Good morning, I am a Prime Video subscriber. I received an email today announcing a new series for this fall, The Rings of Power, The Lord of the Rings. The show will not be on the air until September 2, 2022, but there is a trailer. When I went to the web site to check out the trailer,

RE: how to create a group text

No, I was assuming, and we know what a risk that is, that you already had these folks in your contacts. If they are not in your contacts, I would put at least one of them in the contacts so you have a name when in the messages app and not just a bunch of numbers. You cannot put multiple

RE: how to create a group text

Keep adding people in the to field. When you have all five entered, send a text. Now, when any of them answer, it will go to all five people. You will be able to find that group when you begin to write to any one of them, if you flick right to the results the group should be there. At

If that is a fast charging brick, yes, and if it is at least twice the size of the older standard charging brick, it probably is, but it would help to know the brand and model of the brick to be sure. Richard “One can’t be angry when one looks at a penguin.” ~ John Ruskin My

RE: Weird vibration in iOS 15.to

Barbara, I think what you are dealing with is the “No item discovered” setting under: settings, accessibility, VoiceOver, Audio, Sounds and Haptics, and there is a ton of new things you can set sound and haptics for. One of them is No Item Discovered. Seem if turning off the haptic in there

RE: Mbraille question

Are you using contracted braille? I’d turn off speak characters. I use away mode with contracted braille and only have words being echoed. You also want to check the setting about how much of the display the app is using. I don’t remember exactly what it says, but you may be getting

Open the file in Voice Dream. Double tap on Document at the top. Double tap on export. You'll have choices there, pick one, then pick mail, and follow the prompts. I think you will have to do them one at a time. Richard “One can’t be angry when one looks at a penguin.” ~ John Ruskin My web

RE: BARD Express and BARD NLS on a Windows computer

For me, I usually do just use the app for finding books and adding to the wish list. But, if my phone is in the other room on the charger, etc., BARD Express is brilliant for adding books to the wish list. I would hate the addition of anything social media like. If it were a completely

Have you done a reboot? I think the SE 2020 works like the newer phones where you press and release the volume up, then press and release the volume down then hold in the side button about 8 or 10 seconds and release and wait for it to come back on. The first two steps need to be done

RE: BARD and the Locked screen

Thanks Duane, Yes, I find BARD and braille to be a challenging combination. My only theory as to why the BARD app has this problem is either the phone resources get low which Apple will deny, or it is Gremlins. I personally lean toward the Gremlins explanation. . Later, Richard “One
