Apple watch VS exercise machines

[Jeremy Gilley]

Hello all,

 

Just curious, on my rowing machine, it says I lose more calories then what
my watch says.

Witch is more accurate?

Its not even close, my watch is almost 200 calories less then the machine.

Thought the watch might be more accurate because its actually on my wrist,
but thought maybe someone saw something if they were working out on machines
as well.

As for the charging it means you probably have nightstand mode on, turn this
off in settings and make sure raise to wake is turned off and it will not do
this. You can even turn off to wake it by turning the digital crown up, turn
this off and tap to wake and it will only wake up if you actually press the
digital crown.

Speaking of watches and questions,

How can I get my watch to stop talking constantly?

I mean, when its charging, it seems like when it hears a sound it starts
telling me the time, or when the knob on the side remotely gets touched by a
jacket, or something brushes it, it starts yakking.

Its quite annoying.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Carol,

The easiest thing is to ask Siri to start the kind of workout you want.
However, with Watch OS 5, the watch will usually detect when you've started
a workout if you forget to tell it ahead of time. It will make a guess as to
the kind of workout you are doing, and you can accept that guess or pick the
right kind. It can also detect when you've stopped working out and ask if
you want it to stop recording one

Best,
Anna

Hello,

 

I was just wondering if anyone has the dark skies weather app for their

If so, how is it with VO? 

Also, how good is it with the weather in your opinion?

 

Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Hello all,

I just got my new series 4 today.

Needing some help.

It came with 2 bands. the original and the one I wanted.

In my excitement, I put the wrong band on.

I was able to get one side off, but can't figure how to get the other side
off.

Help please?

Also, I tapped on power off, but it won't shut off and its driving me nuts
lol.

Again, any help would be much appreciated.

This is what I am needing it to do.

1. They can say damroll sword, staff what ever.

2. they can say magicroll sword etc.

If I am afk, and they want to do this, how can they hand me said item, I

Yes, we are allowed to bot with these kinds of scripts.

Its not helping us by giving xp or anything.

 

The second part of this question is with enchanting armor.

 

Player says enchant item.

I would first enchant it, then cast like 4 other protection spells like
coldproof, acidproof etc.

Then hand it back to the same player.

I guess I am not sure of the wild cards or something that might work in
this.

Any tips or examples would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

RE: some apple watch questions

[Jeremy Gilley]

Hello,

I just ordered my 4th generation watch.

It will be here middle of October.

Didn't expect to pay more for it then I did my Iphone 8+.

That sucker cost me a tad over 1,600 U.S dollars including tax and the apple
care package.

Anyways, I sure hope its worth it.

I love the workout aspect of it, the heart rate.

I am huge into outdoors and distance etc.

So, From that point of view and the weather I think I will.

However, I thought there was something recently that showed a book or info
on how to set up the watch, get familiar at least with the basic of a watch.

I never had any of the earlier generations.

So, this is my first watch.

Any tips or info as to where I can put my hands on this info would be super
appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi everyone,

My favorite things about the watch are getting notifications on my wrist
and the fitness stuff. In a crowded, noisy environment, getting a tap on
the wrist when a text message comes in means I'm more likely to know I
got the message. I'm not that into fitness, but being reminded to get up
and walk around each hour has improved my health, I'm sure.

Sometimes when it's hard to get my phone out in a hurry, being able to
answer the phone from my wrist is convenient.

There are apps that are really helpful in addition to the built-in ones
as well. I have one called Clicker that simply lets you tap it to count
things. I knit, and some of the patterns require counting rows. I love
having the count on my wrist, where it's easy to access.

It's also easier to deal with text messages from the watch without
stopping what I'm doing completely. When a new one comes in, I can
quickly dictate a reply.

I hope that helps.

Best,
Anna

RE: IRobot app accessible?

[Jeremy Gilley]

I also purchased the neato, and was super excited about this.

Once I got my longhaired golden retriever however, it had to go.

It wasn't picking up as much because the hair kept being tangled in the
brushes and it was more of a pain to clean.

Ended up getting a shark vac.

It is the app which controls the Roomba 980 robotic/connected vacuum cleaner
from the company iRobot.

It is one of these things which drives itself around your house vacuuming as
it goes.

My Dad and I bought the Neato smart robot vacuum for my Mom a couple of
years ago after she had hip replacement surgery and while it sort of works,
she says in her house it does sometime sget confused and she says after
every second cleaning she has to take it more or less completely apart to
clean the brushes and sensors otherwise it is even worse.

My opinion and conclusion is that considering the price of these things they
are not worth the money at this point, certainly in my Mom's case she still
needs a vacuum to manually vacuum from time to time, she has a border collie
who sheds quite a lot and while she only has area rugs not wall to wall
carpeting, the robotic vacuum sometimes gets stuck and doesn't properly
clean the carpets. Maybe if you house is all hardwood, laminate, tile or a
mix of those and if it's not too cluttered with furniture and you live in a
clean environment these things may do the job, she lives on a ranch where
people at times come in tracking in dust and dirt and it's not a complete
solution.

Hi Linda,

The name of the company is Aira pronounced "Eye Ra".

I am actually going to be signing up for the service today and if you or
anyone else on the list are interested I can share a referral link that if
you use it when you sign up for the service will get us both a free month of
the service.

