If you are using an ancient e-mail client like Outlook Express or Windows Live Mail (of a certain age, anyway) you'll have to enable the less secure apps option, and even then only sometimes. You have the option of using app-specific passwords (but that's only if you have 2-step verification on - and I never do as I consider it gross overkill on my Google account). Even utilities to do things like mass deletion of Google Calendar events or to sync Google Contacts and Calendar to Outlook are OAUTH2 compliant. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 Science has become just another voice in the room; it has lost its platform.

It seems that big pdf files can not be read by NVDA on brave. I deal with really big files everyday, so it does not help me... Anyway, thank you! Em qua., 6 de mai. de 2020 às 18:07, Sarah k Alawami <marrie12@...> escreveu:

Hi Fresh Start,
Actually the file name is 3.0, but if you look at the properties, it is actually 3.1. On 5/7/2020 2:46 AM, Fresh Start wrote:

Re: NVDA 2020.1 released
Quentin, the main NV Access RSS feed has been imported to the group, as well as the community add ons RSS feed. So, posting through the blog will eventually make it to the list. I believe Groups checks for integration updates every hour? But anyway, this means less work for you. You just post the blog post or any NV Access update and it gets beamed to this list.

It took a few tries for my update to come through. If anybody else is having issues, I'd actually just restart the computer. :) I should do that more often, honestly. But yeah, this is a good update! I'm excited to see what NV Access can do with Python 3.

Re: google and insecure apps
Gene
Since GMail considers almost every program to be
less secure and since you aren't likely to be hacked using these widely used
programs, why bother to learn another program that is more secure but where it
doesn't matter?
If you are hacked, you will know immediately.
you will receive a message from GMail to your back up e-mail address telling you
that someone logged into your account with this or that device and I believe
giving an approximate location. If you use a good password, unless your
machine is infectedd with malware or GMail itself is hacked, I consider the risk
of being hacked to be small or negligible.
If I used e-mail for some sort of important
purposes, I would encrypt it if privacy were a concern. for typical
discussions such as list mail and conversations with friends, why
bother?

To those on outlook and other programs as long as your program supports o auth 2 it will be fine. Even though thunderbird with normal passwords works fine with o auth I get a faster experience with sending and recieving. I did have less secure apps on, but just turned it off since now I am able to use o auth in thunderbird I have no desire or need to leave that active. Becides google keeps complaining about it every so often so I don't have it. If you currently use outlook as a home user and either don't use any advanced features or are only using it for mail, I'd personally switch to thunderbird and turn on o auth so that you can get mail without this insecure stuff. You can also buy office 2019 which should have this security standard.

Recent Issue with Excessive Verbosity in Thunderbird When Using NVDA (Announcement Only)
I have been following this bug since I contributed to it on the NVDA GitHub. As of this afternoon, it is officially closed.
The issue was with Thunderbird, not NVDA, and the final note when the bug was closed is, "Fixed in Thunderbird 68.8" -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 Science has become just another voice in the room; it has lost its platform.

That's unfortunate if it is...Why? (And that's a serious question.) There had been an issue with PDFs in the stable version of the new Edge, but I believe that has been fixed now.

Re: PDF Alternative Apart from Edge?

I like to use bookworrm. The only problem I notice is: it tweaks the lines to have the same cize, so it adds artificial line breaks. It makes us not able to read by paragraphs and you need to remove line breaks when you're copying quotes to make a paper. If you just want to read continuously, it's really nice!

You said you are using "nvdaremote" for the host. I don't know if you meant that literally, but if so, be aware that it should be "nvdaremote.com". You were probably just using shorthand there, but I have seen such seemingly obvious oversights cripple many hours of productivity as well, so thought I would point it out. Luke
