Hello All, Does anyone have a sure way of removing packages from Synology DSM 7.x? There are buttons that are unlabeled and also disabled in the Package Manager; and I also cannot find a menu to uninstall and existing package. When I select a package, it just seems to open it. Regards, Tim

Completed online Microsoft exam with screen reader
by Andrew Hodgson 29 Oct '22

29 Oct '22

Hi. Just managed to pass the AZ104 exam with a screen reader. It took a bit of getting right but the exam worked in the end. There was an outstanding issue with the chat window as the proctor was trying to contact me as I was leaning outside the webcam view area and I didn't realise it so they had to interrupt the exam but we got it sorted. I will probably right up the process more later on and try and take another test to see if the process is any easier but its possible to do at least some of these exams online now. Thanks. Andrew.

Microsoft exams with screen reader - actually scheduling the test
by Andrew Hodgson 17 Oct '22

17 Oct '22

Hi. I have now finally got permissions from Pearson Vue to take Microsoft exams with a screen reader. Has anyone else got this before and managed to successfully schedule a test? I tried to do this but when I tried to take the test the invigilator didn't have anything about me using a screen reader even though the accommodation was on my account. He believed I may need to go through a separate schedule process. I asked the guys last week about this but haven't heard anything back and need to take some exams to get myself on a client project. Thanks. Andrew.

win10 upgrade broke wsl2 Ubuntu terminal cut paste
by David Mehler 16 Oct '22

16 Oct '22

Hello, I'm running the latest win10 upgrade. As of yesterday i.e. before I crashed for the night, I had wsl2 running with a Ubuntu setup that when I selected something in windows and did a control+c then a control+v in terminal the item would be pasted, for example a url passed to wget. I believe that the key also brought up a menu but am not 100% sure as I used it so rarely, point is it was working. Got moving today and saw that this machine had rebooted since it had to install an update, now the copy paste in Ubuntu terminal is no longer working and I'm not seeing how to get it back. Help welcome. Thanks. Dave.

Remote Incident Manager
by German A Fermin 19 Jul '22

19 Jul '22

Hell all, Just in case you all didn't know, a new Remote Incident Manager is in currently in public beta right now and they are looking for feedback. Having used the first RIM iteration as well as tandem and NVD remote, this so far is awesome. Latency is great, could use Jaws/NVDA and it doesn't matter what is on the other end. Although NVDA is the only one thus far where you can remote control a machine for a sighted user that does not have any screen readers installed. Obviously Narrator but then the target computer would hear that. With NVDA, they would not. They also just introduced unattended sessions. Thought this group would be interested. https://getrim.app/ Herman
