Duo does that with Spanish every so often, but it’s always going backwards

With their English course I pretty regularly get ticked off about how their AI text-to-speech voices pronounce things with weird intonation/emphasis that no native speaker would ever use. Seems like kind of you know, an important thing to get right for people trying to learn a language.

His Divine Shadow posted:What a gear shift should look like, also ignition key in correct position. You can't get these anymore because everything has gotten shittier for no reason. The dial is the next best thing--if you're gonna let the computer drive the car, might as well make the controls unobtrusive.

Watching March Madness is pure awful this year. Paramount+ advertised NCAA March madness streaming this year. Perfect. Less than 15 bucks/month to see the games. However- this only includes CBS. To see the other three channels you need MAX. Not only MAX, but the B/R sports add on! Fortunately, the B/R add on is included this month- but coming soon it will be another 10 dollars/month.

Doesnt the streaming services like YoutubeTV and Hulu TV etc have it all? I know last year they YoutubeTV had a 4 game split screen option going. You select which games you want to watch in each part.

Complaining about Adobe products is like complaining that garbage stinks, but here goes anyway: Acrobat Pro has gone from just bad to completely broken. Constant hangs and crashes. Unless it gets fixed, I'm not sure how we can continue using it.

I thought I'd pick up House of Leaves to read on an upcoming vacation, and Amazon continues to be shittier. You get a tin sign with a stolen picture of the book when you search for it. "Sponsored", too, so Amazon is doing an extra bang up job. Then there's thebl product description which I saw because I was trying to make sure I had the right edition:  None of that makes sense to the point that I don't know if it's part of some metanarrative or if an AI went rogue after trying to make a description of House of Leaves.

A colleague left me a voicemail on Teams this week (I'm on holiday). I didn't know Teams had voicemail. I only know about this because I saw a preview of the transcript on my watch (which has now vanished). When I go into the Teams app, it's got a lovely page that's like "this is where your voicemails will be when you get some  "

Random Stranger posted:I thought I'd pick up House of Leaves to read on an upcoming vacation, and Amazon continues to be shittier. That product description is definitely from the book, at least from the edition I bought in, oh, 2009 or so. I gotta tip my hat to the scammer, that's a drat good grift. It almost makes me want to buy a metal sign of a three-quarters picture of a book cover.

petty boug, but a localish chain cafe is now charging for the bread roll that used to come free with a salad. Sure it’s 5kr but like, it was free maybe a month ago? On my break I intend to go thrifting and I know there will be people younger than me and oh god please leave. You all look like babies. I want to buy my second hand miniskirts in peace (it’s me I’m the one that got lovely).

Also not everything needs to be on goddamn speakerphone but that’s a multigenerational irritant.
