I am looking for  someone or a place that can help with a circuit board repair for a duel fuel range that KitchenAid has decided to discontinue parts on. :( Any help much appreciated. They told me to look for someone to do an actual board repair.

D?d?

Hey friends and neighbors,

A few years ago, my old Macbook died.  Some nice folks were able to "rescue
the data", and put it on my new Macbook.  They created a new user to do
this, and duplicate files of all my data and apps.  Then my old new Macbook
died.  Some nice folks were able to "rescue the data", and put it on my new
new Macbook.  My new new Macbook has three users on it, each with the old
old data 3 times, and the old data 2 times and the new new data once.  This
sucks.  Almost all my memory is used up.

I tried to download a duplicate file deleter app, but I couldn't because I
don't have enough memory to download the one app, and I don't have a recent
enough version of Mac Os to download the other.

What can I do?  I have kerzillions of files.  I tried going through the
list one by one using a "Smart Folder", but I have over 12,000 just jpgs.
I have an external hard drive... I wonder if that could be put to good use
in this endeavor.

Oh good techies of the valley... what do you know about this? <3

Well that sounds like a nightmare. How big is your external drive? That 
certainly sounds like a way to proceed. I think I?d try it in batches.
And I did a bit of google search and didn?t find an answer but maybe 
someone here knows - I think you have to get the files out of their 
separate user accounts to be able to manage them together.

Another thought - don?t try to manage the duplication - just have the 
files on an external drive and when you need an old file go and get it.

My two cents.

Hi Elyssa:
I highly recommend starting the process by making a time machine backup of your newest MacBook using an external drive. Once this is done, I would make a bootable copy of your MacBook drive using software such as Super Duper or Carbon Copy Cloner. Once the bootable drive has been created, you might consider booting from this drive to verify that works. Once this bootable drive has been verified, shut down your mac and disconnect any attached drives. After the attached drives have been disconnected, you can power back on the machine and start deleting user's and contents to free up space with the knowledge that you have two backups just in case something goes sideways. Regarding data backups, remember the mantra, two is one and one is none.
After you have freed up space on your MacBook, use another external drive for active time machine backups of your cleaned up Mac. Depending on the importance of the data, it may be worth considering keeping an encrypted bootable backup drive in another location.
I hope this helps a bit. Please feel free to reach out off-list if you would like clarification regarding any of the above.

Cordially:
Hai Nguyen Ly

Hi Elyssa,

Jon Ogrydziak and Zach Fried (cc'd) both did excellent work for my firm on deduping a year and ~4 years ago respectively. I used Jon for his network and Microsoft 365 expertise as well.

Deduping seems like it would be a simple software solution, but it's usually a lot more intricate than that, demanding professional skill.

I am dealing with a similar case now, and a warning - Time machine 
requires a good bit of working space
SO if you are having space issues, time machine will not work even 
incrementally.

As 2nd drive is the best solution. There are various 'diff' versions 
that can do bulk and sub-directory comparisons.
Well worth having.

Also, I have found switching from iPhoto to Photo appears to leave a 
large number of complex working files,
sorting that out now.

In general, images and worse videos is what fills up a disk, it takes 
1000's of documents to take the same place as one video.
Also, if the older machine backup includes system images and/or 
downloaded installers (usually many copies)
those can be deleted - they are of no use.

Advanced technical help is often very warned, think about it - few 
people have a car without regular use of a shop.
Computers are equally or more complex.

Good luck

Rich

Message-ID: <CAB22ZO_N7nC1k+uWSz_EbqRYU3YUPj_v1MD3VeNhTruMcn27Bg@mail.gmail.com>

Our next meeting of our local Wordpress meetup group is scheduled for
Wednesday, January 15 @ 7 PM at the inResonance building at 32 Industrial
Drive East in the Northampton Business Park. The meeting will last up to 2
hours.

The featured topic will be making Wordpress accessible. Jared will discuss
what he learned about Wordpress's accessibility issues. Are themes and
plugins for Wordpress accessible to the blind, visually impaired or hearing
impaired? In Wordpress itself fully accessible? What if anything is being
done to make this platform for the web more accessible? How many people
could you be losing if your site is not accessible?

We always leave time for newbies and pros to discuss what they are working
on, and to use group think to figure out solutions to issues people are
having with the platform.

