RE: Accessible Printers

2017-08-02 Thread M. Taylor 
Hello Brandon,

I'm only now just tuning into this thread but I would suggest that you consider 
getting either an Air Print compatible unit or, as I have, a simple 
Ethernet-ready Samsung monochrome laser printer.  

There are many reasons why I like Samsung printers including the fact that the 
units are well built and that the customer service is top-notch.  Also, an 
Ethernet printer has its own web client.  This means that you can use your 
preferred web browser to login to the printer settings and see any info you 
want including how many pages have been printed with the current toner 
cartridge.

I was helping a friend shop for a printer just last week and, in my opinion, 
the Samsung monochrome laser printers still offer the biggest bang for the 
printing buck.  

In terms of accessibility, a totally blind person can operate these units as 
there is only an off/on button and maybe one more button that you can set from 
within your web browser.  

The sheet feeders are simple and easy to understand and use.  

Please keep in mind that, in order to use the web client interface, however, 
the unit will need to be connected to your home network via an Ethernet cable.  
However, once connected, any device on your network can send text to the unit 
to be printed.  

The only downside to these printers is that they are, in no way, portable.  

Last week, I saw several of these units at Frye's and Best Buy for around $82 
or so.  The color lasers start at around $180 or so.  

Many of the air print units I saw, however, were cheaply made HP printers that 
were inkjet devices.  

It's funny, once upon a time I was the number 1 fan of HP printers but that was 
a long, long, time ago.  Now, I am a Samsung man and stand behind them 100%, 
especially for use by a totally blind person.

Should you consider my suggestion, stick with the Samsung ML-3100 series or 
higher.

Good Luck,

Mark

Hi,

A few months ago I asked about wireless printers that were accessible. Someone 
suggested the HP Office 6815.

Today I just found the HP Office Jet Pro 6978. It looks very similar, but is 
supposed to have a fully functional iPhone app that can control all 
functionality of the printer/scanner, and also has their instant ink program, 
so it orders new ink before you run out of it, which sounds useful.
apps for HP printers, and were they accessible?
I'm concerned about the accessibility of the app, though. Has anyone used this 
particular printer or something similar? Have you ever used any

Re: Accessible Printers

2017-08-02 Thread Scott Granados 
Why not just download the free app and give it as much of a spin as you can.  
You should be able to determine whether it’s got basic accessibility features.  
I like the idea though.

Be careful buying HP branded Ink.  It’s usually way way over priced.  I have an 
HP 551N laser color printer for example and HP charges about $300 for a refill 
or $70 from Ink Technology LLC.  Shop the inks around before you lock in to an 
automatic delivery system.

Re: update on Uber scheduling issues

2017-08-02 Thread Eileen Scrivani 
I have no idea if this makes a difference or not, but I always allow the app to 
track me. It just makes my life easier and so nice whne I go into to do 
something it knows the address of where I’m going to be picked up from or where 
I’m going to. I would think this might be under tha app settings and worth 
while taking a look at.

I’d also make sure notifications are allowed from it as well.

Then too it could be there isn’t service where you live and that would account 
for a difference of only a few miles. Maybe you could check Uber.com to see if 
there is a contact link or email and send them a question asking about the 
issues you’re having.

Microphone and sound issues after a update

2017-08-02 Thread Georgina Joyce 
Hello All,

I wondered if others have experienced problems running Sierra? I have had for 
some time a Yeti Blue Microphone connected to my Mac Mini and for some reason 
it has stopped working. It is clearly seen by the Sound preferences and in 
Amadeus Pro. But recordings are silent. I have a cheap microphone and connected 
it to the line in and I have the same results as with the yeti. It appears I 
did a recording on the 21 July with this set up and all was as expected. I am 
channeling my audio out through the Yeti and that is working as it should, so 
the sound card of the Yeti is working. Although I have noticed that some of the 
sound affects come through the Mini’s speaker rather than the Yeti’s sound card.

I’m sure my Mac wanted to do an update recently so I just allowed it without 
examining what the update was for.

anyone had the same issues? Any ideas of what else I could try?

I will attempt to use the Yeti on a Windows machine just to double check that 
it has broken for some reason. But it would be very unfortunate if 2 mics have 
gone down.

Thanks,

Gena

Again, once you hear the tipping button, swipe with one finger either to the 
right or left until you hear it say, “schedule in advance.” If you swipe in one 
direction and don’t hear it then swipe back in the opposite direction.

 

Have you kept the app updated? Perhaps you might want to check in the app store 
to see if there are any updates.

RE: Drones and Ubers?

2017-08-02 Thread David & his pack of dogs 
Thanks for the update. Someone was amazed that with all the tourism helicopters 
flying back and forth over Niagara Falls, that there were no fatalities.  They 
referred to it as a swarm of bees.

So the drone I use for the primary test platform can fly miles from the launch 
site.  You get 28 minutes of flight time per charge with a forward speed of 
about 45 MPH if you’re full pitch forward.  Range from the remote with video 
feed is about 5 miles with the antennas I’m using presently.

I have gone hunting in Florida using the drone system with a 
FLIR (forward looking infrared) for wild bore. 

 

The thing about passenger planes is largely propaganda because 
our government wants to create fear around drones so they maintain the upper 
hand.  There have been cases of folks flying to closely to airlines and police 
helicopters but this is pretty few and far between and requires really high end 
gear or home made gear.

Lol because a drone can’t carry my heavy back side from place to place.

 

The drone industry though is killing the helicopter business.  No more need for 
expensive flights for arial photography and surveying etc.

 

I’m going to try it through uber next time the option is available.

Again, once you hear the tipping button, swipe with one finger either to the 
right or left until you hear it say, “schedule in advance.” If you swipe in one 
direction and don’t hear it then swipe back in the opposite direction.

