From the orbit reader manual, tips and tricks for the bard app, I've been saying this a million times, if you are to sell in a country where you know what language is primarily spoken, have someone that can speak that language natively proof read all of your documentation. Please please please. "Downloads need a working internet connection. Wi-Fi is simplest." Um, what other way did they expect people to use it? That ethernet port hidden under the battery door? *sarcasm*

So finding the 8 textbooks for my wife&#39;s class is a fucking nightmare. Bookshare has all of them and she can use the webreader to read them on pc but she wants to use her phone too. Voice dream reader can download directly but it sucks when reading with any built in IOS voices. It will just crash or not play at all when play is pressed. Don&#39;t know if bookshare reader is any better. Oh and RFBD has 1 book, while audible has 5. Bard has none. I am trying to get them for free as...

Man if street fighter 6 were complete, I&#39;d pick it up in a second. But I am willing to wait years for the super ultimate ultra edition and pick everything up all at once.

So I didn&#39;t bookmark the page but there was a blind individual that wrote either a command line or GUI program, I don&#39;t remember, that allowed toggling of a bunch of windows settings, show file extensions, ETC ETC. Anyone know where that might be located? I am putting together a bunch of things to configure a machine with a fresh win11 install. So far I have windows debloat, open shell, explorer patcher, and a registry key to turn off the lock screen.

I am 90% sure she has the Juliet pro. From the little I can find online about it, it is like 50 pounds. The newer romeo is $3300 which is bad but not as bad as I thought, about 16 pounds. The newer juliet is $3800, same weight but comes with tactile graphics software which she does not need. Wish I could find it without that or both a bit cheaper.

Oh and I'll be missing the apple tv remote app too. And airplay. And oh my! I still think it may be worth the $300 savings though. I mean $600 for the 17E is just ridiculous.

Last boost, I am hoping this is starting the final nail in the jaws coffin. This is a screen reader, think about that, a screen reader. If they didn't throw all the AI crapola in it in the first place, none of this would be needed. Remember, NVDA will never, ever require this. I hope the backlash is swift.

This lady on YouTube uses the Yamaha FGDP30 for all her drum tracks and here is a little groove just posted. Pretty decent if you ask me. This is exactly why I want one, so I can learn a new instrument and play similar stuff. If anyone wants to sell, please let me know. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRYdt-00uhw

Thinking about how awesome and exciting it was to get to play the classic Infocom text adventures back in the 90&#39;s. Ordering the classic masterpieces of infocom cd-rom by phone directly from activision before I had a cd drive because I just knew I had to get it or have a hell of a time finding it later! And I was right! Never saw it in a store. Going over to a family friends house and teaching them how to copy/paste as many .dat game files as a few floppies would hold just to play a f...

On the sams club site where you can get free trials of apple tv, apple music or apple arcade, the Redeem button for apple tv reads: aria-label-from-constructor Redeem Now 1 button. Hey at least it has a somewhat accessible label lol!
