DIY Disasters, AI Guide Dogs, and the Surface Laptop Saga
Can a blind tech enthusiast survive DIY furniture builds and the Surface Laptop rollercoaster? Steven Scott and Shaun Preece dive into hilarious home mishaps, AI guide dog experiments, and the unpredictable world of ARM-based Windows laptops. Expect tech insights with plenty of laughs.
In this lively episode of Double Tap, Steven Scott recounts his adventures in DIY after taking on a flat-pack table and chairs armed with a new cordless screwdriver, leading to stripped screws and comedy chaos. The hosts then explore real-world experiences with AI apps for blind users, including the “AI guide dog,” and why early adoption doesn’t always go smoothly.
Steven also shares his ongoing love-hate journey with the Surface Laptop with Snapdragon ARM processor—from installation frustrations and app compatibility issues to sudden breakthroughs that made him fall in love with the device again. Shaun highlights the realities of accessibility tools and reviews listener emails about Be My AI, OCR smart glasses, Alexa Plus quirks, and the challenges of emerging assistive tech.
