Welcome to another witty instalment of the Cork Tech Club Notes. Just kick up
those Paws and Hooves and come and join the adventures. we had nine Happy
clappy individuals in attendance today.
Derry and the entire Cork Tech Club wish to Congratulate Mary Lavelle on
winning her award at the retina conference. Mary was greatly admired by
members of the cork group for her excellent work on the support groups she was
involved with.
Jackie started off the tech with an update from her weird email issue last
week. If you all remember when swiping through her emails different text was
being read out by voiceover.Bert posted an interesting piece to the list in
relation to follow up suggestions in the mail settings. If this is on it can
cause what was described by Jackie However, when she went into mail settings
this mode was already off. So Jackie just turned it on and counted to ten and
turned it off again. Once Jackie did this the problem looks to have been fixed.
Jackie will keep a close eye on this to ensure it continues.
Jackie also told us about her ordeal with Bank Of Ireland, she sent a snooty
tweet to BOI and after a few choice words Jackie received a complaints
form.This was successfully filled out so now Jackie waits. It took Jackie an
hour to finally get through the strong customer authentication. The experience
Jackie shared started a conversation of other companies and their lack of
awareness of talking to a blind person. Even though they have been told the
eyes don't work they still ask about the colour of the lights on the device.
Mastodon was briefly mentioned as twitter seems to be going in the wrong
direction.
Chris asked about the sleep mode on the audible app. cearbhall talked Chris
through accessing it.Sleep mode can be accessed via the mini player.
Alexa featured highly in our discussion with Dominique showing us the sound
quality of her 5th Generation Echo dot. Jackie has purchased one of these new
devices on amazon as they have been reduced in their sale witch started on
Friday November 18th.
We also spoke about the RTE Player and Company of RTE and the fact that
stuff isn't accessible but RTE appear to be working on it. So much like Bank of
Ireland we'll wait and see what happens.
Books were discussed and also the different platforms that is used.Martin
told us of one that he accesses via YouTube.
Cearbhall spoke about the art thing he was at and Martin asked me to remind
everyone about the Seen/Unseen in the Crawford Art Gallery on Friday the 25th
of November at 2.30pm
Books made a reappearance along with the Culinary yummies of our dogs were
discussed and at this point it was suggested the conversation had entered the
gutter.
Andrea Bocelli was listened to and admired some of us only found out he is
Blind. It was said that he doesn't seem to use his white cane to come out onto
the stage. We were listening to a story from our Cheif of Tech just sadly the
green lights must have stopped flashing as we lost Cearbhall.
The meeting ended with mention of the C word that should be followed with Ba
Humbug.
All have a good Saturday.
