Losing focus in terminal all the time
by Andrew Hodgson 21 Dec '23

Hi. Latest JFW and Windows 11 builds on multiple machines, I lose speech output in the terminal or command prompt when navigating to and from the window. What I mean by this is I am not hearing the output of commands or what I am typing into the window. This is really starting to stress me out now and I can't believe I am the only person experiencing it. Its been happening since the beginning of the year since a Windows update I think. Any suggestions? Thanks. Andrew.

Heads up: Problems with Pearson Vue exams and Jaws
by Andrew Hodgson 15 Sep '23

Hi. Tried to take a Microsoft exam today but for some reason none of the content of the test was speaking even though the check-in process worked. I last got through some tests in January, so either a Jaws or Pearson test update has broken things. When the test launched all I could hear was Chromium Window. I have a contact in the accommodations team so will try and push to get this sorted and will let you guys know here any updates. Thanks. Andrew.

Raspberry Pi 4, Kali Linux headless install/configuration
by David Mehler 17 Aug '23

Hello, Does anyone have a headless install of Kali Linux going? I was doubting my hardware then I put a Debian distro on this new sdxc card via Raspberry Pi Imager, added in an empty "ssh" file and a WiFi wpa_supplicant.conf configuration file, and it popped right up. Further googling shows that in the Kali image after I think they said 2022 this system did not work anymore or had been disabled, but I've not been able to find out the new method. Any help appreciated. Thanks. Dave.
