About this listen
Steven Scott and Shaun Preece tackle the frustrations of installing printers, review the Keychron Q6 Max keyboard, and look ahead to Google’s big Pixel 10 event. Plus, listener emails on shopping accessibility, community inclusion, and Apple News Plus.
Today’s Double Tap dives into the quirks of accessible tech and daily life as blind users. Steven shares his battle with an Epson printer setup and why driver downloads remain a nightmare, while Shaun argues printers should “just work.” The pair continue to explore the Keychron Q6 Max mechanical keyboard, discussing switch types, typing accuracy, and the balance between accessibility and customization.
Listener emails bring fresh perspectives: practical advice on clothes shopping online, inclusion concerns within ACB and NFB, and praise for Apple News Plus. There’s also light-hearted banter on streaming ads, old BlackBerry revivals, and whether Google should recommit to smart speakers at its Made by Google event.