The pricing for Aira is as follows:

100 minutes per month for $89

200 minutes per month for $129

400 minutes per month for $199

Unlimited minutes per month for $329

I know that it sounds like a lot of money to pay but if you really think
about the service that they are providing it really doesn't seem that high
to me. I know that for my wife and me we will get a lot of use out of this
service as there are a lot of times during the month that we have to ask one
of our sighted friends or family members to either come over to our house to
help us or to use Face Time on the iPhone to help us.

I am going to be signing up with the 200 minute plan to start, but if we
need more time (which seems unlikely) I can change it later. Also, keep in
mind that if you find that you are not using all of your minutes in the
month you can then downgrade your service unless you are already on the
lowest tier plan. I believe that if you use all of your minutes in a given
month that you can then purchase more time but as of right now I do not know
how much it cost to add time to the current month.

I hope that this information is helpful, and please let me know if you are
interested in getting a referral link as I will then share it with you.

I hope that everyone has a great day!

The first chapter took me days more like a week to complete. This should

the game and have even donated money just because the developer is so good
about making sure accessibility is optimized.

RE: land of livia.

[Jeremy Gilley]

So, 
this is a RPG game, and I am seeing that you have to pay for future chapters
of the game?
I love RPG type games, but not sure about having to pay for future chapters
to advance the storyline.
Thus far, most of the information makes sense, you have your stats such as
strength, dex etc, but when I try to go to the campfire, it says I'm not
connected to the net?
Is this broken because I do have internet on my phone lol.

Basically it's a game where you send your character on quests that winn you
items and skills you need in more advanced quests. It's all rapped in a

Hello all dicers,

 

So, hoping someone can help me.

Is there a way to surrender games that   you are playing with people?

There are 3 games that these players are just not playing for days on end,
and I am 1 move from losing anyways and just want to be done with the games.

Its been 3 days sense they have taken their turn.

If they take a turn, then they will wait another 3/4 days to take another
turn.

I have had these games going on for like a month.

I know that when playing against the computer, you can surrender, just can't
find that feature when playing against people.

Thanks for any help.

RE: Using Smart Glasses with apps on the phone?

Please explain then?
Because the email sounds like your putting your phone into a holder on these
cardboard glasses that sit on your face.
So, I thought the same thing.
Trying to picture your phone sitting on your face.
That doesn't appear to be a smart move if that's the case.

Hi Sandy,
No, apple hasn't done anything on this market yet. It is a new market and it
is not profitable yet. However there are ways to use your phone as a smart
glass. It is what I did and what I do when I want to use a better camera and
the compass.
Google has 2 great ideas about this. There is the google cardboard. It is a
simple peace of cardboard that you are going to use on your eyes. You pay
for it, it is around $15 on amazon, and they come already folded and ready
to use. Also if  you want you can pay for the head straps that are going to
hold the google cardboard on your head because you will need to put your
iPhone inside the google cardboard. This choice has pros and cons.
Pros: it is the cheapest choice, and for learning is great due to the low
cost.
Cons:
They are a little bit uncomfortable, and they are not very durable.
Now, here is the best choice that I have found, and they are what I use when
I need to do activities with a lot of movement. The google daydream. The
cost is 100 dollars. Don't buy the google daydream first edition. Google
released a newer version on October 2017, and it is the best. In the google
daydream second edition or google daydream view you will put your iPhone,
and you are able to do what you want. This device is made with fiber so it
is more comfortable, also it comes with 3 straps so it will not fall.
What are the pros and cons?
Pros: it is cheaper than any other smart glass, and you are able to put an
iPhone also.
It is made in fiber so it is more comfortable.
Cons:
This is a virtual reality headset, so the camera will be cover. However what
I did and what many other blind people have done is ask someone to help you
doing a hole on the google daydream on the area where the iPhone camera lens
will be.
I use the google daydream when I am on activities with a lot of movement.
The vision 800 glasses are fashion but they are also fragile, so I don't use
them when I need to run or move a lot.

How longwill that last though.  I got the two year deal with the
bundle for $134 and kt would creep up.  At the end of that time my
bill jumped from $170 something to $257.  That was when I said goodbye
to AT
I do not care to bundle too, because if one service goes out they all
do and I had too many outages with them to suit me.
Now I pay separetly for everything.  I don't like what they charge for
phone but internet isn't bad, and Spectrum tv should not be as high as
it is but now they charge for any little thing you ask for; I wanted
Encore and Sundance; before it was included in their basic package
with the cable box; now i't isn't.  If I didn't have the  trees issues
here and the fact I use a TiVo so I can use description when I want,
I'd cut the cord too and get a very good indoor antenna, but it won't
work in this area.

Its funny that you say that ATT is the worse.
I just went from a $200 cable bill to $90.99 with ATT
UVERSE television with internet bundle.
Still get over 300 television channels and internet.
Though I watch very little, still a huge savings for me.

Just a guess, but I wonder if prices are going up because people are
cutting the cord.  A guy from AT came to my door one night, the
nerve; and wanted to sell me a basic cable package with a $400 gift
card.
I said no thanks.
He wanted to know why I didn't have uverse and I said I didn't like
it, it didn't have what I wanted.  He said so many people are just
streaming now, he was totally amazed that people were getting rid of
their cable.
If the companies were not so darn greedy, it would be different.  AT

RE: Cord cutting adventure continues

[Jeremy Gilley]

Oh,

I don't have direct TV.

