Hello all you tech-heads!
It’s great that you keep tuning in to check out our stuff. Please keep coming back.
Things have fallen a little behind, and I am just trying to get this stuff out before our next meeting. I’ve actually been working on a video project presentation for my eldest daughter’s Quinceañera. It is been occupying the majority of my time, and I have fallen behind on publishing our club cast podcast.
I hope you in enjoy this.
Today’s meeting covered the following topic:
- A Snow Report from our members in cold climates.
- COVID updates and personal experiences.
- OBS Studio – the opensource broadcast software.
- Microsoft 365 accounts tiers.
- About iOS 14 Updates.

Reoccurring Themes
Our meeting’s YouTube video is available at: https://youtu.be/C3BE1W_667o
We have returned to Tuesday meetings at a new start time of 10:00am. We will continue our virtual format with online meetings in Google Meet.
Currently, we are using the Google Meet code: [rgb-rrgc-gqp] for our weekly meeting. This code will probably be the same for next meeting. Check our blog sccClub.org for notifications when in doubt.
The Google Meet is scheduled on Google Calendar. If you want to be on that calendar invitation, then provide me your Google account id. Also, provide me with your email address, or follow the appropriate accounts to see a reminder sent out by email, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and WordPress on the day of our meeting.
A CHALLENGE: Can you design a phrase or dialog to trigger and execute a smart speaker commands, while masquerading as conversation? #speakerhacker – Any command execution counts, for example: play a song, get the weather, turn on/off a light. The goal is to covertly execute the command with conversation. We’ll play with our speakers and check back in next week. (see article: Uncovered: 1,000 phrases that incorrectly trigger Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant.)
Special thanks to all of you that have been helping in my endeavors. The things I am doing would not be possible without your support.
Remember, you can always show your support by taking a moment to go on YouTube and iTunes to review, like, and subscribe. When you do this, it gives our efforts greater exposure and this is as valuable, and as appreciated as any contribution. (don’t get me wrong. I could always use some money. hahaha.) Thank you.
I am always looking forward to our next meeting. Feel free to ‘prep me’ ahead of time with any topics you would enjoy discussing.
Everyone take care and #techOn!
