completely blind computer geek, lover of science fiction and fantasy (especially LitRPG). I work in accessibility, but my opinions are my own, not that of my employer. Fandoms: Harry Potter, Discworld, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Buffy, Dead Like Me, Glee, and I'll read fanfic of pretty much anything that crosses over with one of those.

I think I feel the same way about laptops that sighted people who drive must feel about giant off-road capable SUVs. At any time, they could drive through the wilderness! Not that they ever will. Similarly, at any time, I could compile giant rust applications on this laptop! Or run important mathematical calculations! But I never will. And the same way it's impossible to park an SUV, the Framework 16 laptop is impossible to actually, you know, use on your lap. If I could see and drive, would I have some kind of Chevy Tahoe that can tow fifty tons and takes up two zipcodes just to drive me to work? Now I feel sad.
I can't wait for how excited everyone's going to get when NVDA 2025.1 breaks eloquence and a bunch of other third party TTS addons by retiring WinMM and making Wasapi the only output method. There's going to be a lot of gnashing of teeth. The fix for threshhold is a one-line change, but I have no idea about ibmtts.
