If you were wondering whether the new #Sonos app is as bad with #VoiceOver as people said, I can confirm that it is.
The first element that receives focus has no #accessible role or name, i.e. VoiceOver doesn't announce anything for it. The screen is split up into sections, like "Recently Played", "Your Services", and "Sonos Favourites", but none of these have headings. And, as previously noted, explore by touch doesn't work; VO seems to just see that blank element I mentioned as being stretched across the entire screen.
As a result of all this, the "Search" button requires 32 swipes from the top of the screen to reach, at least with my setup. If you have more services and/or more favourites, that number of swipes will be higher. #accessibility
@jscholes That, and on my iPhone with system language set to German, the UI does show up in German but is spoken by VO using an English voice, probably because the localization settings are not correctly configured and so all the German strings are marked up as being in English. This truly is a huge #accessibility#fail.
Alle, die jeden Tag über "Cyberwar" und #Überwachung sinieren, sollten einfach mal ihre Hausaufgaben machen, wenn sie irgendwann mal ernst genommen werden wollen!
Big Journalism's timidity is never more obvious than when, confronted with a blatant lie from a (usually Republican) politician, the news org then frames the lie as a mere mistake.
Example today from ABC News -- headline:
"South Dakota Gov. Noem admits error of describing meeting Kim Jong Un in new book"
Come on, journalists, this just makes you look ridiculous.
It's not just Google, of course. When you trust your data to ANY #cloud service, you can get rugpulled at any moment without warning. Remember, they have the de-facto control over the data, and you don't.
Nur zwei Tage nach dem Urteil des EuGH brachte Frau Faeser (SPD) das Thema Vorratsdatenspeicherung wieder auf den Tisch. Das Urteil des EuGH ist bedauerlich und die Anforderungen an die technische Umsetzung realitätsfern. Das werden Frau Faeser und ihre Kollegen nach dem ersten Aufschrei wohl bald selbst merken.
So if I understand these wearable AIs approach I am supposed to carry a second super cheap phone that is specifically for AI around and that will help me not take out my primary smart phone?
Cool cool got it. One question.
Can I get a third phone with special software for #shitposting to make phone of the second phone so I don’t have to take out the first phone to dunk on them?
I’m looking at getting fibre to the home connected - it has finally arrived in the village where I live! - and one of the providers says they can “manage my wifi for me”.
Really? 🤨 So they can get into my router from outside my network, into my mesh nodes and monitor performance/change config remotely?
They say it’s “a service”. I say the Gigaspire Blast routers they are offering have been backdoored 🚩
I can’t seem to get a straight answer out of the ISP, so I hunted around the router manufacturer site. Seems that yes, ISP support can connect into the router at will and tinker with settings.
“the Wi-Fi systems that you provide for your managed WiFi service can be managed remotely by your customer support team.”
IMO this is not a feature, it is a big, fat security #fail. I won’t be attaching one of these to my network any time soon.
Also I am getting the impression that this family of routers (Gigaspire Blast) don’t let mere paying customers change the advanced settings. It’s for ISPs who don’t trust their customers with settings like DNS resolvers, open ports, routing tables, subnets etc. “Nanny knows best” #fail
Faut-il encore le rappeler: la mise en page typographique d'un document est essentielle pour délivrer un message de manière claire. #fail#communication#pub
Is there already a conspiracy theory as to why #printers always fail completely when you want to #print the most urgent and important documents? If not, let's invent one! 😈
