[nabs-l] security alerts on the braillenote

Mon Mar 11 11:29:44 UTC 2013

I've had the security alert issue too. Going on Bookshare has 
become a pain since it literally takes 10 minutes to get on the 
dang website. The BN/iPhone pairing is a good idea, as long as 
you have Read2Go on your iPhone and can read the book in an 
environment where phones can be used. I don't know a way around 
them, but I do know what causes the security alerts. Every 
website has security certificates signed by different companies 
to say that they're authentic websites. The BN program doesn't 
have a good list of security companies, so when an unfamiliar one 
pops up, it sends one of those alerts. So it's a Humanware issue, 
not a user issue.

Hi,

Have you tried pairing your BN up with your Iphone and going off 
of
Safari using the BN only as a display?  I know the pairing takes 
a
little time, but if it doesn't give you the alerts any more it 
might
be worth it.  Personally I use the BrailleSense and love it.  The
On-Hand is smaller and only slightly thicker than the Apex, still 
has
all the standard features like word processing, calculator, 
calendar,
etc, and the internet is pretty good on it.  Didn't mean to throw 
out
the shameless plug, but if you get to the point where you need a 
new
notetaker it might be something to consider.

 I think i saw something about it on the BN mailing list, but 
someone said
 their computer was doing it too, and I have not had that 
problem.  Overall,
 the thread on it was not too helpful, but maybe I just didn't 
dig deep
 enough.

 Another bad part about all this is, I can't even exit the 
internet because
 the dialog pops up again. I have to reset my BN.

 It's sadly getting to the point where, if not for the braille 
display, the
 BN would not be worth having…at least that's my thinking.

 I know the BN can only do so muc, but if it were half as good as 
a mobile
 device that would be something.  I don't mean to bash the 
braillenote or the
 manufacturer, and I appologize if my tone is coming across as 
such, it's
 just…to spend that much money on a device and have your 
iphone/ipad, which
 coasts a fifth of the price, work more flawlessly is a wee bit
 disappointing.

 Maybe humanware should up the game and make a iphone/ipad 
docking station
 with a braille display at the bottom…or an iphone/ipad case with 
a braille
 display somehow built in.  You have to admit, that would be 
beautiful. :)

 If anyone figures out a way around this, please let me know. 
Thanks so
 much.

 good evening Valerie. I get those annoying things all the time! 
I can not
 figure a way around them either. Do you know of  the braillenote 
mailing
 list?

 Hi,

 Quick question.  Does anyone ever get a ton of security alerts 
while
 using the internet on the braillenote apex?  When I go to 
facebook or
 bookshare, I'll get:
 Security alert dialog.
 informationyou exchange with this site cannot be viewed or 
changed by
 others. However, there is a problem with the site's security 
certificate.
  The security certificate is from a trusted certifying athority.
 The security certificate date is valid.
 The name on the security certificate is invalid or does not 
match the
 name of the site.
 Do you want to continue?

 The problem is:
 1.  I can sometimes get eight or ten of these in a row, and I 
just hit
 yes on it.
 2.  When i'm moving to a new line on the dialog, the braillenote 
lags.
 for example, from "The name on the security certificate is 
invalid…" to
 "do you want to continue…" it takes the braillenote a second at 
most to
 jump from those two line.  When you're dealing with four lines, 
that's
 four seconds, just to get to the prompt.  With all of that added 
up, it
 takes about a minute to get past that.  I even tried hitting 
"no" on the
 prompt and it still brings up security stuff..

 Any advice, suggestions, helpful hints, complaints such as this, 
etc? :)

 Thanks
