serial or parallel embosser Mac

2023-07-22 Thread Shai
Hello all,
Would anyone happen to know if an existing Mac would work with a
serial or parallel braille embosser using a USB to serial or parallel
converter?
Thank you in advance for any responses.

Mark on Apple News Plus, Not Bad, Not Bad at All

2023-07-22 Thread M. Taylor
Hello Everyone,

I don't know if I think the Apple Plus subscription at $9.95 per month is
worth the cost, however, I can tell you that at part of my Apple One
subscription, I am truly enjoying the service.

I am amazed at how Apple seems to know, based on my past reading history,
what articles I will find interesting.  As astonishing as this may sound,
they get it right about 98% of the time.

I don't know if this means that their algorithms are that good or that I am
that simple and uncomplicated (big smile); perhaps a bit of both.

Would I trade Apple News Plus for NFB Newsline?  Absolutely not.  However, I
do think there is something to be said for having Apple News Plus, if one
can afford it.

Mark

Press the home button and the side button at the same time. When you release 
them both, the screenshot will be taken and you will hear the shutter sound.

HTH.

Re: Has Anyone Managed to Seamlessly and Consistently have VoiceOver Audio Switch Between Apple Watch and iPhone, via AirPods?

2023-07-22 Thread joseph hodge
Sadly, no this is one of my biggest frustrations with the AirPods and the 
ecosystem. It appears that they don’t view voiceover as an audio source or 
anything of importance. I say this because I can be using my Apple Watch and if 
I’m playing real media, then it never switches to my iPhone when using the 
AirPods. As soon as I stop playing media though, and I’m just swiping through, 
let’s say the home screen, the Apple Watch will often drop off the AirPods and 
voice will come out the watches speaker.I hate saying things like this, but 
it’s very clear that the testers do not use voiceover permanently or for the 
ones that do they may not be being listen to. It’s very frustrating as I would 
like to use the watch more in bed, but cannot because of this inconsistency. I 
don’t want to annoy my wife.
