  I took that old vbns-ao2 thing that was an update of the original virtual Braille 'n Speak project made by @tspivey@dragonscave.space, fixed errors, squashed bugs, and updated it to run on modern Python 3. No more of that I329 shit with Window-Eyes either. https://github.com/seedy60/BSpeak95

All I could do was sit and watch as the screen reader choked, spluttered and stuttered for a few minutes. Eventually I had to put the poor thing out of its misery. Honestly, the fact that I was...

  You join me on the other side of a successful Windows 11 23H2 reinstall. Yeah, I know, 23H2 is 3 years old bla bla bla. But at least it boots properly, doesn't disable access to your C drive, etc. Bluetooth doesn't natively work properly on this version of Win11 for some reason, so before the reinstall, I used a program called Driver Store Explorer to find and extract the bluetooth chip's driver files. After the reinstall, I simply located the backed-up driver files, righ...

  Loving this rclone/WinFSP thing I have going on that means my OneDrive is mounted as a Q: drive. Not a conventional way of using OneDrive, but hey, it works and means I don't have to put my system within a thousand feet of a Microsoft account.
