WearOS4 1st Gen Pixel Watch Update

I'm getting the WearOS 4 update on my 1st gen Pixel Watch LTE. Wanted to
share some tips for anyone else updating this watch who is blind or low
vision. I've been asked to be very patient after the watch restarts.
Don't go messing with the watch for about 30 minutes and let it do its
thing. So once you check for updates and are told to put the watch on
the charger,

go find something else to do for awhile.

Notes Installing ChromeFlex

If you have never heard of ChromeFlex it is a way to turn that older desktop or laptop into a working ChromeBook. This is now easier to do as Google acquired a company who was doing this on their own. This will give a new life to that older desktop or laptop and in a way that is secure & easy to use. Once you have it fully installed, when you power on that desktop or laptop, you will have a fully working Chromebook, & none of this setup stuff to deal with. Recently a new version of ChromeFlex was made available. I tried the version that was released earlier this year, but as that was more of a preview and bugs were not worked out yet, I didn't get very far into installing it. I decided to give it another try with the new version that is supposed to work with a wider variety of hardware. Most people will be using ChromeFlex on older desktops & laptops anyway. Just to check, I ran the install in a test it out mode and it didn&

My Review of Drago Coffee from Fresh Roasted Coffee

As the Drago coffee moved from my tumbler, into my mouth it felt like the coffee was hugging my tongue. Even though the two just met, it was like the coffee was saying, hello old friend, its nice to see you again. It was smooth as it moved across my taste buds, waking them up on a cool fall day. It brought back a memory of having something warm for breakfast then knowing I was ready to go take on the world & wait outside in the cool morning air for my school bus. I made the Organic Drago  coffee with sugar free caramel syrup & unsweetened soy milk. I have other syrup flavors on the way & can't wait to try this coffee with chocolate chip cookie dough syrup or even salted caramel syrup. It gives a relaxing feeling as I await the next sip, happy that my tumbler isn't empty and there is more joy to be found inside. So bring the Organic Drago  coffee into your life and remember that not every dragon is fire breathing and mean, even if their name i

Macro Droid Device Automation Android App

I want to remind everyone of a great Android app that enables you to do all sorts of things. I've been using Macro Droid for several years. I first heard of it on All About Android one evening. I recently had a need for this great app. I was navigating the screen on my Pixel 6 Pro the other day and suddenly I lost speech. Nothing was talking, I as someone who is totally blind, was lost. Thankfully I have my previous phone and used Lookout to read the screen on my 6 Pro. I could read the screen but didn't see any error messages I tried to restart the phone by holding down the volume up key & power, but for some reason, that did nothing. I tried volume down and power, just in case that was the key combination. I was finally able to restart my phone, heard a couple seconds of TalkBack then the phone went silent again. Another check with the old phone showed text on the screen. I thought what could be causing this? Then just like in a cartoon, I g