Directions, signing up and details are here:

https://www.meetup.com/Northampton-WordPress-Meetup/events/267288571/

We're going to try allowing people to attend remotely with a Google Hangout:

Hi Mark:
I'd like to recommend the use of Zoom rather than Google Hangouts for remote access. Based on my experience as a screen reader user, Zoom provides a more accessible cross-platform solution for performing various tasks including screen sharing and overall efficient navigation of the UI.

Hi Elyssa,

As others have said, an external drive will be your friend. Here?s a process you might use.

1. Download Grand Perspective <http://grandperspectiv.sourceforge.net/>, a free app that will show graphically what?s taking up the most space. DaisyDisk <https://daisydiskapp.com/> is similar, and costs $10. 

2. Run either one of those apps to show what?s on your Mac and it will show you the largest files. Move them to your backup disk (if you still need them, otherwise delete them), then delete them from your Mac (and empty the trash).

3. If you have 12,000 jpgs you could just move all of them to a photos folder on the external drive, too. 

4. Then get an app like Gemini 2 <https://macpaw.com/gemini>, which will find and delete duplicate files on your Mac. (You can also run it on the external hard drive to get rid of duplicates there).

5. Clean My Mac <https://cleanmymac.macpaw.com/20?campaign=cmmx_search_text_brand_us&ci=105095406&adgroupid=15565330806&adpos=1t1&ck=cleanmymac%203&targetid=kwd-111733657446&match=%7Bif:e%7D&gnetwork=g&creative=197446344603&placement=&placecat=&accname=cmm&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjO-Yi6ro5gIVCmyGCh2qHQPzEAAYASAAEgKZhvD_BwE> is another very good app that gets rid of lots of built-up ?system junk" and other files you don?t need. It?s good for regular maintenance and will often create a huge amount of space. 

6. Go to Settings > iCloud and set it to hold your photos in the cloud so they are not taking up space on your Mac. You can get 50gb of storage for a dollar a month, or 200gb for $3/month. You can also store other files (documents, etc) in the cloud. You will see small versions of the photos in the Photos app, but they won?t be taking up so much space and they will be safer in the cloud, too.

7. You might need help getting rid of the duplicate accounts, since the apps mentioned above will only check one account at a time. If you make an appointment at the Apple store it won?t cost you anything.

8. Once you have your machine in good order, duplicate files gone and large files moved to the backup drive, you want to keep things orderly. Maybe you want to buy a second 2 TB hard drive and use Disk Utility to split it into two virtual drives. Use one half for Time Machine backups and use the other for occasional Super Duper backups of your Mac. The Apple store might be able to help with this, too.

Most people are terrible at backing up their stuff. Here?s a basic approach <https://www.backblaze.com/blog/the-3-2-1-backup-strategy/>.

Good luck!

Chris

Thanks for Gemini 2 <https://macpaw.com/gemini> - I would hope it would 
distinguish between dupes that are part of active system files and those 
from earlier systems!

Anyone here use OnyX <https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/11582/onyx>?

Hey friends and neighbors,

A few years ago, my old Macbook died.? Some nice folks were able to "rescue
the data", and put it on my new Macbook.? They created a new user to do
this, and duplicate files of all my data and apps.? Then my old new Macbook
died.? Some nice folks were able to "rescue the data", and put it on my new
new Macbook.? My new new Macbook has three users on it, each with the old
old data 3 times, and the old data 2 times and the new new data once.? This
sucks.? Almost all my memory is used up.

I tried to download a duplicate file deleter app, but I couldn't because I
don't have enough memory to download the one app, and I don't have a recent
enough version of Mac Os to download the other.

What can I do?? I have kerzillions of files.? I tried going through the
list one by one using a "Smart Folder", but I have over 12,000 just jpgs.
I have an external hard drive... I wonder if that could be put to good use
in this endeavor.

Oh good techies of the valley... what do you know about this? <3

Well that sounds like a nightmare. How big is your external drive? That 
certainly sounds like a way to proceed. I think I?d try it in batches.
And I did a bit of google search and didn?t find an answer but maybe 
someone here knows - I think you have to get the files out of their 
separate user accounts to be able to manage them together.

Another thought - don?t try to manage the duplication - just have the 
files on an external drive and when you need an old file go and get it.

My two cents.

