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.

My new Accessible Sensor Readout app for Windows @FreakyFwoof You can configure the port it runs on. I just left the default of port 30912.

My new Accessible Sensor Readout app for Windows @FreakyFwoof Still not working, but I see the problem. From the debug log:
2026-05-08 12
​:23:​41 [Debug] Framework Control API probe failed for 127.0.0.1/api/thermal/history: The operation has timed out

But the framework API runs on:
127.0.0.1/api/thermal

So I don't know why it's looking there haha.

My new Accessible Sensor Readout app for Windows @FreakyFwoof I also turned on debug logging and restarted the program. Here's the log: notes.interfree.ca/shares/WtT7pIzDrYYSgUGmItkGKL

My new Accessible Sensor Readout app for Windows @FreakyFwoof No, no luck. I did check that the command line tool is available, and the HTTP API is running on 127.0.0.1 and can see fan temps.

My new Accessible Sensor Readout app for Windows @FreakyFwoof Grabbing now. Gimme a minute; I uninstalled the framework tool because it wasn't accessible, so I've gotta install that first.

My new Accessible Sensor Readout app for Windows @FreakyFwoof It is. There’s just a special command line tool to read sensors and set fan speeds etc. would just have to add support for your program to detect frameworks and use the tool

My new Accessible Sensor Readout app for Windows @FreakyFwoof I am. But I have a framework laptop and it’s drivers are special and only work with there custom tools. At some point I’ll send you a pull request with framework support. Just not had time to dig in.

@nick @amir Uninstall and reinstall the addon and it should fix it. NVDA cached a file it shouldn’t have

@Theriac Hard disagree. The problem with LLMs is that people think they’re a magic “just do it” button. But even reviewing all of the output, I’m able to produce 90 percent more than I could without the LLM. And about 95 percent of what it produces is fully correct. And that’s the problem. The same way pilots fall asleep if the autopilot does 90 percent of the work of flying the airplane, and then aren’t ready to take over in an emergency. If the LLM is 90 percent correct, humans easily get lulled into thinking everything is correct, so don’t catch the critical 10 percent. LLMs are in this awkward stage where they’re accurate enough to make reviewing feel annoying, but not accurate enough to work without review. And that’s right where we humans perform our worst.

The problem with AI is that it makes us too productive. It just generates so much, so quickly, that even if a human reviews it, we're going to miss things. A project at work resulted in generation of code that did exactly what I wanted, as well as generation of documentation. Because the code all functioned perfectly and was correct when I reviewed it, I was tempted to just skim the documentation. Good thing I didn't! It mentioned in multiple places how to send me bug reports over slack, and what slack channel to join for support. I don't have Slack. I don't use Slack. Nobody at my workplace uses Slack. It also invented a support employee who doesn't exist, who offers support for the code in the Slack that doesn't exist.

This is the first bit of AI writting I've ever read that actually made me smile, and didn't clock my AI detectors. "Furthermore, a surprising number of individuals end up in the vacuum because someone else discovered a sudden, overwhelming preference for their absence. Disagreements over cards. Unpaid loans. The void is remarkably accommodating to changes in personnel." Feels like something Mike Resnic or one of the other comedy scifi writers might have written.
