Double Tap

For fans and followers of the #Artemis2 launch and flight you might wonder how to follow along if you’re #blind. On today’s show we meet @jakobrosin@universeodon.com who has created an accessible way to track the incredible journey. Listen on podcast and watch on YouTube.

Program note: We are not on air today or over the weekend as we take a little break but we will be back on Monday 6th April. For those who have already complained to us about this we are sorry but we do need a power down every so often. Love you all and have a great weekend!

I’m excited to be joining an upcoming Wireless Wednesday session on April 8th with the CNIB to talk all things AI and accessibility. We’ll dig into what’s actually changing right now for blind and low vision users — from real-world AI tools to the apps worth your time — followed by a live Q&A where you can ask anything.

These sessions are open, relaxed, and always full of great conversation with the community.

It all happens as part of CNIB’s Wireless Wednesday (1–3pm PT, national Zoom event)

The first benchmark scores are in for the new MacBook Neo. According to MacRumours, the performance of the A18 Pro chip is equivalent to the power of an M3 or M4 chip when running single-core tasks such as web browsing, running document apps or streaming video, and it performs more like an M1 in multi-core performance such as video editing and large audio editing projects. Sounds pretty good for £599!

New podcast alert! Always great to hear new voices in our world of assistive tech! Good luck to you all. @Stuart_haxell@caneandable.social
