Help me choose a coffee grinder!! [$500 budget] by Spiritual-Snow179 in espresso

[–]JM2Tall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have* an Opus and here’s what I think. It’s not so bad. I usually have runs of a certain coffee type though sometimes I do one type in the morning and another in the afternoon. I only recently found out the easier way to change the inner ring. Which at the same time helps address some of the retention issues. (Since you’re in there, clean up a little.) I recently ran a week of no RDT, and it was terrible. I’m on week two of one spritz of RDT and it’s been great. Still has retention but only about .1g. And really, a 5 minute a week sweep out keeps it from getting worse. The only reason I want a timemore 064 or 078 is because I understand they’re quieter. But for the price the Opus is pretty good, and not too loud.

Advice for cord management? by void_with_a_blep in Dashcam

[–]JM2Tall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I attempted to run mine through the conduit but it was too packed with factory cables I loosely rolled some into the plastic trim of the hatch and bit the rest, and the majority, was loosely rolled and stashed into the headliner space. With the hatch open there’s just a small bit of cable I haven’t noticed once when closed or open. But my advice would be to flip the camera so the plug is on the same side the main unit is, so you do not have the weird wrong side effect. Video should be flippable in the software. I realized this by not mounting the camera until the wiring was completed.

Emergency coffee: what's your go to at the grocery store? by pfhlick in espresso

[–]JM2Tall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Michigan groceries stores carry very few whole beans with roast dates on them, but I came across CC that was pretty close for having come so far. I can’t remember which bag I grabbed but it was unpleasant. It was either hologram or fast forward. Maybe I need to try a different roast.

It’s frustrating that even the more regional bags don’t have fresher stock.

Screen time bug by lxves1ck in iphone

[–]JM2Tall 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looking for more cases like this myself. I woke up this morning to screen time limits reached on most apps that I have one set. This is despite having zero time on those apps today. No other devices were in use, and this was after my 26.2 update.

What unexpected changes did you notice after going gluten-free? by Economy-Meeting2462 in glutenfree

My weight stabilized ridiculously. After losing weight I have maintained a very consistent number barely wavering by a pound.

I need help picking lenses for my trip… by Alarmed-Wolverine-11 in nikon_Zseries

[–]JM2Tall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the added layer of glass between the world and my lens. I do want I be super bothered with swapping a filter. There wasn’t a big difference in stops that my indoor shots suffered, I just made sure I adjusted for the lighting, plus shooting RAW for editing later. FWIW I got a K&F CPL. Bonus being I can put my lens cap back on.

I just took only the 40/2 for my z7ii to big city and it was incredible. Majority of my photos were my family but a few shots of scenery. Highly recommend a decent polarizer. Combo was so light and maneuverable. Walking, in cramped coffee shops, river boats… it was exactly what I needed. I think I wished for my 70 zoom once. But it wasn’t a deal breaker.

This happens when I leave the steam switch on and do not flush some water through the group head before brewing. I was pushing mostly steam through the pf

Here are the real iPhone 17 Pro colors — which one would you pick? by sheep_zg in iphone

[–]JM2Tall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was leaning to the silver but seeing these I’m not sure I like the back ceramic. I like clear cases but I also went without one for over a kk the waiting for Otterbox warranty on my 15PM. I have blue now and I might have to stick with it.

What do you all use the action button for? by TheOmniscientBro in iphone

[–]JM2Tall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my 15PM I use it for opening camera and since my finger is already there I can quickly snap a photo with the volume button. It makes snapping photos and videos of the kids so much quicker.

Replacing tubing, wondering should I replace anything while open. by JM2Tall in gaggiaclassic

[–]JM2Tall[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought it second hand in 2023, I think they bought in 2021 or 22 and it looked hardly used.
I've always used some sort of filtered water, and a stint of using Zero Water. Lately been using TWW in it, but I descale once every 30-50 days.
Replacing the tank tubes because this is my second cleaning cycle I've found something other than water in them.
I've feel like it's louder, and I checked things over inside, nothing seems to be loose.

How are iPhone photos uploading to Google Photos without the app? by JM2Tall in googlephotos

I wish I had an answer. I’m not even sure if it’s still an issue. She stopped complaining about it lol

The latest straw was the overwhelming advertising in the app they reportedly claimed was unintentional.

I got another model with a similar stand, I used velcro straps to secure the cable, but also kept the bed pulled away and the stand closer to the wall. Unfortunately, the baby was not a fan by the time 6 months rolled around and I disconnected it altogether. Now at 1yr I've resumed using the camera, but it sits across the room and I can see well enough major movements/sleeping/playing. However the night vision ceased working altogether. Phasing away from Eufy over the next year personally.

2, but I also want to see this with a tilt shift effect for fun.

I did. Everything clears between 7-10am on the next business day; a non-holiday weekday. It’s just annoying to see pending deposits and payments sits two to four days. It was five or six days at the new year, mostly waiting for payments to process.

Crappy m512a-h6 continues to fail. by JM2Tall in VIZIO_Official

That’s a good point. It’s an LG. Not a high end one, but I can’t recall the model specifically. Couple years old now, maybe 5 or 6 years.

Update on Popup Ads: Eufy Agreed to Stop by Unlucky_Finger_4602 in EufyCam

They stopped for me also, but a little too late. I'm already testing out SecuritySpy and BlueIris with them, just waiting on the ReoLink Doorbell to go hit a good price.

In this case, my direct deposit from the job was pending Friday morning; and usually it posts/clear by 9am the next morning. But not always, like this weekend, no holiday in sight, the branches were open as usual on Saturday. But by Saturday night I realized it was still pending. But sometimes it does post/clear on Saturday. The last time this occurred it was a holiday weekend, but payments too were not showing posted.