Hi Elyssa:
I highly recommend starting the process by making a time machine backup of your newest MacBook using an external drive. Once this is done, I would make a bootable copy of your MacBook drive using software such as Super Duper or Carbon Copy Cloner. Once the bootable drive has been created, you might consider booting from this drive to verify that works. Once this bootable drive has been verified, shut down your mac and disconnect any attached drives. After the attached drives have been disconnected, you can power back on the machine and start deleting user's and contents to free up space with the knowledge that you have two backups just in case something goes sideways. Regarding data backups, remember the mantra, two is one and one is none.
After you have freed up space on your MacBook, use another external drive for active time machine backups of your cleaned up Mac. Depending on the importance of the data, it may be worth considering keeping an encrypted bootable backup drive in another location.
I hope this helps a bit. Please feel free to reach out off-list if you would like clarification regarding any of the above.

Cordially:
Hai Nguyen Ly

Hi Elyssa,

Jon Ogrydziak and Zach Fried (cc'd) both did excellent work for my firm on deduping a year and ~4 years ago respectively. I used Jon for his network and Microsoft 365 expertise as well.

Deduping seems like it would be a simple software solution, but it's usually a lot more intricate than that, demanding professional skill.

SO what is happening now is that I heard back from Circuit Board Medics, who came recommended, and they said they couldn?t fix this board because they would have no way to test it. Since I know nothing about this world, what does that mean? Would anyone have this capability? It is an unusual stove.

> Hi Elyssa:
> I highly recommend starting the process by making a time machine backup of your newest MacBook using an external drive. Once this is done, I would make a bootable copy of your MacBook drive using software such as Super Duper or Carbon Copy Cloner. Once the bootable drive has been created, you might consider booting from this drive to verify that works. Once this bootable drive has been verified, shut down your mac and disconnect any attached drives. After the attached drives have been disconnected, you can power back on the machine and start deleting user's and contents to free up space with the knowledge that you have two backups just in case something goes sideways. Regarding data backups, remember the mantra, two is one and one is none.
> After you have freed up space on your MacBook, use another external drive for active time machine backups of your cleaned up Mac. Depending on the importance of the data, it may be worth considering keeping an encrypted bootable backup drive in another location.

 SO what is happening now is that I heard back from Circuit Board Medics, who came recommended, and they said they couldn?t fix this board because they would have no way to test it. Since I know nothing about this world, what does that mean? Would anyone have this capability? It is an unusual stove.

Hey friends and neighbors,

A few years ago, my old Macbook died.? Some nice folks were able to "rescue
the data", and put it on my new Macbook.? They created a new user to do
this, and duplicate files of all my data and apps.? Then my old new Macbook
died.? Some nice folks were able to "rescue the data", and put it on my new
new Macbook.? My new new Macbook has three users on it, each with the old
old data 3 times, and the old data 2 times and the new new data once.? This
sucks.? Almost all my memory is used up.

I tried to download a duplicate file deleter app, but I couldn't because I
don't have enough memory to download the one app, and I don't have a recent
enough version of Mac Os to download the other.

What can I do?? I have kerzillions of files.? I tried going through the
list one by one using a "Smart Folder", but I have over 12,000 just jpgs.
I have an external hard drive... I wonder if that could be put to good use
in this endeavor.

Oh good techies of the valley... what do you know about this? <3

Well that sounds like a nightmare. How big is your external drive? That 
certainly sounds like a way to proceed. I think I?d try it in batches.
And I did a bit of google search and didn?t find an answer but maybe 
someone here knows - I think you have to get the files out of their 
separate user accounts to be able to manage them together.

Another thought - don?t try to manage the duplication - just have the 
files on an external drive and when you need an old file go and get it.

My two cents.

Hi Elyssa:
I highly recommend starting the process by making a time machine backup of your newest MacBook using an external drive. Once this is done, I would make a bootable copy of your MacBook drive using software such as Super Duper or Carbon Copy Cloner. Once the bootable drive has been created, you might consider booting from this drive to verify that works. Once this bootable drive has been verified, shut down your mac and disconnect any attached drives. After the attached drives have been disconnected, you can power back on the machine and start deleting user's and contents to free up space with the knowledge that you have two backups just in case something goes sideways. Regarding data backups, remember the mantra, two is one and one is none.
After you have freed up space on your MacBook, use another external drive for active time machine backups of your cleaned up Mac. Depending on the importance of the data, it may be worth considering keeping an encrypted bootable backup drive in another location.
I hope this helps a bit. Please feel free to reach out off-list if you would like clarification regarding any of the above.

