I've successfully used Anyconnect for years in a dedicated Windows VM. However I only used it to connect to a Remote Desktop so performance was a non-issue.
A blade grinder will break your beans in random sizes. You will have big chunks with almost zero extraction (basically wasted) up to super fine powder that will get grossly over extracted (bitterness to the max), and everything in between.
A good burr grinder helps keeping everything "in the middle", so you can get a much more controlled extraction.
I don't know about this 50$ Costco grinder but if it's electric, it will be shit. You won't find any decent grinder, even straight from China like a DF64 for less than 350.
Your best bet for constrained budgets is a good mid-range manual grinder from 1zpresso. It will be night and day compared to your blade grinder.
Honestly, you won't find any electric espresso machine at that 100$ price point that's capable of producing decent espresso, and they're usually a pain to use. They are plastic, disposable and cobbled together with the absolute cheapest parts as possible. Heating is bad, pressure is all over the place and build quality is inexistant.
Your best bet at that price point for real espresso would probably be a (used) Flair or Cafelat Robot. Of course these come with their own workflow and caveats and they are hard to master, but short of spending at least 5 times your budget on a well maintained, second-hand mid-range Gaggia or Lelit or equivalent, you won't find anything remotely as capable at producing real espresso.
Thanks for the lead! That might be it, I saw a big blob of goop leaking from it the first time I heated it. I'll rebuild the hotend when I have time. There an extra nozzle in the kit.
Edit:
Here is a comparison between an old benchy done with my Ender-3 and three with the SV-08. The surface finish with the Ender 3 is much more consistent and the PETG is a lot shinier. Maybe speed is a factor too. Shoud I try and slow the SV08 down a notch?
Weirdly enough, I printed at 235 thinking the nozzle was too hot and it was worse. At 245 more issues seem to disappear except less than ideal overhangs.
Sure you're absolutely free to do as you please ;)
From personal experience tho, anything connected to the TV should Just WorkTM. Nothing more frustrating than just wanting to watch an episode or play a quick game before going to bed and having to spend this time doing updates and maintenance instead.
As this is for a HTPC, I would rather go for uBlue Bazzite instead of Nobara. Same Fedora base, super gaming oriented too, but atomic/immutable so 0 maintenance.
Plus, uBlue projects are not distros but an alternative build pipeline system for Fedora Atomic projects. That means that the projects scope is tiny and much easier to maintain, and that the real distro maintainers are still the Fedora team. From a user perspective, it's much better in the long term than a single-person effort like Nobara.
Installing Fedora. I had almost nothing to configure, it worked out of the box. How frustrating! I had the whole day planned and now what? Enjoy my free time like a pleb !?!
I've watched videos and ordered the right type of connector. It doesn't seem so hard with flood soldering techniques.
Fortunately the break is clean and happened on the connector's legs, so the traces are unharmed. I think the hardest part will be to remove the remnants left on the traces.
My work keyboard has a cheap magnetic cable so I can easily plug and unplug it (I'm not leaving a custom mech unsupervised a work!). It indeed takes most of these strain.
Substituted a knife for the spoon and caulk for peanut butter. Awful taste, horrible recipe. Do not recommend. Would put zero stars but it won't let me.
Our wedding was under 5k, excluding dress and suit. Immediate family and close friends only, less than 40 people. Major expenses were the photographer, food and booze. We rented a cheap, small place in the countryside, we planned and did everything else ourselves, having a kanban board in the kitchen for a year was fun! My wife even did the cakes herself because she's an amazing amateur pastry chef. No DJ, but I spent months on and off curating a playlist with a good flow and steadily increasing intensity.
It was the perfect wedding. Huge amount of work but 100% worth it.
Can you simply ask them to walk through their submission line by line with you, explaining what it's doing?
This. Code reviews, especially with junior devs, should always be done as a conversation. It's an opportunity to learn (from both sides), not just a a bunch of "bad implementation. rewrite" thrown in the PR.
"To be" being highly irregular il a common feature of a lot of Indo-European languages. But there's worse. In Spanish, "ser" and "estar" both mean "to be", but have wildly different meanings and cannot be substituted for one another.
