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. Learn how to use encryption software to protect your private data on a PC, laptop, external hard drive, or USB flash drive.

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.

https://forms.gle/fmWH44qXFhKv9nAj7 Home Automation Security - Bill James' presentation covers home networks and automation, hackers, privacy, Smart TVs, and security for your router and home automation devices.
Name that Tune! – Music Trivia and Scam Education - Join Miles McNeeley from WISE & Healthy Aging for music, trivia, and learning. We will be listening to clips of your favorite songs from the 50s and 60s and guessing each song's title and artist/band. Test your music knowledge, or just listen in for fun! We'll spend a few moments discussing common scams after each song to increase our safety and awareness.