Cordially:
Hai Nguyen Ly

Hi Elyssa,

Jon Ogrydziak and Zach Fried (cc'd) both did excellent work for my firm on deduping a year and ~4 years ago respectively. I used Jon for his network and Microsoft 365 expertise as well.

Deduping seems like it would be a simple software solution, but it's usually a lot more intricate than that, demanding professional skill.

Hi Hidden Techies
	I have a friend who is looking for access to Adobe Creative Suite version 6. He wants to buy it for use on an older Apple computer (not sure what his reasons are). He has asked Adobe and they don?t sell it any more. He could probably find a bootleg version somewhere on the web but wants to keep it legal.
	If anyone has their old disks, or has an idea about where he could find them for purchase, I?ll send you his contact info off-list. This friend lives in California and will arrange for purchase and shipping. I?ll assist if that would be helpful but you should talk to him first.
	Thanks, as always, and Happy New Year!

Hi All,

Not sure if it is "just me" but seems like comcast cable internet
historically (and currently) really bogs down in the evening and when it
rains/snows.  Seems like there might be a bottleneck in some trunk lines
and we work a lot at night.during tax season and I cant afford to lose
productivity

I am relying on two hosted (cloud) based software solutions this year and I
am seeking to backup my internet connection with a mobile hotspot and an
antenna booster

Considering this with a Month to Month Data plan of 100GB

Any suggestions?

Also, it is likely that the reason for internet being slower when its 
rainy is because more people are at home watching stuff on Netflix, 
et.al. instead of going out.? Doesn't change the fact that Comcast is 
not that reliable, but ????.

Comcast is using a shared coax system. One wire, multiple users, not really
much different from the *early* days of Ethernet. That one wire can only
handle so much total bandwidth. (Yes, there is some fiber behind it, but a
given street or neighborhood just has the one coax wire.)

Subject: [Hidden-tech] SIMM card advice, please
Message-ID: <CADG-Mh24jEYEPN1fde3dLM19X9EaMtP55e_Taf648vPGv-navg@mail.gmail.com>

I'm traveling in India and using my stand-alone camera for the first time
since June. I took the high-capacity (8 gb, I think) SIMM card out of the
camera to load the pics into my computer, and I only see the ones from
January-June 2019(I had erased anything older before our trips last year).
The card is elderly but has worked reliably the entire time I've had it. I
don't know its age, as it was given to me, used, in 2016.

I still see the pictures on my camera. I already tried unplugging the
charger end of my USB charging cable and seeing if it would show up as an
external drive. It didn't.  Anyone have any ideas on how I can access and
upload them?

Thanks, as always.

Subject: [Hidden-tech] Problem with wireless adapter
Message-ID: <000001d5c8c0$4edbc780$ec935680$@claudiagere.com>

Yesterday, my wireless connection dropped from my Dell Latitude Laptop
running Windows 7. The wireless connection is working on all other systems
and devices. My laptop works fine with a direct ethernet connection. So I
ran Norton and Malware and defragged. Used Manage Computer checked all of
the devices to make sure the drivers and software were all up to date. I ran
updates and repair on devices that I thought could be related and it worked
for a few hours then disconnected again. 

 

Trying a number of different strategies (updating, rebooting, etc.) an error
message came up that said: 

Intel(r) Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260.No driver found.

Also: Network Controller.No driver found

And: Bluetooth Peripheral Device.No driver found

 

The last two have nothing in Properties that tells me who provides them or
anything useful.

This is a long way of asking if there is a fix that I'm missing, if it is
more likely that the wireless adapter/card has died, and if so who would be
the best place/resource to fix it. 

 

My many thanks, in advance, to this incredible group of people. Claudia

Try opening Device Manager, which you can get to from the Windows Control Panel, or by 
right-clicking on the Computer icon on your desktop, then look for Intel(r) Dual Band 
Wireless-AC 8260 in the Network adapters drop-down list.

If it doesn't show up (it should be the 1st adapter listed), you have a hardware problem, 
which could be a dead or disconnected card.

If it shows up with a warning (yellow exclamation point) next to it, it could still be a 
hardware problem, but it could also be a missing or corrupted driver.  Try right clicking 
on it, selecting Properties, and see if you can get it to update the driver.

If it does show up and it says the device is working properly, you may have a network 
configuration problem. You can get to that through the Network and Sharing Center, also 
accessible from the Control Panel or by right-clicking on the Network icon on your 
desktop. Network configuration problems can be a pain to troubleshoot under Windows 7.

