The author has a Master’s in informatics. That’s pretty much like an MBA. I wouldn’t expect more than buzzword-bingo from someone like that.

Python? This will require “specialized hardware” just due to the interpreter overhead taking continuous screenshots of everything you do and indexing/storing them. Why bother implementing something like this using an interpreted language??

The only way to combat this is to vote the assholes out at the end of their term.

Extreme leftists are getting a little too comfortable all over the world it seems.

Only if he uses Linux and insists on anal as a form of contraception. 😂

I’ve been using them to report spammers (including companies who can’t be bothered to fix their mailing list unsubscription mechanisms). It works by parsing mail headers, identifying the origin of the email and submitting email abuse reports to the operators of the relays that processed the unwanted email.

Well, as a feminist, I’m choosing the wolves.

Take care man! Take a step back, do what you have to do to decompress a little. I wish you all the best with whatever life is throwing at you. Don’t give up and hang in there!

That’s a decent workaround for a laptop with a broken keyboard.

400ppm? That’s pretty hard water. Your espressos must taste awful. 😣

My guess is that some businesses get tax breaks from municipalities in exchange for filling office spaces with warm bodies. The idea is that people in office buildings support local businesses by buying lunch, and sometimes grabbing a pint after work.

I’m not trying to excuse this trend, in fact as an IT person myself I 100% agree with the sentiment, I’m just trying to share what I’ve been told.

Whoah, isn’t FUTO the non-profit that Louis Rossmann works for? This is great news!!

Yeah, maybe not the horndog part, but the rest checks out if you read between the lines.

 

Hi fellow espresso aficionados,

I’m thinking to get a nanotech shower screen (IMS BV200NT, for example) for my Breville/Sage Barista Touch Impress and wanted to ask if any of you have any experience with NT shower screens…

Would there be any taste difference between the stock Breville/Sage shower screen?

Also, how tough is the NT coating? Say, if I use a metallic puck screen and it ends up rubbing up against the NT coating on the shower screen, would the NT coating get ruined/damaged?

And as a followup, does the NT coating help repel coffee grounds and distribute water better? I thought the latter would be more influenced by the quality and distribution of holes in the shower head. Also, does having the NT coating mean the puck screen is redundant for both distribution of water and grind sticking to shower screen?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

 

Hi all, recently I acquired a number of 1kg tubs of Cafetto evo cleaner on sale. I figured since Breville/Sage backflush tablets are the 1.5g Cafetto variety (see photos), I can probably safely replace them with Cafetto powder.

Now, the powder comes with a little scoop. Each scoop of powder is about 3-4g of powder, so a lot more than a standard Breville 1.5g Cafetto tablet (see photo for dimensions of said tablets).

According to the instructions, I need a scoop of powder for each cleaning cycle. That’s at least 2x more mass than a Breville tablet. I wonder why that is…

Is the powder less concentrated than the Breville tablets? Maybe it’s the “evo” brand (certified organic) vs. the regular brand (organic version is “weaker” somehow)?

Or is it likely that the powder instructions are “universal”/generic and apply to all machines, from a tiny Bambino to big ass commercial units?

Most importantly, do you think it’s safe to use “too much” powder (i.e. one full scoop as per directions on the tub)? When I used the 1.5g Breville tablets with my machine, it took 2 cleaning cycles back to back to fully dissolve it, so I worry that if I run the cycle with 4g of powder, it’s gonna take forever to dissolve…

If there’s anyone here using Cafetto, Cafiza or similar powders with their Breville/Sage machine, please let me know your routine (how much powder by weight) and if you do anything else.

P.S. my machine comes with a blind portafilter rubber disc with no hole, so there’s no concern with the powder “squirting out” prematurely through the portafilter.

I appreciate your expertise and feedback on this one. Thanks in advance!!

 

I've been testing the Orion browser for macOS and iOS/iPasOS for a few days. It's WebKit-based, and Apple OS exclusive. First impressions are positive, although I haven't put it through its paces (check multi-device iCloud settings sync, push tabs to its limits, dig into exactly how it protects privacy by syncing through iCloud, etc). Would love to hear your thoughts on this, especially if anyone has tried it.

Out of the box, this browser purports to be more private than Safari, Firefox, Brave and Chrome (not exactly high bars to beat, except maybe Brave/Firefox?). The killer feature, however, is support for Chromium and Firefox extensions... on iOS/iPadOS. The two extensions I tried (AdNauseam and Youtube SponsorBlock) don't appear to work; at least their extension web pages don't appear to function. Not sure if that's intentional, or if I messed something up.

In any case, would love to see some feedback from the community here.
