  • It wasn’t really even a ‘flaw’ or ‘exploit’. It was more a matter of 'if your chip can handle it, go for it assuming you have good cooling and know what you’re doing.

    Everything was more or less running at a “safe” speed so that the largest number of chips would be stable at, though it was known to pretty much everone that you could easily overclock for a little more performance.

    I mean, there were boards built specifically to overclock, but they were more spendy. Sometimes you could get a cheaper board to overclock with a trick.

    It wasn’t until overclocking became widespread enough that chipmakers would try to limit it to sell some chips as higher speed and premium pricing. That’s when it started getting locked down.

    Was a sweet time when you could buy a budget chip that was identical silicon to the faster chips and just tune it to get the same, if not better, performance for cheap.







  • I’ve tried one that works surprisingly well. Each sentence had great pacing, cadence, and correct enunciation- even had tone right when someone was shouting or angry or sad.

    I wouldn’t really recommend it, though. While I couldn’t pick any single thing out that was wrong, overall it just didn’t quite flow. It’s like watching someone try to act that is technically doing everything right, but it just isn’t good. It basically didn’t understand the greater context of the story and was saying lines.

    It was uncanny valley, but exclusively with voice.
