Today on the show, Steven and Shaun talk through some big tech news stories, including the latest updates from Twitter following leaked conversations from a meeting held Monday, November 21, by Elon Musk to his team. Plus, there's news on a new Braille display from Bristol Braille Technology which is focused on enabling blind people to play and create their own Braille games, like Snake or Hangman.

The low cost of storage these days means that putting an extra drive in your PC and mirroring your cloud storage is a simple and cheap solution to this problem. Phillip Wray on Point and click adventures - the Tex Murphy series are my favourites! Frank Niethardt I loved adventures back in the 90s. All of the titles that Gareth spoke about rang a bell somewhere. Most of them I played as well. In recent years I found it hard to find anything comparable. The Deponia series was recommended to me and I can recommend it myself. Could be a good starting point for Ted.

Show Notes The power of experience for adults in teaching - The holidays are rushing towards us - Welcome to the Debby Downer holiday gift review! - It may be a challenging shopping season - Still significant post-pandemic supply chain issues - What are the hot tech toys for 2021? - Fire HD 10 Kids Pro tablet - The latest and greatest kid-centric Amazon Fire gives kids more freedom to explore via a digital store where kids can request apps (pending parental approval). They can also make video and voice calls and play all their favorite age-appropriate games. - Google Stadia - Stadia is a blast. Let's start there. Once you're set up, having the ability to play anywhere you want, is pretty great. The games are fun, well-rendered, hook you quickly, and we had really good experiences in terms of resolution on our TV and frankly our Chrome browser too. The entire set up for Google Stadia is $99 — and that includes one month free access to games, with pricing $9.99 a month after that. This is a fun option for families (especially parents) particularly as a budget entertainment option at home — and a great treat for the holidays. - Nintendo Switch - Nearly every child (and many adults!) have the Nintendo Switch on their holiday list. This on-the-go-slash-household device is great for keeping kids entertained with family-friendly games and also makes for a fun family game night. It's also one of the tech gifts you'll want to keep for yourself. - Osmo Math Wizard & the Magical Workshop - Osmo Math Wizard & the Magical Workshop makes learning fun and interactive, providing a smart way to use screen time. While Osmo offers a range of programming for all ages, this one in particular caters to those six to eight, teaching addition and subtraction via hands-on play. In order to use it, an Osmo Base for iPad or Fire Tablet and an iPad or Fire Tablet are required. - Play.date - Handheld game console with a crank designed by a software company called Panic - What are factors that parents should consider? - Should you opt out of the shopping splurge altogether? - Used or refurbished? - Experiences instead of things?

Is more a good idea? - Have you discussed rules regarding the use of new toys or gadgets with your spouse? Are you ready to discuss those rules (and enforce) them with your child? - Consider toys that are interactive, emphasize physical skills, and family interaction - Tech gifts and gaming devices can certainly be a family activity, if you are actually interacting while you play - There are no supply chain issues for your time and interaction with your child - Resources - #2021–11–07 How to Buy Nothing New This Holiday Gifting Season “https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/07/opinion/culture/holiday-gift-shopping-secondhand.html” - #2021–11–05 59 Best Gifts for Kids 2021 “https://www.rd.com/list/gifts-for-kids/” - #2021–11–04 Here are the hottest toys of the 2021 holiday season, according to Amazon “https://www.cbsnews.com/essentials/amazon-hottest-toys-holiday-season–2021/” - #2021–11–03 PARENTS Names The Best Toys Of 2021 “https://finance.yahoo.com/news/parents-names-best-toys–2021–142600120.html” - #2021–10–25 The Best Subscription Boxes for Kids “https://www.pcmag.com/picks/the-best-subscription-boxes-for-kids” - #2021–10–20 The Ultimate Holiday Tech Gift Guide for Parents 2021 “https://www.gearbrain.com/high-tech-gifts-guide-parents–2493419810.html” - #2021–10–15 The Hottest Tech Toys for Kids “https://www.pcmag.com/picks/the-hottest-tech-toys-for-kids” - #2021–09–23 These Are the Hottest Toys for the Holidays, According to The Toy Insider “https://tinybeans.com/toy-insider-hot-toys/”

