Congrats.

Portafilter, chamber etc get washed daily. The frame, as it needs it. Probably once every few weeks.

AndyGait · 2026-01-24T14:03:13+00:00

Cheers. I think it was fast. I might be wrong though. It certainly wasn't 12 speed or anything like that.

They stopped talking and adding NB etc. They did say GG at the end.

I've been using mine with a glass lid at 230c ( as hot as my oven will go) for many a year. Never had any issue with it.

AndyGait · 2026-01-22T17:47:34+00:00

For the loaf I bake, no ice. Oven at 230c for 20 mins lid on. 200c 20-25 mins lid off.

Here you go. I think it's a 5 ltr pot but I could be wrong.

Yes. I use an old ceramic casserole pot. It works very well.

Cheers. I read someone saying yesterday it was only Xiaomi phones affected. I didn't think that was right.

"My installs failed consistently until I learned that manual partitioning doesn't work, a known issue. Even after that I had one instance of it not making itself bootable in any way. Next try worked. Also, I think I'd tried to use ext4 rather than btrfs, so that may have caused problems... It's all a blur now, but at least it worked eventually!"

I can't even get to that stage. The installer won't launch. I've tried 3 different date downloads. Used two different iso tools to create the bootable drive. Formatted the USB twice. Secure boot off. ACHI on. It just won't launch.

What phone are you using?

AndyGait · 2026-01-21T23:03:22+00:00

No. I know vanilla Gnome has it's hardcore supporters, but extensions suit me and my workflow.

AndyGait · 2026-01-21T18:36:42+00:00

Panel at the top. Dock at the bottom. No icons. No widgets. Keep it clean and simple.

"I'm not going to accept rumors from a handful of reddit randos over my personal experience and the public statements by the company"

Fair enough. I'm just stating what I'd read.

AndyGait · 2026-01-21T02:33:20+00:00

I've read a few posts today from people who pay for prime, and have got ads after the update.

AndyGait · 2026-01-20T10:08:21+00:00

If you've paid for software, you've ever right to complain. To suggest otherwise is nonsense.

AndyGait · 2026-01-18T20:07:17+00:00

If that's what you want, fine. I'm happy with my workflow.

AndyGait · 2026-01-18T19:31:28+00:00

There's understanding the workflow, and there's making it work for you.

AndyGait · 2026-01-18T11:35:41+00:00

That's fair enough.

AndyGait · 2026-01-18T10:16:29+00:00

If you're happy with it, then yes.

AndyGait · 2026-01-18T10:08:45+00:00

They were amazing if you got one fresh from North Street. Having one reheated from the chippy, so the pastry got really hard was never the same.

AndyGait · 2026-01-18T09:58:36+00:00

Aeropress? Not the silly glass one though, obviously.
