  Sony’s New Access Controller Reveals a Big Problem in Adaptive Gaming
  
  from Geoffrey Bunting
  
  Sony’s new Access controller is a welcome addition to accessible hardware solutions. But its high price tag is a reminder of the cost that gamers bear simply for being disabled.

  from Julia Glassman
  
  In episode 5, Loki's time slipping returns—and as someone who's lived with chronic pain for 20 years, I found his reaction deeply relatable.

  from Dan Seifert
  
  I’ve been critical of Apple’s new base-model 14-inch MacBook Pro, which comes with just 8GB of RAM for a starting price of $1,599. Despite Apple Silicon’s excellent performance and the fact that Apple’s unified memory is faster than traditional RAM, working memory is still working memory and more is better, especially if you use a lot of apps or browser tabs. Jason Koebler at 404 Media agrees and points out that relying on swap, which shifts data to the SSD when RAM is full, also shortens the life span of your computer, making it an environmental issue on top of a bad user experience. We should expect more from our expensive laptops.

  As many of you will know from personal experience, there is a longstanding issue with VoiceOver on Mac where Safari will frequently become unresponsive with VoiceOver repeatedly announcing the message “Safari not responding.” When this issue occurs, the user's Mac may become unusable for up to several minutes at a time. Sometimes it can be resolved by switching away from Safari. Sometimes restarting VoiceOver can resolve the issue.