As an aside, Microsoft support for Windows 7 ends next Tuesday, so you might consider 
upgrading to Windows 10.

A few things to try,
1. is there a physical button on the laptop that looks like a stick with 
curved lines radiating from it? Try pressing that if there is - I've had 
a similar experience and, after trying everything under the sun, I tried 
that and it miraculously fixed everything.
2. if it doesn't or they're no button, try going to the Dell website and 
entering your serial # in the support section. They should have a list 
of all the drives and firmware uptates.
3. if that doesn't work, update windows to v10, I think it is free, it 
was for v8.
Hope that helps

I assume its an onboarding wireless card?

You could go get a USB wireless card and see if that will work.
Probably cheapest quickness fix

Message-ID: <CAA3T8-w3G8Wd2XNDqb7dc3wbXAibW5txLLRjORVXJfrSAiup3A@mail.gmail.com>

I know this doesn't apply to the majority of HT folks, especially the
tech-savvy, but as there are a number of PCs still running Windows 7 (and
you likely know of someone who still is), it's a good reminder that
Microsoft is ending security and other support for Windows 7 tomorrow,
January 14th.

The following is an excerpt from a page on my website
<https://peoplefirst.tech/windows-7-end-of-life/> on the matter:

Getting by on Windows 7

Running Windows 7 in 2020 likely means that there may be other aspects of
your PC that could use a tune-up, especially when it comes to security. If
you can't upgrade right away, here is a list of priorities:


   - Ensure you have a complete backup, ideally more than one; one of which
      stays offline or in the cloud, such as Backblaze
      <https://www.backblaze.com/cloud-backup.html#af9pup>.
      - Use a highly rated antivirus program. Bitdefender
      <https://www.bitdefender.com/solutions/internet-security.html> is a
      good choice for Windows 7 and up. Manually run a complete system scan.
      - Don't use Internet Explorer. Here's why.
      <https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-it-pro-blog/the-perils-of-using-internet-explorer-as-your-default-browser/ba-p/331732>
Chrome
      is fine, but Firefox offers much better privacy and tracking protection.
      - Keep your wireless router's firmware up to date.
      - Use a standard account (as opposed to an administrator account) for
      everyday tasks, while switching temporarily to an administrator account
      when needed. Make sure your administrator account has a strong password.
      This would be a good time to upgrade to a quality password manager
      <https://1password.com/> if you haven't already.
      - Disable or remove features you don?t need, especially Java, Adobe
      Flash Player, and add-ons of questionable utility. ShouldIRemoveIt
      <https://shouldiremoveit.com/> is a great resource.

Definitely an extremely good reminder.

For some people this will be as an easy a fix as grabbing the windows 10
installer and running it. ( microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
)Check compatibility first, but if you're reasonably tech comfortable and
want to do this yourself just go for it.  It's past time to do so.

If not, find someone to help you, or go hunting for the
parts/software/assistance needed to upgrade your machine.

Generally speaking machines running 3rd gen Intel i series processors (or
equivalent) and before are not technically compatible and should likely be
replaced.

Be safe out there folks!

Subject: [Hidden-tech] retrieving files saved on MAC drive using Parallels
Message-ID: <2e89e087-a75f-0927-92eb-27fadd23c50c@swampdancer.com>

Years ago I partitioned my Macbook Pro with a Windows drive so I could 
use ARC/GIS to do mapping. I used Parallels to do this. I've since 
re-formatted that computer back to factory installed settings. I am 
scouring my external backup hard drive for shapefiles I may have 
intentionally saved there for a simple project I GPS mapped in the 
field, but can't find any intentional backups for this project.

Is there any place in Time Machine backups that I can look for these 
files that may have been saved on the Windows drive? I'm pretty sure I 
did not elect to do a backup on these external files - only Docs and 
Pictures from the Mac OS virtual drive. I'm pretty sure the answer is 
no, but figured I'd ask.

Just thought I'd check since you all are rock stars and probably know.

Thanks!

I haven't read all replies, but just want to caution people about such a 
major upgrade. I went from Windows 7 to 8 a few years ago, and it 
rendered my copy of Quickbooks inoperable. I had to buy a new copy for a 
couple hundred bucks.

If you have any older software on your machine that you absolutely rely 
on, check the version you have and Google whether it will still work on 
Win10.

