Currently paying for Dropbox, office 365, iCloud, and Google one storage. It feels like too much. I need to consolidate and pair down. Google is the tricky one. Thinking of uninstalling Google Drive from my PC, and then cleaning out storage.

My wife and I are getting serious about finance management. I played with mint back in 2016, and then didn’t touch it for a long time. I looked at it yesterday on my iPhone, and got so discouraged I took it off. Did I jump the gun, or have things really gone downhill there?

If you’re blind or have low vision and use VoiceOver on your Apple devices, you can use it on Apple TV as well. Hold down the Siri button on your Apple TV remote and say, “Turn on VoiceOver.” Learn about the accessibility features on Apple TV: apple.co/3M5cvY1

I am noticing some voiceover weirdness on my iPhone using Twitter today. Not sure if I just need to restart my phone, or if a change has broken Accessibility.

Is there really no way to contact WordPress about an account problem by telephone? That seems crazy but that’s what it looks like to me.

I know that all third-party Twitter clients for mobile devices is being discontinued. What about desktop clients such as TWBlue?

I have played with so many metronome apps on my iPhone that I have honestly lost track of what sort of works and what doesn’t. I am a worship leader who wants to be able to quickly reference tempos on stage during practice. Thoughts from my blind friends? What do you use.

I knew that third-party apps were being discontinued from Twitter, so I am surprised at how disappointed I am to have to remove Twitterrific and spring from my phone. Very unfortunate.

When I call a number to talk to someone and am offered the opportunity to have them, call me back, I am never able to press one to confirm that it is me. The one thing I did not try, was to turn voiceover on and off on my phone. Has anyone else found a workaround for this?

I am unable to get TWBlue to load. I can't run it as administrator, anything. I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times. What files or folders should I remove in order to start fresh? Not abandoning Tweesecake, just wanting to play with the other again. Running Windows 1

I think I will be switching to the Freestyle Libre 2 sensor. A review I read mentioned problems using turn-by-turn navigation when the app is in use. Has anyone experienced this?
