You're welcome Wiktoria.
Depending on the project, coding language, and environment, debugging can
differ and might require additional extensions added to VS Code. It's not
always straightforward. For example, for C/C++ you'll need a compiler. I'm
sure the lecturer will cover this.

Hi Wiktoria,
in VS Code, it's F5 to run the code with debugging or CTRL + F5 to run
without debugging. What language is it?
Cheers,

Hello
Everyone!
It sounds like you had an good meeting.
I am very sorry but was not able to join you for the meeting as first I
am studying hard in college and also feeling badly sick too.
So I had hard about the purpose smpart braille but is an good thing I do
not know from my point few like I am huge braille user. I would recomned
an braille notetaker or an braille display but unfortunately they are very
expensive but VI had funding for these type of devices. I had used the
funding 3 tims from VI now it does take an long time I sometimes an year or
longer.
It would be great to have some cheaper braille devices like I would be
list with an braille display. I am using a braille dispaly I would be
list as my hearing is o bad and screen reeaders are o use to me this is why
I like the braille dispalys.
Unfortunately they are not so good for everything.
I have an quick question any of us use visual studio code?
I am using it and would like to know how to run the code.
Also have proboems to read the output of the terminal is there any advise
please and thanks.
Best Wishes Wiktoria

*Cork Technology Club, 3rd February 2024*
Good morning, everyone. Happy New Year! The note-taker here, so sit back
and enjoy the read/listen today.
*11 participants.*
*Apologies received.*
The meeting started with the early participants discussing the recent
match that took place between Ireland and France, wherein Ireland won.
Woo-hoo, go Ireland!
Some people found the commentary on Virgin Media to be the best. Clare
mentioned the competition that Fighting Blindness sent out information
about regarding the cookery competition that is taking place in Belfast at
the Titanic Centre. We wish her the best of luck in taking part in it. The
information regarding the competition can be found here.

Martin asked what RSS stands for. The group went scrambling to ask their
devices. They eventually found an answer: RSS stands for Round Robin
Server. Dominique, however, figured out it was RSS feeds he was actually
trying to find the definition for.
The meeting suddenly crashed at this point, kicking everyone out of the
meeting unexpectedly. Cearbhall was finding it hard to enter the meeting
but eventually got in.
Cearbhall looked up the definition of RSS feed for Martin once he was
able to join the meeting. According to him, RSS feed means Really Simple
Syndication.
Helen asked the group what she has to do to bank online. She inquired
about the nick taken out of bank cards. Jackie said that she needs to
download the bank app to start online banking. The group was not sure if it
is accessible on Android. It was also recommended that she speak to her
bank for help as well. She also asked about passwords and if she would need
to change all her passwords to the same, the group reassured her that she
wouldn't have to do this. The group also discussed the way they manage
passwords for a while. JAWS and NVDA were briefly mentioned alongside the
Vision Academy that Vision Ireland is developing.
Annmaria asked about Bank of Ireland and how accessible it is on iPhone.
Jackie said that, according to her experience, it is not very accessible.
She finds that the timer for the strong customer authentication runs out
too quickly for blind and visually impaired users to manage.
Jackie brought up an email she received from Google; she was not sure if
it was genuine. She has had issues with Outlook. It tells her about an
email address that she doesn't remember setting up in the past. She is
quite confused. This was discussed for a while. This led to a discussion
about other people who had received similar emails before. Cearbhall said
that he received one of them during the week. The group feels that they
have become very sophisticated recently.
Jackie explained what a recovery email is to Cearbhall, who was not sure
what it was. A recovery email is a backup email address you use to get back
into your main email account if you forget your password or get locked out.
It helps you reset your password and keep your account safe.
Dominique mentioned that she feels VoiceOver can be a bit sticky on the
rotor during a phone call; Jackie agreed with her.
Cearbhall doesn't like the layout of his home screen. He feels that it is
too cluttered. Dominique explained how to delete widgets off his home
screen that she felt were causing the issues. He said that his Hable One is
the best way to navigate his phone, in his opinion. To delete widgets from
a home screen find actions on the rotor and engage edit mode, swipe up or
down until you hear delete then double tap.
Dominique mentioned her email that discusses the Perkins Brailler she
sent out yesterday. The description of the Brailler from the email was as
follows:
The Perkins Smart Brailler offers a more intuitive way for blind and
sighted people to communicate, teach, and learn Braille together. It has a
4-inch display and speaker to provide visual and audio feedback, which is
very useful to someone new to learning Braille and their teacher,
parent/guardian, or sighted friend. Like the standard Perkins, with the
front of the Perkins facing towards you, it has the 6 dot keys, the enter
and backspace keys, and the space bar key in the same position. The main
difference between the standard and Perkins Smart Brailler is that the
Perkins Smart Brailler has a few extra buttons, a menu and functions, and a
display, which I will discuss shortly. The Perkins Smart Brailler also
allows you to save files onto the internal flash disk or onto a USB key as
text files, which can be very useful if a teacher wants to correct work
from a student. It has a built-in rechargeable battery which should last
for around 5 hours.
Martin asked if anyone had experienced the Meta glasses. No one had done
so.
Martin said he thinks they are only €300.
Jackie mentioned she was at a very good webinar during the week. She was
very impressed with how it was run. It was to do with technology that
supports the deaf-blind. She felt that it was the best-run webinar she has
ever been to, very professionally run. Some of the features that she liked
included sign language, closed captions, chat only visible to hosts to
avoid screen readers making it difficult to hear, and alt text on photos
that were shown.
Helen asked about learning Braille. Jackie recommended doing a course
with Vision Ireland to learn it.
Martin explained how a Perkins Brailler works. It has six keys and works
like a typewriter.
Martin mentioned that he has come across a lot of packages in Lidl that
have Braille on them. He was shocked at how many packages had it.
Paul asked Martin if every lift had Braille in it. The group thought that
they did. Lifts also may have raised numbers or spoken numbers.
Annmaria asked how to navigate around text boxes on a document. Cearbhall
feels that she should be able to tab between the text boxes if they have
been implemented correctly. Press NVDA plus space, then tab according to
him. This will toggle between reading and edit mode.
Dominique asked if Martin's Brailler looks like the old ones that you
would have seen in primary school. Martin said that it is a very heavy
device.
Martin mentioned he had a stylus frame. To use it, you write from right
to left.
Cearbhall said he has been working with merging columns on Excel. You
cannot edit merged columns. The reason to use these is to make sure they
fit right on a piece of paper. He figured out how to unmerge the columns,
edit the data, and put them back as merged columns.
Clare wanted to know how to read messages with Siri. She would ask Siri
to read an email, and it would not read it back in its entirety. The group
suggested using VoiceOver instead of Siri to read messages. To do this,
swipe down with two fingers. The group also mentioned Read and Speak in the
touch settings. Clare concluded that VoiceOver was interfering with her
Siri.
The group started discussing the Apple Watch. Annmarie asked what the
benefits were of buying it. Jackie said she feels it is very good for
notifications. Ken does not feel it is worth the expense of buying it.
Jackie likes the notifications for blood pressure.
Dominique asked about Teams; she wanted to know if Zoom had a username
and password for every meeting like Teams. Jackie said it is if you do not
have an account.
Ken wished Ger a very happy birthday even though he was not there today.
Something special was created and played for him during the meeting. A copy
will be included as an attachment to these notes today.
The meeting ended at this point. Reminder: there will not be a meeting of
the Dublin Technology Club this Monday due to the bank holiday.
Regards,
The note-taker.
