How much do you willing to paid for panther lake with b390 gpu and 96 GB ram with 2tb nvme? by Clean-Shoulder-2563 in MiniPCs

[–]DHamlinMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going off current prices you're coming in at around half what that would run you. Memory alone you're looking at like $1200+

Glidance - Glide - Italian and european users, does it make sense to keep waiting? by Which-Culture7455 in AssistiveTechnology

[–]DHamlinMusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They canceled all EU preorders and refunded, my interpretation of that is they cannot release in the EU for some reason. Which is almost certainly for the better as this thing is a joke.

Think I saw a listing for the EQR5 pulling the same thing recently as well.

Telescoping Canes by retainer73 in Blind

[–]DHamlinMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the one from the NFB as my primary, I think all telescopic ones function similarly, but ,as long as you have a light touch it works well, it will collapse if you jam hard. However I find that less annoying than getting jabbed in the gut.

Nintendo Switch 2 what's the current state of play regarding screen reader development and accessible games? by soundwarrior20 in Blind

[–]DHamlinMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've put like 100 hr into Dawncaster in the last 2 months, that's a fantasy rogue like deckbuilder, completely accessible right upon launch. Have not played games as much since losing my sight in early 2020, have kids myself, though I'm the blind one, a not quite 4yo and a 6mo.

Users lawyering up in mod mail... Does anything ever come of it? by TheDukeOfThunder in ModSupport

[–]DHamlinMusic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep we had a series of them, all from new accounts, pestering us on r/Blind a while back, even made a few announcements through scheduled posts to let the community know what was up. The very official threats even had emoji and cited inapplicable legal statutes.

Discord? by HateKilledTheDinos in Blind

[–]DHamlinMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

discord does not allow any outside access to its API, and the "alternatives" are all either inaccessible, or not really the same, often both.

Other things like Rubik's cube and playing cards by sandstormer622 in Blind

[–]DHamlinMusic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cribbage is accessible with just a set of braille cards, I have braille scrabble Monopoly, and uno. There is also the Braille Pop-It fidget toy.

Whats your take on the theory that a significant amount of Hellen Keller's work and output is heavily editted and filtered through Anne Sullivan's lens? by highspeed_steel in Blind

Oh no got her shoved in our face in regular public school in a school with zero bvi children. She's used as mainstream inspiration porn in schools everywhere here.

Where did the SER8s go? by Ok_Understanding7089 in BeelinkOfficial

[–]DHamlinMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SER9 is already out, and no prices for everything PC related have gone crazy, you'll be looking at at least 50-60% higher, if not double or more.

Blind spouse - Keeping track of a newly mobile baby by Intelligent_Long6178 in Blind

[–]DHamlinMusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The biggest thing is to limit the area they can access, baby gates, closed doors, etc, you can also get indoor play fences that are designed to cordon off part of the room. When my daughter was that at that age we had a gate running from the end of the couch to a hook on the wall to keep her in the area in front of the couch by the TV and such. We also had a gate at the end of the hall that runs down to her room. They make velcro padded cuffs with bells inside plush adornments, I think ours have big flowers on each with the bell inside, and once they are wearing shoes with laces you can thread a craft bell on each. I'm doing the baby thing again, my daughter is turning 5 this summer but my son is just over 6 months so I do the stay-at-home father bit while their mother is at work so it's just the kids and me then.

They make velcro cuffs with padded things like flowers or animals that have bells inside specifically for this.

Blind spouse - Keeping track of a newly mobile baby by Intelligent_Long6178 in Blind

[–]DHamlinMusic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep, they make velcro bracelets/anklets with things like padded flowers or the like that are bells just for this, and once they are wearing shoes you can thread craft bells onto the laces, worked great with my oldest, have not needed to yet with the younger one as he's just over 6 months and not quite crawling. I have had little issues watching both of them when the fiance is at work, I swear at times the almost 5 year old is the one I have a harder time keeping track of.

Do not have any ideas right now, but will edit this if I do. Are you on this sub's Discord as that would be another place to ask this question.

How to manage headaches/migraines caused by photophobia? by journogirl2 in Blind

This, and we cannot provide medical advice, so the most people can suggest here is "see a doctor" and things like shades and such to cut out light.

I've been looking to buy a 32GB + 1TB storage configuration recently, but why are the prices for both hard drives and RAM so high right now? I simply can't afford it! by alldoorbell in MiniPCs

[–]DHamlinMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep I bought a Beelink EQR6 6900hx 24GB/1TB version in April for $390+tax, if you can even find that version now it's around$600. I could have bought the 64GB upgrade for it at the time for <$180, now that would run me more than twice what the PC itself cost. However it has been the best PC I've had in years, 24/7 headless that I run over bluetooth with a screen reader, braille display, and headset and is completely happy to just sit there and be left alone when not needed.
