Hello Folks, Stop giving out about our poor weather for July.
We could all be microwaved if living in Italy, Greece or Spain.
This is probably the best country to live in with climate warming.
I enjoyed Wimbledon, as I have been monitoring the progress of Carlos
Alcaraz for the past year or so.
It was a great men's single title match, and herald in a new generation of
young tennis players.
There were 10 participants for this Monday's tech club.
Albert complained about not being able to update his pet favourite gadget,
his Rivo keyboard.
One cannot update it as it can only be updated by the Rivo people
themselves, there is no facility to do this online.
Site Village is on today and tomorrow in Bermingham.
There was an E- mail sent out by Sight and Sound with a link to view
proceedings virtually.
Bert has promised to post that link to the list sometime today.
Privacy issues surfaced in conversations today. Some new Alexa echo devices,
have a camera.
Using Show to Tell , one can get information on packages, products and so
on, by holding them in front of the screen, where they will be identified.
This camera can be put on and off by a button on the Alexa device. It's
important to turn off the camera when not in use, as it could be viewing
and tracking your movements when you don't want it to do.
The new echo devices have a range of screens from 6 inches to around 10
inches.
There was much discussion on all things concerning AI.Artificial
intelligence is springing up everywhere, and causing a lot of Privacy
worries. There is a new app called Perplexity, where one can ask any
question to an Robot..
Most countries are considering laws to keep AI, in check, and this is to be
welcomed.
A great discussion on all things do to with Heating.
Ger is the man here with a wealth of information on Heat pumps, oil and Gas
usage and all forms of house and attic insulation.
It was a very good discussion and a great deal of new information was
gleamed by everybody.
Michael wanted to know more about reading his smart meter through the
Electric Ireland app.
One cannot read those smart meters indoors anymore. All the information on
the Electric Ireland is on their app, where one can read a set of figures or
graphs, showing the various usage of electricity by the Dryer, washing
machine and Dishwasher
The best times to use your household machines and so on.
This was a great meeting.
That's all Folks
Paul
