Episode Details

In this episode, Steven Scott and Shaun Preece are back from their break, diving into a mix of personal adventures and the latest in accessible technology. Steven shares his travel tales from a recent trip to Canada, where he explored Toronto, Calgary, Banff and Vancouver. Steven found the Meta Ray-Ban Frames smart glasses indispensable for capturing memories, despite their limited battery life. The glasses' ability to record and download videos to his phone proved invaluable for preserving the trip's highlights. Shaun, on the other hand, discusses his recent experiences with technology, including anticipation for trying out the new Be My Eyes Windows app. The conversation shifts to the latest tech news that broke during their hiatus, notably the Microsoft Surface event and the introduction of AI features in Windows, such as the recall function that tracks every action on the computer. They express excitement about the potential of these new developments, despite privacy concerns, and ponder how Apple will respond to these advancements in AI and processing power. The episode also touches on other tech updates, including the pre-order announcement for Glidance, a new AI-powered navigation aid for the visually impaired, and updates to the Sonos app that initially frustrated many users, including those relying on accessibility features.
