Re: I have my very own TTS voice available to purchase.
Re: I have my very own TTS voice available to purchase. @22You wouldn't be the first caught by a EULA, people hardly ever read them, even if they really should. I wouldn't necessarily say that this is a question of being "illegal" perse, but it could end up getting you a cease and desist or a lawsuit. If your worried about liability, i'd suggest editing your original post here to get rid of the offer/links, getting rid of your wiki post about it, and giving refunds to those who purchased it to show good faith. You could ask people to delete the data you gave them, but whether they actually do or not is out of your hands.

Re: planning to migrate to US, do you guys think it's possible? Well, it kind of depends on what kind of music your studying I suppose.

There's also some game industry articles around as well, such as those by [Winifred Phillips] that may be useful.

Re: I have my very own TTS voice available to purchase.
Re: I have my very own TTS voice available to purchase. A more straightforward way of distributing software would be on an accessible store platform like itch.io, accounts are free and you can choose the revenue share to give to itch.io for their services, if any. You can also sell products as free, pay what you want with or without minimums, or a set fee. They even offer forums and user reviews of your products, if you want. Also, you can embed a widget that links to your itch store page on your website too, if you like. It would probably simplify your distribution considerably.

Re: planning to migrate to US, do you guys think it's possible?
Re: planning to migrate to US, do you guys think it's possible? Its a tricky thing, if you can't sustain yourself where you are to finish university, then the decision to stay is moot. Affording it elsewhere without a suitable income however also makes things difficult, although you could try both studying and working part time. It may also be more advantageous for you to go with other family members so you could help support each other, affordable housing and jobs are can be difficult these days. Hmm... another potential resource to tap into for university though could be to try to apply for local bursaries or scholarships to help cover the costs, though it depends on whether your eligible or not.

Re: planning to migrate to US, do you guys think it's possible?
Re: planning to migrate to US, do you guys think it's possible? @5Its hard to say. Going to university typically costs money, so starting over is essentially jettisoning what you've already invested, as a result there are a few things to consider. Can you transfer the credits you have already to whatever university you'd be attending in your target nation, or otherwise act as an exchange student? Is the value of your full degree or the knowledge gained from it such that it could help you get work in your target nation? Would starting from scratch otherwise provide opportunities you otherwise wouldn't have, IE: the potential to get an H1B for a Green Card in the US. Keep in mind that if you complete your studies now, you can always go back to university to study something else, either starting from scratch or potentially transferring existing credits from your previous degree.The opportunities your mother have also seem promising, but being offered a job and having one are two different things, not to mention a living wage. In Sweden the requirements to qualify for citizenship are 5 years, but it seems if you live with a Swedish citizen for two years you can cut that down to 3 years instead of 5. Both Canada and Sweden have national healthcare and childcare services, so there are certainly benefits to both. There's some data for Canada [here] and [here], and Sweden [here] and [here]. Something to consider about Sweden though is that it might be more difficult if your not an EU citizen already, and immigration is getting to be a hot topic in both countries.

Re: planning to migrate to US, do you guys think it's possible?
Re: planning to migrate to US, do you guys think it's possible? Hmm... [Digging around] it would seem that gaining permanent residency in Spain can be done in a few specific ways, though that you have family there who could potentially give you a place to stay could be useful.For citizenship and permanent residency, you need to live there for at least 5 years. A student Visa apparently counts for half that, so 10 years, though you could also maybe transition it towards a work permit. If you have private health insurance and a sum of savings, you could also get a Non Lucrative Visa as well. The local [Spanish National Organization for the Blind] might be able to help with education and employment opportunities, since it seems a work visa is one of the more straight forward ways to get temporary residence long enough to qualify for permanent residence. You may want to talk to the various blind support organizations first though, make some inquiries with them.I'm not sure as to the complete process for immigrating to the US, though it may be possible utilizing an F-1 student visa. Mentioned [here] it seems that some entities are authorized to issue H1B visa's for foreign students who have specialized knowledge in certain fields. With the H1B, you could then have the chance to apply for a Green Card and US citizenship. There are also various fee's associated with some of that, there's some stuff [here] that might help.

You can read up on it [here], [here], and [here]. But again, and I can't stress this enough, getting vaccinated is about risk management. Its your decision whether or not you feel the risks and benefits of getting the vaccine given the circumstances is worth it at this time, and that it is your choice. I've posted data on how the different vaccines work in a different thread, it may help to read up on it when making an educated case. Links are [here], [here], and [here].

