You might recall last month that I posted about my 3D-printed spectacles.

Enough people asked me for the files and for details on how to order lenses and mount them into the frames that I figured I'd release everything with instructions - and also redesign the hinges a bit so the temples fold more compact, something I meant to do for some time.

Ben Heck makes a lot of things. One thing he's been making for years, is special ordered one-handed gaming controllers. Here he is making one for the Switch.

If you love modding and electronics, I recommend his channel and live streams in general.

It's like a dental retainer with a touchpad to control devices with your tongue.

Their pitch expressly claims the device isn't AT... But it is to help more people access the outdoors, which I think counts to an extent.

I am working on a project that archives 80s and 90s tech documentaries and TV segments. The goal is to archive them to multiple platforms, to attempt to better ensure they don't become lost media.

Many of these videos don't have their original closed-captioning retained, so the only option is the generated subtitles.

I want my archives to be as accessible as possible. So my question is, are the YT auto-generated subtitles useful for those with limited hearing? Or maybe the question is, are they better than nothing?
