Description

It’s another fun-filled show this week: We begin with an update from Óran on the Apple Air Pod switching between iPhone and Apple Watch, spoiler alert: there is no real update!
 
The Blind Guys are concerned about the conflict in Ukraine. We don’t normally get serious, but we have a quick chat about this awful situation.
 
Jan is full of good cheer because he has just returned from his holiday in the Dutch Caribbean, ahem, or maybe not?
 
Stuart has an update on his install of Windows 11. Is it good or bad? He tells us what he thinks. Do you agree? Give us your views.
 
Our guest this week is Marco Zehe. Marco is an accessibility tester and developer and is well known for his work developing JAWS BrailleIn, and also his work on Mozilla. He is here to tell us about his life growing up in Hamburg, in 2 different schools, one school for the Blind and one for fully sighted students, and all about his podcast https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/barrierefreiheit/episode-6-braille-in-den-B3JhTi9mK6t/
 
We have some thoughts on Western Digital My Cloud Home drives and why to think twice about purchasing.
 
In TV corner, we have some recommendations to share: ‘Man up Stuart’ ahem… I mean “Man Up” on Amazon Prime, “The Good Place” (an oldie but a goodie), and “Pieces of Her”, both on Netflix.
 
We’ve got emails from Pete and Blind Gordon, an audio message from Derry, and a new make-up lady.
 
So, forget about the dramatic rise in living costs, stop stressing about your backups, and give Blind Guys Chat some lovin’ --- because we’re worth it!
