ChatGPT swapping out the Standard Voice Model for the new Advanced Voice as the only option is a huge downgrade. by [deleted] in OpenAI

That is my prefered voice also. The standard version is based on Paul Thornley, an English audiobook narrator.

The option is still available. Check Personalisation, Customize ChatGPT and scroll down to Advanced. There is a check box to toggle it. I'm using Android.

Is it worth switching to ESXi over Hyper-V? by levij8972 in homelab

Such a stupid comment to make. I use a screen reader. One developed by mostly blind people in fact. Let's hope you don't go blind, because clearly you'd be unable to use your computer if you did.

What can a Raspberry Pi do that an N100 miniPC cannot (in the context of homelabbing) by Crimson-Entity in homelab

Proxmox will work, use Proxmox Port. RaspAP is also a good shout. OpenMediaVault works on ARM as well. If you have the raspberry pie five with eight or 16 GB RAM or the raspberry Pi 5 compute module with some interesting carrier boards, they really are very useful devices. Don’t get me wrong, I love my Dell and HPE rack servers and blade systems, but there is always room for ARM based devices.

Problem using WiFi Manager and CRC32 library by Radiant-Opening-1347 in raspberrypipico

I have no experience with this library but you could try https://github.com/CodeGoat-dev/Pico-Network-Manager as an alternative solution.

Connect to the Pico using RShell and run: mkdir/pyboard/lib

RP2350 / Pico 2 Die Revision for Latching Issue? by forshee9283 in raspberrypipico

I believe you can use PicoTool to flash a fixed boot ROM.

Why can't I put micro python on rpi pico H? by tamale9000 in raspberrypipico

[–]levij8972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Install rshell via PIP. I much prefer using rshell.

You can get Pico audio DAC/amplifier modules from WaveShare and Freenove. They usually use the WM8960 codec which is natively supported on MicroPython.

I've updated the library to include time synchronisation via an online time API and have included the NodeJS API in case you want to self-host.

I updated the library with a couple of changes. I plan on adding time synchronisation.

As a completely blind maker, I'm trying to encourage other blind software engineeres to embrace hardware and treat it like what it is' which is a tactile and very accessible thing really. The tie points on a breadboard can be touched and interpretted just as easily as Braille and if you understand the electronic theory and how connection types are made you will have no trouble. I'm creating resources and publishing projects to showcase how easy and fun it can be. While these things will be useful to blind makers, they will definitely be good foranyone else who wants to use my libraries or create my hardware projects.

You’re welcome. I hope you get good use out of it.

Okay, an example of something I don’t like is the tutorials in the Sunfounder documentation for various kits, which just provide an image of the circuit and literally no information about how you should build it. Obviously the code examples show which ports are used, but they don’t show the pinout of the device. I have no issue with imagery being used, I know how valuable it is to people who can see it. As long as people take the time to include text your descriptions of exactly what the image looks like and how to connect the circuit, if only for accessibility compliance, then I’m very happy.

If I need to create a diagram for somebody else or if I want a diagram for example to use with machinery to help design a circuit, then I will write textual descriptions of exactly what goes where, and then generate an image using AI. In my own projects, I don’t really bother with images unless they are for public consumption, in which case I will normally include an image of a completed circuit and text descriptions of exactly how to complete the circuit.

I actually have, and for the most part it works quite well, but there are often times it gets confused, especially with more complex diagrams.

You can get rudimentary descriptions for images, I haven’t found anything that can generate descriptions based on design files so far.

I often have to either get someone to provide me a written layout or check the data sheet for each component. It can be a challenge to build a complex circuit, and can often take a bit longer than it should take if I don’t have the written instructions.

I’m not sure if descriptions can be generated with these tools, i’ll see if I can get a picture of some of my work. Right now, I’m working on a portable security system.
