APCUG photo and website contest deadline Aug 26

Posted on 2015-08-09 by sysop
This is your friendly reminder that the clock is ticking on submitting your entries. They are due no later than August 26.

1 – Presidents – have you forwarded the Digital Photo Contest guidelines to your members so they can enter the contest? I’m sure we have many more great photographs out there but they haven’t been entered in the contest.

2 – Editors – have you submitted your newsletters (last 3 issues of 2014)? I know groups are losing their editors and many are having no one volunteer to take his/her place but it’s great that two groups have had a member step up to take on putting the newsletter together. I also know there are many more newsletters than we have received as entries. I personally think it’s one of the best benefits a group can have.

3 – Webmasters – we have a gazillion updated websites which is a good thing since we used to have a gazillion outdated websites. But….they have not been entered in the contest.

For those people who are receiving this e-mail that are not presidents, editors, or webmasters — how about making sure your group participates in the contests.

The guidelines for the contests are attached. I’m also taking this opportunity to send you the new Member of… logo for your website and / or newsletter (two versions attached).

If you have any questions, please send an e-mail to contests@apcug.org.

Stop Windows 10 spying dead in its tracks with one free app

By on Aug 5, 2015 at 9:05 AM

“Enter DoNotSpy10, a new free app from German developer pXc-coding. Moving beyond the key settings we discussed earlier, this app creates a centralized interface where users can quickly and easily adjust settings related to 37 different features that have a direct impact on security and privacy. This means that instead of combing through a dozen different settings screens in Windows 10, users can adjust all of their privacy and security settings in one place.”

Windows_logo_-_2012.svgWindows 10 doesn’t offer much privacy by default: Here’s how to fix it

Windows 10 shares a lot of personal data with Microsoft, but you can turn most of it off.

by (UK) – Aug 4, 2015 9:00am PDT

“Windows 10, by default, has permission to report a huge amount of data back to Microsoft. By clicking through “Express Settings” during installation, you allow Windows 10 to gather up your contacts, calendar details, text and touch input, location data, and a whole lot more. The OS then sends it all back to Microsoft so that it can be used for personalisation and targeted ads.”
