Re: bar instead of function keys on new Mac Book Pros?

Oh. With FileVault, you first boot into the recovery partition. Whilst Command+F5 gets you something that talks you through the prompts and calls itself VoiceOver, it’s likely a set of canned sound samples (remember, you’re only being prompted for your username and password, so you don’t

Re: Hosting a website on a Mac Mini?

Thanks guys. I went ahead and signed up with them a couple hours ago, and I have to agree that it's been quite easy. The only problem was that my card wasn't accepted because they don't support that bank, but VO didn't detect the popup displaying the problem so I had to open a ticket with them.

Re: Hosting a website on a Mac Mini?

I use them all the freaking time, and swear, and I do mean, swear! by them! Accessibility is steller on their web site. So much so, that when I wrote them to commend them, they told me flat out that they were 100% commited to following W3C standard, and following all accessibility guidelines.

DigitalOcean works very well with Voiceover. There are some minor issues but they are easily worked around. Sorry I don’t remember them at the moment, but I had no major problems. Brandon > On Jun 11, 2016, at 8:58 PM, Alex Hall wrote: > > I didn't realize Digital Ocean

Re: Hosting a website on a Mac Mini?

I didn't realize Digital Ocean was that cheap. If you, or anyone, has used them before, do the web interface and other aspects work with VO/Safari? Any accessibility things I need to know about? It's an ongoing cost, but it's small, and I don't have to worry about firewalls, ports, or other

Unfortunately for your position around touchscreens, they are much simpler to use for the sighted. Touchscreens have been tested across multiple industries, and in all cases which I have researched, they lower customer support from an average of 12% - 15%, to 3% - 5%. Sighted people are overall

Re: bar instead of function keys on new Mac Book Pros?

Well, to be sure, I do think the touchscreen was a step back, but not because of accessibility—well, not as much for accessibility. My primary complaint with touch-screens (or, really, touch-anythings) has been the visualisation of information, which inevitably leads to trivialisation as it

Re: bar instead of function keys on new Mac Book Pros?

For your information, I have tried touch bars on computers. No, it wasn't a Mac, it was a Windows machine. It had standard function keys, but it also had a touch sensitive strip for things like controlling Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, volume, etc. It was an absolute pain in the ass, so I would appreciate

So I wouldn’t do this unless it’s a dedicated machine.  You can do things to limit your exposure but the fact is if you have the server on the public internet and your personal data is in it then it’s exposed.  You really should keep them separate.  That being said if you want to do it, there’s

You should be just fine. Just make sure you open port 80 on your router/firewall, and port forward it to the private IP of your mac. I actually would either get OSX server, or get Mamp. Mainly because that way you'll also have access to php, and to My SQL in case you need them. ---
