Re: Alexa, Play Some Music: All the Alexa Music Commands

Well, for the record, the posted link works just fine in Lynx too. Still, I have a question? I do not own an echo, and if alexa's voice is the one I have come across from Amazon she sounds rather unpleasant speaking personally, but I prefer male voices in general. Is there a way to change

Re: A question about Gmail, again

hello, I don't remember exactly which folders you were indicating as missing. Apple mail does do some renaming of folders so that Spam becomes junk and bin becomes trash. Also, the favorites area in Monterey has fewer items in it by default then on earlier Mac OS's. Jonathan

Re: Contracted braille

hello Yes you could try asking Apple Accessibility support, but often they are generalist that don't know the specifics of braille tables. What are the issues you are seeing? Unfortunately, I know nothing about the UK braille tables, though I do remember reproducing an error somebody else had.

Alexa, Play Some Music: All the Alexa Music Commands

Hello Everyone, Continuing my immersion into the world of Alexa's Music abilities with Amazon Music as well as third-party services, including Apple Music, I found an article that discusses virtually all of the Alexa music-related voice commands now available in the Alexa app and Echo devices

Re: 12 Watt Charger and MacBook Pro

Joseph, Thanks for putting in this effort. I realized after your first message that of course, the output voltage for a MacBook charger would be much higher than for an iPhone. The web page you sent confirms that it is nominally 20 Volts dc. This is required to charge the MacBook, regardless

Re: 12 Watt Charger and MacBook Pro

Actually Dave, I just did some googling and it's actually lower than what we thought. Here's the result that I just looked at below. So you could actually search for one of these. Mind you I don't have a new Mac yet. And it's still not something I'm not sure if I'm gonna do yet.

Re: 12 Watt Charger and MacBook Pro

Joseph, oh, heck. I completely forgot to think about voltage. Pretty likely the MacBook requires something in the range of 12 to 16 Vdc, and the phone chargers are only around 5 Vdc. Thanks for the sanity realignment. Dave Carlson Oregonian, Engineer, Musician, Farfar, Woodworker, and Pioneer

Re: 12 Watt Charger and MacBook Pro

Dave, I will check the voltage on the battery before using that particular block. That might make the Mac complain. > On Nov 7, 2021, at 12:10 PM, Dave Carlson wrote: > > Anyone know if I would be able to charge a MacBook Pro using the 12 Watt > charger that comes with the newer iPhones? I

Re: Contracted braille

Yes, I have added a new english UK Liblouis braille table in VoiceOver Utility, but if I select it in the rotor, the problem with the contracted braille there is staying. I have tried remove and add an English table in the VoiceOver Utility, but the problem isn’t solved. And this problem apears

12 Watt Charger and MacBook Pro

Anyone know if I would be able to charge a MacBook Pro using the 12 Watt charger that comes with the newer iPhones? I would of course buy a USB C / USB C cable for this purpose. And I know that it would charge more slowly, but don’e know if the MacBook would complain. Dave Carlson Oregonian,

Re: Contracted braille

Have you tried a different contraction table, e.g., liblouis, in the settings under VoiceOver Utility? Once you’ve added a contraction table, you need to use the rotor to select it. From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com on behalf of Tibor Niesner Date: Sunday, November 7, 2021 at 11:42 To:

Re: In latest WatchOs, how do I turn off. sleep mode when I wake up early?

I'm interested in knowing the same thing. It seems if I do it on the phone after a certain time it will let me turn off Sleep mode. If I do it before this time just the focus mode gets disabled. Best, Doug This message has been sent from a mobile device. Email: doug.law...@gmail.com > On

A bug in Focus Mode on the Mac

Using a Mac-book pro 2019. I was playing around with the Focus mode in Monterey and when adding an app to allowed apps or an automation, mine will only read so far down the list. In my case, I can get as far as the home app, then afterwards it says empty cell for the remainder of my apps. Has

In latest WatchOs, how do I turn off. sleep mode when I wake up early?

Hi all, So it used to be that if I woke up before my alarm went off, I could just turn off sleep and all was well. But, since upgrading too latest Watch OS, that no longer works. All it does is turn off the focus. How do I actually turn off sleep mode, so that my alarm goes off, and my
