The Braille Sense 6 is an Android tablet, with a nice Octocore processor and a good 6 GB of RAM. It's got all the good modern connectors, USB C and HDMI and such.
Except it can't even properly display EPUB files, the devs choosing to just turn it all into plain text, plopping it into a document reader. So, no table of contents, no headings, nothing. And y'all wanna know how much this demeaning technology costs? $5,795.00. Shit, even Emacs can open and display EPUB files with nov-mode. Yes it's an extension, but it works well and does what you'd expect. Even MacOS' Books app can open any EPUB file. Like this isn't Kindle, or even the lesser used DAISY format. This is a modern, pretty popular EBook format. Everything should be supporting this, and by support I don't mean using Pandoc to convert it to a plain text file either. Damn. At least, give us an option. Some people love plain text. But I don't.
I think Hell must’ve just frozen over. Better late than never? Sadly, most will still not heed this advice because it’s coming way too late — not because Covid is gone, but because people are tuning out CDC advice, after 3 years of poor responses to the pandemic. #Fail#covid#CovidIsAirborne
@kuketzblog besonders peinlich ist das bei diesem Artikel. "Du musst gefragt werden" steht dort dick und fett, was aber bei der Einbindung des Youtube Videos auf der gleichen Seite genau nicht getan wird. #Fail#Datenschutz
The audience for the CNN townhall w/Trump will be 400 Republicans & GOP-leaning independents
Allowing Trump to appear in front of an audience exclusively comprised of people who are likely sympathetic to Trump -- and then turn over the questions to that group -- is irresponsible
If you work in tech support, I think we need to talk.
If I tell you in an email, specifically, that I am blind, for the love of god don't include a screenshot in the message you follow up with immediately after. Especially if you aren't going to tell me what's in the image. #Tech#Technology#TroubleShooting#CustomerService#Fail#Blind#AltText#A11y#Accessibility
SO, as if I didn't have enough reasons to hate the little Roomba we have on the main floor I came down the stairs, stepped right on it, and nearly slammed my head into the wall. #Smarthome#Roomba#Tech#Injury#Fail#Annoyed
So out of all the reasons to not keep many many tabs open in your browser, I just discovered one more.
Close your tabs when you're done, folks. Otherwise... you might end up bookmarking 114 pages instead of the 1 you had intended.
Now if you'll excuse me... I need to spend fifteen years figuring out which bookmarks to actually keep. #Tech#Technology#Internet#Firefox#Fail#Humor
Ich installiere für ne Gamingkiste gerade ein Win11. Wie sortiert Microsoft die Festplatten im der Installation? Natürlich HDD HDD SSD. Und natürlich gibt es keinerlei Möglichkeit in der Wahl zu erkennen was welche Platte ist wenn alle drei gleich groß sind 🙄
Popcorn anyone? My dream scenario is: the banks take over Twitter because Musk can't afford to pay his bills, reinstate misinformation rules to try and bring advertisers back, and he ends up being banned for spreading misinformation on a platform he used to own. #karma#MakeItSo
With $1.5 billion bill due at month-end, Elon Musk’s options aren’t great | Ars Technica
Purchased for $44 billion, company is likely worth as little as $15 billion today.
