Last week, a huge project I've been working on for over 3 years rolled out almost flawlessly! To treat myself, I went out and bought myself a MacBook Neo. I'm still figuring out how to navigate around with VoiceOver, for example, I haven't been able to download anything from the App Store yet, but I'm optimistic it's going to be a useful tool. I'm not sure when, if ever, it'll replace my Windows laptop though.

Good news for blind and low vision users. The latest Facebook update appears to have fixed the back button issue. Navigation is feeling much smoother and more reliable again with VoiceOver.
Really glad to see this improvement. Accessibility fixes like this make a big difference in everyday use.
If you were struggling with the back button before, it might be worth updating and trying again.

Many accessibility adaptations have already become mainstream, such as automatic doors. These help a wide variety of people who aren't considered disabled but who have access needs, such as people with prams or trolleys.
That tends to cement their usefulness for stores, as they get more footfall and more customers mean more income. It's a win-win.
