  • The buds don’t need a jack. Just the lead that connects to the phone or whatever. That takes no real space.

  • So… I was more referring to a 3.5mm jack on the phone.

    Commute time is a little over 2hours each way. Office use is 6-8 hours. Listening + calls and needing a microphone.

    Would rather not to have to do the dance for multiple devices and chargers vs just one and a single usb input.

    Some of the bushes busses and trains have a usb but you have to get lucky and then decide what needs charging more…the phone or the buds.

    Give me a wired option any day. Also used less battery power and sounds better.

    edit... typo

  • Wired 3.5mm jack.

    Hear me out. I don’t use Bluetooth headphones. They don’t last the commute and work day.

    With a jack you can listen and charge you phone at the same time and never worry about charging your headphones/iem.

    If I need to use Bluetooth for connection I still can but overall better battery life

  • Thirded. It just works. Even deployed to elderly relatives with wifi printers with no issues.

  • Milk adds a fair bit of sweetness and hides a lot of sins in the coffee process.

    If it’s been slightly burned or the machine/grinder aren’t really clean then milk will cover that. Black…it’s all out there.

    If you can ask them for 3 or 4 seconds of hot water from the group and then float the espresso shot on top and stir. Makes for a great cafe option.

    You don’t want water from the steam wand/hot water spout as it’s from a different boiler and will be much hotter. Normally around 130degress celcius vs around 90 for the espresso.

  • Water? Maybe shift to a “long black” style.

  • Definitely needs some more testing as those numbers in the table look low to me. Archiving vs listening is a key point and storage is relatively cheap.

    Listening on cheap Bluetooth headphones then you can get away with a low bitrate. If you are using better gear and/or music that has a lot of dynamic range and comes from strings (piano/classical/etc) then I would recommend 320 but your mileage may vary.

    Listen, compare and decide. I have a library of about 110k tracks (musicbrainz-Picard is amazing) and I wish I had:

    1. Focussed more on encoding albums rather than just songs and
    2. Had 320 or flac
  • Well done. It’s a Lenovo issue. Had to do the same thing recently for a friends laptop and did the same dance.

    I have some IT background so kind of knew what to look for but it still was a pita.

  • Used to use CoronaSDK a lot. There are still a million tutorials online and YouTube if people are interested.

    Basically limited to your imagination

  • I thought you wrote “null” for a second. Extremely fast backup target.

  • Depends on the boot.

    The more expensive ones come with multiple air bladders and you inflate one the boot is strapped on. You can adjust where and how tight.

  • Fuck Ubisoft.

    Jump
  • Steam or GoG

    Anything else is too much pain.

  • Any 10mm can lose itself already- we don’t technology for that.

  • I do. Every day. Decent headphones that block a lot of outside noise but don’t need a battery.

    Constantly thankful that I don’t have to find a Bluetooth setup.

    Contentious part is that I listen to high quality (generally lossless) ripped music. Bluetooth and some adapters do weird things with compression and you can really hear it.

  • Did you swap Word for Libre Office?

  • Consistent dosing will come once you have 3 shots in a row without adjustment grind.

    Ideally start by weighing your dose. I would aim for 17g in the double basket and then 25-30 seconds shot time (depending on your recipe).

    Once that is locked in you can tweak grind time to get repeatability

  • A lot will come down to supply and where you are located (country).

    ECM and Profitec come from the same company and are built to a very high standard (German build from original Italian heritage).

    It’s pretty easy to get parts and information online.

    If you have the money and a decent grinder you can’t go wrong with them.
