You can either have it display from a Google Photos photo album, and get the version of the interface which constantly displays ads to you, or you can switch the interface to "apps only" mode which will only show you one big ad on the home screen. In "apps only" mode, the thing won't display your photos, either as a screensaver or anything else.

My intuition is that in the case of audiobook narrators who adopt different voices for different characters, VALL-E would struggle to identify which character is speaking and thus produce the correct voice for a given portion of, say, text in quotation marks.

Wait - it looks like you have to use Fn-Q or Fn-` for ESC?

Any Portland residents want to comment on the state of the Portland tech scene there? The Oregonian article makes it sound slightly dire...

No big new tech company has emerged in Oregon since the 1990s, though, and the old ones are steadily vanishing. The $8 billion sale of Wilsonville-based Flir Systems, announced Monday, leaves just two publicly traded technology companies in Oregon.
