No, I’m not paying for that
The money goes only to the seller, not to the cracker that worked hard just for the glory

I’d also have accepted the money if I were him but at least I would have wrote a blog post explaining the situation, that now the apps are dead and controlled by a bad actor and need to get uninstalled as soon as possible.
Not almost denying it while continuing to get money on his Patreon from unaware users
I donated to the Tibor guy and I feel betrayed for how he managed the situation
It’s always a danger when a malicious company purchases a famous open source project.
Like that israeli adware company that bought simple mobile tools
Why the fuck are they using a cloud tts on an Android device??? Can’t they use on device tts?? Seems extremely stupid for no reason
It’s expensive. They are paying a fee to the third party tts provider each single time someone needs a response. They boast “no subscriptions” - that means those fees are paid only by new customer purchases. Ponzi 2.0
It’s fucking expensive. Elevenlabs tts voices costs thousands of dollars per month plus $0.18 per 1000 characters. Ask the history of a monument and the verbose result that the LLM regurgitated costs them $0.15. Are they banking on the fact that most customers would just shelf the device after a day?
It’s slower. Each time the device needs to reply, it needs to stream an audio file instead of a few bytes of compressed text
For the more realistic voices it’s only cheaper in the short term. I get it - they don’t like the robotic free voices and licensing a good closed source one costs money. But then you don’t need to pay the “cloud” forever. Did they plan to shut down shortly after the launch? Where the money for running each user in a VM is coming out? (I saw from a YouTube video that it looked like they were using a browser automation tool in a VM)
At this point since everything is run on the cloud (=somebody else’s computer) this could not only be a smartphone app, but a smartwatch app.
I wonder if they will just fold and do a rug pull now blaming the hackers or fix the problem.
Fixing the problem seems difficult for them - need to fully rewrite the app and having everything proxied through their authenticated server, increasing their expenses (and a rushed fix isn’t secure/tested). But their money comes only from new investors and new customers, and at this point I doubt that they can sell more units or scam more investors.
also, when you have 5g failover on the router and the fiber it’s down, it automagically continues to work without admin intervention
For me it was annoying enough to switch to android. I really felt like I had to use iCloud, forced through my throat. I have ocd and a red dot means “I need to open this app immediately RIGHT NOW to clear it” - and then your can’t clear it until you subscribe
it’s a dark pattern deliberately chosen to let people get annoyed and pay for icloud. On windows people instead will accidentally fill their onedrive account and that’s it. They won’t even know that they’re using it. It might send some scary emails like “your cloud backup is full!!!11 you gonna lose everything!!111” but those go directly in spam. Error messages in windows for regular users appear like “����� �������� �����������” - their eyes don’t have the right encoding to understand the message, so they just click OK and dismiss it. Instead, the red dot is prominent in the home screen of every iphone and bother also those that don’t read the error messages…
I had one of those NAS (NSA320). Even when they were new and suppoted they were using some ancient custom version of linux with ancient packages. It would be insane to expose them on the internet.
They never reinstalled OneDrive after an update… yet
(I hate how I have to uninstall useless shit after updates)
Yes, it doesn’t get re enabled but I totally hate that annoying red dot on settings if you don’t set iCloud
Isn’t apple doing the same?
Designed to fill the 5gb immediately so you’re going to buy more cloud space immediately
When I had an iPhone, there was an annoying red dot on the settings icon “warning, you didn’t enable cloud backups for photos”, and if you enabled it become an annoying red dot “warning you ran out of iCloud space”
Well, first there are a million active forks.
Second, it’s literally useless. It just shows your PC specs so when you screenshot and share it online people can know that you could afford that specific hardware. E-penis 2.0
never heard about stcp nor i see something called like that in their github repository
Does it have authentication?
For safety i’d add an additional layer of authentication. Easy way: cloudflare access + cloudflare tunnel; hard mode: authelia + a reverse proxy
While RDP (exclusive to pro) is useful, why you use that for sharing files? Isn’t better to use SMB (available on home)? It should be faster as you wouldn’t need to connect to the whole desktop and use the tiny windows UI to choose the files one by one. Also RDP apps on iOS have full phone access? Seems weird that Apple could approve that, even on Android don’t have that, only a sandboxed folder
Closed source but if you pay enough you can get the source
they mentioned some issues when reviewing the updated ROG Ally, i was surprised about that - yet of course they continue to love boasting about how great Asus monitors and computers are, because of all the sponsorship money & free product supply
They have some balls - when you do videos that expose companies like this or the MSI claw you won’t get the lucrative sponsorships like LTT
Companies like to sponsor videos like shortcircuit that in the end are ten minutes long ads about a sponsored product
It seems unlikely that with this lspci output you actually have a Radeon.
Any sticker on the board that say it’s a Radeon? Maybe the seller “accidentally” swapped the heatsinks with a different card when cleaning that (but GPU heatsinks aren’t universal like this IMHO)
Try on a different computer as a main GPU
I already tried to swap circuit boards in identical Seagate ide drives and not only it worked to recover the data but technically that windows 98 PC still boots today (I turn it on once a year because I have a very old SCSI film scanner that doesn’t work with newer stuff)
You should try the experience, I used ddrescue to create an image
