Episode 22 Summary

 

Welcome back to another episode of That Blind Tech Show (TBTS). Allison Brian and Jeff swap talk about the latest and greatest news in the accessible device world and even more! We dip our toes into the Selfie world of the sighted and rest assured we be smarter than that. Well, most of us. Facebook opens it’s doors and the guest leave with 50 million names and contact info possibly but don’t worry, be happy, no one knows nothing. Hmm.

Amazon will begin to ship everything but the kitchen sink but give them a week or two and I am sure they will have one by then. Alexa, drain sink. Alexa, fill my cup to the rim. Hey, why not a toilet seat as well?

Below is a list of the topics we cover plus there is so much more. Jeff demos the Hearing feature with the Air Pods that amps up the sound like having hearing aids I imagine. Just put it in the Control Center.

IOS 12, Watch OS 5, Mojave and the Watch and iPhone reviews by the TBTS Team. No, we don’t actually have Jerseys or a club house but just close your eyes and, oh wait, just imagine we do and we have T-Shirts and Hats for sale and a Facebook TBTS group and…. Ok, wake up. Yea right.

Check out the emails we have received and Emily, You Rock! No, I did not call you a rock but You Rock.

We hope you enjoy and thanks for listening.
