Tech Tips & Travel Tales from a World Cruise with Chris and Jim Guld. Remember Chris and Jim from Geeks on Tour? Perhaps you followed their adventures teaching tech from an RV, or you've learned from their popular YouTube channel and online seminars. Well, they've embarked on their most exciting chapter yet: perpetually cruising the world aboard a residential cruise ship, the Villa Vie Odyssey!
Now, they're bringing their unique blend of expertise and adventure to our APCUG Wednesday Workshop series. In their presentation, "Tech Tips and Travel Tales from the Geeks on World Tour," Chris and Jim will pull back the curtain on what it's really like living on a ship while still sharing their best technology tips.
Get ready for fascinating stories and practical tech insights, including:
Panama Canal: A breathtaking time-lapse video.
Acapulco: How to master zoom lenses and slow-motion video with your phone.
Cabo San Lucas: Navigating new places with Google Maps Live View.
Living on a Cruise Ship: Essential tech for life at sea, like using a 2nd monitor on the go.
Ocean Crossing: The ins and outs of changing time zones with your devices.
Choosing the Right Linux Distro: Simplifying the Search. With hundreds of Linux distributions available, picking the right one can feel overwhelming. This short presentation explores two helpful websites that guide users through a series of targeted questions, factoring in technical experience, hardware specs, and personal preferences, to recommend the best-fit distro. Whether you're a Linux beginner or a seasoned user seeking something new, these tools can streamline your decision-making process.
