An aborted journey into accessible flight simulation
Updae: I heard back from talking flight monitor about eight hours after publishing this post. They sent a dropbox link to download the software; unfortunately, I get a message that says I don't have permission to access the content when clicking it. They also let me know that they can't send email to iCloud for whatever reason.
Android Days Five and Six: let's get appy!
I'm not saying I'll never write about Android ever again, of course. But at this point it feels like I have a working (and thus uninteresting) setup that seems unlikely to change in the near future.
Android day Four: Equality Achieved
Unfortunately, this morning I woke up to an unhappy surprise when I picked up my phone: Android had disabled full access for Jieshuo. Again. Why does this keep happening? It's possible to get it back on without sighted help, but it's still massively annoying. If the Android customizability is going to count as an advantage for the OS, the customizations you make really do need to stick for more than about 48 hours at a time. If I had had a medical emergency in the middle of the night, and picked up my phone to call for help, I'd have been utterly out of luck. Fiddling to get the screen reader back takes about ten minutes. In an actual life and death emergency, that's way too long to be survivable.
