Can we maybe blame the people who use them irresponsibly instead of blaming the technology? These glasses have been a life changer for so many visually impaired people.

clearly not true. the weights are the preferred form for making modifications. Do you really think people should be downloading hundreds of TB of training data and running make to …

Why are you being so hostile?

It also, and I would say more commonly, means a round thing that can be turned. I've never heard of anyone avoiding the term.

latency would be the killer. a very tiny delay between pressing a key and hearing a response can make a screen reader feel unresponsive.

Yes, I have a passport which is accepted by every other company I have had to verify id with. Apple doesn't offer it as an option for UK accounts for some reason.

I agree, but I just created anew Apple id, and got a developer subscription straight away on the web without it asking for id. I suppose they will probably require id if I submit t…

because it is Israel doing all the fucking mass murder of innocent people?

I tried to get a personal developer account (I'm already a developer through an organisation). The app required a Driver's license as the only accepted ID. I don't drive because I'…

It can trigger it's self, when it decides it needs to try lots of different options to get clicks into an installer running as admin. There's basically nothing you can do to preven…

I didn't know this. Looks like I dodged a bullet - being totally blind meant the chance of issues was high but luckily it worked. It triggered the id check while trying to get comp…

Apple could simply be ordered to include a hardware backdoor, and legally be prevented from talking about it. Everything else in the architecture could work exactly the way they cl…

wow! are you really saying that Palestinian children should have no rights because of something their ancestors did? Should people get to violently remove them from their homes and…

No need to issue a recall, they could just release a firmware update that disables unauthenticated firmware updates over BLE.

wifi, bluetooth, and microphones. Yes microphones. I have a very cheap smart bulb with a mode that responds to music. That's not even unusual for smart bulbs.

Yeah, all Israel ever wanted was peace. That's why they stole land that was already populated, and continue to take more and more. Bomb women and children. confiscate baby formula.…

ARIA is a solution to a specific problem, not something that should be used on every site. HTML is accessible out of the box when semantic elements are used as intended. If you are…

It's not a binary. most web sites are accessible to some degree. Just the fact that semantic elements exist at all makes a big difference. Popular frameworks have accessibility bui…

I'm glad that a large proportion of web developers are happy to boil the ocean then. I use the web every day with a screen reader. It works. 99% of what I want to access is fine. O…

Clients can't automatically fix all existing web pages, because the semantic information just isn't there. AI doesn't excuse web developers. It wouldn't even be a fix. Who wants to…

I did read the article. Why do you need to label a div? It's just a container, not a semantic element. If you really want to use a div for something semantic you can set role and a…

To hell with using vision based AI for web accessibility. it really isn't that hard to get right. Semantic html is already accessible. ARIA can help when devs want to use the wrong…

Really? I haven't used Android recently, but I very much doubt 7 year old Talkback was any where near as good as Voiceover. I also haven't seen a single accessibility improvement i…

Apple was first to market with Voiceover. Google took a very long time to come close to catching up.
