@blindbargains How about audiocapture? https://github.com/masonasons/AudioCapture and, though still in beta, NVDARC? https://testflight.apple.com/join/edg8YSeU not to mention NVDA Remote Companion https://github.com/gozaltech/NVDARemoteCompanion which is moving along quite nicely.

Loving the trend of all of these new free lightweight apps, both human and AI coded. Just in the past few months:
* New lightweight Mastodon/BlueSky client
* New Github viewer
* New ebook reader
* New RSS reader
* a web-based typing tutor
* And many more I'm missing. What other cool apps do we need to shoutout?

Episode 145: tethering is still annoying, passkeys are better but not perfect, and Family Link makes setting up kids’ accounts a whole thing. We also talk teaching tech, listener feedback, and share a few CES highlights that stood out.

Meta’s smart glasses can now filter human voice in chaotic spaces

The new Conversation focus feature on Meta smart glasses amplifies voices you're facing and filters environmental noise. You can activate it with a voice command, but it works best within 1.8 meters.

Happy Holidays!

I’ll be out of the office until Jan 5th, 2026. Well, technically I work from home. So, I guess that sort of means I’m near the office. And the room where my office happens to be also is where my freezer resides. And that is where the peppermint ice cream lives. Tell you what, if you write me an email that needs a response, I’ll reply at an upcoming random moment when I desire festive ice cream. Otherwise, barring any non-related ice cream emergencies, I’ll correspond in 2026.

Seriously, I will be checking in from time to time during the holiday season. However, my replies may be delayed.

Happy New Year!
