We had a quiet session today so we were busy getting two computers installed with Windows 8, and another dual booting Windows XP and Windows 8. This went really well, after installing the OS we installed some applications that we want to use during sessions.
We spent the latter ½ of the event trying to sort out Wi-Fi as one of the computers lost connection, we ended in the IT suits, using the e-machines as a Wi-Fi hotspot (bridge to library Wi-Fi) so the Lenovo could connect properly.
We really DO need a reliable solution for this.
The next Stem group event will take place on :
Date: Saturday, April 27th 2024
Time: 10:30am to 15:00
Location: Paignton Library and Information Centre
Room: 13 & IT Learning Centre
What is planned?

Run through of model car presentation
This is so that we can ensure when we do the actual presentations we are able to.

Report – Unsafe: Meta Fails to Moderate Extreme Materials
A report on the failure of Big Tech (in this case Meta) to moderate content on their platforms. This is an excellent reason for the Fediverse to defederate from Threads (owned by meta). Especially as threads is the new Meta platform designed to share content with the rest of the Fediverse.
With laws such as the UK Online Safety bill now in force, admins have a good legal basis to defederate and protect the Fediverse from harmful content. So they can perform their legal duty without the risk of being threatened by big tech (which seems to be their usual modus operandi)
