    It's not that TH-cam doesn't want to provide subtitles for Zach's videos. It's that their AI driven supercomputers and mountains of highly spec'd servers simply can't keep up with Zach's blisteringly fast articulation and wit.

      Yep, just be sure to blank the ports off; without a hub to arbitrate, two devices into one port just will not go. Although, with the time constraints this seemed to be made under, what we saw was probably the safest solution to guarantee that the setup works.

      One year later, I think I can *almost* think of how a musical episode could work. There's a few intermediate steps that don't exist yet but sound plausible to a dumbass who dabbles in vocal synthesis, and it definitely couldn't be real-time, but I think it could be possible to make Christopher improvise insulting little ditties if we give them enough beef.

    you can also solder to the pads on the underside of the pi. Its basically the same as the micro usb cable only that you can easier use cables with a higher diameter and save the bulky micro usb port.
    Also you can solder directly to the USB port. I use silicone cable for that since its way more bendy.

    With Opensphinx you can have speech recognition without relying on the cloud (if you're paranoid like me), however if you have an unusual voice, such as my deep one, it doesn't work particularly well. Could also just be my crappy microphone.
