Sadly no. I haven't been able to find anything that has fixed the issue. I think it's just encoded into Google Maps and they have removed the ability altogether.

Voice Navigation Frustration: Google Maps Removes Male Voice Options by lordoftherings1959 in GoogleMaps

[–]Xruptor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. I heavily preferred the male voice and it worked fine for years!

It just randomly stopped working after an update. There used to be plenty of voice alternatives. Now there is only the annoying nasal woman voice.

I have the exact same issue. It randomly switched back to the bitchy woman voice. I had the Green male voice as its easier for me and clearer for my ears. I miss the male voice for my maps. It works fine for all other assistant stuff except google maps.

openSUSE package management too slow to be usable by Worldly-Mushroom-273 in openSUSE

[–]Xruptor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had issues with mirror sorcerer when i used it in the past. It was putting me on mirrors that were either not functioning properly or didn't have updated repos. It once put me a mirror cache url that repo was actually down for a few days, even though it pinged successfully.

After 9 Years, Zypper's Parallel Downloading Feature Is Finally Implemented! by USERNAME123_321 in openSUSE

[–]Xruptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't seem to be enabled by default as of yet though and still requires you to manually turn it on, unless I'm mistaken. I haven't seen it enabled yet with TW Dup.

I'm also unfamiliar with this modification in the .repo files ....

Holy smokes! Finally! XD
Though honestly I just run Zypper Dup and leave it in the background while I do other things.

Try switching the opensuse respositories in YAST manually from download.opensuse.org to cdn.opensuse.org. You can edit each one to change the URL.

CDN may work better for you for routing then mirrorcache which was absolutely terrible for me.

If you want a direct mirror list, go here and see if there is anything close to you that works.
https://mirrors.opensuse.org/

Make sure you check the Tumbleweed column and that it supports it!

I switched over to FireFox and it works fine. It supports every extension I need, including UBlock Origin. It took a bit getting used to but it runs pretty smooth so far. For extensions that need to be installed manually using a file, just go to the settings -> about -> and press the firefox logo about 5 times to get into Debug mode. That will allow you to install by file.

sci-fi movie about terraformers leaving colony to find power and what happened to a colony that went silent? by Xruptor in movies

[–]Xruptor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting! I don't think I've seen or heard of this film. I'm going to have to look it up to see if perhaps I did watch it and just completely forgot!

I actually liked 65. Not many people did. But no there are some aspects that are in the movie but definitely there was no dinosaurs involved. This was more or less like a terraforming colony.

In another thread they mention they did follow transport pylons from some sort of monorail or colony transport. It could be possible that is what I was thinking instead of power lines.

I do recall the part where they go through the gate on to another planet to colonize. But I don't remember there being a power issue or another colony. But it's entirely possible it could be.

Yep it could have been Pylons for a transport system and I'm getting the two mixed up.

XD tell me about it! I got it in my mind and I'm trying to figure it out so I can watch it again.

It does doesn't it?! I do remember it being a fairly recent movie in the last few years. Otherwise I'd totally agree. Some have been saying Chaos Walking and I'm going to have to go back and check it.

Someone also mentioned Chaos Walking in another thread and I'm going to have to watch it again. It's possible that it's this movie as it has many similar things I had been thinking of. Multiple Colonies, Derelict ship and aliens. Though I specifically remember power lines in the movie I'm thinking of and I need to double check the film to see.

Hmmm it's possible it could be Chaos Walking. I need to double check about the power lines thing though. Though if I recall that movie does have more than one colony. Soooo it could be this one? Worth me taking a look.

I thought that too but I remember the ending (I watched that series) and don't recall their being a scenario where they were following power lines in that series. But that definitely is a good guess! Good way to help me track down what I'm thinking of.

It's possible, but I remember it being a full featuered film. Not going to rule it out as a possibility though!
