Make sure they have an open source version, and if they fuck around, find a fork.

Sorry, I mean why even call it Tumblr if it’s just WordPress at this point?

TIL: Tumblr is still alive.

What’s the point of it just being WordPress though? That’s…odd.

Drive controller board or the interface. The physical plates inside are likely fine though. You can probably have this recovered for under $500.

If it doesn’t require an API key in the config, it’s offline. My HA works totally offline unless I need to do updates, and it’s always worked for me.

You can also view the code, cuz open source.

Good

Yes. Have a look at the docs: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/google_translate/

This is not a thing. It’s a pathetic tool for CEOs to create game engagement for their dead platforms and falsely inflate their usefulness for buyout money.

Pico, Piper, Mary, and Google all run locally and off of CPU only.

I think all the rest require cloud accounts or acceleration hardware to work quickly.

I’m personally fine with Mary or Piper, but I know some people like the fancier ones.

Is this shitty AI? This comment makes no sense. If not AI, maybe some key words got mixed up?

Pretty much just personal preference at this point. XTTS is certainly not the most efficient though.

I agree as well. No reason to not use it. If there were better ways to build an alternative, one would exist.

It already is. They’ll bleed users until they are irrelevant at this point.

Yup. Pretty dumb.

Well…I mean…that’s kind of bound to happen when you draw 600W into a device that size I suppose. I feel like they’ve had this issue with every *090 card, whether it be cables or otherwise.

That’s why I qualified my comment with “most”.

Corporations gonna corporate so that’s why they don’t want their employees freelancing. Amazon, for example, has contracts that say they own all code created by engineers during their employment, so if one WAS going to freelance, Amazon could lay claim to any work they created, causing immense problems for the engineer. Now, whether or not and where those contracts are enforceable is another question.

The problem with most of these ideas is that they would violate a large majority of developers’ employment contracts. A lot of companies have overly restrictive contracts that prevent employees from freely creating other work without the possibility of legal retribution if found out.

Obviously, check your contracts for these conditions and their enforceability in your locale (some people are forced to sign these in the US but they are not enforceable in most places).

SD cards get thrashed pretty quickly from high I/O usage. Install and setup log2ram to mitigate some of that issue, and put any heavy logging to wherever you set the log2ram mount (/var/log by default). Note this will extend the life of the SD card, but reduce your available RAM while running. Another option is getting an NVME hat or USB adapter to not run on off of SD.
