Possible, sure... But you're going to have errors in transcription that'll be read out if it's fully automated. Might as well just have ebook to TTS and save yourself some time.

IMHO it's because ISP is a much more broad term. When I connect from my University, I have to either use TLS or trust every step of the network from whatever commerical ISP they use, to the whole network infrastructure they built to th

Cloudflare isn't for web users, it's for websites. Anecdotally, I just downloaded the Tor Web browser at default settings, hit connect and went straight to my Cloudflare protected website. No problems whatsoever. Could I configure

Personally I would cut off more. "Early access to Chrome OS Flex" is the factual statement about the topic of the post and "The upgrade PCs and Macs have been waiting for" isn't
