Talking Watches, eBay Bargains & Steven's Vietnamese Disaster

Today on the show, Steven and Shaun discuss the latest purchase by Steven: a new talking watch that is supposedly smart. However, can some devices be less smart than they give themselves credit for? And, following a post on Mastodon that he noticed, Steven has been shopping on eBay for a Braille display; is it the bargain he hopes for? And there's the good old-fashioned good/bad game with tech as we talk about the good and bad of screenreaders and a rather useful new feature on Mac for people who are partially sighted.
