That Real Blind Tech Show - A podcast by Brian Fischler, Ed Plumacher, and Allison Meloy

Categories:

It’s an all new That Real Blind Tech show with the entire gang back together to recap the Apple Glow Time event in a way that only That Real Blind Tech Show can do.   We kick the show off with an exciting upcoming trip by Ed, and as we stumble through our intro Jeanine fills us in on how Aira Audio Described the debate. We then discuss the breaking news right before we recorded of Jon Bon Jovi talking a jumper off of a bridge.   Next we discuss the story of Gen-Z pissing everyone off with their new fad of filming their airport tray’s.       Brian then tells us all about this year’s 17th annual Laugh For Sight NYC at Gotham Comedy Club on Monday, October 28, 2024. For tickets go here. And one of our Hosts will soon have their own swag, hmm, who could it be?   If you are interested in attending the Lighthouse guild Mac versus PC Accessibility Smackdown on September 17, 2024 at 3pm Eastern Time on Zoom, you can register for it here.   Not everyone was tuned in to the Apple event as Pornhub’s tracking metrics didn’t drop everywhere during the event.   We then finally get around to discussing the apple Event It’s Glow time. We start off discussing if screen real estate makes a difference for gesture and braille with a lower case b input users. It was only quickly mentioned but could apple Visual Intelligence LookUp only available on the iPhone 16 Pro and up cause a lot of blind people to get new phones? We then discuss the new camera button coming to some of the phones. During the event apple kept pimping out the bigger battery life, so how much bigger is it? Here are the biggest differences between the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro.   Apple announced a new Mag Safe charger, don’t buy it. Apple finally killed the lightning  cable for all new products.   Apple announced the air Pod 4’s, making the Air Pod product line very confusing. The Air Pod Pro 2’s will be able to replace hearing aids for people with low to moderate hearing loss. Will Air Pods doubling as hearing aids challenge new social norms?   We got the Apple Watch Series 10, and one of us already ordered one. Sleep Apnea detection comes to the new watches.   We got a drop date for iOS 18 on Monday, September 16th, and fortunately Allison and Jeanine have been running the betas. Additionally, Mac OS Sequoia will also be dropping on Monday, but none of us have been beta testing it. Apple will actually allow users to stay on iOS 17 and still get security updates.   And it’s more of What’s Pissing Off Brian Now and Watcha Streaming, Watcha Reading.   To contact That Real Blind Tech Show, you can email us at [email protected], join our Facebook Group That Real Blind Tech Show, join us on the Twitter @BlindTechShow , or leave us an old school phone message at 929-367-1005.      It’s an all new That Real Blind Tech show with the entire gang back together to recap the Apple Glow Time event in a way that only That Real Blind Tech Show can do.   We kick the show off with an exciting upcoming trip by Ed, and as we stumble through our intro Jeanine fills us in on how Aira Audio Described the debate.
