This holiday season I'd like to make someone I think is very important a bit of joy, however I need your help with it.
National bank of slovakia is issuing so called commemorative and collector euro 2 coins to celebrate historic memories, anniversaries and other special events. A friend of mine is collecting these coins with her dad whenever it's possible.
I have found out this is not specific to our country as european central bank has standardised this process and all the countries that have accepted euro can issue such commemorative coins.
Now the part I'd need some help with.
Can you please check with the national bank where you live if you can acquire some of the commemorative euro 2 coins, make me an offer and send these to me through ordinary post / mail service please?
Thanks for your understanding and possible help you can provide. #fediHelp #fediPower #boostsWelcome

Something is changing my default output device to 24 bit 96 khz. It is annoing, because it doesnt change the imput device, so Reaper can not open it in wasapi. Today it probably broke my vdo ninja recording, which was half a speed. It seems that this happens after lenovo or windows update. Lets see if I can create some script which will monitor it and let me know when this happens again

I've downloaded windows 11 iso image from microsoft download site to find out narrator can no longer be started using ctrl+windows+enter.
Do you know which image to download so I can independently install windows for a friend with a screen reader?

It turns out there are patched windows 11 images around restoring narrator functionality.
Here is such an image I have found.
Does anyone know what's modified?
At first it sounds shady however it really seems to work.
Uh oh, I don't think I'd want to run my personal computer with an ISO downloaded from blindhelp. Rather use an older ISO with Narrator functionality and update afterwards...
@Jonathan If you know which iso and where to download it from I would prefer that as well, however according to my internet searches narrator not being available on windows 11 setup is known for almost two years now.
@jonathan859 The issue mentioned was fixed in Build 7019 of Windows 11. Tried it myself on build 7171. Not by installing from the ISO but I reinstalled it so pretty much the same anyway.
@garo Please can you help me to download the appropriate build?
I've navigated to this url microsoft.com/en-us/software-d…
Selected Windows 11 (multi-edition ISO for x64 devices)
Pressed the Download now button.
The iso image I've downloaded does not start narrator when pressing ctrl+windows+enter after fully booting.
The file name of the image is Win11_25H2_EnglishInternational_x64.iso
The direct url to the image I managed to download this way is software.download.prss.microso…
Thanks for the help

@jonathan859 The links you sent are cut off. Also, I cannot really help you unfortunately. All I know is that after build 7019 Narator should work - at least by resetting from the settings.
Alternatively, just use a 24h2 iso from the Internet Archive. It's really easy to find and you safely can use it (I did so too). Also the upgrading process to 25h2 is fairly easy.

Maybe you can enable it here

Did you know it's now possible to select text on the page loaded in #Firefox, press shift+F10 to inwoke a popup menu and translate selected text into a different language?
I like it as I can easily copy text translated locally instead of using online services for the actual translation work.

@miki We had native selection in Firefox FIRST. Looking at the release notes we've had that in NVDA for Firefox since NVDA 2024.1, and for Chrome since NVDA 2025.1: download.nvaccess.org/releases…
If you try it out, do please let us know how you find it :)

in reply to ondrosik • •@ondrosik Thanks for publishing it online for all of us to enjoy and reuse. It's very important to see an example of real personal creativity these times when AI is dominating the space of background music, jingles and other short tracks.
Huge thanks!
