A larger attendance than usual started with a look back at the
origins of RP Ireland from its early days in the 1980's compared to
the substantial growth in research activity today.
Both Pat and Clare reported receiving a message that their "voucher
has expired" as soon as they logged in to Zoom. As this was a new
event, no-one could offer an explanation. Research shows that
vouchers and coupons are available to discount various Zoom plans and
this implies that there is nothing to worry about here as personal accounts
are free for ever.
For those who would like to explore this further see:

Members expressed disappointment that Peter was leaving Fighting
blindness and wished him well for the future in his posting to NCBI.
Jackie was stricken with the Gaeilge literary bug and wondered how to
achieve the "sÃneadh fada " on vowels in Irish. She learned that
pressing the combination control+alt+' followed by any of the vowel
letters does the job and was delighted to share this discovery with the
meeting.
Here is a bit more on this for the curious:

Cearbhall regretted the passing of the "séimhiú", pronounced
“SHAY-voo,â€, which literally means “softening/gentlingâ€). He
has two of them in his own name!
Clare wanted some help with lights controlled by Alexa. Jackie and
Paul claimed a colourful plethora of smart bulbs, some of which have
the Lepro brand name. Smart plugs came next and Ken waded in with his
bedroom light.
Jackie topped it all by boasting that her 12 Alexa's control her
electric blanket. She accompanied this with a warm smile!
Joanne raised the question of responding to messages in WhatsApp. Ken
explained that she should swipe down with one finger for options and
find the send button in the list that appeared.
Since Facebook acquired WhatsApp, there is some confusion between
Messenger and WhatsApp. It was clarified that Messenger is a Facebook
messaging service and separate from WhatsApp.
Joanne explained that she had to remove Voiceover in order to
activate a chosen film in TikTok. Ken and Jackie agreed that this was
the only way to manage this function.
Paul was given the comfort that his deleted files and messages go to
the bin folder for 30 days from which they can be recovered if mistakenly
deleted.
The classic scanner app, KNFB Reader is now OneStep Reader AND IS
supported by Sensotek, a partner of the National federation of the
Blind in the US. It is available as "One step Reader" running on IOS and
Android.

The chat moved on to topics on VPN and buying goods not available in Ireland.
Mary Rose, an Android user, described her experience of talkback and
Alexa answering each other and causing chaos.
The meeting ended.
All the best,
Cearbhall