Just ordered their normal television.

They are only charging me $90.99 for television, and internet where my cable
was charging me $200.

Still get over 200 channels, and 50 MB  of internet speeds.

I don't do a load of downloading, or uploading, so the speeds are fine with
me.

Apple TV

[Jeremy Gilley]

Good afternoon folks...

 

Was wondering if those of you who use apple television how do you like it?

I am thinking of dumping cable television.

The only reason I have cable is to watch sports and some news.

When football season is over, I actually watch like less then 3 hours of
television during the week, and paying the prices I'm spending for cable is
just gross.

So, I would like to save a couple hundred bucks and drop cable and go for
Apple TV.

So, my question is thus...

1. Can I watch all NFL and college football on it?

2. What news programs can I get on it? like fox news?

3. Does apple TV tell you what's playing and does it come with described
channels or movies?

I currently use Sero as my primary app for described movies and television
programs, but wouldn't mind see them play on the television.

Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Just a spare thought, would the echo assist with the apple television as
well?

Thanks in advance.

I prefer to use the KJV, or the NASB bibles.

RE: Lift and Uber questions

[Jeremy Gilley]

Hello,

I use both lift and uber.
Both are equal to accessibility.
Meaning that both of them are very VO friendly.
As far as trips go in pricing, you have to check with both of them when
scheduling your trip.
You can check trip pricing before confirming the trip.
Sometimes Lift will be cheaper then Uber, other times its reverse.
There is ways to put in your address that your wanting to go, but there is
no slots to request for help to getting inside of a building.
You can just ask your driver the location to the actual building.
Lift has a way that you can request multiple stops.
Uber at this time does not.
You can see if the Uber driver will take you to multiple stops.
Sometimes drivers will, sometimes they won't.

Hello everyone,


I have the Lift App on my phone. But I've never used it. From the looks 
of it, the App seems pretty accessible.

I have a friend who uses Uber, and he says it's accessible.


Is 1 App more accessible than the other?

Also, are there much differences in the prices of trips?

And how do you put in information when you make a trip with either App?

For instance, if you may need some guidance to the building.

Also, does either App do a round-trip sort of deal?


Any help would be appreciated.


Thank you,

Blindfold games news

[Jeremy Gilley]

Just in case you might be interested in reading this bit of troubling
news...


 


Marty's Blindfold games


No more Blindfold Games or Updates 


For those of you not following this issue: Two weeks ago, Apple rejected 3
updates: Blindfold Hopper, Blindfold Craps and Blindfold Horserace, by
saying it violates a new rule of the App Store: apps that vary only by
content (such as video or audio or text) must be merged into one app.  I
explained that these apps are all different, and that only their menus and
settings screens are similar.  I requested a phone call to discuss this
further.  Tap here for details on Apple
 's
rejection.

On Wednesday night, I talked with an Apple representative, and Apple's
decision is that unless I merge the 80 Blindfold Games into a handful of
apps, they will no longer allow new games to be released or allow updates to
be made.

>From a technology perspective, that's extremely hard and time-consuming.
>From a business perspective, that would mean spending hundreds of hours
recoding the games, with no possible return-on-investment.  Most of the
games generate sales in the first three months of the game being released,
and I've been building these games for 4 years.

>From a usability perspective, that means the main menus would be
ridiculously complex, and the settings screens would be confusing and almost
unusable.

If you are unhappy with this decision, you can express your opinion to
Apple.  The accessibility desk is at accessibil...@apple.com or you can call
1-800-MY-APPLE.  Thanks to everyone for enjoying my games.

RE: Hey Siri, Google Assistant is winning the AI game and it's not even close

[Jeremy Gilley]

Makes one wonder if their phone will be better then apple with their AI...
I myself don't need to think about apples pictures, but if googles phone can
out function apples phones with brains, and assistance, might just be
possible.
Though, not sure how it is in accessibility when it comes to other apps.
Might be worth keeping an eye out on their products.

Subject: Hey Siri, Google Assistant is winning the AI game and it's not even
close

