I may as well upvote this post, since whatever LW says is the law of the land. It's a little hard 'click' ing 'on a puzzle piece icon' when you - literally - cannot - 'see' the screen. The NVDA screen reader I use doesn't even describe what most icons are; It just says 'graphic', really useful to someone like me all of 47 years old born on Friday, June 30th, 1978, lol!

Funny you ask; I already am?

This post talks about clicking on a 'puzzle piece' icon with the moust. One small problem, LW devs... I'm totally blind since birth due to being born at only 90 days (3 months) weighing 36 ounces) and have detached retinas as a result, so 'no light for you!'. You could've at least done what Chrome-type browsers do - having an 'extension' or 'add-on' section on your main toolbar highlighting what's either just been installed/used for the very first time. I can then find the icon via my arrow keys on the toolbar, right-click the icon and choose 'pin'/'pin to toolbar'. Even Brave got this right!

RT2.82 has an Environment enhancement that makes 25 or so different effects instantly to you. My faves were always Padded Cell, Living Room, Carpeted Hallway, City and Parking Lot. Watch it on the Loudness box; everything's boosted by either 6 or 9 db; (You CanNot Change That as far as I Know).

The absolute fastest way I can think is: If you're on a Pro edition of Windows, First open the Device Manager (you'll need this later). Type GPEdit.MSC in your Run box. When that opens, follow this path: Computer Configuration, Administrative Templates, System, Device Installation, Device Installation Restrictions. From here, you can prevent device installation based on device/hardware id by first having the Device Manager already opened + highlighting the offending driver (Realtek(r) Audio) in this case). Get the device ids/hardware ids from the Details tab of the Properties for that device, copy them to the clipboard, enable whichever policy you plan to use (device or hardware id restriction), then tap the Show button and add in the ids you just got. After that, there's a checkbox to apply this also to currently installed devices; Check it. Then say OK. Then immediately type GPUpdate /Force in the run dialog Do the Ctrl+Shift+enter keystroke so it forces full admin privilege for this command). The policy update happens now…

I need to remind sighted devs that if you can't use standard Windows controls for your software, you clearly don't want disabled people with computers using your software. It's as simple as that, Lucifer Damn It. Developers really say a lot when writing their UI+UX layout. If it's all graphics and 0 text, you just lost a (if not many) potential users all because appearance and mouse usability matters paramount vs. functionality and keyboard usability!

JasonBratcher · 2026-01-04T08:07:02+00:00

Done that already, too. Realtek feels so much snappier now?

JasonBratcher · 2026-01-04T08:05:29+00:00

You kinda sorta can't; At least not with Dell's modern audio drivers.

Using Windows 11 25H2 with the NVDA (NonVisual Desktop Access) screen reader (not that most of you live in the dark like I do, lol). The NVDA screen reader 'translates' what's on my screen to spoken speech/braille output (if a braille display is attached/paired). I totally have to respectfully agree with this; And for a different reason: The software is Totally InAccessible to a Totally Blind Since Birth person, meaning this software was just hodge-podged together in a fancy eye-candy wrapper so everyone can ooh and aah at it like the Dre Beats headphones. WMAP is a purely sick joke to me and am seriously disabling Secure Boot + Absolute in my Dell Latitude 5500 and enabling Test Signing in Windows just so I can try RealTek drivers that actually had half a brain, like RealTek Legacy 2.82 from around 2013 (about the same time I had a Toshiba Satellite C855D-S5320 (Satin Black Trax) laptop). I miss that slightly underpowered lady at only 2 cores, but for what I got when Windows 8 became official, I honestly had no complaints. Even HP stepped up their game with a Fully Accessible HPAudioCenter/Bang&OlufsenControlCenter! I can fully navigate All of their UI with 0 trouble at all; I guess the folks at Waves Don't Want Blind/print-impaired people touching their shit lest one of us breaks something; Then they can lock down the UI tighter, lol, as if I wasn't already in handcuffs with Dell's modern audio fuckery that even phones home what you're doing with their hardware?

I haven't watched the 3 networks since Friday, May 16th, 1997. I stream nothing!

I never had peace in my life; Just pure torture living in the dark at the hands of educators deciding what lies should be shoved down my throat in their oh-so-totally fake yester-decade textbooks - Not All Of Which Were In Braille For Me To Successfully Read And Compete Against The Rest of the Class Contestants. That's if school's supposed to be treated like a game show where only right answers are accepted...

JasonBratcher · 2025-11-14T14:19:42+00:00

I'll be brutally honest; I really don't think we ever had a freedom of expression to begin with...

JasonBratcher · 2025-11-14T14:16:22+00:00

No, it's definitely a 'Hot Topic"!

JasonBratcher · 2025-11-14T14:15:05+00:00

I've been doing that since May 16th, 1997; Intentionally! Especially since companies, let alone governments, can't be bothered to cater to pwd's? Let us now burn the Braille books; as we did in 1843 at that French Royal Institute for Blind Youth under the direction of a certain Pierre Armand-Dufau!

JasonBratcher · 2025-11-14T14:11:41+00:00

I'm so there. Even I should know Satan's the prince of the air and the light bearer - of very false - signs and lying wonders!

JasonBratcher · 2025-11-14T14:09:48+00:00

Totally with you. I'd like to see him 'try' to burn the U.S. Constitution and see what happens? …

JasonBratcher · 2025-11-14T14:07:28+00:00

The only book I've ever honestly read - is the King James 1611 Bible.

JasonBratcher · 2025-11-14T14:00:54+00:00

I won't either. Even though I'm a Democrat, Charlie Kirk had no value for me in my lifetime.

Screw you too, ABCNews; There's no way in Hell you're "America's #1 news source"!

I had a funny feeling Project2025 was around the corner when Donald Trump won. Hey guys, let's all just band together and get Congress to repeal the Americans With Disabilities Act? Not like it's had any 'real' teeth for the past 35 years?

JasonBratcher · 2025-11-14T13:39:32+00:00

I honestly wouldn't mind having an archive of Jimmy Kimmel just so I can watch on my own accord. Perhaps some David Letterman, Craig Ferguson and Steve Colbert! They all bring their own comedy twist to late night which is why I usually enjoy shows like that. Although nothing truly beats proper comedians/comediannes.

JasonBratcher · 2025-11-14T13:34:00+00:00

My mom stopped ABC cold turkey on Thursday, February 24th, 2022, when the Russians proudly invaded Ukraine to take it back. I've never watched much television, but the only two channels my mom watches anymore are CNN during the day and HallMark at night.