Hello Wendy,

That?s my business!  I have lots of references if you want to check it 
out. Amherst is a bit far (I?m near Brattleboro, VT) but I would do an 
introductory trip and then offer remote coaching (really! I have several 
remote clients who are completely digitally challenged.)

See my website please.  Happy to talk to you as well. 802-579-5975 is my 
cell phone.

Thanks
Annamarie

I'd like to mention a few things about upgrading from 7 to 10, since 
I've done literally hundreds of these upgrades for companies that I work 
for.

(1) If you have older software you don't need to upgrade to the latest 
versions IF you you are ok running them in a virtual machine.?? Oracle's 
VirtualBox is a free product that is very simple to install.? (though 
you would need a valid Windows X license for whatever OS is on the 
virtual machine).? For some older software I'm running a Windows 7 32bit 
in the virtual environment so that a company can use some software that 
couldn't run on Windows 10 64 bit pro. ?? Consider it like the old 
"Windows XP Mode" that came with Windows 7 when it was first introduced. 
But the quickbooks that Mik mentioned might have been able to run in the 
virtual machine.

(2) And if you have a larger company and want to push out an image of 
Windows 10 to the workstations (as long as they are less than 6 years 
old and have a UEFI option), Microsoft has produced their WDS (Windows 
deployment services) software in Windows server alongside AIK in order 
to customize and create images that you can then boot off of the network 
and clone machines.?? I've had a lot of luck upgrading machines in rapid 
succession this way.? Start to finish I can clone a system in about 30 
minutes.? If you have questions about it, feel free to reach out to me.

(3) I had a lot of problems upgrading Windows 7 roaming profiles to 
Windows 10 roaming profiles (for larger business that use roaming 
profiles).? There doesn't appear to be any conversion program for them, 
so I ended up writing some scripts that did that sort of thing for me.? 
So just be aware if you use roaming profiles its a challenge dealing 
with Windows 7 to Windows 10 conversions.?? There are other options such 
as UE-V for those that have a subscription and can get access to it, or 
even folder redirection if you have an active directory.? And rumor has 
it that Microsoft wants to do away with roaming profiles altogether.

Good luck!

David

server is 64-bit). This VM is used (two times a year) for one thing only: to
run a Java program that talks to the heating system to change it from summer
mode to winter mode and back again. It is a Johnson Controls system. No other
applications are ever run on it, just the one Java program (which as far as I
can tell only runs under MS-Windows, despite being written in Java).

Is it worth the trouble to upgrade this VM?  I have no clue if the Java 
program will even run under MS-Windows 10, and I suspect if we want to run a 
newer version of the Java application, we would need to have Johnson Controls 
upgrade the firmware in the HVAC, which would probably cost $3,000 or some 
such (that is what it cost when we had things upgraded from the MS-Windows XP 
version...).  It might actually be cheaper to replace the HVAC control 
system with something *other* than Johnson Controls.  Eg pull the Johnson 
Controls "box" and replace it with a Raspberry Pi or something.

I wouldn't touch it,  older java apps break on newer java.

You could always spin up a new VM and see if you can get an updated control program from Johnson controls

Replace it with an Arduino

There is no reason at all to upgrade Windows in the VM.

The end of support for Windows 7 means just two things: You will no longer receive 
security updates from Microsoft, and you may not be able to get drivers for newer 
hardware. The second of these clearly does not apply here, and, unless you expect to surf 
the Web and/or retrieve your emails from within the VM, neither does the first.

Physically, a VM is just a file that contains a bootable image of a working computer 
environment. If you are worried that the environment within the VM might be contaminated 
by malware when you use it, backup the VM file(s) *before* you start the VM.

Then, when you need to use the VM again, restore a copy from the backup to work with. 
That way, you will always be guaranteed an uncontaminated environment in the exact state 
it was when you backed it up.

Yes, I would also caution against in-place upgrades, especially if your
computer is over six years old.  You might find that required Windows 10
drivers are not available.
If you do choose to upgrade, always create a system image, not just a
backup, from which you can if necessary restore your whole system.
My preferred upgrade process is to install a new disk drive and keep the old
one as a back-up.  It'd good opportunity to get a larger drive, and they do
wear out over time.
Install Windows 10 on the new drive, then install all your applications and
copy files, shortcuts, and bookmarks that you've saved on a CD or USB.
This takes a while but is worth it.  You avoid carrying over old detritus
from your previous install, avoid conflicts, and possibly improve the speed.