Marc returns to a slightly chaotic Double Tap Canada this week as no one is quite sure how long the show should be. A quick call to the boss should clear things up. What could possibly go wrong… After a quick discussion about Steven's new watercooler, Marc's refurbished iPhones and testing if Facebook is listening to our diaper conversations, it's on to the first tech story of the week, Amazon's new line of Fire tablets. Starting with the Fire Tablet 10 - which features a more powerful 8-core processor, a brighter 10-inch HD display & 3GB of RAM which is a definite improvement over previous models - there is also the Fire Tablet 10 Plus, which ups the RAM to 4GB and includes wireless charging. Amazon is also offering a productivity bundle, which includes the Fire Plus tablet along with an attachable keyboard and 1-year subscription to Office 365. Everyone agrees that, for the price, these are great tablets. So why is it Shaun has two that he never uses? Also new this week is a new range of laptops from Samsung. The Galaxy Book range feature a choice of Intel CPU's, full-sized keyboards, both wi-fi and mobile connectivity, and the Galaxy Book 360 has a versatile display allowing you to use the laptop like a tablet, including touchscreen and S-Pen support. Speakinging of laptops, Steven tells us why he's replaced his new M1 MacBook Pro with the M1 MacBook Air. Spoiler alert: it's all about the Touch bar. In software and services news, Steven has been trying out the recently-updated Microsoft Remote Desktop Client software, which allows him to remotely control his Windows computers from his M1 Macs. All the audio from the remote computer can be streamed back to the computer you are using, meaning that it's totally accessible for screen reader users. Steven is impressed, but can he get it to work on an iPad? Finally, it's on to Facebook Audio. With yet another platform jumping onto the Club House bandwagon, is there any reason to get excited by Facebook's offering? Shaun thinks so. Also, Spotify has announced that they are going to be offering a pay to subscribe podcast service similar to Apple's recent announcement. Does this signal a complete change to the way we listen to podcasts and are people really prepared to pay?

Capitol Hill Eruptions and Disruptions, Fire Tablet, Staten Island Bar Owner Arrested, Lucky's Debut, Winter
In this episode we start by thanking everyone that was able to join us last Friday for our virtual open house. A good time was had by all. Next we talk about three new products that are either available such as our Fire Tablet tutorial.
Welcome back Tech Talk fans, we hope this week's show finds you well. Steven, Robin, Andy and Tim return for another hour of tech-delight courtesy of RNIB Connect Radio.. Unsurprisingly, we begin this week with One More Thing, Apple's third event in as many months, which was broadcasting their new Mac range - the MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and Mac Mini, now with the new M1 chips designed and built by themselves. So what does this mean, in the larger picture? Are these new products worth an investment of our hard-earned money? Does dropping Intel signal the death knell for them? Which of these products do our Apple fanboys have in their online shopping cart already? Also this week, RNIB's Paul Porter returns to the show to talk us through the Dolphin Easy Reader app now being available on the Fire Tablet range, and we're also joined by Chris Turner from the Technology For Life Team, who is telling us all about custom iOS gestures. All that, plus maybe, just maybe, a quick dive into your emails. If Steven allows it. TechTalk@RNIB.org.uk (mailto:TechTalk@RNIB.org.uk) for your questions, queries and comments!
RNIB and Amazon have been working together on a number of projects over the past year, including Amazon donating a number of Fire Tablet devices so they could be distributed to blind and partially sighted people.Steven Scott found out more about the partnership with Amazon's Dennis Stansbury and RNIB's Gary Brunskill.Image shows a selection of Amazon Fire HD 8 tablets in a variety of colours, arranged on top of each other in a spiral.

