoshop 2022 and the image perspective tool.

Stanford Brown first asked for ideas as to how to improve an image in which light from a large window blew out the facial features of the subject standing beside it. He later offered a bird nest, seascapes and hot rods seen at Cider Creek Bakery, Paso Robles

Kaye Raul
delivered a slide show of her recent camping trip to Yosemite Valley, complete with flowing rivers, towering trees and iconic rocks.

John Waller took his camera to San Luis Regional Airport, capturing planes in flight. To this he added rain clouds, a missile launch and a full moon.

Our final meeting of 2022 will take place on December 11th beginning at 2:00pm

Online Safety is NOT only for Seniors - Uwe Dotzauer, Network Engineer and Computer Consultant, will talk about "Online Safety is NOT only for Seniors!" How to conquer the "BIG CON"-- how to identify the scam, what we can do about it, how to secure our computer, and what to do when it happens.
 
Encryption Software - Mark Schulman, Member, Central Florida Computer Society. Losing a laptop or flash drive might mean you're out of money, but it doesn't have to mean that your private data leaks into the world.

Learning Linux
From the Windows User's Point of View - Part 2: The Install
Orv Beach, Linux Guru; Cal Esneault, Linux SIG Leader & Teacher, Cajun Clickers Computer Club; and Dave Melton, Member, SCV Computer Club
 
Register for this workshop here -- https://forms.gle/NnYJEXm8mJmASASS9
 
Hopefully, you were able to create a live USB drive, presented in last month's workshop, to test out Linux Mint without making any changes to your computer. This month we are going to focus on the actual installation on a computer. Orv will begin with a hardware improvement that will bring new life to your laptop or desktop (SSD). Then Cal will take us through an actual default install of Linux Mint-Cinnamon on a spare computer from start to finish. He will also talk about some of the necessary tasks that need to be done when first setting up a Linux computer. Linux distros come with just about every piece of software you need, but many Windows users are used to the paid MS Office productivity suite. Orv will return to tell you, "All you need is LOVE" (LibreOffice Very Effective), and how it solves all your production needs. Wrapping things up, Dave will go over many of the other default programs that come with Linux and explain what tasks and file types they will help you complete.
