Digital Ocean control panel issue?
by Chris Turner 03 Oct '17

03 Oct '17

Hi list. Anyone else had trouble with the DO panel, using JFW? Specifically, Using JFW16 and IE 11. I'm trying to create a monitoring policy. I've filled out all the form fields but the create button at the bottom is still grey'd out. I then tried the same thing in Google Chrome but Chrome doesn't seem to present the whole webpage to JAWS> All I get is a button to view a tutorial on one of Digital Ocean's other other features. Nothing appears in JFW's link list. Wonder what's going on. Thanks. Chris Turner --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Migrate from Office365 to Outlook.com
by Andrew Hodgson 03 Oct '17

03 Oct '17

Hi, For those of us who use Office365 as Exchange accounts for personal use, you may like to know that outlook.com is now powered by Exchange Online and has the same features as Office365. You need to subscribe to Outlook Premium and pay a domain adding fee yearly to get this, but that gives you 5 email addresses. For those of us with 5 Office365 subscriptions that is quite a saving. I haven't done the migration as I pay annually for my subscription, and still may continue with it at the moment. From what I have read there is downtime as you need to delete your domain from the Office365 control panel and then add it into Outlook to make sure everything migrates across, there is apparently a nasty situation if you cancel the account without doing this where your domain is in limbo for 90 days in the database. That gives you an outlook.com and a domain email, you can then invite 4 more outlook.com members to sign up for your domain, giving you 5 addresses in total. If I don't do anything else I will be migrating to the Office365 personal next year instead of paying for the Office software as part of the subscription as it works out cheaper and gives you 1GB of OneDrive space per account which is actually quite useful as other apps use OneDrive personal and can't access OneDrive Business. Just thought it would be interesting for people. Let me know if you do it, Andrew.

portable power
by David Mehler 30 Sep '17

30 Sep '17

Hello, I'm in the market for portable power. I am looking for recommendations for products that people have bought, used, and liked, and why you like them. The first is a portable power bank. My goal is portability, but the biggest battery I can find. I've read about several, I don't mind if it looks like a brick, if it can go in a laptop bag it can go with me, but it's got to have a big battery, be able to handle multiple devices if needed, and would be nice if it would support quick charge/fast charge. The second item I'm looking for is a wireless fast charging pad. I've seen a few of them, ones by Choetech but they don't have the charger with them and some of them are not even fast charging, they're just wireless. Any recommendations appreciated. Thanks. Dave.

Hi Dave, super+alt+s is the gnome shortcut. Unity uses ctrl+s as far as i know.

I'm trying to get Ubuntu 17.04 64 bit going in a virtual machine workstation11 vm on my windows 10 host. Prior to this with 14.04 and 16.04 I waited until the drum prompt then did alt+super+s which got me speech. In 17.04 I do hear the drum prompt which I love by the way, and I do the alt+super+s and nothing no speech. Any ideas? Thanks.

Automatically installing and accessing Windows Server 2016 in a non-domain environment?
by Jared Stofflett 20 Sep '17

20 Sep '17

Does anyone have examples of automatically installing Windows Server 2016 in such a way that it is possible to use the server with screen reading software after the install is complete? At the least after the install is complete I'd like to be able to get a remote powershell session in that I could then hopefully use to install screen reading software. Unfortunately my personal machine is in a domain, but the VM I would use to install Windows Server would not be joined to a domain. My understanding is this makes getting remote access much more complicated since you can't just enter a password to get a remote powershell session like you can with SSH. Any advice on this would be appreciated. Note I'm using Hyperv as the hypervisor, and don't care what screen reader I can use to access the server.

JFW reading terminals
by Kieran Little 20 Sep '17

20 Sep '17

Hi, Not sure if this is the best place to ask this but it's the only list I'm subscribed to. I'm supposed to be working with a lot of cisco equipment at the minute, through SSH and terminal sessions. I'm using JFW since it was bought for me, all of our cisco equipment requires you to be on a remote server to configgure it and I can't use NVDA remote anyway because of firewalls, ETC. I've got JFW working fine remotely, but either on the local JAWS or remote JAWS I can't get it to read terminals. I'm using both PUTTY and tera term. It reads CMD fine just not terminals. Are there any special settings ETC I need to change? Cheers for any help.
