[sussex_mug] Sending large file

Hi, https://www.idropnews.com/mail-drop/how-to-apple-mail-drop/32278/ Apple Mail has a mail drop feature that operates for files larger than 20MB up to 5GB in size. However the file is only held for 30 days. I thought this was active by default but you seem to have seen this. Mail drop works

Re: [sussex_mug] Sending large file

Virginia, I hadn't seen that you were using a GMail address, so I'm guessing that you can make use of GDrive for which you have 5GB of space? You can share files and this Google Support article tells you how; https://support.google.com/drive/answer/2494822?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en

Re: [sussex_mug] Big Sur software update password request (daily)

Jason, I remember having this irritant on our M1 mac mini. What I can't recall is how we disappeared it. I think had something to do with iCloud asking for password but I may be confused as at the time I was trying to get the Mac mini running from an external SSD. I'll check my notes later today

Re: [sussex_mug] Big Sur software update password request (daily)

overnight updating to work at all. By way of contrast I’ve just updated our Raspberry Pi 400 to Big Sur and that happened like lightning compared to macOS updates. Actually updating Twister OS from 1.9.7 to 2.0.0 which includes a Big Sur UI option. -- Tony Crooks tcro...@gmail.com +44 7428 706227

Re: [sussex_mug] Understanding Apple Keychain

As I’m primarily an iPhone/iPad user these days the Passwords bit in Settings I find useful as it both identifies passwords that have been compromised as well as those that you might benefit from using a stronger one. And its easy to find and syncs across devices. -- Tony Crooks tcro

I think it is pretty clear that you can use Camo with other apps, not just Zoom. You may need some additional steps in the Camo Studio app to integrate Camo with the video chat app of choice. There is a long status list of apps that have been shown to work with Camo on their web site. Importantly
