It is a total shame that windows gives you an option to use safe mode with networking, but not safe mode with sound. In the cases of those of us who need it, safe mode should have a totally different title. That title is useless mode.

Dear game developers, if you are going to add a screen reader accessibility plug-in to your game, requiring cited assistance to enable the thing kind of defeats the purpose. The whole idea is to be able to play the game without any assistance from other people. Looking at you, BitLife.

I'm going to confess something I probably shouldn't have done when I was in high school. As some of you have doubtless heard, I had a brailleNote Apex that I absolutely hated. I've talked about the freezing, but the display wasn't comfortable either. It was, for lack of a better word, sharp. Well, I found the place in the storage system where all of the manual files were stored for the user guide, and I found out how to edit them. The following text was therefore mysteriously appended to the Braille display care section. Warning! For your own safety, please do not use Braille display sharpeners.

Please don’t take this the wrong way, but there are some people I follow that I would just love to be able to turn off because they’re boosting random stuff and flooding my timeline. I’m not against boosting posts, but if I have to scroll past 50 of your boosts to get to what I’m looking for, it gets a little distracting.

I’ve got a challenge for every single one of you. In recent days, my whole feed has been nothing but the world is collapsing in around our ears, and World War III is going to break out at literally any second and everyone you care about could be blown up by some random nut job. Frankly all of that is getting hard to take, my challenge to every single one of you is to look around you, find something uplifting that could help people, and share that instead. If there’s something worth sharing with your friends, it’s a call to look at something good happening somewhere. Please share this with everyone.

I just found out that Samsung has a physical fuse in their devices that will blow to prevent operating system rollbacks. That sounds like a very good way to blow out a totally functional piece of hardware because of one software glitch. Seems like a design flaw to me. I like Samsung software to an extent, but I will call out apparent design flaws, where I see them

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.

Hot take, this I’m going to ignore your profile. Because you don’t have a picture thing that seems to be widespread on social media is absolutely ridiculous. Chances are if they have a bio and a suitable number of posts they aren’t a scammer or anything like that, so the presence or absence of a picture should not be a determining factor in whether or not to engage with that individual. I can speak from experience here because I was once thrown out of a group chat for not having a profile picture.
