p>A discussion happened around iPhones and IOS updates. Cearbhall was ha=
ving issues with his phone locking and he was having  difficulties unlo=
cking it. It was suggested to take the auto lock off.Jackie w=
as saying since Monday's update her phone is always stuck in the status bar.=
Jackie brought up about her air to water charges, she will re=
port back when she knows for sure what her bill actually will be compared to=
before the heating was put in.Martin told us that his sounds=
cape was sorted out. Deleting the app worked. <=
span class=3D"s8" style=3D"text-decoration: underline;">we were told about a=
system called Level  pay this is with  B=C3=B3rd G=C3=A1s this is=
 when you pay a certain amount a month. This Money is taken out of you=
r bank  account. We were told the credits given by the government has b=
uilt up on their account, one needs to give permission for them to use the m=
oney thats in credit on their account. Jackie w=
as asking about JAWS 23 and no one had downloaded it. Jackie was also asking=
about creating a short cut for NVDA using windows11. this is a work in prog=
ress.  Cearbhall asked about our favourite apps over this w=
eek. We all answered and apps like Seeing AI, soundscape, facebook, be my ey=
es,  youtube, ticktock, podcast apps and  voice dream reader featu=
red strongly,  This was a fantastic discussion on our various apps we u=
se daily. We also talked about using the white cane and very little peo=
ple actually knowing the purpose of the white cane. this  gave some ver=
y funny stories. We  also talked about sticking candles into your ears.=
This candling is best done with a professional rather than a DIY job. =
Jackie swears  by it.We all took off on our broom sticks=
and the meeting ended. Dublin Tech Club will be happenin=
g as normal on Monday the 31st.  Lady Witch wishes you all a=
very happy and spooky Halloween. Its also hoped all Guide Dogs are OK with f=
ireworks.</td></tr></tbody></table> <div dir=3D"ltr">Sent from=
