It’s another super cool, super solo, That Real Blind Tech Show demo coming at you. Brian is alone in the virtual lair again, and thanks to an email, decided to put together a demo of the Keyboard Commander for you.   Should you be up on how to use the Keyboard Commander, skip ahead to the second part of the episode where Brian will demo some of the serious navigation issues with the Mac Catalyst designed apps and VoiceOver.   Brian walks you through his set of keyboard commanders that he uses on a daily basis. He then walks you through how to set up a keyboard commander to open a program, and follows that with setting up a keyboard commander to perform some VoiceOver specific tasks like setting different keyboard commanders to control your system volume and your VoiceOver voice volume.    Brian then decides to torture himself, and show you the myriad of issues with Catalyst designed apps and VoiceOver. He starts off with messages, then moves to the Music app, and finally ends up in the worst of all the catalyst designed apps, the App Store.     To contact That Real Blind Tech Show, you can email us at [email protected], join our Facebook Group That Real Blind Tech Show, join us on the Twitter @BlindTechShow , or leave us an old school phone message at 929-367-1005.

The gang is back together once again in the That Real Blind Tech Show virtual lair.   We start off talking about a possible Y2K Part two on the news that the chrome and Firefox browsers may stop working with some websites as they hit version 100.? Then it is on to Brian’s latest favorite story of the year, about a man who shut down his town’s internet while trying to curb his kids screen time.   Facebook continues to rebrand and they have changed the name of the News Feed to, well, you will never guess what! And blow the dust off the app, but we actually have some KNFB news.   If you have an old PC or Mac lying around as a paper weight then you may want to think about turning it in to a chrome book using the new Google Chrome flex. But of course, is the process accessible?   We then talk a little medical science and if we have ever been approached about a cure for our blindness. This leads us to the disturbind story of Second Sight and Argus the second. On a some what related note, are carriers shutting down 3G networks too soon? And on the heals of 3G going bye bye, Wifi 7 is coming, but wait didn’t Wifi 6 just get here?   With inflation rocketing up we decided to discuss a little prep work for making sure those finances are secure. We then dive in to how much each of us is worth, and you might be surprised by this! We then discuss the rising cost of Amazon Prime and Netflix.    CSUN is coming up in March, but has the conference Jumped the Shark?AxeCon is coming this March 15th to the 17th, you can sign up to virtually attend here.   We have emails. If you tell them the email address [email protected] they will come!   It’s a new segment, Tweet of the week.   Then it is more of What’s Pissing Off Brian Now, and Watcha Streaming, Watcha Reading.     To contact That Real Blind Tech Show, you can email us at [email protected], join our Facebook Group That Real Blind Tech Show, join us on the Twitter @BlindTechShow , or leave us an old school phone message at 929-367-1005.
