  • non-voice actors were paid

    I feel like being paid for it would kinda make them a VA, but sure.

    And if the quality of AI voice were that bad, it would be worthless anyway and noone would create/use packages for it.

    The "speech" as in a separate message, which likely came after she stopped being speechless.

  • I wouldnt pay extra for an AI version of an actor I liked.

    If course. It is about paying less after all.The actor decided to get some passive income by licensing their TTS and someone used it as they wanted. That's all there is to it.

    Apart from maybe, being able to get the AI to create different accented versions of a VA (which, said VA doesn't do otherwise), the AI voice will mostly be of a lower grade than a good VA. Which is what makes it unfit for foreground roles, which the user will be actively listening to.You definitely don't want cutscenes to be filled with half-assed rubbish, which might be otherwise, fine for background chatter, where it is just filling the silence. And in cases where the background chatter is a part of the experience and the devs care about it, they will be getting active VAs like they currently do. There are more perfectionists in artistic fields than one would expect.

  • I feel like we can do the same in other places too.It just doesn't make much sense for me to buy one of those, considering I don't expect to be using a copper endpoint anywhere else I go.I probably will get my own Fiber modem when viable (as in, I get a provider that doesn't force their own modem on me).

    The major Fibre player here, requires use of their modem, of which, even the WiFi password can only be changed using their Android app. Said app connects to the internet and most probably tells their systems the new password to change to (which would of course, be in plain text), which then remotely changes the WiFi password.Most probably, other major ones do the same.

    There are some smaller players (probably Tier2/3 ISPs), which would let us have our own modems after enough effort, so I'd probably go with one of those.

  • The malware argument is a bit weak

    It's much more than just a bit weak, unless you are somehow continuously monitoring it, so yeah, in most end-user scenarios, it would hardly make a difference to keep it on, even if there were no updates.

  • Not illegal, but the ISPs are seemingly under no obligation to give you those details. In Germany, there’s the “freedom of routers” embedded in the telco law. So they HAVE to give you everything you need to get your custom router online via their wire/fibre.

    OIC, so, same as here. Germany seems to be having pretty well made laws in these cases.

    Bridge mode is just using the ISPs router and bridge that into your router. It’s not the same - you still need the ISP’s access device instead of just yours.

    Except that it is a layer 2 bridge and I couldn't connect to the network directly, either way, because their line is copper ^[

    ] and consumer routers/modems are usually RJ45/RJ11.

  • you’re not supposed to get this kind of information from your ISP

    Wait, do you mean, it's illegal to ask for it?In my case, it just depends upon the ISP's policy.

    In fact, with the current ISP, even though they provide their on modem (copper line), it has a pure bridge mode available, which I can connect to my other router and have fun looking at those packets with full transparency and the tech even went ahead and explained to me what I messed up, before resetting the modem for me, when I did use the bridge mode.

  • Read the title and went: What? They want you to keep your network hardware ON, when unattended, to increase the undetected malware entry opportunities?

    Turns out it as their own devices they wanted to push updates to.

    I would really prefer to use my own device though and even better, configure it myself after learning how the ISP's network works. But convenience is what it is.

  • So the last 'I' suggests that your writing should be possible to improve later.Despite being the 'B' Best Effort and properly 'I' Investigated.

    Seems like, after putting your best effort into making it, you need to put in extra effort to make it such that it is imperfect, so as to leave room for improvements.