Re: Pfizer or Oxford?
Re: Pfizer or Oxford? @25In a human cell, the Nucleus which contains your DNA exports instructions as mRNA to the cytoplasm to be "read" by ribosomes, the translation mechanism of cells, which then make proteins. The read instructions of the mRNA is then eliminated by various cellular processes. The spike proteins on the surface of the cell may well last for its lifetime, or until it links up with a T-cell. Any changes made by mRNA aren't passed on because they don't effect DNA. Again, this is the same way RNA viruses and the immune system naturally operate, but your right that as with anything there can be unforeseen complications, auto-immune misinterpretations, microbiome effects, psychosomatic responses, etc. Biology is very complex and diverse, and such things can be a factor of any infection. But again, this is about risk mitigation, the vaccine is no different than the virus, so it boils down to how likely are you or others are to getting said virus and how bad it would be if you did, vs the risk of a potential complication from the vaccine.In many respects I can see the wisdom in not picking one over the other until people are more comfortable with it, but given the state of the world and how contagious COVID is, whatever a persons preference it would probably be a good idea to get vaccinated with something.

Re: Pfizer or Oxford?
Re: Pfizer or Oxford? Vaccines have always been about risk management. Rare side effects/circumstances vs effectiveness of vaccine and severity of risk due to infection. If there was a risk of polio or small pox, the threat a vaccine may pose pales in comparison, for example.As for vaccine types, the [AstraZeneca] vaccine essentially does the same thing the Pfizer vaccine does. It encodes the COVID spike protein that it uses to infect cells as DNA, and loads the payload into a chimpanzee adenovirus. That virus then enters your cells to instruct your cells to build the Spike protein to build antibodies.The [Pfizer] vaccine actually slips in an mRNA data packet into your cells, like the [virus itself], but only for instructions for the virus's spike protein it uses to attack. The cells then manufacture the spike protein, sans viral payload to get a heads up on the attack vector it uses and builds an antibody defense. To understand that process a little better you can read [this], or [this].The huge advantage with mRNA is that they seem to be more effective at being taken up and building antibodies, and are easier to manufacture, so you can make vaccines and booster shots and such very quickly that are very effective.

Re: problem computer does not read vga cable
Re: problem computer does not read vga cable The problem may likely be the monitor settings, depending on what kind of monitor it is.

Re: Looking for a printer. Any suggestions?
Re: Looking for a printer. Any suggestions? Cartridges can have embedded ID's that the printer firmware can check against. One of them I know of is that they can check and block expired ink cartridges from working, or reject third party cartridges that don't have a valid ID, another is region locked cartridges, yes region locked. So an ink cartridge sold in the UK won't work in Poland for example.For the most part though, if you buy the suppliers cartridges for your specific region or from local retailers, you'd be fine.

Re: thinking of starting boxing Hm, there are a few articles about blind boxers about so it can definitely be done, such as [here], [here], [here], and [here]. There seem to be a few techniques they use, such as listening for the scuffling of footsteps, feeling vibrations, positioning, etc. Keeping your guard up and using proprioception for contacts to gauge and "lock" on to the position of your target for a more powered strike, or testing where a person may be with small jabs before committing, etc.@2Hitting below the belt in boxing is against the rules.

Re: are their any manga readers for the blind?
Re: are their any manga readers for the blind? Software, no. Comics, and by extension Manga, are very graphically oriented, text is also often integrated into the artwork in various ways which can make automated translation difficult. Having said that however, there may be a few ways you could still do it.One would be to use a service like Be My Eye's to have someone describe it, another would be to try hunting down [Scripts]. As mentioned in the article:... I realized that the creators of comic books have to follow an outline of some sort so that the artist, who works with the author, knew what to draw.These Comic Scripts often consist of pure text and offer complete descriptions, panels, colors, and dialog for the artists to work with. The links to the comic archive in the article don't really work, but I did dig up another comic book archive [here] that contains PDF's of various comic artists works that offer full descriptions. A few examples would include [Batman: Rules of Engagement #1], [Youngblood #2], and [Challenger Deep #1], among others. Its scattered but there are a few series in there.

