So that was it, no more TW Blue. You can't even re-authorize your sessions, just wow.

“CSS-only Widgets Are Inaccessible”
https://t.co/i9EyZByDZr

Loosely, those CSS-only controls (such as a hamburger trigger that uses the checkbox hack) you see (from every Dribble build or Codepen contest) are generally a problem for many (1/2)

[Tamás G (mindly.social/@Tamasg) @tamaccess]

@twynn92 @BlindHerald Would be curious as well, I also know a lot of folks who run a business or just do consulting privately / as non-W2, and for those situations it can be simpler to hire someone. I don't think Turbotax would pass a WCAG evaluation and I'm surprised less has gotten spoken around it.

[Tamás G (mindly.social/@Tamasg) @tamaccess]

Looks like Turbo Tax still has buttons labeled "[object Object]" during the tax review screen. Nice going on accessibility, Intuit. Normally you rock this.

[Tamás G (mindly.social/@Tamasg) @tamaccess]

@twynn92 Since retirement / investment stuff is simple to report through them I said screw it. But the amount of upgrade nag screens, and inconsistent radio button selectors that sometimes don't highlight with arrows alone, and a bunch of other stuff still surprised me. They've had time.

[Tamás G (mindly.social/@Tamasg) @tamaccess]

@twynn92 I haven't heard of one, which is why a lot of people I know hire accountants, but my tax situation was simple this year with a single W-2, and Turbo had my past years of data so they sucked me in.

This NVDA updating has wasted an hour of my workday across multiple machines. What a Monday. I will give this to them: It does not break speech synthesizers or many major things, just annoyances if anything

@dlee_code @tspivey Guess the site hasn't been updated, but the release is downloadable from:

[Tamás G (mindly.social/@Tamasg) @tamaccess]

yes same exactly, don't do the #NVDASR update until this gets updated.

[ground024 @ground024]

Tried updating the manifest.ini for NVDA remote addon as I did with IBMTTS but it seemed to have a bug where I would get stuck controling remote machine, so it may need more updates to work correctly.

Super busy with Axe-con for the next two days.

@FreakyFwoof I think if you expand it with alt+ down arrow it should, but sometimes with just down arrow it doesn't? Not entirely sure though

I re-tested auto-translation of `aria-label`.

Chrome & Edge offer auto-translation. Firefox, Safari, et al, do not (I recall Safari 14 / iOS 11 had it, but I cannot find it now?).

Still little or no support.