I haven't read all replies, but just want to caution people about such a 
major upgrade. I went from Windows 7 to 8 a few years ago, and it 
rendered my copy of Quickbooks inoperable. I had to buy a new copy for a 
couple hundred bucks.
 
If you have any older software on your machine that you absolutely rely 
on, check the version you have and Google whether it will still work on 
Win10.

FTL Labs Corporation is a small R&D business in Amherst that does much of
its work for the Department of Defense. The Cyber Security regulations are
becoming more complex and we could use an outside consultant to help us
establish best practices. The federal regulations that apply to us can be
found here
<https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/sp/800-171/rev-1/final>.

Tasks may include:

   -

   Create a Policies document, listing each of the security controls as FTL
   policies
   -

   Create a Procedures (or Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)) document
   -

   Create a System Security Plan
   -

   Get a DoD-approved medium assurance PKI certificate so we can report
   security incidents to the DoD
   -

   Figure out a security monitoring system (like Nagios), which probably
   needs to monitor the firewall (and hopefully not everyone?s individual
   machines), for a continuous monitoring solutionCreate a Plan of Actions and
   Milestones document to notate any controls that have not been met and a
   plan of actions and milestone dates for meeting the controls
   -

   Implement the technical solutions that are required, based on the
   previous documents
   -

   Create an Incident Response Plan to comply with the requirements of
   incident response, including protocols for contact and reporting to Dibnet.
   -

   Create or find existing Cybersecurity awareness training program for
   yearly employee training.

Hi techies!
I bought a new Panasonic Windows 10 computer and Microsoft Word on it is giving me no end of headaches.

The current headache is that Microsoft has inserted a screen asking me to consider my privacy options.  There is nothing I have tried that will make this screen go away so I can open a Word document.  I have tried changing the computer resolution, quitting via Task Manager, tabbing to every single option available, and nothing works to get me to a "finish" point to get rid of the interpolated screen.

Has anyone else encountered this, and how did you solve it?  I have client work I need to get to, and unfortunately do not have access to my old computer at the moment.

My only thought would be to install LibreOffice and chuck MS Office.  
LibreOffice is free and is likely to "Just Plain Work".

While I personally have LO on many machines, I have run into cases of 
incompatibility and keystroke differences
that make abandoning MS Office impractical.

That said, LO is a good fall back which trying to solve the MS/O 
problems and very quick to install,
Just see https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download/

Good luck

Or just use LibreOffice - it has as many or more features as Microsoft's 
proprietary version and I find the 'Calc' app has a much better user

Privacy options for Word are found on the Account page, accessed from the File menu (near 
the bottom of the list of items in the left panel of the File menu).

You should also set the overall Privacy options for your Microsoft account.  Find them by 
opening Windows Settings and typing "Privacy" into the search box at the top.

Unlike earlier versions of Windows, Windows 10 is a service, administered through your 
Microsoft Account.

The version of Word that comes with Windows 10 is part of Office 365, which is a 
subscription service tied to your Microsoft account. You may need to activate Office 365 
before you can use Word/Excel/etc.... on the new computer.

Thank you to everyone so far for your suggestions and comments.

I have downloaded LibreOffice but now I need to make sure that documents it creates 
will appear as I intend when a client opens them in Word... which I obviously cannot test 
myself since my Word is not working right now.

In particular, I need to make sure that when I turn on "track changes" that all the edits are 
right there and visible when the other side first opens the doc or docx file that I edited. If you 
need to execute any commands in order to see the changes, that is not cool.

Please email me offlist if you are willing to do this quick check for me offlist, which will take you 
all of a minute.

Thanks!

I'd use LibreOffice only as a fallback. It's OK with documents that are
straight text, but the more I formatted, the less it worked. I gave up on
it. I use Pages on my Mac, which reads and writes Word files fairly well,
and on my PC, I bought a copy of the stand-alone (non-cloud-based) MS
Office. I don't know if they still offer that option.

Is this really a computer that comes with a free copy of Microsoft Word?  That's pretty unusual,
so it may well be just a demo copy that you are supposed to then pay for- which Micro$oft demands
all the manufacturers install.  These demo copies tend to be annoying and spend a lot of time hitting you up 
to setup and subscribe.

I usually delete the whole thing immediately, then decide if I want to use a "real" copy of 
Word- which is relatively cheap if you don't buy the whole Office package- or go with
Libreoffice as others have suggested.