Macworld - Wednesday, October 11, 2017 at 4:00 AM
Hey Siri, Google Assistant is winning the AI game and it's not even close
You might have missed the Apple references during last week's Google Pixel 2
event, but they were there. There was VP of Product Management Mario Queiroz
telling the crowd, "We don't set aside better features for the larger
devices." Or pointing out that "even iMessages" would be transferred over
when you decide to switch. And let's not forget the woman taking a big bite
out of an apple during the Pixel 2's intro video.
In fact, it seemed like every new Google product released last week had a
singular message seemingly aimed squarely at Apple. Google might have a long
way to go before it starts selling iPhone-like numbers of Pixel phones, but
there is one important area where it's firmly in the lead, and it has
nothing to do with bezels or beats. It's about intelligence.
At its recent iPhone X event, Tim Cook pulled out Steve Jobs's old Wayne
Gretzky quote about skating to where the puck is going, but there's only one
company that's thinking forward right now and it's not Apple-it's Google.
New hardware might have been the reason for the event, but machine learning
was the strongest undercurrent, and the message Google sent was clear: Our
AI is better than your AI.
Brains before beauty
Google CEO Sundar Pichai kicked off the the Made by Google event by talking
about his favorite topic: machine learning. It's not enough that Google
makes uncannily accurate search algorithms anymore. Google is using its AI
smarts to make its products more responsive and adaptable to each user's
lifestyle.
 Google 
Google Home Mini will put Google Assistant in every room of your house.
It's not about specs (although the Pixel phones have really good ones) or
design (although the Google Home Max will look good in any room). In fact,
none of Google's new products are all that interesting on the surface, but
what's inside is leaps and bounds ahead of what Apple is doing with Siri and
iPhone X. It's about smarts, and Google has integrated Google Assistant and
machine learning into every one of its devices in a, dare I say it,
Apple-like way.
There's the impulse-buy Google Home Mini and the high-fidelity Max to put
Assistant in every room of your house. Active Edge on the Pixel lets you
squeeze the sides of your phone to launch Assistant. And the
Assistant-powered Pixel Buds feature a remarkable live translation feature.
Google's latest products are designed from the inside out to be smarter than
they are pretty, a big bet that consumers are tired of good-looking gadgets
that put form before function. And if it's right, Apple could be playing
catch-up for years to come.
Conversations, not commands
Apple's first home AI speaker won't hit shelves until December, but Google
already has three of them. When it was announced in June, HomePod appeared
to have an advantage over Google Home and Amazon Echo with its
high-fidelity, room-sensing smarts, but now Google Home Max has landed, and
it might be even better.
 Apple 
HomePod intelligently scans your room to deliver the perfect sound.
Like HomePod, Google Home Max uses machine learning to analyze your space to
deliver optimal sound, but Google's method gets more granular and fine-tunes
the sound based on the song you're listening to as well as adjusting based
on Max's surroundings. But if they're even when it comes to sound, the real
difference-maker is Google Assistant.
Apple has improved Siri's speech patterns in iOS 11, but for the most part,
its AI ambitions have been relatively conservative. Google Assistant isn't
just better at recognizing what you're saying, it's more contextual and
conversational, which leads to an all-around better experience. And with the
new routines feature, you'll be able to combine several tasks (like shutting
the lights, setting an alarm, and activating your security system) with a
single phrase. It even recognizes your voice over the other people in your
home. With Siri, commands are islands unto themselves, while Google
Assistant is practically like talking to an actual person.
A smarter camera lens
It was just a year ago when Assistant was limited to Pixel phones and Google
Home, and now it's everywhere: headphones, watches, speakers, not to mention
hundreds of millions of Android phones.

RE: Changes in WatchOS 4

[Jeremy Gilley]

I was going to get the new watch that came out yesterday until I listened to
Mposen's podcast about the watch.
Needless to say, I was disappointed in the new watch.
Siri didn't appear to really work, and it just felt like there were still
too many issues with the watch to spend that kind of money for it.

Hi

I have a problem with Applevis policies because they marked it only as
a minor bug. It is however the most tramendous and heavy bug I have
ever seen in a new update. Most of us who depend on audio on our
devices and certainly those that use their iphone or ipad as a kind of
news ticker just like me are very disappointed. Apple let s down here.

I am so glad I did not update and will not do until these and other
major bugs have been fixed.
I was quite satisfied about the first public releases of ios9 and 10
but this is a very buggy one. I believe they released it in a stressy
hurry not to lag behind competitors.

Davy

It might be of particular interest to folks who have not participated in the
beta program, but even those folks might learn a thing or two. I have used
these books in the past, and found them to be quite helpful, as I like
written documentation better than podcast. I'm not going to make any money
off of this post of course. Just passing along the info. The book is $19.95
and is instantly available now, prior to the release of iOS 11 next Tuesday.
You can go to Moes and consulting.org to pick up that book if you are

RE: upgrading from a 6+

[Jeremy Gilley]

Hello all,

I have made the decision to go from a 6+ to the 10.
Only because my current phone has been giving me way too many problems, and
I am just tired of the frustrations.
I have reset my phone to many times too count, and even apple support is
shaking their heads.
So, time for me to get the bump.
I figure sense I am getting the new phone, for me at least, I Mize well go
for the jump to the 10.
Currently, I can't think of the 10 this year being that much different then
what they might come out with next year.
So, I see myself getting the 10, and probably skipping a year or so until
something new completely blows my mind and I absolutely want that phone lol.
Also picking up a new watch next week and the air pods.
I am really needing the watch for the fitness stuff, and I think its time I
invest in a watch.
I hadn't bothered until now, and with this new one, its time for me to take
a look at them.
With me active in sports, getting a watch will help me keep track of a few
things.

Subject: upgrading from a 6+

hi,

I've since the  september 12 event been thinking about upgrading to atleast 
an 8+ but, my main reason is because I have a 6+ and wonder it'll support 
ios 11 but, how many beyond that.  I seem to recall people mentioning on 
this list that there are generaly a number of upgrades any  phone will take 
in ios before they're not supported.  Upgrading phones is an expensive 
venture.  and I wonder how much longer my 6+ will continue to support the 
ios versions.  Does anyone recall?

Thanks for any help,
Billy Maynard

RE: some uber and lift questions

[Jeremy Gilley]

Good morning,
This is what I've found.

1. Lift can be a tad more expensive from what I have seen, and I use both.
2. Lift drivers actually go through a more thero background check then uber
drivers do.  I've been told this by several lift and uber drivers.
3. At times lift will be surging when uber doesn't, so, this is something to
look out for.
4. I have yet to step into a old and or trashy lift car where I have with
uber. Not to say this can happen, but using both apps several times over the
past year, this is still my opinion.
Lift drivers just seem to appear to be more professional over all then uber
drivers, though I have ridden with very professional uber drivers.
In the end, its everyone's own experiences that helps them decide what app
to use in the end.
Hope this helps.

