To give you guys the same answer I gave my girlfriend and everyone else who has asked me this question, no, I cannot give you product unboxing videos. I do not want to go to jail. Prison orange is not my color, and that would utterly ruin my chances of ever being on jeopardy. They won’t take you if you’re a criminal.

Is it normal to have a soft spot for the first game you ever played, even though it makes you rage and want to throw every piece of technology you own because of the stupid platforms?

When I have a choice, any braille display, I get will have no fewer than 32 cells. Anything smaller in your left with more empty holes than actual text in my personal experience. I went most of the way through high school with 18. Got an upgrade to 32 for about three months before I had to give it back.

I think I got WhatsApp to take my Google voice number. I manage to sideload the android version. Thanks to the Windows subsystem thingy. If anybody needs my WhatsApp, I may just move to that one.

Do any of you know if something like the BrailleSense U2 or one of those older gadgets would work better with my phone? If so, how much does one in decent condition typically go for so I know how much I need to save up? I define decent condition as it actually turns on and operates. If it doesn’t look pretty, I don’t care. If one dot is slightly wonky, big deal.

You know, with places like the Nfb, having such my way, or the highway philosophies, one of us should create an organization with the philosophy of doing what works for you. I think if we did that we would have a lot of people and we would be able to help a lot of people.

This looks a little shady to me. Post directly copied and pasted out of my Reddit client with permission from the original author, /u/smarthome_fan
In addition to the financials, I have serious concerns about the privacy practices of Voice Dream Reader.
You should keep in mind that blind people don't only use this app to read commercial books. If you're like me, you probably put everything from your own home recordings to personal journals to work-related notes in there. So you might want to check which sites Voice Dream is actually communicating with.
Under settings>privacy>App Privacy Reports, you can check which domains app developers are contacting in their apps. There is virtually no downside to having this on, and it provides lots of insights into what developers are doing.
Before we get to the bad stuff, here's an example of a GOOD app: my password manager, Strongbox. It contacts the following domains, only: graph.microsoft.com, and login.microsoftonline.com. This is all good, because my password database is stored in OneDrive, so it has to be able to connect to Microsoft servers to sync it.
Now let's look at our old friend, Voice Dream Reader. Here's a sample of what domains it's contacted: api.onesignal.com, ⁦‪api.revenuecat.com‬, ⁦‪api.superwall.me‬, ⁦‪api2.amplitude.com‬, ⁦‪builder-templates.superwall.com‬, ⁦‪cdn.superwall.me‬, ⁦‪collector.superwall.me‬, ⁦‪gateway.icloud.com‬, ⁦‪graph.facebook.com‬, ⁦‪inappcheck.itunes.apple.com‬, ⁦‪o416041.ingest.sentry.io‬⁩, ⁦‪oauth.reddit.com‬, ⁦‪ocsp.pki.goog‬, ⁦‪voicedream.herokuapp.com‬.
There are more, I just got tired of pasting each domain into this message.
I would like to suggest that we take a pause and consider why this app needs to be contacting all these places. Out of all those places, the only domains I think it should be contacting are the iTunes and iCloud ones. They are needed to validate app purchases, and sync data from iCloud. The rest look like a massive amount of tracking, revenue and analytics sites, please correct me if I'm wrong, including none other than Facebook and Reddit. In addition, the app asks you to opt into ad tracking when you install it, and if you subscribe, they take your Email and other personal info which they would be able to associate with whatever data they're transmitting with all those domains. The developer also tracks you with a unique ID, you can see this if you contact support and look at the pre-filled Email.
Since the app provides no cloud locker or other server based features that are personalized to you, there is in my opinion, no need to have an account at all, no need to take your personal info and absolutely no need to be contacting a plethora of tracking and analytics sites or even the developer's own domain. There is no upside whatsoever for you, the end user.

So how can I let people know my server rules in a consistent fashion? It’s not hard. Just behave and don’t invite the stalker
