Sorry, but the new detailed response mode for the #MetaRayBan glasses seems like more of a step back than an improvement. Its descriptions seem less hierarchically structured and more inclined to just list random items (or delusions).

Rather than more verbose responses to single questions, it seems like it would be much more helpful for #blind folks to have an ability to ask follow up questions to expand on the basic facts first given.

Hi everyone! How’s your day going?

I’m really excited—my new iPhone 16 Pro Max is arriving tomorrow! 🎉📱

I got a refund from my university’s financial aid office, probably because I had to drop a course due to being sick. After talking it over with my mom, we agreed I needed something positive to look forward to after everything I’ve been through lately.

I’m still recovering from a severe reaction to a medication I was prescribed, and my rheumatoid arthritis has me mostly bedridden. My current phone, an iPhone 13 Mini, is showing its age and not running well. I’ve been using a Pixel 9 Pro through the Google Accessibility Trusted Testers program, but I’ve always preferred iPhones—so I used part of the refund to order a new one from Apple today. It’s scheduled to arrive tomorrow, and I can’t wait!

We’re also planning to launch a GoFundMe soon to help me upgrade my Braille display. The one I have is a few years old, and my dream device is the Handy Tech Activator. My mom really wants to help me get it, and I’m so grateful.

Tonight, I’m planning to reset my old Apple Watch to give to my mom. It’s not working well for me anymore—especially with the pain in my wrists and hands—and it’s too focused on fitness. I tried using it for health tracking, but it wasn’t a good fit for how I manage things now.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you’re all doing okay. 💜

So, the experiment didn't last a week. It seems that no device is better than the other, its personal preference. @LeonianUniverse likes the Orbit writer and I like the Hable. What I'd say is give both devices a fair chance and if you like one more than the other, use whichever one you want. #Blind
