Anyone who is blind, or who has worked with the blind, knows how expensive our technology can be. This couldn't be more true with relation to braille displays. Even the cheapest costs at least $799, and it's already behind the newest in that line, at $899. This is the Orbit Reader 20 and 20+. Now, a student in India wants to change that by creating a display that is truly affordable (under $50)! Please pass this on, so that we can give him greater recognition within the blind community. Even if it costs a bit more than he initially suspected it would, there is no excuse for the $2,000 to $5,000 average price of such technology when cheaper alternatives can be designed! He is determined to bring this to market, so let's help him do it and show our appreciation for his hard work on this life-changing project!

disassembly is second nature to us reversers, so it's easy to forget that the average person probably only knows the basics of the win32 api and one or two instruction sets

Ok, I have an odd quasi mutual aid request:
Are there folks who would like to send me their old corded (not bluetooth) headphones and/or earbuds? Like just mail me kit you don't use.
I don't have any backups any more and my fav headphones need repairs, so want to stock up on other options.
I am in Ontario Canada, fyi for shipping feasibility.
Tagging #actuallyAutistic because ya'll know how important headphones are. 💛

Looking at my busted pair of bluetooth headphones and I'm increasingly tempted to tear them down for parts because they are so anti-repair it's infuriating
Epoxied wires. Epoxied caps over the screws. Cold-soldered surface-mount headphone jacks. I still don't know what the hell self-destructed with the ANC.
🦊 "System" things - things with system in the name - are just inherently funny to us now, in the same way "trans-thing" names are funny.

Idk how “alt text trains AI” started as a Thing People Believe but like: no. Training diffusion/vision models requires annotation work that’s way more involved than even the best alt text out there.
This is why I get so annoying about people being at least somewhat aware of how AI bullshit works so they can tell that “alt text trains AI” is just another variant of “AI is super powerful and will rule over humans”. Tech literacy, people.
The best thing an AI company could do with alt text is maybe use their own model, generate an alt text for a given image and compare against the human-made alt text but like… that’s no excuse to not describe your images.
Thinking about Sachi again.
I'm so happy that Squishy has such a cute mascot
