It's an all new That Real Blind Tech Show, as we bring you our annual CSUN Assistive Technology Conference Preview with Allison, Brian, and Jeanine. However, only one of us will be making an appearance at CSUN.

Way before we get in to our CSUN coverage, we kick things off discussing how do you know when your historic unbelievable bad luck may be turning around for the better? Which then leads back to the theft and hacking Brian went through and discussing that an iPhone hacking tool is now in the hands of Russian spies.

We then discuss the bizarre story of the woman who is dealing with reverse porch piracy.

Brian then discusses finally setting up his ally Glasses and his first experiences with them.

Next up we discuss who is watching the watchers, meaning the peeps wearing the Meta Glasses. And we finally have a name for the facial Recognition feature coming to the Meta Glasses, it's called NameTag.

Which leads to us discussing Royal Caribbean banning Smart Glasses on its cruise ships.

Could using VoiceOver get you kicked off a United airlines flight soon? And here is the entire bullet point on United Airlines of something that could get you kicked off a flight that Brian could not get through. Passengers or Passengers' Service Animals whose conduct is unlawful; indecent, lewd, or sexual in nature (including viewing offensive content); harassing; disruptive; disorderly; offensive; abusive; unsanitary; or violent.

Jeanine then fills us in on some of the big stuff coming out of Aira for this year's Conference.

Apple announced a bunch of new products this week, but are any of them worth getting? We start discussing the new M5 Mac Book Pro. But Allison roles us right on it to the new M5 Mac book Air, as she feels that is the computer in the Mac line up to get. Which then rolls us in to discussing the new Mac Neo versus a Mac Air. Apple also released the budget friendly iPhone 17E.

We then dive in to the Apple 26 feature for the phone app to go unified or old school.

We then discuss two new iPhone apps for the blind Curb to Car and Vision AI Assistant. Are they ready for prime time?
