Musician, accessibility enthusiast, love technology, love reading and I'm in my final year of studying a Juris Doctor.
Excellent news for Mac users! OSARA is now signed and notarized. Installing/updating should be much easier.
This is all thanks to a Herculean amount of research and effort undertaken by Marc Mulcahey, with Jamie getting the final pieces of the puzzle worked into our continuous integration. I'll grab like 1% of the credit for gee-ing smarter people along whenever Apple left them feeling confused/annoyed.

Enjoy!
Please boost if you know Mac users who need this.

I am now the proud owner of a pair of Oakley Meta HSTN glasses. Unfortunately, they don't show up in my version of the Meta AI app. The phone sees them in Bluetooth, but not in the app. I've updated the app, I've restarted the phone, it's very strange. Short of waiting, I'm not sure what I can try. I could try android, but I don't really want to use them with my android phone.