Hey guys,

OK, i wanted some input here on a few things with uber and lift?  What
1 do you guys like better?  It seems like almost 6 of 1, half dozen of
the other if you know what i mean.  Both apps seem to be accessible.
Also, when you are in a place, how do you usually explain to  the
driver how to find you since you can't see them coming, like if i'm at
the gym or something and need them to pick me u, how would i know it's
their car outside.  Also if anyone has used both, does 1 usually have
a better price than the other?

I hope someone can help me from going insane.

Not sure how, or why, but all of a sudden, in the past couple days, this

Please, does anyone know what this is, and how I can kick it off my phone?

Tune in radio

[Jeremy Gilley]

Hello folks,

 

For the past couple of days, Tune in radio keeps giving me an error, but it
doesn't say what the error is.

It isn't allowing me to play anything.

Now, when I click onto car mode, it only allows me to play my favorites, but
that's it.

I can't search for new stations, books, nothing.

I have a yearly subscription that hasn't even begun to run out. It doesn't
end until next April.

Any suggestions as to why I am getting this error?

Thanks in advance.

You should be able to use tripple click home or SIRI to turn voice over on

while in the app and make the adjustment from the options menu.  Actually,

you can use VO in the game, you just can't make any adjustments to VO 

while

you're in the game.  I haven't used the speech that comes with the app

I did the update earlier in the week.

Doing a triple tap or even a double tap with 2 or 3 fingers doesn't

Siri nor the in voice app doesn't talk.

its because I accidently toggled that dang button that says something about

Everywhere else siri works just fine.

Okay, have you tried pressing home a few times to be sure you're at least 
out of the game and then trying to use SIRI or turn on VO?  Is it possible 
you have VO on, but the speech off?

Otherwise, sounds like reboot time.

You should be able to use tripple click home or SIRI to turn voice over on 
while in the app and make the adjustment from the options menu.  Actually, 
you can use VO in the game, you just can't make any adjustments to VO while 
you're in the game.  I haven't used the speech that comes with the app since

I did the update earlier in the week.

Crafting Kingdom

Hello all,

 

Not sure why, but the first attempt to send this email didn't go through
apparently.

Does anyone know how I can turn assistive mode back on?

I accidently did a triple tap when I was in the app and it toggled the
assistive mode off.

Doing a triple tap or even a double tap with 2 or 3 fingers doesn't toggle
it back on.

Siri nor the in voice app doesn't talk.

Any help would be appreciated thanks.

Not sure if anyone noticed,

but they made some new changes.

I notice they changed some sounds, and now there is a way to start all your
automations in a building at once if you complete a quest in that building.

However, when I went to the quests, I didn't see a quest that mentions that
feature.

Anyways, kind of nice to see that they are still making changes in this
game.

After searching the App Store, it looks like the Space Encounter game
is more feature rich and varying in levels one can choose than the
Blindfold Invaders. And, there's the immediate difference that BF
Invaders is free, and the Space Encounter cost $5 to get. Yes, there
are in-app purchases in the BF Invaders game, but the game itself is
free. Anyway, I'm guessing that the sounds would also be better in
Space Encounters. I played the Blindfold Invaders game, and it
reminded me a little of the 80's space invaders games, in concept and
in sound. I'm not willing to spend the money for the Space Encounter
game, so you will have to go from there with any further differences.
 
Good luck,

not call me anymore? That is their option, not mine as I don't have that

But they do indeed call back. So sorry, but game on.

I have sometimes made some fun when I got calls from telemarketers and if
somebody was too persistent I may have even gotten somewhat rude and asked
them to please just stop calling. However, keep one thing in mind, these are
fellow human beings on the other end of the line and especially if they are
from asia or other regions of the world getting a job like this may be a big
deal for them and they are just doing their job. It's one thing to make more
or less good natured fun, but to actually insult somebody, call them bad
names or make fun because English is not their first language to me goes too
far. There is also a difference between a telemarketing call and an obvious
scam call where somebody let's say tells you they are from Microsoft and
they tell you you have to give them instant access to your computer
otherwise a virus which your computer was infected with will wipe out
everything. I don't feel particularly inclined to be nice to guys like that,
but while I might say that I'm not stupid and hang up on them even here I'd
never call them a f** something.

RE: Uber app experience getting increasingly bad

[Jeremy Gilley]

Refunds are for cancelation charges.
This last driver took off after stating he would not take me.
marked on his app that he picked me up and proceeded with the trip.
When I went into the house to report it and to order another ride, I saw
that I was on a trip.
I then canceled the trip. Got an email saying I paid X amount of dollars on
this trip.
I never bugged uber about anything twice. I didn't have too.
I just contacted the uber support about each driver once. They would contact
me each time about the new driver the next day or 48 hours from then.

On a few occasions, here in Los Angeles, I've have had to report A driver
refusing to take me with my dog. Fortunately, I tend to get many more

to the problem. They can be the most polite agent in the world, but that
doesn't solve the actual issue and I for one would want a lot more if I, for
example, stood somewhere in the middle of the winter at minus 30 and then a
driver showed up and refused to take me.

