Re: Anyone have any experience with the Airpods Max?

2022-05-01 Thread Pete Nalda
One obvious problem with the AirPod max, is it safe if you wear a hat that has 
a brim that goes all the way around, they won’t work with that unless you wear 
them down all around your head. but they’re  apt to fall off.

Oh God yes!  Are used to take pictures of myself wearing them! Then somebody 
said you should not be walking around town with those on your head! But believe 
me the ambience is so good in ambience mode that you can hear everything it’s

Re: Anyone have a password set for their watch?

2021-04-28 Thread Pete Nalda
I have a password set for mine, as I was instructed to do so for ApplePay and 
wallet. I’m only prompted to enter it when taking the watch off it’s charger, 
and putting on for the day. Watch passwords are four digits long, so I made 
mine the first four digits of my phone password so that way it’s easy to 
remember.

Re: IRC CLient

Amazingly enough I had speech unchecked in notifications under preferences, 
notifications, but under the speech tab I have both Channel name and nickname 
checked.   Now on channel properties for *each* channel under Notifications, I 
have highlight mention as the selected alert, and nothing else checked. This is 
the only set up that worked to have speech when somebody was speaking on a 
channel.

Re: Bipods max smart case.

You are correct. I find also that they fit better if flattened out, you can 
know the right ear cup by all the controls. And yes, at the bottom the case has 
a cutaway for the charging port.

Re: AirPods Max.

2021-03-20 Thread Pete Nalda
One more thing about the Max I forgot to mention, is battery life. It’s really 
amazing!!  I’ve left them unplugged all day long, and have yet to run them 
down!  I think their smart case helps in this area. And that case is nothing to 
write home about, but the protect flap protects the top, and is magnetic, and I 
think they run down less when they’re slipped in it.

Re: AirPods Max.

2021-03-18 Thread Pete Nalda
Not sure how blindness perspective related this is, but they are heavy! Sound 
is really good, and transparency works well, taking good advantage of the extra 
microphones. I thought it made sense to change the direction of the crown 
volume function, so that it’s clockwise for louder volume. One thing to note, 
transparency does function better with lower music volumes.

When you have an incoming call, a pop up will show up, and you can choose 
decline or answer.  I’ve not done this with voiceover on, I only use

Re: I wonder who is for the HomePod Mini?

2020-10-14 Thread Pete Nalda
OK. All of the iPhone 12 models our face ID only, and none have home buttons. 
The two pro models are the iPhone 12 Pro, and the iPhone 12 Pro Max. The iPhone 
SE 2020 is also still in the lineup.

First question, what does Catalina do with your ripped music in your music 
library? And exactly how different is the user interface overall?  I heard the 
finder was pretty different. I hear there are new dictation features, they are 
more easily accessible. Is this correct? I’m thinking about upgrading, because 
I’m tired of seeing the little number one on my settings icon. Plus I want to 
explore All the new features. Thanks in advance.

Hi, 
You can download Word for Macintosh from Microsoft. It does require you have an 
office 365 account. And it is a paid app, but it runs in MacOS. It’s not as 
elegant as the windows version, but it works.

Both speakers are on the bottom on either side of the lightening port. I think 
I heard the top speaker is made the left or right speaker in landscape mode. 
But you do get decent separation in portrait mode as well.

Re: thoughts on iPhone XR?

2019-03-02 Thread Pete Nalda
I like my XR quite a bit. It’s only a little bigger than the X, and yet, way 
more comfortable to hold than my 7 plus was. Face ID is a bit finicky, but when 
it works, it’s really very elegant!

I know that you’re having the same problem at other places, but is it possible 
the university has a piece of software you’d need to download to use their 
wi-fi?  I had to do that to use the WiFi on my MacBook Air 2018 here at Austiin

OT: Re: Adventures with Raspberry Pi

2017-03-09 Thread Pete Nalda
Jfyi there *is a Rasphberry-VI group, but that being said, I have a  Pi-top I 
was given that I need to find someone to help me put together. I've  used 
Debian' s universal access in class, for zooming, not sure how the screenreader 
works, and even if raspberrian includes universal access.

Re: voiceover and zoomtext

2017-02-01 Thread Pete Nalda
Also, there is not a "DocReader" as such, but, I think the "Read All" command 
in VoiceOver (Opt+Ctrl+A), or swipe down w/ 2 fingers, while Zoom is on will 
mimic the docreader function in ZoomText.

There is a "Speak text Under mouse" feature that might help. I also have

Re: Streaming the Presidential Debate?

2016-09-25 Thread Pete Nalda
CBS, Fox TV, and ABC are all carying them. Can you buy an amplied tv antenna 
somewhere?  I'm sure you could get at least one or two of those channels with 
an amplified antenna.

