any idea of accessible ovens and stoves and dishwashes with tactual labels or whatever I can use? I would want this to be accessible an universally inclusive for not just I but my family as well. I now of whirlpool but maybe there is something better out there. and it does not have to talk, but I want ideas.

If someone with better coding experience than I can look into this (I have close to none), that would be awesome.

I'm blanking. I want to do a mini writeup on how I document time via google sheets and validation rules. I'm not scripting anything, but I want to post it on GitHub for folks to read. How do I do this again? How do I create a mini website again? It' won't be much but I want to help my fellow colleagues both outgoing and incoming and maybe make some notes for myself as I tend to forget a lot now a days.
By the way if anyone else wants it I can make the repo read only public, I think?
It’s #wrensday!
*screams*
I cannot tell you how refreshing Joshua Citarella’s Doomscroll is. He’s the Roman Mars of politics. Listen & support!
I get why some #AI companies need to resort to usage-based pricing, but from a user-centered perspective, it’s completely bonkers.
Let me explain.
The better the AI agent, the less you need to iterate, right?
Ideally, it just gets it right from the first prompt.
The more you iterate, the higher your usage.
Still with me?
So usage-based billing = the worse the AI software, the more it costs!
In which other industry would this fly? 🤔
in #nvda, is ther a way I can skip a graphic that chrome is discribing? I have to down arrow and sometimes the discriptions can be quite long.
Well, it turns out all of my work is for not. I don't have write permissions to push the branch I created. I don't know how I will get these changes to the dev now.
Apparently Calvin and Hobbes are among the books purged from some Tennessee school libraries.

I know of a handful of accessibility specialists who were impacted by yesterday’s RIF at Microsoft. If you’re looking for amazing accessibility talent (PMs and Engineering Managers), please reach out.
so, I'm still trying to find an accessible regex tester which will go through my expression and tell me what it matches to and or what it does not, if anything is wrong and what things mean. I thought I found one but yeah it's not working as intended. it's good but I could use something less cluttered. Does anyone have any ideas here? I'm using NVDA. Shurley there has got to be something out there where I'm not stuck in a keyboard trap, I don't lose focus, Can see the expression and what it means when I type it in and as I edit it, match testing etc. Plus, if I use the pipe which I guess means "or" I can see that too.

wo! almost forgot to save the changes I was working on for a client. I would have wanted to scream had I not done so. Oh my gosh, there would have went almost 3 hours of work, gone.
