A text-to-speech engine and speech synthesizer developed in 1984 by Digital Equipment Corporation. The first unit to use DECtalk technology was the DTC-01, which had both a serial port, and phone jacks, allowing for telephony capabilities. In the final days of DEC, the DECtalk IP was sold to Force Computers, Inc. in 2000, and then sold to Fonix Corporation (now SpeechFX, Inc.) in late 2001. DECtalk was made famous by its inclusion in the 2010 space simulation game, Moonbase Alpha

Utility beer 

Utility beer is the beer you keep around for the day-to-day moments when beer is a necessity to assist in pedestrian activities (golf, plumbing, yardwork, babysitting, staff meetings, Zoom calls). For the beer snob it is the beer you save for neighbors when they drop in at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday. It is differentiated from the actual high-end beer you save for special events, holidays, and special tastings.
Person 1: Dave, did you bring along those hazy craft IPA's so we could drink while cleaning Lyle's pool?
Person 2: Nope. I just have a bunch of utility beer that Steve dumped on me. Good enough for this. It is only 10:30 a.m.
