OMG, I missed this year, well the beginning of it anyway. I will have to figure out something to post this evening.

@Lynessence me too. Was thinking I should try and do it this year with my new recorder toy.

there needs to be a course on shipping electronics to the United States. there are all sorts of rules about batteries. Just selling a used victor stream but my reading of the rules indicate I can not send it by mail.

@blindbat84 its confusing depending on which site you read the regulations from.

bmoore123,
@bmoore123@disabled.social avatar

@blindbat84 yeah, I think I know the answer but I will just go there and see what they say. that will be a pain for them as I can't pre-print a label because I have to pay for it if I want to do that and not going to do that if they won't actually take the thing.

@bmoore123@disabled.social avatar

@Pawpower well, let's see what the post office people say. IF they can't do it, I will ask the person of they want to wait that long or I can just keep it for the little I was selling it for. it isn't worth that much trouble.

Tonight's dinner is baby back barbecue ribs, mashed sweet potatoes, salad, and cheddar garlic biscuits! The potatoes are boiling on the stove and I am about to transfer the ribs from the crockpot to a sheet pan so they can spend a few minutes covered with barbecue sauce under the broiler so they get crunchy! It is going to be amazing

re last repost about direct file. Can Americans not file their own return online without the assistance of anyone? We have had that for years and I think the last time I filed a paper return was 2006

The NVDA mailing list doesn't allow logs to be posted to it, because most people won't understand them and they might contain personal information. That policy is stupid, because the people who do understand them are on the list, and if you don't read what you post, that's on you.

bmoore123,
@bmoore123@disabled.social avatar

@tspivey agree. that is dumb. if you don't want personal info in your log, edit it

Safe guesses for what the carrier set voicemail pin could be? I’m trying to set up my voicemail box and it’s asking me for a pin I wasn’t given.

@bmoore123@disabled.social avatar

@adam @evilcookies98 he is almost certainly correct.

Well, I did not think Trump would get convicted. Now I'm sort of curious how that worked. Would there not be a statute of limitations on those kind of fraud charges which occurred 8 1/2 years ago? No kind of American legal expert but pretty sure they couldn't charge him when he was president but does that extend the satute?

@drew yeah, that seems to be the case. thanks. that article is helpful.

This was a thread I've pulled over from X before the knowledge that the vote passed, but I truly think my points still stand. So, I'll offer insight here for those areas that don't offer online voting:

The privilege of not needing an online voting option does not legitimize a push against the option. I hope (I'm glad) our @cityofguelph considers (considered) the equity of its disabled voters with this decision. 🧵

bmoore123,
@bmoore123@disabled.social avatar

@mothdust yes, at some point in my life, I would like to cast a vote in any election that I could actually do completely by myself like everyone else gets to.

I don’t know why this just popped into my head. OK, so Apple removed the physical Sim cards from their new phones. That kind of destroys the dual Sim functionality they bragged about.

bmoore123,
@bmoore123@disabled.social avatar

@evilcookies98 yeah but only in the US market. Not sure why but yeah

A recruiter from Cisco contacted me about an accessibility engineer job in San Jose. So... that's a thing, apparently.

@drew they could sure use it!

Completed a huge personal milestone today. Facilitated my first ever talk at an conference! Thanks to the for putting it on, and thanks to all of the attendees who came out (even though I experienced a little technical difficulty)!

@mothdust mine turn is tomorrow

I believe I am going to return the smart glasses I purchased because many of the fundamental functions such as checking battery status, knowing if the glasses are on or off, etc., are not accessible for a person who is deafblind. Meaning that those particular statuses are spoken only by the glasses… Which I cannot hear. Everything else, such as OCR results and seen descriptions is pushed through the app which is accessible via braille. Also, it takes forever to recognize things. It is so slow!

bmoore123,
@bmoore123@disabled.social avatar

@Pawpower too bad. Was hoping those would have worked out better for you!

adam, to random

I'm so glad that my ISP allows up to five unique, and fully publically routable connections. Totally makes my life easier when testing security policies, firewalls, and VPN connections.

bmoore123,
@bmoore123@disabled.social avatar

@adam nice, wish I could have this. who do you have?

bmoore123,
@bmoore123@disabled.social avatar

@adam okay, didn't know they allowed that many. OH well, doesn't matter. it is not available in this building in Toronto and isn't worth moving to get. Too bad. that would be very useful. I have two public routable ips from Rogers but that is all I can get I think.

bmoore123,
@bmoore123@disabled.social avatar

@adam correct but there is a weird bug if I try and get to my other network on a completely different IP v4 address from the one I am on now, it doesn't respond. there is something weird with this modem in bridge mode where I can't see the other network from here. from outside this subnet, it is fine.

bmoore123,
@bmoore123@disabled.social avatar

@adam correct

bmoore123,
@bmoore123@disabled.social avatar

@adam not that it matters but it is sftp and ssh

bmoore123,
@bmoore123@disabled.social avatar

@adam yes, a router on one and a computer on the other which is properly firewalled etc. have checked firewall and nothing there. There is actually also an nvda remote server running on that thing and I can't use it from rog PUBl IP 2

bmoore123,
@bmoore123@disabled.social avatar

@adam I suspect you are correct about a security policy thing.

Do any Ontarians know where I can find a list of devices covered by the Assistive Devices Program? I looked on their website and had no luck finding anything.

@rowdyamerican I was eligible a couple of years ago but there's not much I really want although I would like a mantis

bmoore123,
@bmoore123@disabled.social avatar

@rowdyamerican yes, its very nice. I like it a lot and was pretty enthusiastic when I did the evaluation for ADP
