IACast 176 Do we Need another Braille Computer
Edit TranscriptRemove HighlightingAdd Audio FileExport…?
[0:00] Music.
[0:20] All right, I’m back with two wonderful folks this time. We have Michael Babcock. Hello, everyone.
And we have Jason Castingway back with us. Is this your first time on the show, Jason?
This is my first time on… No, it isn’t. I was on previously with the Apple HomePod.
You were on the unboxing, but this is your first time on the IA cast. So, yeah, brand new. So, welcome.
Thank you very much. Great to be here. Yeah, we’re glad to have you and I think we have a pretty interesting show today and I’m really glad to have you here to get your thoughts on our topic today.
So it’s going to be very exciting, but as we always do, we’re going to start with some tech news. But before we even do that, Michael, you and Marty have this little thing called Unmute Presents.
So, um, and it’s been a little while since you guys have talked about it.
So why don’t you kind of refresh people on what that is and what topics you guys have been talking about?
[1:24] Sure. So that little thing called unmute presents keeps growing.
It’s like a kid. And thank you for the reminder, because as I realized, I need to get the episode that goes out tomorrow, edited, uh, putting it off to the last minute.
[1:35] Just a little bit. Anyways. So unmute presents is live on Tuesdays at 10 AM Pacific time.
That’s 1 PM Eastern. and you can get details about that by going to acb.community.
We’re also typically streamed on ACB Media 5 if you’d rather just listen in, but we answer your tech questions and hopefully we’re able to provide you with a solution or a resource to help come to a solution so those tech issues don’t have to stand in your way anymore.
On Thursdays, we publish content more in depth about a topic and those topics typically come from questions we’ve been asked, and we’re starting to produce some more regular content on Thursdays.
So for example, the last Thursday of the month, you’re gonna get a security update, and the second Thursday of the month, you’ll hear more about A-Lady and what’s going on in that arena.
And then on Sundays, we teach you something. I wanna teach you how to do something, get a task done with your technology in five minutes or less.
And yeah, I’ve noticed they’re starting to creep out to about 10 minutes, but the point is, keep them slow, keep them quick, go through it and don’t slow down and teach people how to use their screen reader, but teach you how to get the job done with the technology you’re using.
So thank you for asking, Michael, I appreciate it.
[2:54] Yeah, of course. And throughout all of the IACAST network, you guys can hear Unmute present on our live 365 radio station.
So keep tuned into that. and we have more on that later on in the show.
Really exciting news, so I’m excited to talk about that.
[3:17] But we have some interesting tech news. And Michael, you found a few things that were interesting today. Do you want to kind of talk about those?
[3:28] Yeah, so I can just give a quick overview because I haven’t really done much digging into it.
But the news articles that I found that we can talk about is the fact that Google launched Android 14 public beta 1 today, as of the time of recording.
Note that on through unrelated resources in this article, it’s been made apparent that there’s not any immediate changes to talk back or improvement.
At least that’s what I’ve heard. I haven’t tried it myself.
There’s also the additional information related to HBO deciding to drop HBO from their name for their streaming service and come, I believe it’s May 21st, will now be known as Max.
So I’m not sure what my credit card’s going to show. Is it going to just show that Max charged me?
That’s a weird charge.
And so that should hopefully give more representation of what type of content HBO is providing, especially with acquisition of Discovery and the other channels that go along with that.
Jason, do you watch HBO Max at all a lot? I do not, actually.
We pay for it and I don’t watch it, my wife did, and we keep paying for it.
Well, I think what they’re probably looking at doing is, they don’t want to call it HBO or Discovery, they just want to call it something right in the middle, and I think that’s a good trade-off.
[4:53] It would be interesting if they called it Discovery Max, kind of just bringing those two properties together, but I think they’re just calling it Max.
[5:01] And, you know, I’m totally fine with that because that’s kind of what the app icon is, is the word max and they just dropped HBO off of it. So, yeah, I did not know that.
So maybe that maybe they knew that was coming ahead of time. Yeah, the word max is very much imposed over the HBO on the icon from what I can remember. I watch HBO Max…
