Subject: [fb-exchange] Cork TechClub the 8th of May
Its that time of the week again. Come inside the Cork TechClub. In
attendance today we had the following people: Ken Walsh, Derry Walsh, Chris
Egan, Martha Parkinson, Noreen Meagher, Jackie McBrearty, Dominique
Farrell, Martin Kelly, Cearbhall O'Meadhra, Gavin Allman, Clare Cassidy and
Sean Kavanagh.
We had sorries from Pat Walsh.
Cearbhall started with his disappearing on screen keyboard which vanished
from his new SE2020 iPhone. Cearbhall rang Ken but didn't ring Jackie who
also experienced this issue with her 11. So after sour grapes the notes
continued with, Cearbhall ringing apple accessibility and they made
suggestions to do a full reset and such like. I'll shorten this story
Cearbhall got his issue finally sorted by using the rotor and putting it
to
typing mode. When Jackie had the issue she did a settings reset first and
this sorted her issue for a while. The next time it happened she connected
her bluetooth keyboard and called up the emogy keyboard. The setting reset
did not solve Cearbhall's issue, he did not know about calling up the emogie
keyboard. The common denominator seems to be bluetooth keyboards however,
there is no scientific proof but its personal opinion.
Jackie told us all about getting her Orbit Braille reader. This device will
soon be falling off the back of a truck really soon. Cearbhall told her the
most vital piece of information, he told her how to locate the on/off
button.
This button is located on the back of the device on the left.
Dominique spoke about a webbing hour she attended about the NaviBelt.
Dominique has already posted a link to the podcast to the list. This
expensive device will keep the wearer straight especially when crossing
roads. Its pricey. We did discuss other apps like clew that would also offer
directional information, this information will only be available for the
return journey or for a stored route. We also talked about the we walk app
and cane, as Clare was asking about something that could be attached to the
cane. Whatsapp got discussed twice so this note taker has decided to lump
both questions together.
Clare asked about deleting a whatsapp group and or all the messages in the
chat. Jackie and Sean both echoed to not open the messages but just swipe
down to more and follow the instructions. Ken said about just muting the
group and that way you'll get no notifications.
Derry brought up an issue with his Thursday night Whatsapp quiz group.
Martha and others attempted to get Derry in for an hour or so but it just
wasn't getting him in. Martha initiated the call and once everyone was in
then she tried to add Derry into it but still no luck. This group will have
a practice run before Thursday encase it was a connectivity issue.
Cearbhall was interested in the set up Martha uses when working from home.
Martha told us her system can crash because the setup with the memory and
stuff can't handle jaws. Martha uses her own internet connection without
using a VPN, microsoft exchange softphone and Jaws2020. The internal
messaging is sskype for business, its not overly friendly with jaws.
Derry had an issue with getting into a whatsapp group call.
Ken sang the praises of Martin Kelly after his info about using the same
link for a zoom meeting in the 40min mode with the free account. Ken had a
successful meeting with only needing to send out the one link.
Noreen asked Martin about his shell phone. Martin is still singing the
praises of this phone but he still uses his iPhone for the navigation apps.
This phone would be perfect for a person who just wants talk and text.
Clare is considering once restrictions ease to go diving in the Great
Barrier Reef. Clare wanted to know what technology would be available to go
diving as a blind person. It was suggested to also have a sighted person
along as technology could fail at the point the Great white is heading
towards you with mouth open.
The meeting ended without sharks although Jaws was mentioned a few times.
All have a good one and don't have nightmares about sharks and microwaving
cameras and washing phones.
