Episode 8: Food glorious food, new tiles, Uber Pet, the awesome Microsoft Edge Chromium beta and more

Hi Mosen at Largers. Thanks for joining me again. Are you as enthralled by the Brexit drama as me? Before putting the show together, I pulled an all-nighter watching coverage of the unusual and dramatic Saturday session of the UK House of Commons. I offer a few thoughts. We talk about food you absolutely adore, and food you detest. Even though the answer to this question should be blatantly obvious, at a listener's request I outline just a few of the things that make soup an abomination. I review and highly recommend "A Day Like Today", an autobiography by British journalist and recently-retired BBC interviewer John Humphrys. Shawn calls in to recommend a book called the ABCs of UEB. You can find it here. (http://www.brailleauthority.org/ueb.html) We hear a listener's perspective on running Windows on a virtual machine on the Mac. Keeping with our food theme, Bonnie joins me to discuss some of her most and least favourite food as well as her first taste of a New Zealand culinary institution. We look at a few items of tech news, including announcements around Disney Plus, Uber Pet, Google's Pixel event and the cool new recorder in the new devices, the ability to easily move music and other audio between your Google Home devices, Tile has some new products including Tile Stickers. I discuss how I have now made the Microsoft Edge Chromium beta my web browser of choice.

For many of us, the current iOS Braille bugs are an annoying productivity killer. For DeafBlind people, the situation can often be confusing and create a genuine health and safety issue. Some of these bugs go back to iOS 15.2, even more were introduced in 15.3 and none have yet been fixed in the 15.4 beta. Check out this section from our latest episode.

Interest in the Mac from the blind community has increased, particularly since iPhone was made accessible.

Kia ora Mosen At Largers.\n \nIt is generally accepted that there is a Deaf culture, and it’s something in which Deaf people take a lot of pride. Do we have a blind culture?

Episode 83: An Apple special. First impressions of the iPhone 12 Pro Max, demonstration of the lidar-based people detection feature, and a discussion about the new Apple Silicon Macs

Yes, I know I originally said I would skip a new iPhone this year, but some people are just beyond help. I'll give you my initial impressions of the iPhone 12 Pro Max as a blind person running Apple's VoiceOver screen reader after 24 hours of use.\n The reason I purchased a new iPhone after all was because of the exciting world of Lidar. Heidi Taylor joins me as we demonstrate the People Detection feature, designed specifically for blind people and built into the latest version of iOS.\n Then I'm joined by Katie Frederick and Janet Ingber to discuss Apple's One More Thing event in which they announced the release of the first three Macs based on Apple Silicon.
