Re: gmail on the web
Gene
I’m not sure what you are asking. I can’t test this setting because
there is some sort of technical problem with my GMail service. It works
properly with an e-mail program but not online. If you change to not using
conversation, every message will be shown individually as they are in whatever
e-mail program you are using. You would follow a link to whatever message
you want to open. Nothing will open by itself, just by you moving to a
message.

Re: USB Type C Port Help Please
Mike B. <mb69mach1@...>
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Hi All,
I would like to thank all of you for your
input. I spoke to Lenovo tech support to get their opinion and the final
result is the USB type C port on this particular laptop will only charge another
device and not transfer data unless the correct USB Hub was purchased.
Also the USB type C port can be turned on / off through the Lenovo Vantage app
and right now I do have the charging feature turned off.
Anyways, it's nice to finally know this ports
capabilities and limitations. Again, thank you all for
everything.
Stay safe & take care. Mike. Just once, I want a username and password prompt to say: "Close Enough!"

Reading Daisy files on the Brailliant.
Hi all,
I've recently noticed that the BRF format on Bookshare can occasionally have issues in downloading properly, so I decided to switch to the Daisy text only option. Having done that, I'm not sure how the Brailliant handles folders, or which file to choose out of the resulting list of files once a folder is unzipped. You can load the BRF files as zip files, and they read fine without unzipping them first, but does anyone know how the Daisy files work? I'm assuming the .xml extension will work, because I know it does on the computer, simply acting like a Web page, with each chapter as its own heading for easy navigation. If anyone else has any better ideas, please do pass them along. thanks.

Re: how do you play audible books on my VRS second generation?
Marie Nelson <scribbles.mn@...>
I would suggest you download and install the Audible Synch software or the Audible app from Windows. I have not personally used it but there should be a way to activate your VS to read Audible books. If not, there is an old software from Audible called Audible Manager and it is very easy to activate your device on that.

There is a setting in GMail, you must be in the standard view, not in basic HTML, to get to it, for not reading messages by conversation.
Activate the settings button and find the check box that says conversation view. Uncheck it.
Then find the save the settings button and activate it.

Facebook Messenger Desktop App
Samuel Wilkins
Hello all, I’ve noticed in the past few days that the Facebook Messenger app on the windows desktop has changed. It is now no longer a web interface, and I can no longer read messages or work out who I’m typing to. I’m using windows 10 with NVDA. Has anyone else noticed this, or could I have pressed something by mistake? Thank you.

Re: USB Type C Port Help Please

Perhaps someone else knows. If you should hear a connection sound
regardless of the configuration of the drive, that might answer the question of
whether the cable or the USB port is faulty, though not which one is.

Please Hi Pablo,
I don't have any other USB type C devices to
connect, but I believe you hit on the problem. I think the external SSD
drive may not be configured to connect directly via a USB type C cable.
The drive came with a, USB type A male to USB type C male short little cable
that's a piece of crap. The connectivity sucked, so I bought the
type C to type C male cables as a work around, but I also bought some USB type A
male to USB type C female adaptors that work really well for connecting the SSD
drive to either of my wife's laptops.
These cables are highly rated and neither of
them work on either of her laptops when using the cables by themselves, but when
using the type C cables with the adaptors they work really well. So, your
thought of the problem being a SSD configuration setting is a good idea.
I'll contact the person I bought the drives from and talk to him about it and
see what his thoughts are. Thank you very much for your
input.
Stay safe & take care. Mike.

I'm using a type C cable that supports both charging and data transfer, but nothing happens. Below is what I've found that these USB type C ports are supposed to do.

Has anyone ran into an issue like this and have a fix for the no connectivity, or am I totally misunderstanding the way this USB type C port is supposed to work? All help and input is greatly appreciated. Thanks much.
