My new toy, AKA Braille Emotion, has been received, unboxed, and is set up. I already know I’m going to love it! I can read on my display again without having to deal with ghost dots. I was always reminded of Letter Man from the Electric Company when I dealt with those. It’s amazing how much one dot can change a word in Braille. But no more having to deal with that. Also, there’s more functionality in this display, which I plan to explore to the fullest. But I couldn’t stay up late to play with it, as there are things that need to get done tomorrow so I’ve got to get my sleep. #BlindTech #A11Y

The UK’s nukes are still running on Windows 95 and floppy disks. Not a joke. In 2025, one of the most powerful nations on Earth is still relying on tech most people tossed decades ago.
It’s a wild reminder of how deeply outdated some critical systems really are—and why that should worry everyone.
