Prez says for February 2026

Welcome to February, the month of Groundhog Day, Valentine’s Day, the President’s Day Holiday, and more cold weather.  Are you planning  something nice for a special person or pet for Valentine’s Day?

On February 3rd, we will have our Tech Corner and General meeting via Zoom.

Our General Meeting program will be "Stop Windows 10 or 11 from spying on you" presented by Rich at CyberCPU Tech via Zoom. Today we are updating our method for making Windows more private from Microsoft prying eyes. We will not only be changing settings in Windows to make spying more difficult but we will also use some advanced techniques to make Microsoft spying on you very difficult for them to pull off.  Please join us for this interesting presentation.

Do you have questions about one of your computer devices or software? Join Andy Peck via Zoom at 6:00 PM on February 3rd for our Technology Corner.  Topics for the February Tech Corner are:  Omi, Deleting photos, HP printer plans, Proton, AI writing federal regs, Surveillance Pricing, Misc. 

If you want to learn more about Linux, visit our Linux Special Interest Group Zoom meeting starting at 6:30 PM on February 10th. The North Bellevue Community Center will be closed for maintenance from February 9th through February 28th. The Linux Group also has a build-your-own server project Zoom meeting at 7:00 PM on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of February.

I look forward to seeing you soon.
