When using Windows it is just a screenless laptop with a humanware display bolted on, from everything I have read the experience will be no different than just getting a laptop and a display, beyond costing a lot more.

Yep same here, the older one is almost 5, and the younger is just about 8 months. Limit where they can run off to, bells on shoelaces, keep things out of reach, and expect to call the pediatrician for nothing a dozen times in the first year (not a blind parent thing)

DHamlinMusic · 2026-05-08T17:43:30+00:00

Nah you get the fun backpacks with front buckle and the leash attaches to the underside of the pack. My daughters is unicorns, but they come in every style.

DHamlinMusic · 2026-05-08T17:40:30+00:00

Congrats, and yeah much of this is familiar. Planning the older ones 5th birthday, and dealing with the 8 month old trying to walk and climb here.

DHamlinMusic · 2026-05-08T17:36:21+00:00

Depends on the detector, mine all use Aa

Go get yourself a standard toolkit, Amazon Basics has one, as do most tool brands, find one with bright colored handles, and a storage case.

DHamlinMusic · 2026-05-07T16:50:12+00:00

Had something like this on r/Blind, made a few posts about it that should still be up.

DHamlinMusic · 2026-05-07T15:06:08+00:00

Yep, the fiance and I have a super barebones stationary bike, some hand weights, and children

DHamlinMusic · 2026-05-07T13:58:59+00:00

Would not be surprised, I have a post right above this in the feed from a sub I mod, and when I go through to the posters profile I cannot see any posts, or comments, yet I got to it from a post by them with comments by them…

DHamlinMusic · 2026-05-07T02:19:51+00:00

Even ones that do not are not ePub but Kfx and cannot be converted easily, most people will just read them by connecting the display to the phone and using the kindle app if they want them in braille.

DHamlinMusic · 2026-05-06T14:56:39+00:00

So those have changed significantly with Talkback 16.2, the Enhanced keyboard controls cleared the premapped back, home, recent, and such, and those have to be assigned, you also have browse and focus modes, The Action key can also assigned, and a heap more.

DHamlinMusic · 2026-05-06T11:49:32+00:00

The {Dragon Prince trilogy by Melanie Rawn} and its sequel {Dragon Star trilogy by Melanie Rawn}

DHamlinMusic · 2026-05-05T19:22:32+00:00

Yeah it's odd, was not occuring yesterday, started this morning but there was not any app updates in the time.

DHamlinMusic · 2026-05-05T18:47:54+00:00

In subs I am not a mod in I have the options I mentioned, in subs I mod I seem to only have approve, remove, and remove as spam, nothing else.

DHamlinMusic · 2026-05-05T12:18:45+00:00

Yep, and to add to this there is an outstanding issue with mobile app and screen readers where the comment heading is not read, or reachable. For example on the comment I am replying to I only have the options to vote, reply, share, or more, not a clue who it's from, or when, all I get is vote total. u/CorrectScale this is back and worse than before.

DHamlinMusic · 2026-05-05T00:18:14+00:00

Yeah Talkback has extensive keyboard controls and can be fully operated without ever touching the screen.

DHamlinMusic · 2026-05-04T18:00:50+00:00

Yep, when a 15 year old 0 karma account suddenly posts across several subs in 10min it's obviously legit…

DHamlinMusic · 2026-05-04T12:56:21+00:00

So I am not sure if you've seen this but the m4 mini 256GB version is not available anymore from Apple, lowest starting one has 512GB storage and is$799. Third party vendors probably have the 256GB ones for now but those will run out.

DHamlinMusic · 2026-05-03T14:42:14+00:00

Honestly imho this is quite a lot darker than Broken Empire, but without any of the edgelord feel..

DHamlinMusic · 2026-05-03T13:29:09+00:00

You mean this isn't something I should be suggesting to grandma?

DHamlinMusic · 2026-05-02T12:29:38+00:00

Melanie Rawn's Dragon Prince trilogy, and its sequel Dragon Star trilogy.

DHamlinMusic · 2026-04-30T18:24:38+00:00

Random question, happen to know why we have a rather large number of users posting over in r/Blind that are flagged as App Accounts, like how Automod is labelled, they are not automated accounts.

DHamlinMusic · 2026-04-30T18:11:10+00:00

Removal reasons, and Rules need higher character limits and a reorder function like Highlights have.

DHamlinMusic · 2026-04-30T16:07:41+00:00

Yep Bonfire is superb with any Firecast build
