In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: hard drive specialist not really needed. If it's a typical hard drive only a small bit of technical skills, that with a screwdriver is needed. Just remove the hard drive - probably a 2 1/2 inch drive and get a USB drive adapter kit (about $25) and it will plug into your current system where you can get to everything on the drive. Depending on what you looking for and you share time (you have some now right ?) It just takes some hunting to find everything. This the adapter I used last year: M.2 SATA SSD to USB 3.0 External SSD Reader Converter Adapter Enclosure The kit even includes the screwdriver. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076DCNZM3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 You need to do a little research as to the exact drive type -- they are pretty well marked once you take it out of the case. If this is too much complexity, more about finding what you want on the drive, than the hw work - most tech shops can handle the work.

He has done amazing work, a national movement that started in Greenfield. I've cited him in some of my books and articles. It sounds like Rich took a look at the code and it's only a few forms that are in PHP4, as opposed to all the collected data and web pages. It might be simpler to upgrade or replace those data collection forms and then host the site where it is or wherever. Also, I have found that at least Hostgator tech support will upgrade an old site to handle PHP5. They did this for me recently, editing some specific lines of cold. It was quick, painless, and didn't cost anything.

The best you can do is encrypt the content and place restrictions on various activities. PDF-Xchange Pro, which I use to create, edit and read PDF documents, offers fairly granular permissions for printing, editing and content extraction. You can assign one password to open a document and another to modify permissions. Just how secure PDF passwords are is questionable, given the large number of sites claiming to provide PDF password removal, and in any case, you can't prevent someone from passing along passwords with files, nor can you prevent screen capture of individual pages. Password encryption should be enough to prevent abuse by casual readers, but will not deter real experts from extracting content.

I set up one for a client maybe 15 years ago which allowed him to control access to documents even after they were distributed. The way this works is that you set up an authentication service on the internet, and when someone tries to open the PDF, it checks in to make sure they're still allowed access. You can essentially make up their own rules for this. My old clients used this for distributing very expensive industry reports for subscribed users, but the underlying theory is the same. I'm pretty sure the software we used was FileOpen (fileopen.com). There may be some other solutions out there, but I'm not familiar with them... this isn't something I've looked at in a long time. -Dan On Fri, Jul 17, 2020 at 2:14 PM Fred Levine via Hidden-discuss < hidden-discuss at lists.hidden-tech.net> wrote: > We have a client who wants to sell her book as a PDF.

Both of those I believe are Windows only and free, but there may be similar utilities on the Mac side as well. Handbrake has a very good encoder, but might also have the option simply copy to not re-encode.

Its compact size hides a high degree of complexity that makes it one of DJI?s most sophisticated flying cameras ever. 24 high-performance computing cores, an all-new transmission system with a 4.3mi (7km) *range, 5 vision sensors, and a 4K camera stabilized by a 3-axis mechanical gimbal DJI?s brand new OcuSync transmission technology, with a range of 4.3mi (7km)*, HD 720p long range and Full HD 1080p short range video streaming. The Mavic uses FlightAutonomy technology to sense obstacles up to 49ft (15m) away and allows the Mavic to bypass them or brake to hover, reducing accidents. Mavic supports 4K video at 30fps. No Electronic Image Stabilization is used, ensuring all footage is 4K. We have created a miniaturized, ultra-precise 3-axis gimbal for the Mavic, capable of stabilizing the camera even during high-speed motion for smooth video and sharp photos. Bundle includes DJI Mavic Pro Platinum, one extra battery Mavic Platinum Pro. Less than 15 hours fly time. $1,200 OBO. Comes with everything in the picture. This is the professional model and the video is stunning. Any questions please ask. Outside local area (Amherst, MA) will have to pay for shipping. Local, we are practicing social distancing.

My fear is that there may be tech jargon that she wouldn't know, but if you wanted to send the PDF, or even a sample page, I can have her take a look and see if it's something she can do. She's planning to minor in Mandarin in college and she's an entrepreneur who is hoping to do these sorts of projects as a side-gig while in school.

My condo association needs a place to keep an electronic repository of records. We have a web site but it's not a good fit to put all documents there. Various committees need space to share and edit documents, collaborate on them, etc., with each committee being able to control privileges. I know there is Google Drive, G Suite and similar solutions but I'm not sure it's the right match. It needs to be a long term official repository for working drafts and other documents for our association. Most documents of interest to all members end up on our website. There are 42 households and about 100 members in the association, so our needs are pretty basic. Finally, it needs to be a company likely to be around for the long run, and offer us a place to backup our website to. What solutions like this are out in the marketplace? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

My Zoom account doesn't include webinar features and caps out at 100 seats. What are some good alternatives, either no-cost or minimal cost? I'm also open to exploring how to broadcast a Zoom call over a higher-capacity system such as Facebook Live. I've been on some calls that were cast to both at the same time, so I know it's possible, but I don't know if the signal gets degraded. Ideally, it would allow chat for early attenders, switch chat off during the presentation, and perhaps turn it back on at the end, enforce preregistration, bump off anyone who disrupts or hijacks the call, and allow for recording and individual viewing later.