 

Have you kept the app updated? Perhaps you might want to check in the app store

I just used this last week and it worked like a charm. Near the bottom of the 
screen, somewhere above the Home button, is a button that says “schedule a ride 
in advance.” If you don’t locate it then swipe either right or left until you 
hear it say just that and then double tap the button.

 

On the following screen, you can change the date of the ride if it isn’t the 
current date. Then go down a bit and there are picker buttons to select 
hour/minutes and either AM/PM. Once you have the date of your ride then move 
your finger near the bottom of the screen, probably just above the Home button 
again and double tap to “set the date.”

 

On the following screen you will set your pick up location and destination.

I used to use helicopters to get around south Florida but that’s because we had 
several aviation companies as customers.  Have been thinking about it for my 
commute from where I live in the woods to Boston everyday though.

On the following screen, you can change the date of the ride if it isn’t the

just above the home button is a “schedule ride” button. Double tap it and your

If at any time you need to cancel the ride you can double check it under the 
“upcoming rides” area.

 

Once your wait time starts I don’t think it will notify you until your ride is

I do wish they would make communicating with the driver easier or at least more

Is there a way to clear the destination list in Uber? I'm not talking about
the saved places section. I've taken Uber to a few places that I chose not
to save, but they still appear.

Interesting article.
 Will be interesting to finally see what they do release.

I think if / when I upgrade I'll jump to the 8 or what ever it gets called.

 Cheers.

Subject: Apple iPhone 7 S Release Date, Price and Specs - CNET

CNET Reviews - Saturday, July 29, 2017 at 5:00 AM Apple iPhone 7 S Release 
Date, Price and Specs - CNET The iPhone 8 isn't the only phone we expect Apple 
to deliver before the end of the year. Nor is it the only iPhone rumored to be 
giving Apple a headache at the moment. Apple is rumored to be developing an 
edition of the iPhone 8 that has a reflective finish.
 
Most of this season's renders, mockups, and design drawings have been of the 
iPhone 8. Here, one shows the 10th anniversary edition's rumored reflective 
finish.
Benjamin Geskin / Twittter
The company's manufacturing woes, apparently driven by the technical 
complexities of producing the dramatically redesigned 10th anniversary edition 
iPhone -- possibly called the iPhone 8 -- have reportedly spread to the rumored 
iPhone 7S and 7S Plus in recent weeks. Now, according to some sources, all 
three forthcoming models are in danger of missing Apple's usual September 
delivery date. (Though not everyone agrees.) Apple typically delivers an "S" 
series upgrade in September in odd-numbered years, like 2017. This year, 
however, Apple and its suppliers are said to be struggling to mass produce the 
next flagship model, possibly called the iPhone 8, as well as the iPhone 7S and 
7S Plus. According to a persistent series of reports by media, analysts, and 
supply chain sources, the debut of the "S" series, which will likely be a 
modestly upgraded version of the current generation iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, may be 
delayed. 
The iPhone 7S and iPhone 7S Plus are currently scheduled to start the final 
phase of production in August -- months behind the normal timeline. This could 
result in any number of previously unthinkable scenarios including a postponed 
announcement, a significantly delayed ship date, or an announcement followed by 
severe product shortages. As the drama continues to unfold, we'll collect all 
of the rumors below.
iPhone 7S specs we might see:
•   Overall, an incremental update of the current generation iPhone 7
•   LCD display with TrueTone
•   Apple's next-generation processor (the A10X or A11)
•   Physical home button with support for Touch ID
•   iOS 11 (preview)
•   Wireless charging
•   Aluminum and/or glass case
•   Enhanced waterproofing
•   New color options including red
•   2GB of RAM
•   Priced around $649 (iPhone 7S) and $749 (iPhone 7S Plus)
Announcement and release dates
True to form, Apple has officially announced nothing about the iPhone 7S or 7S 
Plus. And yet if this was a typical year, we'd still have confidence that the 
company was set to introduce and ship the "S" series sometime during the first 
half of September. According to the relentless drumbeat of rumors, however, an 
unprecedented set of manufacturing challenges has knocked this year's release 
schedule into disarray. 
For months, we've heard speculation that Apple may not have the flagship iPhone 
8 ready to go until late 2017. More recently, the postponement buzz has 
extended this foreboding prediction to include the "S" series; in mid-July, 
Economic News Daily (via MacRumors) reported that all forthcoming iPhone models 
are facing "production delays." Nothing is certain -- and we still may see the 
iPhone 7S and 7S Plus appear right on schedule in early September. But October, 
November, and beyond remain distinct possibilities.
What's new with the 2017 iPhone 'S' series upgrade?
  
The two on the left are said to be iPhone 8 components; the two on the right 
are said to be coming to the iPhone 7S and iPhone 7S Plus, respectively.
kamisky via reddit
Most reports suggest that phone sizes will remain the same, setting the stage 
for a 4.7-inch iPhone 7S and 5.5-inch iPhone 7S Plus. The "S" family is 
expected to have an aluminum alloy chassis (via DigiTimes), while the iPhone 8 
may get a glass and steel chassis. The forthcoming 7S Plus is nearly certain to 
have two cameras on the back, consistent with the current generation 7 Plus, 
though it's conceivable that the entry-level iPhone 7S could also get two 
rear-facing lenses in order to make fuller use of the AR capabilities featured 
in next generation of Apple's mobile operating
system's (more on that below).   
Much of the speculation about the iPhone 8, and one of the major factors said 
to be putting a crimp in production, involves a rumored virtual home button and 
its integration with Touch ID. The iPhone 7S and 7S Plus, however, are expected 
to stick with the current generation's conventional
setup: a
