I’ve had an AFO for my leg for most of my life. However, I greatly struggle to wear it because it is torture. My leg actually fights against it and fights worse if I do anything except walk, so I can’t stand still or sit or anything in it without my leg getting worse. When I’ve tried to tell the brace fitters or physical therapist, their response is just putting in more of the shitty foam stuff. Has anyone found something better? I’m wondering if they’ll be able to work with me more on it now that I’m an adult and they can take me more seriously, or if it’s just an issue common to all AFO’s? Anyone else with a rebellious foot? I’d appreciate any advice or just commiseration!

I have been an Apple user, but I have been unimpressed ever since being forced to upgrade to iOS 17. Dictation has gotten significantly worse and voiceover is not as good as it once was. The last straw was the continued deterioration of dictation even in the newest updates and now the liquid glass update making contrast significantly worse.

I am looking at switching to android. I have heard the dictation is now significantly better on their phones. I know that the pixel and the Samsung are the two main ones, and have seen a lot of frozen cons to both of them. I use my phone a lot with earbuds, so I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts or experience with good phone earbud combinations for dictation and screen reader use?