My experience with newer versions of Libreoffice is that it's reputation for incompatibility
is overblown.  If your documents don't use complicated tables or macros, it will likely be
just fine.

There is a free Word "viewer" program you can download from Microsoft to check 
what you're documents look like (Google 'doc viewer'), or
I'd be happy to print out a copy from an official Word install, just so you can check it.

cheers,
James

Subject: [Hidden-tech] Connected Online Backup
Message-ID: <c670d1bf51423bc6c5e63711655bbf31@8wheels.org>

I recently got a new computer to replace an old one.  I have been using 
Connected Online Backup (also called Autonomy and at one point part of 
Iron Mountain) for many years and it has served me well.  I would like 
to move my account to my new computer.  The instructions say to log on 
to my account at 
https://ecommerce.connected.com/ssws/MyAccount/main.aspx.  However, when 
I try this, I get a message "An Unexpected error occurred. Please try 
again later.  If the problem persists, please contact support."  Just in 
case the issue was a wrong password (not a good message if it is), I 
tried the password reset link, but did not get an e-mail.  I tried their 
support form and got no confirmation or response.  They are apparently a 
subsidiary of MicroFocus and/or HP.  I tried the support lines for those 
companies where at least I was able to talk to a person, but they were 
unable to help; I am not sure they had ever heard of Connected.

Any suggestions on what I can try next, other than either the BBB or 
badmouthing them on FB and see if they notice?

I happened to have a 250gb SSD and a USB connector for it. It had an unlicensed copy of Windows 7. I also had an older workstation. 

My regular workstation had a licensed Windows 7.  So I pulled it off the LAN, grabbed the license, and upgraded the SSD to Windows 10.

I was then able to boot from the drive over USB on my workstation (which sadly can not accommodate two drives). 

Turns out the workstation boots up much faster on the SSD through the USB than it did on the older Windows 7 SATA drive.

Hello fellow hidden-techies,

I'm looking for the best way to share a 5GB, 2hr video file with 20+ people
and use *individual different passwords* for each person. ... a way way to
share a video file with many people so they can watch and/or download but
without the ability for them to share the file?

your thoughts/expertise?  Thanks

If this is a one-time need, find someone who has membership-program or
webinar admin software and would do it for you as a one-time favor. Many of
those programs should be able to handle that. I can't recommend one because
I've never successfully run a membership site,  but look into WishList,
InfusionSoft, EZ Webinar, Audio Generator, and there's a freebie one out
there somewhere. Or look into the trial modes. If it's an ongoing need, I
believe WishList would give you better bang for your bucks.

I?ve used Linklok <https://www.vibralogix.com/linklokurl/> to create expiring links to videos for clients, optionally tied to a single IP address so they can?t be shared at all.

I also recommend breaking up the video into smaller chapters, or multipart zip file. No matter how big you print ?Don?t try to download this on your phone," people will, and then they?ll complain it?s broken and want a new link.

Subject: [Hidden-tech] Local pay rate question
Message-ID: <CAOGspOir6oFU9oKNLSc5y5mD=4xg_VK9-oHDkThADs+qh2tX_Q@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I'm helping a friend do some market research re IT jobs in the Valley. I
know what clients pay, but I don't have a sense of salaries:

Can anyone share with me their sense (or expertise) on what a starting
salary for a web developer is in the Northampton area? I mean someone going
to an established company and getting a salaried (or hourly full-time)
position. By web developer here I mean an experienced, advanced site
builder ? someone who gets hired as designer, architect, and builder of,
say, Wordpress or Drupal sites (but not someone who's coding apps and sites
in PHP or other language from scratch).

Thanks for your help!

-Steve

Robert Half publishes a yearly salary guide that has information for the
whole country with regional modifiers (it matters that Springfield area is
considered separately from Boston for salary purposes).  They tend to get
information from larger companies so it may be a little on the high end,
but it's the best resource I've found.

https://designcensus.org/ could be useful as a reference point, though
geared more towards design than development. It factors in region,
discipline, vertical, experience level, etc.

Previous research I had done in 2018 showed that Springfield, MA is
generally about the median salary in the US in terms of design jobs.

An interesting read, FWIW:
Minimum pay at Basecamp is now $70,00

My experience is that salaries are across the board about 40% lower in the
Valley than in Portland, OR, where I am now.
