In this episode of Double Tap, Steven Scott and Shaun Preece dive into a packed show full of accessible tech updates, sharp opinions, and laugh-out-loud moments.

They open with breaking news about the Nintendo Switch 2 gaining accessibility features—big news for gamers with disabilities. But what does it actually mean in practice? Can blind users now enjoy games fully? Accessibility advocate and YouTuber Steve Saylor joins the conversation later to explain exactly what this update involves and what gamers can realistically expect.

From there, the hosts explore the future of AI-powered robots and whether they'd trust a machine to give them a haircut. This light-hearted but thought-provoking chat leads to a deeper conversation about the rise of robotics, AI's current limitations, and tech giants like Apple and Tesla’s vision of the future.

Listeners also get a tour of Microsoft Copilot’s latest features, how accessible it’s become on Windows, and why its voice conversations are surprising even seasoned users. Steven shares frustrations about the inconsistent accessibility across apps like NOA (News Over Audio) and praises services like Dolphin EasyReader and RNIB Newsagent.

In tech nostalgia, they react to Skype shutting down and reminisce about ICQ and old messaging days. Plus, they review the Meta AI rollout in WhatsApp and discuss the value of smarter AI tools for searching messages and content across platforms like Mastodon.

From product shoutouts to accessibility wins and rants about tech UI, it’s an energetic, funny, and insightful episode you won’t want to miss.
