Listen Later

Struggling with a sluggish Windows 11 laptop or curious about the latest accessibility tech? Steven Scott and Shaun Preece explore remote troubleshooting, the slowdown mystery, and brand-new partnerships from Be My Eyes with BT, EE, Tesco, and Sony. Plus, a look at Dot Lumen’s AI-powered mobility glasses, Apple TV’s rebrand, and why Shaun is side-eyeing his Apple Watch upgrade.

In this episode of Double Tap, Shaun returns from his brief, tissue-filled hiatus to join Steven for a lively dive into both tech challenges and accessibility wins. The duo unpack:

  • A real-world Windows 11 performance headache, from bloatware removal to NVDA remote troubleshooting
  • How Be My Eyes is transforming customer support with BT, EE, Tesco in-store pilots, and Sony product support
  • Dot Lumen’s AI-driven glasses and what they could mean for blind mobility worldwide
  • Apple’s quiet rebrand of Apple TV+, the end of the Clips app, and speculation on future hardware
  • Steven’s decision to swap his Series 11 for the louder, more capable Apple Watch Ultra 3

From remote PC control tips to reflections on the future of accessible shopping and navigation, this episode blends practical advice with personal tech trials.