Andy, 
I'm a low vision user that uses large fonts and plain text on my iPhone. I just 
wanted to let you know your messages come with a black background and no text. 
When I invoke reply mode, I see text, but it's blue and a very small font. 
Would it be possible to make your emails plain text? Or at least remove the 
black background, and use a larger font?  Thanks in advance. And then I'll be 
able to maybe offer advice on that MacBook. I've got a MacBook dilemma of my 
own. Im running a late 2009 that's not going to be Sierra compatible, and is 
slowly running El Capitan, thus thinking about an upgrade at some point here as

I tried to watch the keynote over from the beginning on my Apple TV 3rd gen, 
but I guess I'll have to wait some time before I'll be able to play it again.

Re: Anyone else disappointed with the "big" apple event

2016-03-22 Thread Pete Nalda
I wasn't too disappointed myself with the event. They delivered the products I 
had heard were coming, and yes there was some pomp, but I find that some is 
warranted, to acknowledge the teams that worked on said products. The only 
thing I see missing from the Jobs days are the "One more thing"segments. Maybe 
that's what we're missing. Anyway, I'm not sure any of the new stuff tempts me, 
as I want something with 3D Touch, and so my next upgrade might just be to a 
6s+.

Re: Karabiner

Sharp keys I don't know, but a karabiner is a one hinge side metal tall clip 
that climbers loop rope through for easy one handed clipping to objects ( i.e.  
Other ropes or karabiners). Smaller ones can be bought at stores for clipping a 
key ring to a backpack, belt loop or purse.

I too thought this was a little brutal, but I’ve always appreciated Yuma’s

Re: Introduction

2015-08-13 Thread Pete Nalda
One thing I'm curious about, would those of you with low vision find using Zoom 
on it as easy as using VO?  like I said, I do have a Bluetooth headset, but 
even with my iOS device find it easier to use Zoom or even large bold text in 
some cases. I'm thinking I'll take my Bluetooth headset in and ask if I can 
pair the watch, that way I can really see what's better. How is dictation for 
quick replies? Is there a favorite app page or do you always have to search in 
the big app wheel?  Are weather apps good on the watch?

I am starting to use a Bluetooth headset more and more with my iPhone, but I've 
also heard the Plantronics Backbeat Fit phones I have may have issues with 
apple watch, so I hope someone out there has used this model.

Re: my day with yosemite

2014-12-10 Thread Pete Nalda
One thing I wanted to mention on this subject , is to remind folks that upgrade 
to Yosemite, is to check software update, as there is now 10.10.1, which for 
me, fixed some sluggishness when using Zoom. Might have a fix for VO as well. 
Fwiw.

Re: OT: looking for recommendations for good headphones

2014-11-24 Thread Pete Nalda
I like my urban ears headphones that I got at the Apple Store there the over 
the  ear type kind of like beats,  but they are a little bit more retro 
looking, looking sort of like headphones used to look in the 1920s but way more 
comfortable and the bass, is freaking awesome! And they fold up too!

Wow!!! Well, If any you Zoom users had Jagged magnifier behavior or erratic zooming, it just got fixed in 10.10.1!

2014-11-21 Thread Pete Nalda
All I can say is, thank you Apple!  I thought my 2009 Macbook Pro needed more 
memory or something, it was really sluggish, but after updating to 10.10.1, 
it’s all cool again.  I’m impressed! Moral of the story?  Zoom users Update 
ASAP!  Hope it helps!

Re: OT: Need Assistance for Blind Youth with Finding Accessible Audio Software

2014-10-29 Thread Pete Nalda
Jfyi, keep in mind, that Zoom is only available on an Apple computer, as is 
VoiceOver. So you'll need to go to a store, that sells Macs, to try these.

Re: OT: Need Assistance for Blind Youth with Finding Accessible Audio Software

2014-10-29 Thread Pete Nalda
Zoom is much more advanced than close view. It offers font smoothing,and 
picture-in-picture (windowed)zooming with shaping (using 
shift+control+option+right/left arrow keys when voiceover is off). It also 
offers color inverting and font smoothing as well.

Yes!  Try signing into FaceTime on your iPad, then try dialing a number from 
your contacts.  It should work, as it did on my Macbook Pro. Note that also, 
you DO need both devices on the same Wifi network. So, with the phone settings 
I mentioned earlier, which it seems you have set, then FaceTime signed into, it 
should work.

Found out how to receive calls on your Mac

2014-10-24 Thread Pete Nalda
Supposing you have Yosemite and 8.1 on your phone, the way to receive or make 
calls on the Mac is to sign into FaceTime then on your phone you have to turn 
on cellular forwarding as well as messages forwarding. Hope this helps.

Re: Sms via ipad and mac does not work.

2014-10-23 Thread Pete Nalda
Ok.  I got this from another list.  I'm still not sure how to answer phone 
calls on my Mac yet.  They're not showing up on the Mac for some reason,  but 
here goes for messaging.

Text (SMS/MMS)
 
On the iPhone, go to Settings-Messages-Text Message Forwarding If you are 
on the same wifi network as your iPad and Mac(s), they will show up, if they 
are on iOS8.1/Yosemite. You can select them.  From what a friend advised when 
he was at work and upgraded to 8.1, that setting was not there, so I assume it 
will be invisible if not applicable.
 
Calls
 
On the iPhone, go to Settings-Facetime-iPhone Cellular calls  and select to on