RE: Uber app experience getting increasingly bad

[Jeremy Gilley]

Hello,
I have always contacted uber support directly through the app.
I have always been contacted with 24-48 hours with the issues of me
reporting service animal issues.
Service animal issues I mean leader dogs, seeing eye dog issues, guide
issues, what ever school you come from.
Personally, they are all the same with different titles lol stating I was
denied a ride.
Always, always always always have I been contacted by an american person
from CA.
They have always been super polite, and have refunded my account with any
charges that have been applied.

I think you need to look at their company info my friend.

Uber drivers also deny guide dogs. Do your research.

Lyft also have a phone number on their website where you can report
these kinds of issues, htlp.uber.com is where you need to go.


The people who work at Uber customer support responding to your messages
are mostly from third world countries, not America.

Not sure how you managed to get 3 managers to call you, you must have
been lucky. But the majority of people who are denied rides due to
having service animals do you get anything besides a generic response
with Uber, and also Lyft.

"Now, all 3 managers also confirmed that when they credit your account with
the credit, they also will notify you of the drivers outcome."

This goes against their privacy policy, according to an agent. So no,
that is not factual.

Lift takes cards, no cash exchanges hands.
Basically, works just like UBER, only they allow you to make tips if you
wish when rading the driver through the ap.

I have been using Uber and very happy with the service. But I would like to 
try Lift sometime. First of all, do you find it difficult to have to use 
cash to pay for your ride and second, will the driver assist you to the door

when reaching your destination? Third is there an option to contact your 
driver before pick-up?

Yes, if you have a choice, definitely use Lyft over Uber. Better

RE: Uber app experience getting increasingly bad

[Jeremy Gilley]

This is total nonsense.
Please don't tell the list this information.
over the past 5 months I have been denied from riders to my seeing eye dog.
Every single time, and I mean every single time when I reported the issue, I
have been contacted by uber support with in 24-48 hours.
None of them had an accent of any kind and have all called me from Cal.
This last time, When I requested to talk directly to a manager, I had not 1,
not 2, but 3 different managers 3 days in a row calling me telling me how
they are implementing a new system.
Now, I don't know about other countries, but I do know that now when a
driver accesses the app, they have to tap ok that they will accept dogs. If
they don't, they don't drive.
IF they tap ok, and they deny you, and you take the time to report it
through the app, and by the way, I used uber tonight and it still is working
great for me.
Anyways, if they see that indeed the driver did accept to take service
animals, the driver is instantly let go, and the rider is given a $25
credit.
I have been complaining so much that I wasn't getting the feed back about
the drivers and what takes place after I reported them.
Now, all 3 managers also confirmed that when they credit your account with
the credit, they also will notify you of the drivers outcome.
So, please don't tell someone to not report something because you believe it
will go to a different country.
They are based here in the states, and that is indeed who I talked too.
Thanks for reading my book, but had to tell my story.

Don't even bother leaving them feedback. Your feedback will be sent to
somebody in India who will give you a canned response and trash the feedback

But yes, the app is absolutely sluggish on iOS. There's not even a way
to rate a driver after a trip accessibly unless you're actually on
another trip, then you'll get the popup.

I know there are people in their "accessibility" team who are working on
the app, but they are doing an absolutely terrible job with it.

Hi,

 

In the most recent Today in iOS Podcast which I listened to this morning at
around the 32 minute mark, Rob mentioned that apparently reliable sources
from Mac Rumours and 9to5Mac said Apple is working on a special iPhone for
the blind with a 20-cell braille display. This may be available as early as
this fall, the braille cells would take up part of the screen, but of course
there still would be a smaller area which accepts the familiar touch
gestures as well and it will be priced similarly to the rumoured iPhone 8 at
just over $1,000 US. Below is a direct link to the Podcast, if you subscribe
to Today in iOS you can quickly skip ahead and start listening at around 32
minutes into the Podcast. I am not much of a braille user myself, but I know
many on this list use braille all the time and this would probably be a big
hit for braille users. Here now the link, if you listen by going to this
link on a computer look for the button Jaws speaks as "Unlabelled 0":

RE: Texas holdem

[Jeremy Gilley]

Odd, I went right to the app that you gave.

Theta poker.

It was like the only option as far as apps goes. it said 3.99.

It also offers to work with apple TV.

Mind, not everyone is good with poker games. I just happen to be a very long
time player of poker games.

Its a combo of skill and luck.

Also, take your time and look at the cards on the table and whats in your
hand.

Not only the suits, but the cards etc.

There are things you can google that tells you the odds of getting said
combo of cards etc.

In toronto the app certainly has many different ride options and perhaps it
is an incorrect assumption on my part that the app is uniform across all
cities.
After entering your destination, swipe to the right to the first tab after
the back button.   
All ride categories are in this tab beginning with Economy options on page
one of four.  
A three fingure swipe to the left will turn the pages of ride categories.  
Swiping to the right on each page will allow you to explore the various
options for each ride category along with the price associated with each
choice.

Folks, the Uber team were clear about how they monitor communication between
drivers and clients because it is within the Uber App. 
If you are refused with a service animal it will only be after you have
confirmation of the ride along with the driver's name, car type and license
plate number.
Uber operates under the same laws as any other drivers for hire including
taxis, therefore, face the same consequences if refusing those of us with
service dogs. 
Selecting Uber Assist will increase the likelihood of getting a more
experienced driver that may be more familiar with disabled clients.
Uber Assist is the same pricing as Uber X and the wait time is usually
inside 10 minutes.

