go out there and do some damage

@lion my wife got new sony ones just in time for nov 5th, they were already popping fireworks here last night and she genuinely thought they'd stopped the moment she put her headphones on

there should be a game jam called jamuary. and it's ran in april

it was RP2350 not waking from low power sleep state.

great i'm having an issue where repeating timers work fine on RP2040 but don't trigger on RP2350 unless i'm actively debugging with OpenOCD inwhich case they don't show anything wrong with them at alland all i can find are people having the opposite issue where timers don't run while debugging and so nobody else has the same issue as me as is usual with computers and i will never find the solution to it

@jaseg thanks, aware of it but the price is prohibitive for me atm, and i'm not sure if the VST format will be easy for me to integrate into anything but a musical DAW

@gothpanda that's interesting and i'll take a look at it but i'm looking more for voice synthesizers than anything that uses recorded speech as a source

that could've been clearer in my first post

thank you

in fact i recall once finding the link to that compilation again at some point and finding out it got taken down

hopefully i'll get to listen to the MD again and make a proper tracklist of what was on it

some time around near 10 years ago or so when i first got a netmd player i bodged together some scripts to allow me to write minidiscs under linux (well before web-based, ugh, solutions made it "easier") and wrote a, i think 2 hour long or so, youtube citypop compilaion to a single LP2 MD

i can't find that particular compilation anymore and i'm separated from that MD by the atlantic ocean, which is a shame

yes the idea is to find voices that sound robotic, synthesized

i know that's not what most people using TTS want them to sound like, that's why it's so hard for me to find what i want

yes i already know about dectalk. i know there are many other TTS engines from the 80s and 90s and those all feel like vapourware now because you can't find anything on them anymore

i want recommendations for free text to speech interfaces like those used for speech impaired people (screens of icons for quick vocabulary, customizable, with option for full text input)

bonus points for something with a highly customizable voice, or also seeking recommendations for any tts voice that's local, customizable, not genAI, runs on old hardware. i don't want solutions that only work with the system's black box TTS i have to find arcane packs for

please boost! ​

TIL one form of CDDA copy protection is intentionally corrupted error correction codes causing audible glitches in ripped copies which explains a lot of MP3s i downloaded as a teenager sounding the way they did

@arielmt we revived a very cheap very shitty android tablet a few days ago by replacing the battery and the moment it turned on the boot noise sounded like it was about to blow out the speakers

in fact once we got into the system proper anything above the very lowest non-mute volume setting was deafening

@eltonfc i repaired a couple before i left brazil :)
