In this clip, i install some APH programs from my childhood! Mathflash, and Talking typer! I had some technical issues, making this take longer than expected! I only used the trial versions, as i don't have a key, however, that dosn't detract from the fun anyways! First, i look at Mathflash. I suck at math, so i got that over with as quickly as possible, inorder to not imbarrass myself. The second program in the cue was my favorite APH program, Talking Typer! The vertual nightmare of almost every child that used it! I think i can say i have more respect for it than i had 7 years ago! I played some hurry scurry, and failed misserably, yet seemed to have a good time reguardless of that. I also discovered that the go, application, and tools menus work in the trial version on older versions of Windows, compared to my experience on Windows 11, when i left it unregistered. None of the menus showed, leaving me to believe that they updated the program for modern windows at some point. It turns out, they did back in 2020, and they did post about that on there official youtube channel. You can find it hear.
Anyways, hope you enjoy! I am getting the netbook today, so, i think i am done with the VM stuff for a while. Givin that the netbook is a lot more interesting than just messing with a VM. It's real hardware, and i am so excited!

Apparently, the SpeechFX website is back. Not sure if it is the same company, or if someone else bought the domain. To me, the writing style screams Chat GPT. For anyone interested in taking a look at this, the URL is speechfxinc.com.

This week's In-Process is out. Featuring all the news on NVDA 2025.2, info on the upcoming NVDA 2025.3, a recap on restarting after updating (no we're not about to enforce that!) and a look into the namesake feature of Microsoft Windows... and just how complicated ARE the Windows+arrow key commands? (Very, but we break it down for you!) All that and more, available now: nvaccess.org/post/in-process-2…

I've finally just submitted the RFC series for USB3 support on Apple Silicon machines. RFC because the entire Type-C machinery spans multiple subsystems and has quite a few quirks which makes the entire thing rather annoying to deal with and I'm not 100% convinced about the current approach.
This also includes some initial work for DisplayPort-altmode and USB4/Thunderbolt but both will require much more work after this is upstream, so don't get your hopes up just yet.

I managed to get the TP-Link Omada SDN Controller software running on FreeBSD after finding an old tip by someone about editing a Java JAR file with a decompiler to remove a Linux check
This is a follow-up to the thread: https://community.tp-link.com/en/business/forum/topic/181042 A similar change to the Java code was required. The function we are looking for is now in the omada-common-5.15.24.19.jar file. If you change

ČSOB a její dceřinky vytvořily tak komplexní systém služeb, že po deseti letech, kdy tam máme hypotéku, vůbec netuším, co za služby tam vlastně platíme. Pokud tenhle screenshot chápu správně, tak jsme přišli o 0.2 procentního bodu ze slevy na vedení účtu a pojištění.
Fun fact: ČSOB má pojišťovnu, ale pojištění auta k půjčce, co jsme brali na Teslu kvůli dotaci, nám dali od Kooperativy.
Příští měsíc doplatíme Teslu, v dubnu 2026 hypo a pápá.

The feeling when you are watching a presentation from 2008 and you get to the design tenets of GNOME, except they were the design tenets of the Microsoft Office team, circa 2003
This toot brought to you by me watching a 90 minutes presentation given by Jensen Harris at MIX 2008 on the story of how the Office team designed, prototyped, and user-tested the ribbon in Office 2007
Oh no, the consensus opinion seems to be that people hate the Ribbon UI, so maybe that isn't as successful a design ethos at is seems.
I really wish there was more funding for extensive scientific user studies to hone UI development, as a lot of designers seem to be unteathered to feedback, so all the hard work to create a logical, consistent set of principals, ends up not being effective because it isn't tested enough against how real people use things (both newbies and seasoned users with more expectations).
Most UI development these days happens with web apps, and there doesn't seem to be HIG for web apps as respected as the old IBM CUA or Mac HIG, every company seems to be learning UI design from scratch because the web platform allows you to design _anything_ without many guardrails.

no... But in a similar vein, I like code review bots like sorcery and Gemini. Even if you ignore 90% of the feedback it picks up plenty that humans won't. And the PR submitter has feedback even before a human looks at it.
"...well apart from the now thousands of examples of it being dangerously unreliable for any practical commercial use whatsoever, but for the purposes of this speech we'll ignore all those because I have grossly overvalued stock and am eyeing a nice waterfront property in Malibu."
In case I have any blind students or others who need to write academic essays, I thought I should share this. The Essayist iOS app is accessible with VoiceOver. I'm thankful that I no longer need to write such essays, but would have deeply appreciated an app like this. Back to School with Essayist apps.apple.com/ca/app/essayist…