It is the expectation and goal of Uber to make their service available to
all clients, understanding that 100% compliance is what they are striving
for.   
Just like any other service that we use when accompanied by our guide Dogs,
it may well be an opportunity for us to educate.

One of them absolutely yelled her head off at me stating I didn't give her a
heads up, then insisted I bring loads of blankets to cover her intire car
even though the dog was on the floor.
UBER will just talk to the drivers, but I have found out earlier this week
that UBER technically can't do anything to the drivers though UBER will say
they can disallow them from using the platform.
UBER has contacted me when I report it within 24-48 hours, but again, all
they will tell you is that they will talk to the driver.
If the driver charges you a cancelation fee, you will get a credit for that
fee towards your next ride.

I'm not sure sorry, you'd have to check your local shops that sell gift
cards.

Sorry, but here in Ohio, the only options for UBER is UberX and XL.
Never heard of this assist. They don't even offer black or that other option
anymore I forget what it was.

Folks, the Uber team were clear about how they monitor communication between
drivers and clients because it is within the Uber App. 
If you are refused with a service animal it will only be after you have
confirmation of the ride along with the driver's name, car type and license
plate number.
Uber operates under the same laws as any other drivers for hire including
taxis, 
therefore, face the same consequences if refusing those of us with service
dogs. 
Selecting Uber Assist will increase the likelihood of getting a more
experienced driver that may be more familiar with disabled clients.
Uber Assist is the same pricing as Uber X and the wait time is usually
inside 10 minutes.

It is the expectation and goal of Uber to make their service available to
all clients, understanding that 100% compliance is what they are striving
for.   
Just like any other service that we use when accompanied by our guide Dogs,
it may well be an opportunity for us to educate.

I had blocked some numbers a while back, and had removed them from my

contacts one had, and or see that list.

Any help would be appreciated.

RE: issues with uber update

[Jeremy Gilley]

I highly doubt we will see driverless cars out in the public as a every day
normal thing for a while yet lol.
I myself use UBER constently and have had no problems with it.
I also have had to make comments about certain drivers as well with no
problems.

No worries, Keith, driverless cars have cameras, they'll be able to see you
and run you down and I'm sure they'll install a speaker underneath to let
you know your car has arrived once it's on top of you *smile*

Well, if I can't see it it could be 10 feet away and it is the same issue.
If I am somewhere and order a cab I usually tell dispatch that I am visually
impaired and have a guide dog and to please let the driver know they may
need to let me know when they are there. Is there no way to include a
similar comment when you book a ride via the Uber app?

I can't speak for the Uber app or the service as it is only available in a
few cities in Canada, but as far as GPS goes it should be accurate enough
for this purpose. Provided you have a good view of the sky and aren't in a
building or a super-narrow area surrounded by high-rise buildings GPS
accuracy should be 5 meters (about 16 feet) or for sure it should be 10
metres (about 32 feet). This mya not be good enough to find an exact spot,
but good enough for most uses.

I have been getting difficulties with uber since more than one month ago. 
Before I was able to select my pick up in a list of choices, now I have to
find where I am. The current position doesn't work very well, because we
know that GPS are no so accurate. Moreover before I had more control on the
app, but in the last updates uber has done a lot of steps back.

Direct TV Now is swinging for the fences!  Not only are they offering a free
appleTV4 if you commit to 3 months of service, but for a limited time, you
can get over 100 channels for 35 bucks, and add on HBO and cenamax for only
5 bucks each.   That is huge!  Considering HBO is 15 bucks by itself on
appleTV and other cable providers.  Read more here

This has happened to me.
Even the customer has called the driver and asked where they were.
Being that this call was through the car speakers, i could hear both sides
of the call.
The driver explained that he had to drop me off and he would come to get

Hi,
I believe you can turn off the amber alerts at the bottom of the 
notifications settings area under settings but you can't disable government

So for instance if there was a major weather warning or some other

I hope this helps.

RE: Amber Alerts???

Found it.
Go to settings, go to notifications.
Then flick right until you see government alerts. 
The first one past that is amber alerts.

RE: New Sams Club app

[Jeremy Gilley]

So, I found this to be very interesting.

What is preventing someone to scan a few items, and slip smaller items into
their cart with out scanning?

They don't have to see a casheer to verify all items have been paid for?

I don't think the person at the door looks at all the items in the cart and
what was paid for that closely do they?

This just feels like an open door to someone getting away without paying for
everything if they can get away with it.

Anyways, not bashing, just some thoughts that came to mind.

For Sams Club members there is a new app called Scanb to go. It will allow
you to scan your items as you place them in your cart. It will keep a
running total and when you are done you can pay with your phone and show the
receipt on your phone to the person at the door, thus by-passing the
cashier. It is accessible but unfortunately knowing where they place the bar
codes isn't.

Apple watch

[Jeremy Gilley]

Ok,

 

So, I am a guy who likes his toys, but because I like my toys, I tend to not
care of the pricing of them as long as they are well worth the money.

So, the first watch that came out, I didn't think twice about not getting it
because it was just the first version.

I am now thinking of buying the new version, however, something is making me
pause.

Do you think these watches will come out as frequently as the phones?