In the Name of God, the Most Ancient, the Most Great.Indeed the hearts of the sincere are consumed in the fire of separation: Where is the gleaming of the light of Thy Countenance, O Beloved of the worlds?Those who are near unto Thee have been abandoned in the darkness of desolation: Where is the shining of the morn of Thy reunion, O Desire of the worlds?The bodies of Thy chosen ones lie quivering on distant sands: Where is the ocean of Thy presence, O Enchanter of the worlds?Longing hands are uplifted to the heaven of Thy grace and generosity: Where are the rains of Thy bestowal, O Answerer of the worlds?The infidels have arisen in tyranny on every hand: Where is the compelling power of Thine ordaining pen, O Conqueror of the worlds?The barking of dogs is loud on every side: Where is the lion of the forest of Thy might, O Chastiser of the worlds?Coldness hath gripped all mankind: Where is the warmth of Thy love, O Fire of the worlds?Calamity hath reached its height: Where are the signs of Thy succor, O Salvation of the worlds?Darkness hath enveloped most of the peoples: Where is the brightness of Thy splendor, O Radiance of the worlds?The necks of men are stretched out in malice: Where are the swords of Thy vengeance, O Destroyer of the worlds?Abasement hath reached its lowest depth: Where are the emblems of Thy glory, O Glory of the worlds?Sorrows have afflicted the Revealer of Thy Name, the All-Merciful: Where is the joy of the Dayspring of Thy Revelation, O Delight of the worlds?Anguish hath befallen all the peoples of the earth: Where are the ensigns of Thy gladness, O Joy of the worlds?Thou seest the Dawning Place of Thy signs veiled by evil suggestions: Where are the fingers of Thy might, O Power of the worlds?Sore thirst hath overcome all men: Where is the river of Thy bounty, O Mercy of the worlds?Greed hath made captive all mankind: Where are the embodiments of detachment, O Lord of the worlds?Thou seest this Wronged One lonely in exile: Where are the hosts of the heaven of Thy Command, O Sovereign of the worlds?I have been forsaken in a foreign land: Where are the emblems of Thy faithfulness, O Trust of the worlds?The agonies of death have laid hold on all men: Where is the surging of Thine ocean of eternal life, O Life of the worlds?The whisperings of Satan have been breathed to every creature: Where is the meteor of Thy fire, O Light of the worlds?The drunkenness of passion hath perverted most of mankind: Where are the daysprings of purity, O Desire of the worlds?Thou seest this Wronged One veiled in tyranny among the Syrians: Where is the radiance of Thy 217 dawning light, O Light of the worlds?Thou seest Me forbidden to speak forth: Then from where will spring Thy melodies, O Nightingale of the worlds?Most of the people are enwrapped in fancy and idle imaginings: Where are the exponents of Thy certitude, O Assurance of the worlds?Bahá is drowning in a sea of tribulation: Where is the Ark of Thy salvation, O Savior of the worlds?Thou seest the Dayspring of Thine utterance in the darkness of creation: Where is the sun of the heaven of Thy grace, O Lightgiver of the worlds?The lamps of truth and purity, of loyalty and honor, have been put out: Where are the signs of Thine avenging wrath, O Mover of the worlds?Canst Thou see any who have championed Thy Self, or who ponder on what hath befallen Him in the pathway of Thy love? Now doth My pen halt, O Beloved of the worlds.The branches of the Divine Lote-Tree lie broken by the onrushing gales of destiny: Where are the banners of Thy succor, O Champion of the worlds?This Face is hidden in the dust of slander: Where are the breezes of Thy compassion, O Mercy of the worlds?The robe of sanctity is sullied by the people of deceit: Where is the vesture of Thy holiness, O Adorner of the worlds?The sea of grace is stilled for what the hands of men have wrought: Where are the waves of Thy bounty, O Desire of the worlds?The door leading to the Divine Presence is locked through the tyranny of Thy foes: Where is the key of Thy bestowal, O Unlocker of the worlds?The leaves are yellowed by the poisoning winds of sedition: Where is the downpour of the clouds of Thy bounty, O Giver of the worlds?The universe is darkened with the dust of sin: Where are the breezes of Thy forgiveness, O Forgiver of the worlds?This Youth is lonely in a desolate land: Where is the rain of Thy heavenly grace, O Bestower of the worlds?O Supreme Pen, We have heard Thy most sweet call in the eternal realm: Give Thou ear unto what the Tongue of Grandeur uttereth, O Wronged One of the worlds!Were it not for the cold, how would the heat of Thy words prevail, O Expounder of the worlds?Were it not for calamity, how would the sun of Thy patience shine, O Light of the worlds?Lament not because of the wicked. Thou wert created to bear and endure, O Patience of the worlds.How sweet was Thy dawning on the horizon of the Covenant among the stirrers of sedition, and Thy yearning after God, O Love of the worlds.By Thee the banner of independence was planted on the highest peaks, and the sea of bounty surged, O Rapture of the worlds.By Thine aloneness the Sun of Oneness shone, and by Thy banishment the land of Unity was adorned. Be patient, O Thou Exile of the worlds.We have made abasement the garment of glory, and affliction the adornment of Thy temple, O Pride of the worlds.Thou seest the hearts are filled with hate, and to overlook is Thine, O Thou Concealer of the sins of the worlds.When the swords flash, go forward! When the shafts fly, press onward! O Thou Sacrifice of the worlds.Dost Thou wail, or shall I wail? Rather shall I weep at the fewness of Thy champions, O Thou Who hast caused the wailing of the worlds.Verily, I have heard Thy Call, O All-Glorious Beloved; and now is the face of Bahá flaming with the heat of tribulation and with the fire of Thy shining word, and He hath risen up in faithfulness at the place of sacrifice, looking toward Thy pleasure, O Ordainer of the worlds.O ‘Alí-Akbar, thank thy Lord for this Tablet whence thou canst breathe the fragrance of My meekness, and know what hath beset Us in the path of God, the Adored of all the worlds.Should all the servants read and ponder this, there shall be kindled in their veins a fire that shall set aflame the worlds.—Bahá’u’lláhP. 312 Read by ScottSubscribe in a reader
