🇨🇦 Jason Bouwmeester 🍁<p>Fellow IT folk... what's the going rate (CAD$) for miscellaneous IT work? Setting up computers, troubleshooting, email issues, website issues, etc...

🇨🇦 Michael Porter 🇨🇦<p>Tech question. My home internet seems flaky, but I’m not sure if it’s my provider, my modem/wifi router, or devices (like HomeKit switches) at fault.</p><p>Does anyone know of a macOS-compatible app that can monitor the first two? i.e., something that can tell me when the internet is down and when the wifi is down. Two different apps would do, I realize I’d have to have one computer wired directly to the modem for the internet status.</p><p>I can hook up a linux box if that broadens my options.</p><p><a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/IT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IT</span></a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/MacOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MacOS</span></a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Apple</span></a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/ITHelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ITHelp</span></a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a></p>
I'm moving to mastodon.ie<p>PowerPoint. How do I set something to just play on loop?

Nela Dunato<p>HELP 🛟 INFO NEEDED</p><p>I created an educational resource for mixed media artists in the form of a Google spreadsheet. It uses the comments functionality to add annotations to many of the cells. (This is an important feature.)</p><p>BUT if I share the document publicly with comments visible, anyone can add their own comments or "approve" mine. This is a disaster waiting to happen if any spammers or mischievous kids were to stumble upon this resource.</p><p>[continued]</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/TechHelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TechHelp</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/ithelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ithelp</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/software" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>software</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/helpwanted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>helpwanted</span></a></p>
Wendy Palmer<p>Help with tech issue please!</p><p>My son’s brand-new school Windows laptop’s battery is not lasting as long as it needs to: he uses it for one 40-minute WebEx system, which uses up 50% of the battery, and then one independent study session and one in-class session, both of which are just web-based research and/or ebook reading, and typing in Word.</p><p>We’ve turned on every battery-saving option we can find, including turning off auto load/background refreshes, turning down the screen brightness and turning the video streaming off HD. This last made the WebEx session use 40% rather than 50%, but overall he’s just left on 5% now instead of completely dead. If he has a day needing more video, or if more classes require a laptop, it’s not adequate.</p><p>It was advertised as lasting 14 hours. I know that doesn’t translate to real-world use, but 2.5 hours seems extremely poor. Is the battery a dud, is this just what WebEx/modern apps do, or is there some other setting we can play with?</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/laptop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>laptop</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/ITHelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ITHelp</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/TechHelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TechHelp</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/BatteryLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BatteryLife</span></a></p>

Rozzychan<p>I was on tumblr and I moused over and the screen changes to look like this, and I remember that this used to be a trick we played on each other, a bit of code, I can't remember how we did it, but it was a joke.</p><p>And I am wondering, is there a virus on my computer, or is it on tumblr, or is it in my browser?

CliffChapman<p>My Birdplace download from an old suspended account is a JSON that I can't view in a browser &amp; is stuffed with html so unreadable as txt. How do I see it in a more readable format? Im no programmer &amp; know nothing about Python sadly. I thought you were supposed to have a browser file but there's nothing. Suggested I import it in to Excel too but not seeing how that works either. Can anyone help please?
