• ApowerMirror - an app that lets you mirror your Android phone screen with your PC and will be used in this presentation.

• TinyCam PRO - an Android Swiss Army Knife app for controlling/monitoring all brands of security cameras including the WYZE cameras.

MeWe and Online Privacy Register at
https://forms.gle/jpczxf6bfEGuEz6y5 Registration closes at 11:30 pm (PT) on May 25
MeWe, a secure alternative to Facebook with Mike Ungerman, Central Florida Computer Society past president. No ads - no spyware - your life isn’t 4-sale.
Online Privacy by Joe Kissell, Publisher & Author, TakeControlBooks. Joe’s VTC presentation maxed out at 100 attendees with many not having an opportunity to get a ‘seat’ so we thought we would offer it again since security is always a timely topic.
Nowadays, it can be difficult to complete ordinary activities without placing your personal data online, but having your data online puts you at risk for theft, embarrassment, and all manner of trouble. Joe’s presentation covers practical advice that we need to handle common online privacy problems and how to develop a sensible online privacy strategy, customized for our needs.
