Yes. Tails and Tor merged recently so this is basically an all-purpose anonymity browser and it's great to see it includes the Orca screen reader. However, bear in mind that as far as Macs are concerned, this one will only boot on Intel Macs, so not contemporary Apple Silicon Macs. The best you

Hi Donna: You mention not caring about camera and screen which I certainly agree with. I suspect most of us on this list would agree. I am likely not upgrading from my iPhone SE at this time, though were I to upgrade I'd be giving a serious look to the foldables available on the Android platform

Yes, Speak Battery Status is now a VoiceOver command, so you don’t need to use the shell script function. It can be reached as already mentioned with the VO-F8 three times, or you can assign it to any of the commanders that are available. > On Oct 1, 2024, at 12:21 PM, Hai Nguyen Ly wrote: >

Hi Pete, The swiping gesture isn’t that hard, I don’t think you’ll have much problem getting used to it. Now that you mention the audio, I’m remembering something about that from the Apple event. I’m glad you mentioned it, I would have completely forgotten about it. Now you’ve got me rethinki
