Subject: [fb-exchange] Cork tech club September 5th
Welcome to Saturdays addition of Corks tech club. The willing participants
are as follows:
Jackie McBrearty, Noreen Meagher, Chris egan, Ken walsh, Martha Parkinson,
Gavin allmand, Cearbhall O'Meadhra and Derry walsh.
The topic of social distancing and sneezing into the elbow came up. Noreen
feels very uncomfortable about this and it was agreed that sneezing into an
elbow and sighted guide is not a good combination.
Derry asked Jackie about the virtual reality mobility training she will soon
receive with NCBI. Jackie either believes she will be trialing something which
will benefit everyone or land her under a truck while getting directed by
someone from somewhere. Jackie explained she'll be wearing bone conducting
head phones while wearing a camera that will show a live feed to a person who
will then direct Jackie to her potential maker.
The tech talk started with:
Cearbhall talking about the update he did with borrow box. When the update was
complete it had signed him out. There was some difficulty in signing back
in.Cearbhall got signed in eventually, there was changes in relation to the
location of certain buttons like skipping forward and back but the app
functions as normal. This then followed onto an extensive talk on the long
wait for books on borrow box, Normal People by Sally Rooney was used as a prime
example. The Jury is still out on was the wait worth it.
Ken asked Chris about was there any change on using his radio app. Chris
explained last week that his radio app keeps dropping out. Chris has a dodgy
wifi connection so hopefully on Monday persons from his internet provider will
enter his home and hopefully sort everything out. Eir got mentioned but because
the note taker is not a fan the least said the easiest to deal with in court.
Chris would use mobile data allot and Martha also said she will be using mobile
data allot for the next wee while.
Jackie was delighted the Journal app was fixed. Ken had to delete the app and
reinstall it after he had updated, Once he had done this Ken was also
delighted. Ken and Jackie both agreed that the comments on the journal is
comical and always better than the actual news story.
Gavin asked about which music provider he should go for, he asked about amazon
music, apple music or spotify. everyone spoke about herself and the fact that
amazon music was €3.99 per month when using it on herself. The €9.99 per month
would enable it be used on the app and other devices.
Spotify also got discussed but Jackie wasn't impressed they only had two Garth
Brookes songs and this was disappointing as just some times you need to belt
out a rendition of Friends in low places.
Apple music was also briefly talked about but amazon music seemed to be the
popular choice. Good luck Gavin with your choice.
Martha, was asking about the outlook she uses on her phone and the fact it has
two inboxes. The mail seems to be divided between the focused mail box and the
other mail box. Cearbhall explained about this and how certain mails could be
flagged. Martha said its not bothering her as she isn't missing any important
mails, she was more curious on why was there two mailboxes.
Ken was asked during the week about changing the setting on zoom to
automatically connect to a meeting without having to double tap on internet
audio. Ken gave the steps and had a practise meeting.
the steps are as follows:
1. Open Zoom
2. open settings.
3. open meeting settings.
4. set the setting to internet audio, its the first choice in this setting.
There was a short talk on Guide Dogs and different stories on their toileting
habits. A few other things got discussed in relation to sport, the opening and
non opening of pubs and walking.
The meeting ended and All said goodbye.
