Re: Apple store now stocking accessibility items

I think the part of it for VR is that the Focus displays are among the few left that don't have onboard memory or note taking capabilities, which is an important thing when wanting to use one at work. The Focus 40 Blue is a great choice though for a braille display, but I wish there could be

I bought a lightning cable from Walmart maybe four or so months ago. The protective layer around the wires is like any other chord, and has lasted me a long while, so the most expensive aren’t always the best. Sent from my Mac. Devin Prater d.pra...@me.com > On May 14, 2016, at 1:37 AM,

I'm in the same boat there, I use the reverse panning feature when I use the braille display, at least in Jaws where it is available. I'm sure that is something FS could include in a firmware update to put in that configuration menu to send the command for right pan when you hit the left

There is a new braille display coming out, don’t know when but it’s a joint project between RNIB and other specialist providers. I’ve read that these braille displays are going to cost £250 (not sure that will be in dollars) but these displays are going to be affordable for any person who is

Never had this problem. My Cable is left plugged in to the wall and the end which plugs into the phone is left plugged in to my Cradle. If I do take it anywhere, one end is left in the cradle and the other is left in its plug so all I do is plug it straight in to the wall socket and thus far

Hi Mark, Looks like a good plan you use. I had been thinking about doing encrypted backups and will as soon as I figure out why it does not like my password. Here is what I am confused about. Since iOS 9, apps that one installs on an iDevice no longer transfers to the iTunes library.

Sabahattin, I think this option you mention, to hide apps in Purchased in the iTunes app, is only available if one bought apps from there? For after I learned how to reach this option, its not there, I only see Redeem Code or Account Info. So this means I cannot transfer apps to iTunes

I wonder how these new displays stack up to what we have now, besides having a lower price? For some uses, having them louder and/or slower might not matter too much, but for work situations, something making constant noise during brake time while the press ctrl-alt-del prompt flashes cells up

That may have been the culprit on my end as well. I use an external battery pack, that’s somewhat large, and when I’m getting ready to carry it somewhere, I rap the cable around the pack itself, which is square-shaped, and put it into my bag, and when the cable messed up, it almost looked on
