Every time I see one of those "click all photos with x" things, I cringe. My visual impairment means that I *cannot* easily identify all photos with bicycles.

So after I try once or twice, I have to switch to the audio. But that's sometimes difficult with the American accent and the static and background noise they deliberately insert. And the radio's playing at the time, and my laptop speakers aren't the best, so I need to mute the radio and pick up and switch on my headset....

At least I'm not completely blind, so I can still see the button to switch to audio without resorting to a screen reader and moving my mouse cursor slowly across the screen until I happen upon it. :/

Trivia today: the first road vehicle to hit 100 km/h did so in 1899, and incidentally, it was also full electric.

I don't know if this is true (ask your favourite LLM 🙃), but it does seem to coincide with the Gadget article I shared the other day, about EVs.
