Episode 158 - 2024 ACB and NFB Recap and Resolution Discussion

It's an all new That Real Blind Tech Show. Brian, David, and Jeanine get together to recap the ACB and NFB Conferences.

 

We started recording minutes after reports started that Trump had been shot, and not knowing if it was fake news, we had to go with the information we had at the time of recording. Which leads us in to some of the news that came out about Aira during the conferences. 

 

We then start off discussing the report that Air BnB fails to protect its guests against spying cameras. Which then leads us to discussing if we ever get freaked out that someone is filming us.

 

Just in time for Prime Day, Amazon's A.I. Shopping Assistant is rolling out to everyone in the U.S.

 

We then dive in to Conference season as David explains to us what happens all day at the NFB Conference. David then fills us in about the exhibit hall at the conference. David then fills us in how the resolution voting process works. We then discuss the nightlife at the conference. We then discuss the Saturday night screening of the blind sitcom Don't Look Now which screened at the Regal Cinema in Orlando. According to a recent survey more authentic disability is wanted in film and T.V.

 

We then move to discuss some of the latest Aira announcements and some of the fake news that was spreading around at the conferences.

 

Jeanine then fills us in on her experiences at the ACB Conference in Jacksonville. Jeanine tells us about her experience demoing the Guidance Mobility device. Jeanine then tells us about the other items she got to check out at the conference.

 

After reviewing our conference experiences we decided to go ahead and recap this year's NFB Resolutions. So sit back and get ready for some insanity. You can read all of the resolutions here.

 

And we actually remember to read a couple of the emails and it's more of Watcha Streaming, Watcha Reading.
