13 participants today
The pre meeting begun with Jackie telling us about Sasha being sick this week,
we wish her all the best in her recovery. The group talked for a while.
Cearhall was unfortunately having WI fi issues, so the note taker was drafted
to take the notes today. Ken reminded the group about his new email address he
posted to the list earlier this week if anyone wants to contact him. Discussion
of fraudulent calls and text messages came up also in this pre meeting period.
The an post fraud was especially infamous. Joanne said she got a fraud from the
IMF. Apple during the week recommended that people should download the newest
update as it closes off a number of security issues that have recently emerged.
This topic was discussed for a while. CEarbhall discussed his internet problems
over this week he has not had internet since Friday. This topic was discussed
for a period of time. People asked for some strange reason if he had thick
walls and a chimney for some reason. It was suggested for him to try connecting
to zoom with mobile data by turning of his wi fi setting in his iPhone settings.
Jackie recently discovered that she could record programs from her sky+ box
even though she is not connected to the internet. She found this to be
incredible. She was advised to be careful with this. She is not sure if sky q
boxes can do this, the participants were amazed with this feature. Stuart was
surprised that the sky go app could actually connect to sky q as he was under
the impression that it would not. He will give this a look. Jackie told us
about her newest favourite program flying doctors, she really likes the theme
music. TV programs continued to be talked about for a period after this point.
Paul brought up that his phone would not work after the most recent update. He
rang a number of people during the week to help him fix this issue. The third
phone call was a success as the person he rang advised him to turn of the
Bluetooth and turn it back on. This fixed this issue. The person who fixed his
phone problem was CEarbhall. Paul said that he deserves a 10+ for his fantastic
advice.
The discussion returned to CEarbhallâs internet at this point with the
participants discussing it with him for a while. He has had a number of
discussions with Vodafone in order to try and fix it. His signal broke up for a
period at this point before he returned. A few participants mentioned their
history with poor internet and trying to get it fixed. Jackie suggested trying
to connect to the website written on his modem to try and adjust its settings.
The group hopes that he is able to get his internet sorted soon.
Discussion of e-mailâs and forwarding links and how sometimes they will break
them came up for discussion.
Chris went to charge his phone last night, but it would not connect and charge.
Pat suggested that it may be a bit of dirt that may have been blocking it. He
was advised to get someone with sight to give it a look.to clean it out. He
used a wireless charger as an alternative to charge his phone last night.
Participants were very enthusiastic with praise for wireless chargers.
The current security issues were discussed again with apple. It was advised to
update as soon as possible. To update go to general then software updates to do
this. Participants had varying experiences with the length it took to update.
Some found it to be quick while others found it to be slow. The differences in
time were down to the number of people downloading the update at the same time
according to Pat. Discussion of the apple watch and its most recent update
commenced as well. The apple watch was talked about in general.
Guide dogs have an open day next week next week.
The apple event may be on the 7th of Septemberthis year. Dominique used some
quite vulgar language here. Dominique asked who Bloomberg are. Some of the
group explained who they are. discussion of apple continued as well as iOS 16
and when it could possibly be released. Everyone told the group what their
first iPhone was. The history of voice over was discussed here as well. The
weakest link came up here as someone from it is a voice over voice. Jackie said
she had an audio book narrated by the Samantha voice over voice.

general came up and how well they follow instructions. Puppy walkers were also
talked about here.

discovered quite a number of new facts about him in the process. This topic was
discussed for a while. historical Politics were also discussed for a while
alongside this topic strangely enough.
