Oh, I actually love these little modals that remind you to attach files for emails. They really are a life saver!

However, I do remember telling teachers that I really did forget to attach the file (when I actually didn't do the assignment) and I guess that excuse doesn't work anymore. 😅

I love Patreon's new web dark mode and they also even changed a lot of the buttons to have darker backgrounds with light text. (Actual dark mode)

Can we just fix the create button at the bottom left? It's glaringly bright. That would be lovely! 🙏

@YouTube... can we please have an option to turn off transparency on these menus? It is REALLY hard to read not only for contrast, but when the background is moving and changing, it's distracting and disorienting. 😰

You know you passed the 10K subscriber milestone when you start getting emails like this... not even a mention of what their product or service is! 😅

This is NOT dark mode. 😣

I'm preparing to setup my ally solos and part of that is updating the app and signing in. And SO much of the app has white text on a white background despite being in dark mode. That's so frustrating!

You know there's a problem when even the bug reporting dialog is buggy....

Image: Dialog reads BugSplatRC resource DLL not found with text overlapping from another dialog that has no background and didn't render correctly to restore a file.

Happy Independence Day!

I hope everyone has a wonderful day with family and friends. Also, stay safe out there with all those fireworks! 🎆🎇

Google has changed the placement of the accessibility settings within device settings for Pixel phones! 🙌 This is a change I can definitely get behind!

Guide is an AI tool that is under development that can take ACTION for you when something is not accessible. I shared my first ever experience trying it out for CoA members, but here's a preview! 😉 You can join on Patreon or become a YouTube member to see the full video!

This is a HUGE issue I've had with magnification on my Samsung S25 Ultra and some previous Samsung phones. When I first got this phone, it was perfectly fine, but after a factory reset, it started doing this. Samsung really needs to fix this or remove the rectangle altogether! #A11y

Maybe this is controversial, but the Samsung Watch 7 is SO much better than the Pixel Watch 3 in my experience! Talkback is more responsive, magnification is better, font is larger, battery life is longer, and speaker and voice is better! (read YouTube community post for more. 😉)

Gemini is definitely helpful, but when using Talkback, it can be very frustrating!

(Yes, you can toggle speech as a workaround, but it can be frustrating to have to do this repeatedly when those not using talkback don't have to.)

I recently ordered these coiled USB cables! I'm convinced they will help me with my cable management.... at least I hope. Steven Scott from Double Tap Podcast, this is your fault. 😂

If they work, I'll be buying more of these!

Lookout is Google's accessibility app for text and visual recognition. It can be helpful though it has room for improvement. Also, I strongly disagree with the design change for navigation. Here's more thoughts and insights from Accessible Android ➡️ https://buff.ly/40XmuY8

A friend sent me the blind barbie for my 31st birthday (never too old for toys, right?) It's a girl with a cane, just like my logo. I LOVE IT! If you're looking for a great gift, definitely check this one out ➡️ https://amzn.to/40TAMZI

I consider the tile an ACCESSIBILITY device! I don't know why it's so easy for me to lose things as a blind person, but being able to call my keys OR double press it to ring my phone is SO helpful! (I love the tile pro since it has a replaceable battery.)

Hello past self... what do you mean "FIX" as a task? And why is it in all caps? What did I forget this time?!

Really looking forward to seeing how the EchoVision Glasses from Agiga develops. I've pre-ordered and am hoping that they fulfill their promise... Read the alt text in this image! Don't forget to check out the interview I had with them, too!

Is it a DreamSky clock with three inch large numbers that helps me see the time when in a video meeting? Yes! Have I made a video on in before that you should watch? Yes! IS THERE AN RGB MODEL NOW? Yes!!

WILL CARRIE BUY IT? Well, I sure do want to!! 😭

Happy New Year! It's 2025 and let's get ready to THRIVE this year together.

I've got SOO many ideas this year and hope to execute on some plans that I can't quite share yet... 😄😉
