I'd say this is Harper Leigh Hollywood, based on this image:

Wait, there is an audio book version of this?

I'm really glad that it works, and please don't take this the wrong way... but the solder joints look awful.

The only reason I'm saying this is because I suspect that after repeated use, they might fail and you will have to redo them. Maybe redo them now?

May I ask what your soldering technique is? Did you by any chance try to apply the solder to the iron and then struggle to apply that to the pins? This is a common misconception among beginners, hence me asking - you're supposed to heat the pins with the iron and then apply solder to the heated pins, where it will flow into place. Also, applying flux beforehand will help with that.

If we're talking about profanity, I think I'd go for either

Das geht mir am Arsch vorbei.

Das interessiert mich einen (scheiss) Dreck.

So that you can get a version that you don't have to host yourself? Needs differ, and businesses exist, you know.

Also:

This has existed long before the AI hype. Dialog systems were around in the 80s, operating off of tapes. The concept itself is even older.

I ran an Asterisk server with speech recognition 20 years ago. Sure, TTS didn't nearly have the recognition rates it has today, but it was enough to figure out the caller's intent from the email message that was delivered after the fact.

I still run a very similar setup today, except I no longer self host and pretty much ever component has improved. Honestly, its a godsend to be able to deal with people or businesses that still rely on phone conversations, something I will never tolerate. I simply don't do phone calls.

Would you do this mainly because you want to figure out if you can, or mostly due to the 40€ price difference?

The latest Raspberry Pi cameras have decent sensors, variants with night vision are available. Axis makes reliable, network attached cameras.

Open-source software like Frigate or ZoneMinder exists.

Still, would you really want that? A half-baked device in your network, a device you suspect would constantly betray you, if given the chance?

I personally can't imagine getting used to that. I'd despise the device (and myself probably).

Also, let's not forget gamebooks.

It's canon that he can alter the speed at which information is processed / how he perceives the flow of time / events.

Where are those shots?

Nah really, I'd like to see some examples of said aesthetic to figure out if I can see it. If you don't want to post your own, store bough examples are fine, too.