AccessiBe ADA Overlay Webservice
AccessiBe ADA Overlay Webservice As reported by [techrunch]:It would seem a few companies have been pushing the grounds on web accessibility. One such company, AccessiBe, uses machine learning to put an overlay on top of an existing website to match and provide accessibility to a given website to help fill in its proverbial cracks. Examples of this can be found on sites like [Everlast], [Tupperware], and [Playmobil]. While not perfect it does seem to provide a potentially easier way for people to get accessibility up and running, or address previously inaccessible webdesign, however AccessiBe is also working on a user-centric version that could help in web navigation for users without having to rely on websites to comply or go with their service.

Re: making tea properly? Hm, you'd think no one had ever heard of a tea pot before... There are a few ways, using either a tea ball or bag, you usually boil water in a kettle and pour it into a cup, or tea pot, and let steep for about 5 minutes give or take. Another way could be to put your tea mixture into a french press and then add hot water, let sit and press it out.Most of the time we pour the hot tea into a cup then put in additives like milk/sugar/etc, since multiple people may want tea and have different preferences to how they take it, basically coffee pot rules.

Re: SpaceX SN9 Starship 12.5km Flight: January 25th to 27th Its been a journey, what with SN9 tipping over in the high bay and requiring a few flaps to be swapped. Additional hot fire testing has been rather rigorous in order to get ignition more reliable. Finally however it seems that SN9 may fly within the next few days, as an FTS, or Flight Termination System has been installed, essentially a brick of C4, in case they need to abort the flight to avoid collateral damage. As always, schedules may slip, but hopefully we can see another grain silo flop through the air.

There's a comment on the video from someone whos done it years ago, offered some tips on refining the yield and quality, so maybe not widely known? Most commercial methods for gem synthesis may use different approaches for higher yield and quality, but that may depend on refining his process. Using microwaves for creating Plasma, with grapes actually, is also a common science experiment. Its often how plasmas can be created, and is actually a major component of how the VASIMR Plasma Rocket works, generating plasma using microwaves and containing it in an electromagnetic field for ejection out the nozzle.

Making Rubies In A Microwave Oven
Making Rubies In A Microwave Oven Fairly recently a fellow asked the eternal question: Can I make synthetic rubies in my microwave? This was prompted by him coming across a microwave Kiln for making melted glass at home. Synthetic rubies are primarily made of Aluminum Oxide, with the contaminant determining its color, this so called "seed material" is then heated and produces the crystalline gem.Now the kiln didn't work out and couldn't get hot enough, so he turned to something a bit more... creative. I'm sure many of you are familiar with the idea of not sticking metal in a microwave, or bad things happen, but you may not be totally familiar with why or how. The reason actually has to do with Plasma Physics, yes Plasma Physics. The microwave energy interacts with metal and generates a super heated plasma gas which can be several thousand degrees, hot enough to quickly melt your microwave or cause serious injury. You can actually watch a bit about it [here].So, how does this help make rubies? Well the guy decided to try and harness this super heated plasma to get the seed material hot enough to make rubies, and make he did. To do this he placed a small amount of the material in a glass candle holder with a little bit of aluminum wool stuck in it and capped it all with a ceramic lid to contain the plasma. 10-15 seconds later, rubies.Needless to say you probably shouldn't try this at home, and definitely not with a microwave you cook food in, given there can be some unknown volatile byproducts. But its kind of cool that you can quick serve gemstones with this kind of chemistry hack. You can watch the full video of the process [here].

Re: Star wars rebels audio described?
Re: Star wars rebels audio described? Disney+ is probably your best bet. Lets see, according to [this] there's described audio for:Star Wars: The Clone Wars (animated movie)Star Wars: The Clone Wars (Season 7)Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom MenaceStar Wars Episode II: Attack of the ClonesStar Wars Episode III: Revenge of the SithStar Wars Episode IV: A New HopeStar Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes BackStar Wars Episode VI: Return of the JediStar Wars Episode VII: The Force AwakensStar Wars Episode VIII: The Last JediStar Wars Episode IX: The Rise of SkywalkerThis may not be a comprehensive list however being updated last June. While Rebels does appear to be available on Disney+, it doesn't appear to offer described video, same with Clone Wars other than Season 7. There also seems to be another comprehensive list [here].

Makers Making Change
Makers Making Change One of the questions that may cross peoples minds is a way to buy or otherwise acquire ready made Open Source hardware, as otherwise such projects are usually a strictly DIY affair. Well, digging through a few places I came across the [Neil Squire Foundation], a Canadian group that runs various charitable programs for helping those with disabilities. One of these programs is [Makers Making Change] which, you guessed it, involves local volunteer makers who can try to fulfill requests to build accessible or open source technology, at cost, upon request.Now, this is interesting because i've mentioned [this] little open source braille display that costs 104.14€ in materials. Now, some of the patent elements may be for educational purposes only, i'm not a lawyer, and the project would need to be submitted for review, but it could be a potential opportunity for those with an interest...

