Fast or good, choose one

Mozilla's TTS is a python package installable with pip and uses cpu or gpu resources to render a choice of voices, they mostly sound natural and this is the good. https://github.com/mozilla/TTS

Mycroft's mimic3 is the default voice renderer for the Mycroft project that runs on pi hardware and sounds ok-ish, that is the fast. https://github.com/MycroftAI/mimic3

There are many others but these are the two I use according to if it needs to run on limited hardware or if the cycles fall freely from the sky.

For me as long as they are biodegradable, then that's ok. Recycling them isn't that much of issue. It's the plastic materials that are introduced to the ecology and do not biodegrade in the short term that is problematic.

“Some argue that, to achieve at best a slight incremental improvement in security, it is worth imposing a massive cost on society in the form of degraded safety,” he (U.S. attorney general William Barr) said

Benjamin Franklin once said: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

Marty sounds like a big waste of money to me. At the very least they should have made it able to sweep or vacuum up what it finds on the floor.

Personally I hate the bloat/crap-ware pre-installed on my devices. I was thinking the same thing when I read this.
