  1. As the title asks, I am making a small programme which in which I need to generate a audio output using text to speech (preferably in a wav format). This is going to be used for a TTRPG game (creating audio for robots etc. so it's ok if it sounds robotic) What is a good text to speech add in which I can use. I have a couple requirements for this 1) This is a home project, with no budget, so it should be Free 2) It must have access to a number of different voices, more the better, I will need at least 10-20, I am happy to install custom voices packages here, as long as it's not too much of a pain 3) It should be reasonably easy to interface with, but I am willing to deal with some level of difficulty 4) Additionally, it would be ideal if I could run it locally on a laptop, encase I don't have access to the internet when running it, as I may be using this for an in person game. However, if this isn't possible I am happy to require the internet, but it must still be free. Any questions please ask.
  2. Hey, so the basic run down is two months ago I lost my bluetooth adapter for my headset, which I have had for the last 3 years. Since then I have bought two separate replacements, which have both broke within 2-3 weeks. With the fault being both time the actual 3.5 mm jack breaking, probably due to the movement and pressure in my pockets. Because of this is I am looking for a good quality bluetooth adapter, which can survive a large amount of abuse (I will probably drop it alot and stand on it too). Does any one have any suggestions (budget is up to £50) Any questions please ask Thank you in advance.
  3. Hey, its a pretty simple question, in theory. Is there an easy way to automatically back up my phone on my NAS (its running FreeNAS). Ideally this would be able to done over the internet, not LAN. Any questions just ask.
  4. Is there a free version of Hamachi to use or is it all the paid version?
  5. As the title suggests I have an old game (Settlers Heritage of Kings) which has the ability to play wiith others over LAN (Also online, but I believe the servers were shut down, so I believe the only way now is over LAN), so I was wondering how I would set it up so I can play this game with a friend. I am assuming this possible through setting up a VPN, and having them (or myself) remoting into the others network and playing there, however I am unsure on how to set up a VPN, and what VPN to use. Is there any other easier method to do this or is this the only way???
  6. The storing a bunch of things is the main purpose, maybe a couple other minor things. 1- I think I will be going intel because minor issues with the AMD (mainly with the SATA ports) 2- Yea I already own it, so it'll be easier to use that 4- My entire networking system currently is 1 Gbps, so faster at the moments not a massive help 5- I don't need those exact HDDs, however ones rated for NAS use would be preferred. I am plaining to use RAID 6 or ZFS alternative so I have a 2 drive redundancy, however I will look further into it at the time. 6- That isn't a bad idea, I was planning to SSD cache it, but I will look into that
  7. I am planning to use RAID 6 or similar so I have a 2 drives for redundancy as for the CPUs, yea I get they are overkill, but the price difference between R3 and R5, is about £20, and for the i3 I think its about £10. As for cooler, I think both come with an stock cooler, which should be good enough for my purposes. Yea, I think the intel system might be easier, cause I just noticed 2 SATA ports get disabled causing the issues there.
  8. So I am wanting to build a new NAS. It is just going to be a simple NAS, not doing too much more than that, maybe running some minor additional programmes, but nothing major. The budget is around £1000 and I'm in the UK. Side note, I have a 32GB of DDR4 from an old system, which I will use. (Yea I know its overkill for these CPUs). I have an intel build https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/wJLGcb And the AMD build https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/Dxz4nt I think from what I can see, the intel 11400F is slightly faster than the 5600G, in most applications. Although I could be wrong, as this is just from a sketchy youtube video.
  9. So I am having issues with discord and voicemeeter as there is extreme crackling on the line. Current set up is the following Mic -> U-Phoria UM2 (when listening to this audio through direct monitor, no issue) U-Phoria UM2 -> Voice meter (when listening to this audio by passing it through to my output, no issue) Voice meter -> Virtual Cable -C (this seams to be where it is occuring, although I can not see why) Virtual Cable -> Discord (I don't think any extra issues are occuring here) What can I do to help/fix this problem, I am unsure what extra information would be useful, so any questions just ask, as I am stuck.
  10. As the title says really, I want a new phone, and my budgets about £500. The main things I am intrested in are Battery Life Camera Headphone Jack (not required but would prefer it) 128 GB storage+ Any suggestions??? Thanks in advance.
  11. Corsair being reviewed Be quiet, teir B (midrange systems) Seasonic Core GC - Teir B Seasonic Focus - Teir A low priority units - minor issues or lack of info Out of those 4 the focus is the best Other Options
  12. One Solution is if you wanna have just one cable is to have a PCIE Thunderbolt Card which accepts a HDMI or Display port in you could then run this set up ot your desk and then output the video again and also pass the Thunderbolt adapter for USB needs. Also I'd recommend using wireless keyboard and mouse to make life easier in general with this solution Other solution if you can get away with just a keyboard, mouse and monitor you could get a Wireless HDMI Adapter to send it from your PC to your monitor and use wireless keyboard and Mouse, but don't expect good framerates or resolution with this
  13. Problem is although theoretically possible I would need to do that repeatably, to the degree it will not be fesable. As I said above the two materials are far to intertwined to do that, so the swaping of materials would be required, but it would happen too often to be practical
  14. Unforchantly I don't know of any places like that in scotland. yea thats fair, the design has it inherent as one will needs to be embedded in the other, its ok if they don't join as long one is inside the other. And good to know, as I said the thinness is something I can compromise on, so thats not a problem. As for modding/making my own I am open to that idea and might start looking into it, and I am open to writing my own firmware, as I am not a complete noivice on that side....... in theory we will see in practice. Yea I did have a look and saw a couple, but yea its fair to say its not the standard.
