Nope no GA, not enough activity/hype
Sheesh, yea I can see that causing you to need some catch up sleep
I pulled an all nighter and went on a trip. That was nuts
Oh yeah, It was pretty slow last time I checked
where did you take a trip to?
To Algiers the capital, I went by taxi, so I had to wake up early and couldn't sleep, so I figured I'd have to stay up until then
No problem. I'm always happy to answer when someone interested in learn more about screen reading software. Some people when I told them I'm blind, they're actually not believe it. Which make sense after all, because we're just a stranger on the Internet. But on the other hand, no one would lie about something like that. Unless people who are mentally ill or wants attentions would do that.
Welcome back.
Happened with me as well. My record was 200% of the product's offer price as customs duties alone.
Have a friend in the US. Will have to convince him.
So true. But, I see their side as well. There are perfectly healthy people both in real life and on the internet trying to feign and take advantage. But, I have no reason to doubt you. While it saddens me and even though, I don't know you personally, it's actually delighting to meet someone like you actually on this forum. Most people in your situation would have chosen a different field (I am assuming you are working/aspiring to work in the IT field). Thank you for inspiring us lazy people. Keep rocking!! Let us know if we can help in any way.
The chicken and the egg...
Hello, I would like to double the bandwidth, thank you.

Thank you for your encouragement and support, it really means a lot to me.
Yes. I do volunteer work as a computer instructor for people with special needs in a special school for the blind.
Oh. That's actually inspiring as well. I am just picking your brain, but, please feel free to not answer. We have come a long way from computers being accessible only to a certain section of people. Screen readers and such do make it accessible to a wider population. But, still, what are some challenges you face while using/teaching physically challenged people computers that you hope there was a fix for, something to make it an easier task?
UPDATE ON RACKNERD DECEMBER GIVEAWAY
New secret code for the giveaway - https://lowendbox.com/blog/lets-celebrate-the-winter-solstice-with-awesome-deals-and-a-free-bonus-code-for-racknerds-giveaway/
Thanks! I would have eventualy found it (probably tomorrow if I remember to do the daily) but also nice when it's pointed out
I win nothing 😭
Welcome back maybe you were the secret sauce that was missing
There is no way to bring a pc in a plane also
you might just have to take the credits
I'll try to answer it to the best of my abilities. But, please excuse my English since it is not my first language. So apologies if I express it in a wrong way.
The challenge that I often faced while teaching or / explaining computer to people with physically challenged is icons and layouts of any apps, the start menu, or the desktop in general. Let's say I teach my students about the layout of the desktop and taskbar. This hard part because explain to them, you have to know where the desktop is positioned at, and where the taskbar is located on the computer's screen when you turn on the computer. Especially young kids they're always curious.
And another thing, when teaching office applications to young adults, the part that I am struggle the most is clipart. Inserting the pictures into a PowerPoint documents is not something that blind people with screen reading software could do, because the screen reader cannot detects where the picture is located in the document, and editing the document would result in the character is overlapping with the picture inserted.
This is the situation that nobody could fix at the moment, but maybe in the future.
For icons of applications, some people has wrote various add-ons to get image descriptions with AI services, but it's still limited.
For other general tasks, like programming or sysadmin, blind people are able to work with those just fine. All the command line outputs are read by the screen readers. I know this, because I learn a little bit of programming and basic sysadmin task just to host and play around with WordPress.
Good morning gang
Hey.. welcome back bro..
Our customs suck..
Great.. enjoy your PC then. Wanna ship your old pc to me.. like Frobsy and DaDevs deal..
How about leaving the cabinet, and remove all components like GPU and get them?

Does used components needs explanation too? Don't know. Just throwing ideas to bring noobs PC to his home.
Anytime. You posted about this GA on the thread when it was first posted. So, delayed appreciation for that as well.
Nah. That was my very first PC. Holds a lot of memories (not talking about the storage drives
).
