- Comment on Simple NAS hardware for home use? 18 hours ago:
I conveniently was given a Synology ds412 by Amazon many years ago (and being as I had just been fired from the phone job with them due to a “mistake” in hiring me, I figured I’d keep it. Also learned that when you work security, don’t piss off secretaries while doing the job, even as a contractor). I still use it. Not powerful, but it serves up most video alright, and is ok as a download space.

Save a profile in tts server, then go into read > tts settings and change voice to profile you saved. I don’t remember but you may need readera premium.
- Comment on Audible unveils plans to use AI voices to narrate audiobooks 5 days ago:
Download TTS Server, and change the engine in Readera to use it. Use the Microsoft Azure settings in TTS, much more realistic. Little slow though is my only complaint as it sends/receives a paragraph at time, resulting in a pause now and again.
- Comment on Kids are short-circuiting their school-issued Chromebooks for TikTok clout 1 week ago:
We just pulled stupid pranks, like setting a repeating function with sound at the highest frequency in BASIC and locking the machines… on all the computers.

I searched and the first time ever received a message about tiktok protection, etc. They are censoring apparently.

- Comment on Starbucks' new drive-thru in Texas is the coffee giant's first 3D printed store in the US 2 weeks ago:
I have an old Ender 3, that rarely turns on, then my Bambu P1s decided to fight dirty one day and the whole damn hotend broke off. Like they glue it up in there or something and I had to buy a replacement… 3 days of torture waiting on that damn thing. But the thing rarely fucks up a print (when pieces don’t fall off), even if I do weird shit like leave supports off and bridge a gap like 4 inches (ok, so inside was thready as fuck, but outside was great, and at 4mm thick and it was for my DWV pipe converted chicken feeder I don’t give af)

For a work machine with a lot of text and little graphics, this is great. Less eye strain for long periods.

Generally they lay steel plates at certain preprogrammed intervals to place in windows. A worker sits on standby while it pauses a few seconds to just place the part. Not a difficult feat. Just laziness or frugalness on the construction.

From a 3d print perspective - holy shit the extrusion is way off. Extra splooge on the corners, layer lines are shit. I’d trash it and recalibrate. Even concrete prints can look better.

Not just horror… the torment in that voice… fucking hell. Feel so bad for them both.

Especially when there are legitimate routes to volunteer under police guidance and jurisdiction. Join one of those groups instead, and let the legal system jail them.

If T60 armor were real, battles would definitely be faster. There’s a reason the Battle of Anchorage changed the tide. And that was just the T45 armor. Had a weak point though apparently.
- Comment on The Pebble Has Been Brought Back 1 month ago:
I use my autopebble with tasker. Scripted a few things, like find my phone, load my audiobook, messages, etc. Used to have Google Home messages and lights and stuff, but I stopped using smarthome stuff for the most part. Mostly I use it for music control and weather and time though.
- Comment on Chromecast (2nd gen) and Audio cannot Cast in 'Untrusted' outage 2 months ago:
Just looked it up. It was with Sonos. It was also when they removed the ability to stream to multiple devices at once (I think that changed , but got rid of a lot of my chrome speakers due to the decline in recognition.)
- Comment on Chromecast (2nd gen) and Audio cannot Cast in 'Untrusted' outage 2 months ago:
They were discontinued because they lost a patent case. This one I won’t blame on Google… cept maybe for their legal team not flagging it for patent infringement.
- Comment on YSK: If your house has a split AC unit it probably could use a cleaning 2 months ago:
Also don’t forget to look at your insulation around your lines outside each year. They need replacing sometimes. If you can feel cold, you need a new one. If you don’t, you’ll see ice forming in the summer, and that is very very bad. Don’t forget to test heat and cold BEFORE you really need it (we just tested ours on a decent warm day)

I go to an HVAC supplier every year and buy this green can of amazing chemicals. Spray the fins, let sit for about 15min, then spray off with a hose. Gleaming, shiny metal.
