@Boris_yo most phone headphones seem to have one button or less.

Q: GRUB doesn't show up when second hard drive is present

I just finished messing with Windows 7 + Linux Mint dualboot and finally got it to work. Grub handles the booting. It works as expected as long as I have only my main hard drive connected. When I connect my second drive and start the laptop, the intro screen appears and then, instead of grub, o...

@Psycogeek I've used someone elses high quality voices before. They don't break your phone

not a massive improvement though

@JourneymanGeek ok, here goes.

Well the hQ voice works ok. It is less loud than the tiny one. It has more highs, so it is a bit hissy on the tiny speaker. She sounds much better, but trips over the same words that the tiny one does. Because of the low volume and the high pitch the voice is more sexy. Thats cool, but without loud it wont work as well in the car our speaking out of the pocket.

I wish they had a medium one, a nice blend between the 2. the 50-70Meg size is what many of the other TTS things have chosen for thier HQ voice stuff.

It took an long time to initiate the first words , but thereafter it does not seem to be acting different from the tiny one. Not sure about memory use, i can see free memory, but with caches and all, i know nothing about memory.

I would far rather have it reading me a book, but I do not have anything reading books.

Journeyman Geek

I tried that, sounds horrible.

I'm using google play books for that

Psycogeek

None of these things are very good at reading tech stuff, drop in an IP address and i just want to tell it to STFU :-)

Pick up on one of them horrible URLs out of the clipboard and it needs a filter.

@JourneymanGeek and the google play books are pre-recorded book readings?

Journeyman Geek

nope

@JourneymanGeek i think I may not make that setup after all

I've been reviewing the current "average" visualisators and I conclude that all of them are unsufferable pieces of unstable shit

Psycogeek

@HackToHell Its not disturbing if you use total intelectual capacity :-) just put the "street Smarts" graph in overlay .

@Psycogeek nobody needs street smartness when you've got google campus shuttles and self driving cars

HackToHell

@Psycogeek True, those kids are probably good at something else, but still since your college depends on those grades, the better schools are going to be filled with the rich

Psycogeek

@JourneymanGeek What is going on that the book is read better with that TTS? Does it have the phonic text in the file to read it all proper?

@Psycogeek audiobooks are really unnatural to me

I cannot stand just listening to something that is not interactive nor live nor at least carried on by more than one person

Psycogeek

Even Some employers recognise a bigger diversity of knowlege, and do not take "scores" as the be all and do all of a usefull employee. But that problably comes from dealing with rich arrogant assholes who wont really do work :-)

@Psycogeek I've always said IQ tests and such are for measuring how good a subject is at doing IQ tests, not measuring actual IQ

Tests largely reward memorisation, not comprehension

HackToHell

No test apart from the test of time really measures the intelligence and survivability of a person.

@HackToHell the market!

The market is the best test

@PatoSáinz link ?

@HackToHell link to what?

HackToHell

Uhm, is the market test some kind of standardized test or does it mean the survivability of a product(person) when introduced into the market(world)?

Psycogeek

But thats Ok, because harvard and yale graduates , didnt intend to work to begin with. they will just manage those that can do things.

Being around teachers, they are often saying that the "testing" is not very useful, about 5 minutes later one of the students isnt doing well, or disrupting class, and. . . they send them off for testing (the other kind).

@Psycogeek i so fucking hate almost everything in the current system and i can name an interminable list of shit is wrong with it, but we cannot do anything

Psycogeek

The politics creates the hurdles to improve the economy and perception of the schools, the teachers jump the hurdles, the kids, well who is really in charge of what goes into their heads , them. And the testing and graphing orginisations just want to charge $300 for a book (so to speak).

In school i would have rather been a journeyman at a work, applying and learning at the same time. Much more of it all Stuck, when there was a reason for it, an application of it.

But noo child labor laws, how terrible for the kids to have to like move , breathe , think , feel. it so slows the nuron switching processes , if they are not strapped to a chair memorising 200 year old history.

@Psycogeek I think a much more feasiable solution is to increase teacher wages and to go back to the old days of one-to-one master-apprentice greek (and also german) thing

Journeyman Geek

@Psycogeek you have a non audiobook book and you want to listen to it while dricing or something like that?

Psycogeek

@JourneymanGeek I do not really read actual books very often. Manuels pdfs, pages of manuel on web . The use of TTS right now in the phone is to tell everything that is going on. What is connected, what is on and off, and to read messages , also applied for car-gps (seperate tts) . None of the fluff, just the raw data :-)

The simple stuff, like after a boot, the phone saying Hello Master , great and wise, what can i do for you today :-)

(not really) it just tells the time, and what is switched, and if the wi-fi etc.

Doing the sripting stuff to both get the phone to automate things, and as a sub , to get everything done with less programs. EX: if tasker can do everything, why have 10 more programs. In doing that , being lame at programming, I have talking Debuging.

-Instead of seeing it scroll through the commands, and having a gui interface showing what is going on, i just put Speech into the scripting, to tell what is going on behind the scenes.

@Psycogeek lol nothing can replace my good ol' print statement debugging

Psycogeek

@PatoSáinz Yea, like that, why REMs when echos work :-)

It is also because my main PC does all that too. it is normally quiet, but tells me everything i need to know. So i can look at all the guages everywhere. The guages i set up then never look at.

PC as a co-worker. like any co-worker they would speak "hey doomass, didn't you see that" and point. Because nobody wants to be looking over my shoulder 24-7 , the PC will need to do that itself.

-"You've got mail" yea so what, is my disk full? is my connection failed? Is that long time task still running? What power mode am i in? why is my GPU slow? E-mail, heck tell me something useful.

Psycogeek

The GPU guage (sidebar) has a Klaxxon Alarm that goes off if the Gpu temps get to over 80*C . In the middle of a movie it goes off, and sounds like any other Klaxxon going off in an adventure or sci-Fi flick. It takes me a while to realise even what it is, or what alarm it is. If it would just Say "your gpu is hot", even if it also Beeps.

Then i can change the temp it triggers at, or raise a fan, or wonder what is going on with the dust or other fans or something. I may never hear that in another year. If it doesnt say what is wrong, it could be anything.
