Sadness. Piper voices break down on ARM64 windows. It's not instant, but if you use them then audio slowly crackles and falls apart, CPU utilization goes up and up, and eventually you crash.
@fireborn Maybe I haven't tried them for a long long time in one sitting, but they seemed? To be fine on my Mac.
@FreakyFwoof They seem to work on an M-series Mac, but not a Snapdragon pc.
@fireborn Oh the irony.
@FreakyFwoof Lots of things work this way. If you answer a UAC prompt too fast, on even the elite chips, you'll get a file system error.
@fireborn It's sad that a Mac does windows virtualised better than a dedicated machine. Actual lol.
@FreakyFwoof Better is subjective though. Performance feels much snappier on a Qualcomm chip.
@fireborn That's because of audio input lag probably.
@FreakyFwoof There's also some stuff with direct storage etc that probably helps.
@fireborn Question, have you tried WireGuard on ARM? I've installed it several times and it never shows up the system tray icon. It's like it installs but doesn't do anything beyond that. Maybe it works better on actual hardware though.
@FreakyFwoof I tried this and had the same experience as you. Thankfully my VPN app of choice can be built from GitHub to work on ARm64, so depending on what provider you use if their app is open source you might be able to do that.
@fireborn I just use plain WireGuard which connects to PiVPN.
@FreakyFwoof Yeah, in that case I think you might be SOL unless you can use an older version of the Wireguard client.
@fireborn The thing is, it says it does work on ARM. I specifically downloaded the ARM build. Will try again. One day dropbox didn't work, then one day it did. Things do change. I just need to keep trying it. Last was a few months ago.
@FreakyFwoof Yeah, it does. My VPN app also says it works on ARM, and it does, but the latest build launches and crashes, the older one does not.
@FreakyFwoof I tried the latest build just now and it's still broken.
@fireborn Buggering jugs of blubber!
@FreakyFwoof This gave me a chuckle.
@fireborn @FreakyFwoof I wonder if tailscale, based on wireguard, doesn't work on ARM then? I figured it did...
@x0 @fireborn @FreakyFwoof Tailscale is using the userland Go Wireguard implementation I think, not a kernel-space Windows driver.
Not sure what the official one does, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was the latter.
@miki @fireborn @FreakyFwoof Ah. I think it might decide whether it's userland or kernel mode based on the platform yeah. The tailscale client is open source though IIRC so someone can certainly check!
@fireborn @FreakyFwoof yeah that happened to me in a vm on the mac too. lol. it's very anoying.
