Jeff Geerling discusses having done the same, in one of his videos.
I have a friend who is graphic designer for a small shop. Customers drop off work at the front desk, and depending on how much effort it works out to be, it can land on his desk.
Some customers insist on explaining to “the designer directly”. They get told/warned that it’s more expensive (hourly) and that the clock starts as soon as he walks up to the counter. And some customers agree to these terms.
It’s always entertaining to hear his stories.
“This here’s the Lockpocking Lawyer, and today we’re going to take a closer look at the Flipper Zero….”
Wild guess, reading between the lines:
Dad had an extramarital affair. His squeeze got preggers. Dad is suddenly pro-choice.
Mom finds out about the affair and the pregnancy and is now mad at dad.
OP only knows what his parents have shared, intentionally or not.
and what looks to be some sort of dried landlord repair fluid.
Not that the landlord needs to be really broken before you’re able to see the benefits of using the repair fluid.
For slightly broken landlords, don’t waste perfectly good repair fluid on them.
“WHOA THERE DUDE! Geez, didn’t you see that paper cup being blown by the wind?? Totally saved your ass.”
I did that for one neighbour in one apartment complex where we lived. Her laptop sucked ass beforehand.
True, there’s that :)
And of course there are those times that Alexa completely misunderstands. Neither my wife nor I know how it happened, but some months back we discovered “blow job” on our list.
“Alexa, add bananas”
“Alexa, 3 minutes”
“Alexa, add 30 seconds”
I think that’s just about everything I’ve ever used it for.
Dunno about “usually”. Our last house was fairly nice, but didn’t have this sink feature. That said, you could walk around and see where the builder went for the cheapest option available.
That said, this kitchen sink feature should literally be the absolute minimum for consideration.
Dude needs to get with the program.
Use a single plate, cup, knife, fork, spoon, lot, pan. Never unbox the rest.
Either that, or just eat over the sink.
It really comes down to apps.
The only flag you mentioned that caught my attention was Word and Word templates. I’ve not tried Word templates.
I figure your options are either Libre Office or something cloud based, eg, Google Docs.
One thing you could try is to set up a VM or boot a live CD (USB) and try on the things that most concern you.
Very true, and along the lines of what I was thinking.
But it wouldn’t surprise me if there were a way to establish a voice print. In fact, isn’t that already a thing? Even if it is a little rough around the edges, it wouldn’t surprise me if we were even closer to a higher reliability than thought.
With or without that, consider the copyright infringement suits for someone wanting to protect their song, melody, or whatever. Someone could poke at the 8 keys of a toy piano, and if a music artist’s legal team felt it sounded close enough to the original? The ol’ beatdown-by-seeking-damages trick if not a cease and desist order.
Anyway. If someone has enough money and too much time, they’ll make a case out of anything.
Man, I misunderstood the headline. I thought the AI had created a likeness of her voice, and SJ was going after them for that.
Which begs the question, just how unique are our voices? There’s being distinct, and then there’s being literally one of a kind.

Around 15 years ago or so:
Everyone got a $5 Starbucks gift card for Christmas.
There had been no raises or COL adjustments for years.
Vivaldi?
I’ve taken to using a checklist on my phone that I update daily. However, remembering to use it is still a problem at times.
So my B-tier power would be Remembers To Use Checklist At Least Once A Day Man.
2 years later, somewhere in their sales and marketing departments:
“Hey, you know what would make us even more money?”
“No, but do tell”
“Advertising”
“Genius - how is it nobody has ever thought of this before?”
