Episode 204 - #GAAD, Google IO, and Walrus Penis Bone

It's an all new That Real Blind Tech Show and since we have a new intro for our show we got the entire gang here of Allison, Brian, David, Ed, and Jeanine.       We kick the show off discussing a Little Rock and roll and Billy Idol of all things. Which then leads to our first That Real Blind Tech show firing in quite awhile.   Brian discusses seeing Bruce Springsteen at Madison Square Garden. And the talk of the Boss then leads to us discussing our new theme song.   Eventually we get in to the news with a story for the ages as a beloved Walrus Penis Bone has gone missing from a bar in South Jersey. And we finally have an answer to the age old question, is it safe to use a laptop on your lap?        Will Privacy workers ruin Smart Glasses for people with disabilities?   Boston Logan Airport is launching a pilot  program of people getting to the airport 25 miles away and going through TSA there, what could go wrong with this?   We then discuss #GAAD and what has it accomplished over the past 15 years. Ed discusses the #GAAD event he participated in with Meta Labs.   In recognition of #GAAD Apple unveiled the new accessibility features coming in the next operating system.   We then touch on all the sink holes popping up in New York City.   We then dive in to Google Io, and start out discussing Vibe Coding apps and will this lead to further inaccessibility.   Google has multiple pairs of Glasses coming later this year, the first pair we discuss is the Project Aura Glasses which are more VR glasses.   Google will also be releasing an Audio only Gemini Glasses, but do not call them Glasses, they are Intelligent Eyewear.   Get ready to do everything in Google in the search box.   Google Gemini Agents will become more personalized.   At the end of the day all of these A.I. features and the usability of it all will come down to two things, the accessibility of it all, and more importantly, will you actually trust using it.   We then dive in to some new products we have gotten recently. Brian kicks it off discussing the DOT digital Business Card which you can buy on amazon. Brian then mentions he bought the Anker Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro Buds that just were released on May 21st, however, as they did not arrive until after we recorded, and the app and touch screen have several accessibility issues. The app and touch screen are pretty much unusable by someone who is blind. We will discuss this further on our next show. David then discusses the Pocket A.I. Recorder he just ordered. And while it is not a typical Allison return, she is gifting her current Mac Book Air and replacing it with the latest Mac Book Pro. Jeanine then discusses the Hapware Band she has ordered, so expect a lot of product discussions on the next few shows as we receive these products.   And it's more of What's Pissing Off Brian Now and Watcha Streaming, Watcha Reading.   To contact That Real Blind Tech Show, you can email us at [email protected], join our Facebook Group That Real Blind Tech Show, join us on the Twitter @BlindTechShow
