Comment Consumer Wifi (Score 1) 32

I recently changed ISPs and they provided me with a TP-Link router. It's actually pretty nice, good range and reliable, although it's infuriating that management capabilities all have to be done a phone app... that you have to create a cloud account for. There is a web interface but it's very basic. I think I'm going to have to buy a replacement but the landscape seems bleak. TP-Link fills the top lists, and I don't want a "mesh pod," thank you very much...

Text-to-speech is improving, but really... I guess they think if they do it enough people will just accept it. Weird AI dubbing with incongruous and inconsistent intonation, occasional bad pronunciation, but it costs almost nothing? Sure, why not.

I know a guy who actually listens to entire computer-narrated books on Google Books, and no he's not blind. So I guess people can actually learn to listen to stuff like that...

A microSD card and headphone jack? Hey wouldn't that be something... But it seems like consumers actually enjoy having useful features removed. I's a sort of flex. I think they'd actually want a smaller battery and maybe some hooked barbs on the sides, so that it draws blood whenever you take it out of your pocket. They should put that on the roadmap.
