    Episode 175 - No Privacy Wonking Going On Here
    Apr 13 2025

    It’s an all new That Real Blind Tech Show. Allison, Brian, Ed, and Jeanine are back together with all their wackiness and latest tech news.

    We start off with what else but President Trump, as Trump signed an executive order to make showers great again. Staying with politics, is it A.I. or A1? The Social Security Admin announced it will be moving all future communication with the press and the public to X.

    We then discuss how much we love Innosearch.ai. And you can now call Innosearch.ai at 800-55-ShopGPT.

    A company claimed to be using A.I. for all checkout on its site only to be exposed to actually be using no A.I. and actually using people.

    Get ready for the accessibility of DoorDash to get even worse as they are now experimenting with robot delivery.

    Apple hurriedly shipped 600 tons of iPhones to the U.S. A behind the scenes look at Apple tells us that the disaster of Siri has been a multi-year managerial massive car wreck.

    Opera showcased the future of web browsing and if it is accessible, it sounds impressive. Which then leads us to discussing the new Guide thing which could be a thing or not a thing.

    If you allow it, ChatGPT will now remember your conversation history.

    Meta claims its new version of A.I. is less woke.

    A recent survey finds that most Americans don’t trust A.I. or the people behind it.

    We then dive in to some new products we have bought, including the must have sofa chair, the Starlight Zero Gravity Recliner. Allison is back in the Sonos ecosystem which then led to a conversation on what speakers we all have in our pads.

    And it’s a very special much longer version then ever of What’s Pissing off Brian Now, and a normal size version of Watcha Streaming, Watcha Reading.

Google’s Gemini will now let you make A.I. conversational podcasts from deep research. Oh god, just what we need more podcasts. A new video game initiative will make it a lot easier for disabled gamers to discover which video games are accessible to them. The European Accessibility Act (EAA) will be going in to effect on June 25, 2025, is this the accessibility act that we have been screaming for for years? We then dive in to the good and bad of asking or accepting sighted assistance when traveling. Does this make you a bad blind person? It’s not a good time to be Apple as their A.I. crisis has escalated with a major executive shake up. In the most obvious class action lawsuit of all time, Apple is being sued over false advertising for Apple Intelligence. A analyst posed the best question to Apple, are they having their Windows Vista Moment? And no, that is not a good thing! We then discuss the demise of the Celeste Glasses. Are is coming to iOS, will you get it? Brian then discusses yet another epic trip to this year’s CSUN where he also was a presenter for the first time. We play a few fun demos from the presentation including the new fad hitting the nation, the Be My A.I. Celebrity Doppelgänger Challenge. If you try it at home please email us in your Celebrity doppelgänger so we can read it on the show at ThatRealBlindTechshow@gmail.com Brian then dives in to his full week at CSUN recapping the best parts from the people he met, the exhibit hall, sessions, and of course the parties and nightlife at CsUN.

    Feb 24 2025
    It’s an all new That Real Blind Tech Show with the entire gang here as Allison, Brian, Ed and Jeanine discuss the latest tech news, or in this case lack of news. We kick things off discussing the death of the Humane A.I. Pin, really, Humane, we barely got to know you! uBer wants to making riding with your service dog easier. If you are rich off your ass and afraid to walk down the streets of New York City on your own, there’s now an app for that! We then dive in to Allison’s issues with her latest experience with Mac OS Sequoia. Apple announced the iPhone 16E, we discuss the device and who it is for. The great news for blind people interested in the iPhone 16E is that it will support Apple visual Intelligence. Google is rolling out Google Lens Search to its iOS apps, it will most likely not be accessible, but one of us has an idea how to make it accessible. Brian then discusses the HomePod hell he is living in. The conversation then turns to asking the question is accessibility going down hill because of privacy and extreme security concerns? On a somewhat related note, apple has refused England’s demand to create a back door to its devices. We then discuss a few apps we love using in the work place. We then preview this year’s CSUN Assistive Tech Conference taking place in Anaheim, CA March 10 to the 14th, as a certain someone will be presenting at this year’s conference.

    Feb 9 2025
    It’s an all new That Real Blind Tech Show with Allison, Brian, and David. We kick things off discussing the fascinating article about a Gaming Accessibility Advocate that may have never actually existed! Next we discuss some guys who started a scam and learned the hard way that it is probably not a good idea to call the people you are pretending to actually be! A company called Zulu has released an iPad Death case that allows you to take all your secrets with you to the grave. Amazon is rumored to be unveiling Conversational Alexa on February 26th. The conversation then moves to discussing the battery life in Smart Glasses and what this means for the future of Smart Glasses. The Icon Factory has released a new social Media app called Tapestry. We then tackle the latest in A.I. DeepSeek, and our thoughts about using an A.I coming from China. If a certain Senator has his way using DeepSeek will land you in the slammer! No surprise as it has already been discovered that DeepSeek is sending its users information to Chinese government servers. If you are not going to trust an A.I coming from China, how about one coming from France? How odd, Google’s Super Bowl Gemini commercial shows off what A.I. does best, hallucinating. Don’t expect Apple Glasses any time soon. David then fills us in about his NFB D.C. experience meeting with politicians to make blind and low vision people lives better. Oh, what a nice guy. Brian then discusses his experience getting his guide dog Wesley’s vaccination records updated with the airlines. And it’s more of Watcha Streaming, Watcha Reading.
