“Cut the Cord, Things To Consider Before Firing Your Cable Company.”
There are many reasons to cut the cord. Most do so to save money. Others do it to have better choices and just to be able to fire their cable company. There are many choices of products and equipment, as well as services that are now available to let us change the way we have done things in the past. Hewie Poplock talked about over the air and over the Internet services, including the many ways to fulfill your wants and needs as to TV viewing. He included information about Broadband and even Internet home phones.

Intro to Facebook Presentation – Facebook, How to Get Started Safely
March Program for the Central Florida Computer Society – Sunday, March 16, 2014 at 2:00 PM
Many people do not use Facebook for several reasons. Many are extremely concerned about their privacy and fearful of sharing information with the wrong people. Most of these people are not aware of how they can enjoy Facebook and limit their vulnerabilities and exposure. Hewie Poplock will present a program “Facebook, How to Get Started Safely” to CFCS on March 16.
He will show the many favorable uses of Facebook, and how you can connect easily to many old & new friends and places. He will also show how to use Facebook’s settings to protect your information, while enjoying the service. He will show you how you can be a “lurker” or be active and yet be safe.
There are more than 1.23 billion of Facebook active users. Of those 250 million play Facebook games. Over last 3 years, the number who are 55+ has exploded with +80.4% growth. As of Jan 2014, 32% of online seniors over 65 are using social networking sites and that number is about 15.6% of the Facebook users.
This presentation is aimed at those not using Facebook. However, those who do use it will gain some insights and will update their settings knowledge, as well as be helpful to those around them who have been hesitant to join Facebook.
The presentation will be at the General Meeting of The Central Florida Computer Society on Sunday March 16, 2014.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

• Emojis
• SwiftKey
• Cloud Clipboard
• Snip & Sketch
• Renaming StartTile
Folders
• Accessibility
• Windows Security
29. Another feature that mobile users will find handy. The April 2018 Update introduced Timeline on PCs,
making it easier to gain access to what you were working on. Now, this feature is available on your
phone, meaning you can scroll back in time to pick up where you left off while working on files and
browsing websites.
It is also possible to share or remove activities from a specific day or hour.
34. The latest version of Edge focuses on improving reading, but also pays due
attention to the look and feel of the user interface. Microsoft also offers a bit
more customization — reading PDFs in the browser is now a more pleasant
experience, and there are several changes under the hood to improve the
technology.
For starters, Edge now comes with Microsoft Learning Tools baked in, and
the browser also offers support for themes and an offline dictionary that
serves up definitions of highlighted words.
You also get access to Grammar Tools that separate words into syllables
and highlights parts of speech to make it easier to understand. It is also
possible to have a word read aloud if you want to hear the correct
pronunciation or learn its meaning.

44. You’ll also find a new version of the learning tools for
Microsoft Edge available for Books and Reading View,
which now lets you choose from a variety of new page
themes and add wider spacing to improve reading fluency,
in the “Text options” tab.
To make it easier to identify the parts of speech, in the
“Grammar tools” tab, you can now change the color in
which the parts of speech should be highlighted as well as
enable a label right over it.
Also, the new line focus option, in the “Reading
preferences” tab, helps you to improve focus while
reading an article by highlighting sets of one, three, or five
lines.
55. DirectX Raytracing is now fully supported on the platform, meaning users
no longer have to enable developer mode to see it in action. Raytracing is a
new rendering technique that not only improves image quality but has all
the potential to become the standard method for generating 3D worlds.
56. The Game Bar is now a dedicated app, making it easier to use
while also bringing a new look and new audio controls so you can
do more with your games with fewer interruptions.
61. You can now stream audio to both the headset and the computer
speakers simultaneously.
In the Windows Mixed Reality experience, when using an
immersive application pressing the Windows key or using the
bloom gestures, Quick Actions allow users to easily Go Home,
view the time, or launch Mixed Reality Capture tools (Photo,
Video, and more).
Also, you will find a new Flashlight feature, which adds the ability
to peer into the physical world without the need to remove your
headset and prevent fumbles.
76. Snip & Sketch replaces the Screen Sketch feature
that was previously part of Windows InkWorkspace.
It makes a simple job of snipping pieces of the screen
and creating a screenshot. It will also replaces the
SnippingTool.
87. Power usage —This column will provide an instantaneous
view of apps and services using power.
Power usage trend —This column provides a power usage
trend over two minutes for running apps and services.This
column will be blank when you start an app but will
populate based on the power usage every two minutes.
96. In the “Network & Internet” section, the Data Usage page
is getting updated to include data usage stats for mobile
data using a SIM card while roaming.