If so, man, that might be a stinker because I usually get a new phone every
single time they come out with a new one. Buying a watch on top of a new
phone might get nuts. Not to mention expensive.

Thoughts?

I guess if you get a new watch each year, one will learn to sell or put old
watch on E-Bay?

Anyways, for those of you who got version one, and now version 2 of the
watch that just came out, what are your views and or opinions?

Do you think you will get a new watch every single year they come out?

Or is it one of those things you play it by ear as each one comes out. If it
is a massive improvement yeah, but if it is just meh, then you wait?

Anyways, I look forward to views and or opinions.

RE: Uber and Siri?

[Jeremy Gilley]

Guess I am not sure what your looking for.

I have no problems dictating in the pickup section where I need to be picked
up, and flicking right and tapping on destination, dictating where I need to
go etc.

the app is still very blind friendly.

Here is the problem. Voice over is on, but when flicking left and right, it
isn't reading the keypad.

Only cancle and enter pass code.

Any suggestions?

RE: Neato botvac recent app update questions

There are loads of options not found in the app anymore.

Hi,

 

I've recently updated the Neato botvac app.

 

There are some improvements, such as a battery level announcement. But, I'm
running into some problems that I hope someone can help with.

 

In the recent upgrade, I can't seem to find how to select a Spot clean
setting, including whether it should be Eco or Turbo and whether Small or
Large Spot.

 

Can someone explain how to do this?

 

Also, I found something that suggests setting the device up as a blind
person may be possible, now, but I haven't had time to check it for sure.
I'll  try checking this out further and get back if successful.

 

Thanks in advance, Keith

RE: Apple Confirms iOS 9.3.4 Has A Nasty Surprise

[Jeremy]

That article reads like alarmist "click bait." I am running iOS 9.3.4 on my 
phone and not a single problem with VoiceOver and dictation. 

The article seems to also be written by someone with no firsthand experience 
with VoiceOver--it doesn't even seem as though he bothered testing this 
incorrect statements. He never tried turning on VoiceOver and testing for 
himself, he was happy enough with the following information to then write his 
article as though it were scientific fact: 
 
"Having been contacted by several blind users about this problem, they told me 
the only workaround is to turn off VoiceOver, turn on dictation, speak, turn 
off dictation then turn VoiceOver back on. This is about 10 steps and 
unfortunately for the blind, turning off VoiceOver is a very risky move yet 
voice dictation is essential."
 
Oh yeah, turning off VoiceOver, speaking, then turning it back on is actually 3 
steps not 10 nor is it as dangerous as the author believes.

Interesting how not a single message about this issue was posted on this list. 
Dictation may not work in 9.3.4, but it definitely worked in previous iOS 9 
versions since I used it all the time before installing iOS 10 beta so I’m not 
sure why the article says this was broken since the beginning in iOS 9.

Apple Confirms iOS 9.3.4 Has A Nasty Surprise

The iPhone 7 is very close 

  and the all singing all dancing iOS 10 

  will come with it. But right now most iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users are 
on iOS 9.3.4 and Apple   has confirmed 
to me it contains a nasty surprise that, for millions, will never be fixed… 

‘Great Features’ and ‘Nasty Surprises’ are my regular columns investigating 
operating system updates for the best features / biggest problems hidden behind 
the headlines.

The problem in iOS 9.3.4 is an incompatibility between VoiceOver and voice 
dictation which is hitting disabled and, in particular, blind users hard. In 
short: with VoiceOver   
enabled (it describes everything on your screen with a triple press of the home 
button) voice dictation is broken producing duplicate and often muddled words - 
notably when quick replying to messages in the notification centre.

Having been contacted by several blind users about this problem, they told me 
the only workaround is to turn off VoiceOver, turn on dictation, speak, turn 
off dictation then turn VoiceOver back on. This is about 10 steps and 
unfortunately for the blind, turning off VoiceOver is a very risky move yet 
voice dictation is essential. 

Perhaps the most interesting aspect to all of this, however, are claims this 
feature has been broken since the original launch of iOS 9 in September 2015 
and Apple has not attempted to fixed it in any subsequent upgrade. 

In response I contacted Apple and the company confirmed to me the fault does 
exist in iOS 9.3.4, though it would not say if the bug could be traced back 
further. Apple also had good and bad news for affected users.

 VoiceOver is iOS is crucial for disabled iPhone and iPad users, but it breaks 
voice dictation - an equally important feature for them. Image credit:

The good news is the bug will be fixed in iOS 10 (and is already fixed in the 
latest iOS 10 public beta). The bad news is there are no plans to fix the bug 
in iOS 9 and with iPhone 4S, iPad Mini, iPad 3rd gen and iPod touch 5th gen 
users not entitled to iOS 10 upgrades, users of those devices will be left with 
the bug until they buy something new.

Needless to say this won’t be a problem

Yeah,

For someone who uses dictation a lot, I have never came across this problem.

Guess I am just lucky that there is no bug in my version though I have the
latest version.

Needless to say this won't be a problem for many users who upgrade
regularly, but as one blind user told me: typically their need to have the
latest cutting edge products is greatly diminished. 

Consequently if Apple can fix the bug in iOS 10, I'd argue the company
should also fix it in iOS 9 before leaving a generation of devices and a
subset of users stranded. This would be a commendable way to sign off an
version of iOS well known for its high

profile problems, before the company moves on to its latest and greatest
iPhone and iOS plans...