Re: Rocket Lab Electron Launch: December 15th
Re: Rocket Lab Electron Launch: December 15th [Rocket Lab] is scheduled to launch the StriX-α satellite for the japanese company Synspective on an Electron dubbed "Owl's Night Begins", in honor of the fact that Strix is also the genus of owls, and that the Satellite is designed to be part of a constellation of 30 satellites to map the earths surface. While there is some interest in their current rocket recovery efforts, its believed that analysis and implementation of the data they collected from "Return To Sender" for such efforts may be applied to rockets the following year, making this launch disposable.You can watch the livestream [here], which begins in 21 hours as of this post.

Re: I need a png file
Re: I need a png file Hm, why specifically PNG? Are there also any other requirements such as dimensions or colors? BrushTone can also generate or convert other image formats to PNG files, but for royalty free dragon images you an checkout [here], there's a particular black and white image of a dragon [here].

Re: SpaceX SN8 Starship 12.5km Flight Complete
Re: SpaceX SN8 Starship 12.5km Flight Complete After a few false starts, SpaceX successfully completed their flight test. As SN8 gained altitude there appeared to be a few engine cut offs and insulation fires, then it gracefully skydived towards the surface as expected. Then just as predicted it amazingly corrected itself, reignited two if its raptor engines and... completely exploded on touch down appearing to come in a bit too fast, vaporizing into degris strewn across the field.You can watch the replay [here], the launch starts at 1:47:30.

Re: SpaceX SN8 Starship 12.5km Flight: December 8th
Re: SpaceX SN8 Starship 12.5km Flight: December 8th As reported by [teslarati]:SpaceX it seems has gotten some support from NASA for WB-57 jets to provide aerial coverage, which are scheduled to be in the area at 3:10pm EST. Flaps have been actuated, and the launch attempt is pushed to 3:30pm, or half an hour from now, with the window being between 8am to 5pm.The official livestream is pending [here] with additional test prep. The Labpadre livestream is currently monitoring SN8 status [here].

Re: SpaceX SN8 Starship 12.5km Flight: December 6th
Re: SpaceX SN8 Starship 12.5km Flight: December 6th News of Starship SN8's launch has been simmering of late with what appears to be negotiations with the FAA and environmental reassessments for the flight. Currently a TFR, or Temporary Flight Restriction has been granted for December 6th between 12pm to 6pm, with backup dates for the 7th between 8am to 5:30pm, and 8th between 8am to 5pm. The total height of the test flight has also been lowered a bit to 12.5km.

Re: SpaceX CRS-21 launch: December 5th
Re: SpaceX CRS-21 launch: December 5th SpaceX is set to launch a newly upgraded Dragon 2 resupply to the ISS today from Kennedy Space Center at 11:39am EST, with a backup window on the 6th. The resupply Dragon will then autonomously dock so that two Dragon capsules will be docked simultaneously with the station. This upgraded vehicle has 20% more cargo capacity, double the powered locker cargo capacity, can stay in orbit twice as long, and is designed to be reused for up to 5 launches to and from the station. This particular booster also flew the first Crew Demo-2 flight, the ANASIS-II mission, and a Starlink mission.You can watch the livestream [here], which starts in 7 hours as of this post.

Ravn X: Autonomous Orbital Launch Drone
Ravn X: Autonomous Orbital Launch Drone As reported by [arstechnica]:Launching rockets from planes has been an idea thats been floated before, such as with Scaled Composites [SpaceShipTwo] and White Knight aircraft, Northrop Grumman's Pegasus booster, or Virgin Orbit's LauncherOne vehicle. Now however we have a stealthy new entrant, Aevum with their new Ravn X autonomous drone aircraft. With an estimated payload capacity of 25,000kg for small satelites, the big selling point of the drone aircraft is the ability to launch from just about anywhere there's a runway, and through almost any weather conditions to deliver payloads into low earth orbit, something current launch providers have some difficulty doing.Naturally, this has peaked the interest of military contractors and other parties in terms of its response capabilities, and it would be pretty interesting to see how this drone manages to launch its payloads without the mass or issues that involve physical pilots. You can watch their official launch vehicle video announcement [here].
