No voice? Text to Speech + Audio Hijack + Loopback For the Win!
I’m not sure you noticed on last week’s show, but the audio was just a little bit “different”. I started losing my voice on Friday and by Sunday I could barely squeak out a sentence. I get laryngitis periodically, ever since I was a little girl. Not sure why it happens, seems to be more […]

I lost my voice this week so I asked the Text-to-Speech voice named, coincidentally, Allison to step in for me and MC the show.

Over the last 9 years or so, Bart Busschots has been teaching you and me to be geekier and more technical through his session in Chit Chat Across the Pond. First, it was random bits of knowledge but in the last few years he’s gotten much more structured about it, bringing us Taming the Terminal […]

Last week I told the story of my work with Apple to diagnose a misbehaving 2.4GHz wireless network.

The new hip thing today is these Internet of Things devices, right? Steve and I have been dipping our toes in with the Ring video doorbell, the Chimes that go with it, the Hue Lights that automatically change in time with The Expanse series on SyFy, the Nest Protect smoke alarm that’ll tell us if […]

I’m one of the luckiest people around to have the NosillaCastaways as my friends and supporters. One way many of you have shown your support is by using my Amazon Affiliate link to buy your gadgets and sundries and such. A lot of you live outside of the US and have been asking me for a […]

So now that I’ve got my shiny new Samsung T3 USB3 external SSD, let’s see if I can figure out how to use this for my real Photos library.
