Re: logging into UPS my choice

Troy:
This is the link they gave me when I got the email from them after signing up for UPS my choice. This is the link that allows me to change my profile. You should have gotten an email like the one I got after signing up with info about the UPS my choice program. That is all I have.

It's my choice I'm trying to log into, and if this is the right place neither my user name or e-mail address plus my password is letting me in.

The Hadley Institute for the Blind has all accessible courses for learning languages and just about anything you want to learn. They are a correspondent institute. They are college accredited. People can also get their GED there. You can call student services. The number is escaping me at the moment. I have to look it up in my directory. You can also take their courses online. I take them through the mail. You are allowed to keep your braille and usb study materials. Hope that this helps.

Siri will not tell you the inside temperature. For outside, she will probably access the weather reporting station closest to your zip code.

Re: putting my Logitech K380 bluetooth keyboardin pairing mode

Hi Troy,
The On / Off switch is on the left side edge
towards the back of the keyboard. Push this switch away from you to turn
the keyboard on.
Now go to the bluetooth settings on your device
and locate / select the Logitech Bluetooth Multi-Device Keyboard K380 when it
appears in the list of available Bluetooth devices.
Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the pairing. Upon pairing, the status LED on the keyboard stops blinking and remains steady for 10 seconds, if you have enough vision to see this. After you get the phone paired to the 1st device,
the next time you turn the keyboard on press the, F1 key, to pair to the 1st
device. If you pair a 2nd device press the, F2 key, & for the 3rd
device press the, F3 key. Here's an example; The 1st device I paired
to the K380 was my iPhone and the 2nd device I paired was my wife's iPhone, so
if I want to use the K380 with my iPhone, I turn on the keyboard and press the,
F1 key, if I want to use the keyboard with my wife's iPhone I press the, F2 key,
after turning on the keyboard. I've never used the keyboard with more than
1 device at a time, so I'm not 100% sure how to switch between multiple
devices.
Take care. Mike. Sennt from my iBarstool.

That is the way the one is from Blind Mice, refrigerator temperature, oven, all that stuff - even outside. I haven't tried to see if Siri will tell me inside temperature.

Re: Talking Indoor Thermometer
Leedy Diane Bomar
Doesn't your apartment landlord have a responsibility to either provide, or allow you to install an accessible thermostat? I would suggest talking with apartment management, not asking, but telling, and/or calling your local utility company, to see if they will install one for you. It is in everone's best interest for you to have a thermostat that you can control.
However, even with a talking thermostat, a talking multifunction thermometer is very useful. Diane Bomar On Jan 8, 2020, at 08:43, Steve Matzura <number6@...> wrote:

Re: Talking Indoor Thermometer

If you want an even cheaper alternative, you can find dozens of merchants on EBay that sell talking projection clocks/thermometers for under $10. I have one that I purchased from EBay for about $8. It is cube shaped and announces the time and temperature at the touch of a button and runs on three AAA batteries.

Re: Talking Indoor Thermometer
James Bentley
Hello Merv,
Future Aids/The Braille Super Store has a $20, talking cube clock. It is heavy duty with a loud female voice that doesn’t sound like a stupid robot from the sixties.
It announces time, indoor temperature and humidity.
It also has a 90 minute timer that goes to one hour in ten minute increments. The last increment adds 30 minutes to go up to 90 minutes.
It runs on 4 triple A batteries not included.
Mine came free matter for the blind in about one week with no shipping charge.
I bought 3 of these around 6 years ago. They all work fine. One was dropped on a hard tile floor and still works.
I know that you may just want a stand alone talking indoor thermometer but, Here is a linkjust in case you want to take a look
http://www.braillebookstore.com/All--Purpose-Talking-Clock.1
You can order on line or give them a call at: 1-800-987-1231
Cheers,
James B,
