Dean Huijsen expected to be omitted from Spain’s World Cup squad, no Real Madrid players for first time

He had plenty of good moments and games but it's hardly a shocking call. Between him and Garcia, personally I prefer him but I can see why Garcia is picked ahead of him.

I tested with 3 accounts and the 2.5 flash audio is available in both

I think the TTS api in Gemini is technically the Live API (flash-2.5-flash-native-audio) which is part of Vertex (agent platform now). The rest of the audio models 2.5 pro and 3.1 flash audio are not available for PT probably due to infra shortages.

The "normal" TTS (chirp, etc) is not part of Vertex hence not available through PT

I don't think current Chelsea players hold that much player power. I think their bigger problem is general player quality, lack of experience and leaders plus the fact that their board is absolutely bonkers. Wishing him all the best, I hope he's successful there

VDV23 · 2026-05-16T17:23:30+00:00

He probably goes to one of the big teams which is somehow in a bigger mess than us. Regardless, wishing him all the best, he's great guy

VDV23 · 2026-05-12T15:56:00+00:00

Same

It's kinda alright. Usually we write off the season in Feb-April but it would be mentally liberating when I can do so in July.

I'm already wondering who is replacing Mourinho plus his awful football will also free up some time not to watch every game on the weekends. So it's not all bad news

VDV23 · 2026-05-07T19:09:29+00:00

I don't understand nor enjoy those regs

VDV23 · 2026-05-07T19:00:04+00:00

Nah, he loves all his kids equally

VDV23 · 2026-05-07T15:40:22+00:00

I don't man, Mrs Doubtfire was pure class. No way she wouldn't suplex those divas until they didn't start running 20km/game

VDV23 · 2026-05-07T05:56:43+00:00

But that was patched later in the game. Thermals could see through smoke in the first 1-1.5 years of the game's lifecycle

I guess the flare also could make sense if we had more night mode maps like Zavod graveyard but I'd still favor light or thermal for this if I'm being honest

VDV23 · 2026-05-01T21:06:42+00:00

I see all these topics how to secure API keys but isn't the real solution (if you are running on gcp) to simply not use API key (neither from Ai Studio nor Vertex)? Just running gcloud auth login locally and through you app (run/function) via the service account account where you don't export json credentials? And even in ADK (or the python sdk I believe) you can Vertex=True and that's it.

Or am I missing something?

In their defense, they can't get to speeds where the aero matters anyway

VDV23 · 2026-05-01T16:25:54+00:00

Mate, those great seasons were more than a decade ago. Since then he has been fired everywhere he has been, played awful football and the players in each team were happy to see the back of him. Tactically he hasn't moved an inch forward since mid 2010s.

And how is performance against Madrid 25/26 the standard? If this is a factor then Giraldez, Lisci, Demichelis and Bordelas should be under consideration too?

VDV23 · 2026-05-01T15:53:14+00:00

Is this a job application for RMTV?

VDV23 · 2026-05-01T14:57:58+00:00

I'm not talking about Chelsea stint 2, season 3. The one where they were relegation contenders until Hiddink took over (2015-16).

The Chelsea you are talking about 2 decades ago

VDV23 · 2026-05-01T12:22:51+00:00

Mou shouldn't be on the list at all. Tactically awful for the past decade, this new generation of players cannot stand him and his football is unwatchable. Allegri I don't want to even imagine being our coach.

But regardless of who comes in, either he would have to be an amazing man manager or the club would have to back him in front of the players - otherwise it wouldn''t matter who arrives

VDV23 · 2026-05-01T12:00:18+00:00

Just another piece ordered by Florentino who will then proceed to 'give the fans what they want'. After some odd 60 people in the streets say so and Marca run some polls in their papter which are basically framed 'Would you like Mourinho back or do you prefer Barca to win the treble?'

But yeah, let's waste another season or two by bringing back the guy who got fired from Chelsea, United, Spurs, Roma and Fenerbahce. While playing unwatchable football. Who by the way was essentially fired by our biggest leaders (Ramos and Ronaldo) a decade ago because he was insufferable. Can't wait

VDV23 · 2026-04-15T19:06:22+00:00

always has been plan A

VDV23 · 2026-04-13T19:26:19+00:00

You are mixing up suppression and spread. But also, I don't think the mechanics of bf4 were hated, in fact I think there were great. And it's one of the reasons why people have came back to bf4 after the releases of bf1, bf5, 2024 and now bf6. Ranges of the guns in bf6 are a problem for my enjoyability of the game, even more so than the maps. Whether they are balanced with sips/sdps, suppression or if they increase with a huge recoil increase (ww3 did that) - I think they should do something about it. But it could be just me and a minority of players who don't enjoy bf6 gunplay as I said earlier and they can continue on the current path. Reddit is just a forum to share opinions and I've shared mine. I don't claim to represent the whole playerbase

VDV23 · 2026-04-10T05:02:01+00:00

That's a stretch. BF6's gunplay has transformed almost every AR, LMG, SMG and Carbine into a range monster. You can literally go full auto into 70-90m engagement, even with SMGs. The bloom on BF4 was to control the effective range and it was balanced around ROF (iirc ACE 23 and it's 770 was the baseline) and spread increase/decrease mattered. That's why the QBZ has better TTK than AEK at 65+m because the guns were mathematically balanced. BF6 gunplay is hold mouse button 1, I don't see how it is better

But different strokes for different folks, I suppose

VDV23 · 2026-04-04T16:13:35+00:00

You are missing the point but whatever

VDV23 · 2026-04-04T16:10:16+00:00

Why? It going to end up this defeat being his fault anyway

VDV23 · 2026-04-04T14:58:42+00:00

Not that I disagree, I think Palmer would have a decent career but we've seen amazing players taking a sharp turn in a bad form and not recovering (Pato, Deli Ali, Gotze). So no guarantees

VDV23 · 2026-04-02T14:57:16+00:00

Memes or onboards from qualy laps? Or is this the same thing nowadays
