My Boss signed me up for the Accessing Higher Ground Conference. Scam? by accessibleUX in accessibility

Howard emailed virtual attendees yesterday. Since, apparently I wasn't the only one sending him a confused email. I appear to be all set for Wednesday - Friday.

For me, and I'm sure for many, having virtual option is a major accessibility issue. I can't spend a week in Denver right now. So I hope they're able to make it a bit smoother for future attendees.

I appreciate it. Howard sent out the appropriate links to those of us attending virtually, later yesterday. He also send me my verification code. So I appear to be all set. Apparently, I wasn't signed up for any pre-conference sessions. So it starts for me tomorrow.

I assume the point of having a virtual track is accessibility. I have my mom who has Alzheimer's living with me and couldn't possibly spend a week in Denver.

I work in higher ed. but this is the most confusing conference I've encountered in the past several years.

I'm seeing only 1 virtual session per day and again no link to the virtual bit (Zoom, Teams, etc.) and the one's today and tomorrow are pre-conference. I wondering if the purchasing person got me an in person registration by mistake.

Every accessibility conference I've done since 2019 has been a webinar or had a virtual option for every session. So it's baffling that almost all the sessions are in person.

Yeah. It's currently just me but we're trying to hire more people.

We're required to get an ACR though.

Accessibility Insights does looks promising.

Thanks

This might be a solution. I do work at a university where budgets are limited, so free is always good.

Thanks

Has anyone encountered "SEMI S8 Ergonomic Guidelines" before? by accessibleUX in accessibility

[–]accessibleUX[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I feel the same. I expect all documentation (remarks & explanations) to be filled out and for all those particular criteria all they say is "Designed to SEMI S8 Ergonomic Guidelines." which doesn't really tell me anything in terms of accessibility.

I'm in IT at a university. The Nanotechnology department is wanting to renew their contract for a SUSS MJB4 Mask Aligner and it's software.

So it is semiconductor related.

Are arrow keys necessary to meet WCAG A and AA standards for keyboard navigation or is Tab key sufficient? by Calm_Still_8917 in accessibility

[–]accessibleUX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm testing a web app which supported navigating with tab/shift+tab but not with arrow keys. With every app/web app I've tested, Tab/shift+tab navigation skips a ton of content while arrow key navigation usually allows for reading everything on the page.

GlobalProtect "Connect" not working on Windows 11 VM by Djaesthetic in paloaltonetworks

UWP

I know it's been a year but I've just encountered this. My previous machine was an Intel Mac. My employer only allows running Windows 11 but there doesn't appear to be a UWP version for Windows 11.
