Are Braille Bugs Biting You In iOS 16? Here Is Some Bug Repellent To Help

I mean, ok, but not if you use a Brailliant or Mantis Q40 display. Those new e-Readers being distributed by NLS? Nope, not those either. Chameleon 20? NOPE! So I guess it's not fun for everyone, is it? I guess it is for me, but that's because I'm on an iPhone.

This is a decent written summary of some of the new changes, but punctuation grouping and the rotor options for things like the Dot Pad already exist on iOS 15.6. Not on the SE 2 or 3, but on any of the later flagship phones.

If you're a #Braille display user you're probably familiar with the Brailliant line of displays. We sat down with 2 representatives from HumanWare to learn all about their new BI20X and BI40X models: braillecast.com/podcast/e026

Did you know the first regularly-captioned TV program was PBS's The French Chef in 1972, a cooking show hosted by the famous Julia Child? Now you do! Bon appétit.
Kudos to @mgh_id for providing a soothing & accessible (and oh so Boston!) distraction to those in today's waiting room:
@GBH on TV ✅
Captions turned on ✅
Note telling people NOT to turn captions off ✅
Julia Child calmly making pâté (in an often anxiety-inducing environment)✅
ALT Wall-mounted TV in hospital waiting room displays a captioned broadcast of Julia Child's The French Chef on WGBH 44 (Boston's local PBS station). Two signs are attached to the front of the television. One reads: Closed Captions are on to provide access for our Deaf and Hard of Hearing patients. And the second reminds everyone that captions should not be turned off: Closed Captioning Should Remain On.
