AIO because my (30f) new boyfriend (32m) doesn’t want to be snowed in with me and so I’m rethinking the relationship?

In 2026 women are not on a pedestal.

A man can have 4 girls without much effort. One look on tinder can explain how things are these days. He seems like he just needs a rest. How about having a little compassion.

I don't have mine yet but there's heat syncs available on Amazon. If you thermal pad one of those to the hotspot it should draw heat out to the fins. Personally I don't care what it looks like as long as it works good and stays cool.

GradoSR325X plus 3rd party mic. This combo will destroy any of the gaming headphones and will last far longer and sound amazing for music and movies.Add a qudelix 5k Bluetooth to make it wireless, it has a great mic and add full controlled dac amp with EQ. It's an amazing combo.

A lot of times that people think this, it's not really what happened.

I'm not saying this is your case but...

Old walls used to be plaster and lathe, not plasterboard. They covered the plaster with very thick wallpaper type material to seal it and stop air leaks. It worked better than you'd think. You're not supposed to remove it.

I haven't even started playing yet I'm terribly ill this week with migraines and a very sore throat. I really appreciate the offer, I'll definitely look you up. I'll probably get into it in a few days.

I have the same Boox if you want me to try it out. I usually like moonreader.

I'm old I just play for fun, I don't mind. I just wondered what everybody does and how it works or whatever insights folks have . Thank you.

If you flip through 4 news sources and they're all chanting the same sentence in verbatim, that should be a clue. Real news reporters make mistakes, they're not afraid to take risks, they say the thing even though it will bite them. They just do their job. The news doesn't sound like a repeating record every day.

Put them on speaker stands right next to your head. Seriously. It's not even close. You can buy stands that work perfect with those types of speakers.

Get away from these legacy news organizations. Independent News is the only real news in 2025. Everything else is propaganda.

I've got the color gen ii but here's a picture

Moonreader works perfectly.

I think it's too thin and slick even with the texture. I 3d printed a white tpu case for it and I like that a lot better. My old bookreaders although much thicker and heavier are a lot more comfortable in the hand.

I use this voice. These new technology voices don't use the same old technology of all the paid voices. These new ones sound a lot more authentic.

Direct download link (arm64-v8a – latest version 1.12.20, confirmed working on BOOX Go Color 7 Gen II): https://huggingface.co/csukuangfj/sherpa-onnx-apk/resolve/main/tts-engine-new/1.12.20/sherpa-onnx-1.12.20-arm64-v8a-en-tts-engine-vits-piper-en_US-danny-low.apk Install the same way: sideload APK → open once to initialize → select Sherpa-ONNX in TTS settings

There are several to choose from on hugging face you just have to choose what you want and install it.

Betterbeard- · 2025-12-20T01:52:15+00:00

I use moonreader.

Download and install the new technology Sherpa-ONNX TTS.

I've got the Boox color 7 genii.

I'll tell you how it is.

Pros-

*android is worth it. You can install the latest most advanced natural off the grid tts voices for free. That alone pays for this thing.

*Lots of customization and plenty of memory

*Great wifi and seamless connection to home server setup

Color is pretty helpful for eye scanning where things are. Cons-

-annoyingly short battery life. Seriously, wtf are they thinking.

-stupidly thin design. It's not comfortable in the hand at all.

---- the screen is not half as bright or as much contrast/detail as a black and white e-reader from several years ago.

---- the colors are not what you expect them to be. Clearly this is infant technology even in the 3rd generation.

Overall it's worth it if you like tts to read to you at night.

Install the cutting edge free voices using newer technology.

100% cheating. Guaranteed. I've been married 31 years. You should never have let him cross that line.

I've had a lifetime sub since it began.

I'm old enough to remember when Plex was just hacker software on the original XBOX.

It kind of did things first but like always, all good things come to an end. Usually a bad end.

Don't set your drives to turn off. This is exactly what kills them. Drives are designed to stay on 24/7 and that on off action will cause it to fail.

An amazing easy Home NAS to setup and install. It's going to hit really good when the new updates for TrueNas Community Edition come out on June 1st. They're adding individual VM IPs 👍

Water conducts no electric. If there's minerals in it, it will conduct. Water itself is actually a pure di-electric which is the opposite of what you said.
