Speaking of generated AI content, did you see that Toys ‘R’ Us posted a commercial that was created using AI? 😬

Wow. So they may not grant all requests. At this point, Meta needs to be given the AT&T treatment.

Anyone ever notice how lax they are becoming with captions/subtitles on home video releases? Especially ever since the studios started pooling their home video resources together.

It’s weird how people take Star Wars so seriously. I still remember the backlash the prequels received. On the forums, people were absolutely losing their minds over Jar Jar Binks. This was pre-social media.

I had a 27" JVC TV... one thing I was grateful for was that it came with handles at the back. That thing was HEAVY.

I watched that movie months ago. Rose really wanted to know if Ross and Rachel ends up together. I guess she'll get to find out now that she found the final season on DVD in that bunker she discovered. 😂

Behind closed doors, people may not openly share their personal lives, so reaching out personally can make a significant difference.

You never truly understand someone's life until you engage in conversation with them. Therefore, if you value your family and friends, please make an effort to stay connected with them.

At first, social media appeared to have been developed to maintain connections among families and friends. However, over the years, it seems to have had the opposite effect, discouraging communication and check-ins.

To make matters worse, the theater executives I've spoken to are completely out of touch with how accessibility standards should be. Despite inviting them to discuss improvements in theater accessibility, it seems our efforts have fallen on... err... well... you know. 😂

Yes, that's the thing about abled people. They perceive their so-called solutions to be the best thing since sliced bread, failing to consider the impact on deaf and disabled consumers.

Basically, it's still CaptiView but they swapped the display with an Android-type mobile device.

Watch out for their latest gadget, the DAS (Dolby Accessibility Solution). They've been replacing the CaptiView systems with these. 🙄

It seems like a lot of live broadcasts are using AI-generated captions. Some of them aren’t making any sense.

You could opt for Koodoo’s $10/month promo for the Netflix/Prime/Disney+ and Telus Films and Series bundle. They come with ads though.

We attended the appeal hearing. The dog owner made some incredible ableist remarks towards my disability (being deaf) by implying that I'm not intelligent. Thankfully, the committee ruled in our favour by keeping the order (to muzzle) in place. Boy, was the dog owner M-A-D!

"The posters were taken down two weeks later after a resident contacted the city about potential errors in the signs." That resident was me. Also, the errors were not 'potential'; they were straight-up mistakes, contrary to what the article noted. Glad they made the changes.

As much as I love the Legend of Zelda games, $390 is way too much for a set that contains 2,500 pieces. LEGO sets are already expensive to start with, this takes it to a whole another level.
