The gang is back in their socially distanced podcast bunkers
of choice for an all new hard hitting That Real Blind Tech Show. We
start off with a story for our an early early nomination for
the Darwin Awards, careful all it takes is 18 steps in your health
app. Then it is on to talk of the Super Bowl, but not the game, the
streaker. If you have not heard the radio call, you will not want
to miss it, and not to worry we have it for you! We then move on to
the hottest thing on the planet right now, Clubhouse. At least one
of us has given their info to Clubhouse and the Chinese government.
Is this a big concern? Just an FYI, since we recorded this it looks
like Clubhouse has been banned in China, and Brian has also joined
the Clubhouse! We left it in so you could enjoy the
conversation. Then what would a podcast in 2021 be without a
conversation about Covid? Can an Apple Watch really detect Covid a
week earlier then tests? Widgets, are they really useful? Has your
iPhone been vibrating out of control near your HomePod Mini? Have
you noticed most of your Google apps have not been updated on iOS
in quite awhile? We have. We then discuss the only thing hotter
then Clubhouse, AR/VR glasses which are rumored to be coming some
time in the future from Apple. Is it about time for Apple to
implement an accessibility rating scale for all apps in the App
Store? Then a discussion about blind apartment and house hunting.
Next it’s a review of our experiences with the Aftershokz
OpenComm’s as two out of three of us are now rocking them. And
finally it is more of What’s Pissing Off Brian and Watcha
Streaming, Watcha Reading.
