hey so just to let people in the US know, if you are on SSI and have a disability that began before age 26 (46 as of 1st Jan 2026) you can apply for an ABLE account. this account will let you have up to $100,000 without losing your SSI.
Edit: per @MindmeshLink the requirements are SSI, SSDI, *or* a Doctors Note, if that helps!
I really, truly can not express how mind-blowing this Windwalker title anthem is. This is a stock Apple ][ running at 1 MHz. No third-party sound card. Just the built-in $C030 speaker that blips.
@kranzkrone and, more important even, had to take action. They should have offered compensation, too, imho, as they can hardly claim it was an accident. Still good they acted, and did not simply try to sit it out.
JAWS 2025 public beta is now available for testing. A few notes about this if people are trying the public beta.
Hartgen Consultancy products are not supported as part of this test beta cycle.
On a personal note, I do think there are some very rough edges with this public beta. Two good examples would be: 1. There are times when, if you move to the desktop, the response time of JAWS reporting the focus is significantly slower than JAWS 2024. This has been reported by me a number of times.
2. If you open up Winamp, and press Insert+T to read the song title and artist of a radio station which is playing, the URL for the stream is announced instead.
For these reasons and a few others, I am not using version 2025 for my day-to-day usage with work or even pleasure. But that is what the beta process is about; to report such findings.

It's going to be "hilarious" when Starlink messes up the radio sky so badly that radio astronomers can't even use quasars to calibrate GPS anymore. There are so many consequences from all these stupid, cheaply built, disposable satellites. universetoday.com/105160/navig…
