Love Kokoro tts. I wrote https://github.com/Jud/kokoro-coreml to try pushing the limits a bit on speed & size. Such great quality at a given size. As others have mentioned short utterances are problematic, but solvable.

I always associate downtime like this with a new model rollout. Maybe we are getting Fable back.

Maybe it’s more apparent in the opposite case. Customers who say the item is totally fine, but have shipped back a box of rocks.

This is almost exactly how it _does_ work in big box grocery except there are blanket policies re: disposal for food items. Fwiw, Amazon also has near identical policies for food items.

The realities of a warehouse operation make this inevitable (I’ve run an 8-figure/yr online distributor). Amazon cannot take the customer’s word on return condition. Folks just click “damaged” to get a refund and Amazon has to have warehouse workers, not professional book inspectors, receive the returns and note their condition.

This is good enough since someone buying the used copy can also return it if they disagree.

Similarly as a kid, I was surprised to learn "One-hour Photo" was a brand and didn't necessarily mean your photos would be ready in one hour...

I see all her other devices, but not keys. Now that I know how it should work, going to see if re-registering the keys changes things.

Interesting. Just one data point, but my wife and I both have airtags on our keys. When I drive her car (and she's not in it), I get a notification about her keys traveling with me. We're on the same iCloud "family" account. I wonder if there’s something else that needs to happen?

Feel free to reach out (email in profile) if you want to chat. I grew an e-commerce distributor to 8-digit revenue with in-house fulfillment and software development.

Edit to add: It can be such an isolating experience. We had no clue what we were doing half the time. Hard to find anyone willing to talk that had been through it.
