These newer upload speeds should help with Zoom connectivity.

A lot of your graphics programs allow you to scan from the program directly. I have tested IrfanView and ACDSee for you with excellent results.

I backup my Favorites on a regular basis. Microsoft, in their wisdom, chose to put "Export Favorites" in a new location.


The most efficient way to backup your Edge Favorites is to export those to a HTML file, which you can import at a later date . . .

In edge, click the 3 dots at the top right of Edge, choose Favorites - Manage Favorites

On the resulting page, at the top, beside the 'Add a Folder' icon, click the 3 dots and choose 'Export Favorites'

You may want to post your HP issue to the HP forum as this is specific to HP devices..

I did come across this link that may be of help.

FileZilla has a very easy to use file/folder comparison between what is on your computer and the what is on the SLO Bytes web host.

I had sent you an e-mail a couple of months ago but never received a reply. The only e-mail SLO Bytes has for you is a onemain.com e-mail account. Is there an update? If so e-mail me and I will notify the membership person. You will then get an e-mail from Ralph with the Meeting ID and Password.

Doug:

We have missed seeing you on our SLO Bytes Zoom sessions.

If you have any issues setting up Zoom on your computer just e-mail me.

Hope to see you soon,...

General Discussion / Computer Power Backup
« on: May 11, 2020, 04:21:49 PM »
A question was sent to both Ralph and myself regarding computer power back up.

I use the APC Back-UPS 650VA, 120V + 1 USB charging port (BN650M1). I purchased 5 of these for $34.99 each on sale. Throughout the year and on Black Friday weekend; Best Buy, Office Depot/Office Max and Staples will have them for a VERY DEEP DISCOUNT.

One advantage of this APC UPS is a USB charging port for the ability to charge tablets, phones, cameras and other USB connected devices in case of a power interruption/failure.

I have found that Spectrum (Charter) Internet usually stays on in the case of a power interruption/failure. This allows me to still use my magicJack and other network and Wi-Fi connected devices.


I use 4 of the APC UPS's in the following locations:

Network Closet UPS:
Switch
Router
Cable Modem
Verizon 4G LTE Network Extender
See attached "Network Closet" picture - This is not a fancy wiring job; but very easy to troubleshoot and to work on.

Office - UPS #1:
Switch
Desktop computer (connected to the APC UPS with a USB cable and the computer using PowerShoot software)
Monitor
magicJack
NO printer or speaker system is connected to the UPS.

Office - UPS #2:
Synology NAS (connected to the APC UPS with a USB cable and the NAS using Synology software)
Swann Network Video Recorder
Monitor

Living Room UPS:
Switch
HTPC (Intel NUC)
Apple HomePod
Apple TV
NO TV is connected to UPS.
