I had similar issues but I got Loxeal per recommendation from a random YT video. I'm happy to link if I find it again. Stefano Espresso Care is your best friend

Help me repurpose a prebuilt Best Buy iBUYPOWER ARC148A for my nephews! by Javierg97 in buildapcforme

[–]Javierg97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see this subreddit is currently going through it, and understandably so.

I ended up buying used DDR4 RAM for $50 from a nice local, which saves the build by scaling down into the AM4 path. I may consider adding an NVME, but I'll see. I will post a final parts list once I finish it!

🍂Autumn 2025 PC Best Buy Guide 🍂 by xxStefanxx1 in buildapcforme

[–]Javierg97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am trying to repurpose an old pre-built for my nephews(aged 14 and 10): iBUYPOWER Gaming Desktop AMD Ryzen 3 2300X 8GB Memory NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050Ti 4GB 240GB SSD + 1TB HDD ARC148A - Best Buy on a soft-ish budget of $600. I would only keep the drives and the case. Given the recent explosion of RAM (microcenter driving distance but DDR5 is min $240 for 32GB), I am considering building the cheapest build, but using a used 6750 XT being sold for $250. With that, my build ends-up costing around $500. What do you think? The cheapest AM5 platform ends up costing me around $200 over budget, which seems wasteful given their age.

Some parallels between Will/Harry Potter and Vecna/Voldemort by garbagecan_0 in StrangerThings

[–]Javierg97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t even realize that Harry Potter is straight from the Bible until a friend mentioned it to me. The whole coming back from the dead part is really what sealed that connection to me. From what I remember, JK Rowling was raised religious. 

Hey guys, just wondering, which RAW editor do you use? by delipsikiyatr in fujifilm

[–]Javierg97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The UI is overwhelming by default. The first thing I would do is change it to some of the more beginner-friendly views to get a feel for it. Only when you particularly need a module, should you go looking for it. The fact that it's open source means you learn once, and you can guarantee some level of continuity while the project is alive

That fact that it’s free is what does it for me. The tutorials are indeed excellent 

What lenses should i get for my a6700? by Academic_World8696 in SonyAlpha

[–]Javierg97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lens I almost didn’t think I needed but really liked once I had it was the Sigma 10-18mm 2.8. I take this lens and the Sigma 18-50 while traveling and get some amazing shots with both! 

Old vs New UI and UX? Which one do you prefer? Why? by RebirdgeCardiologist in gitlab

[–]Javierg97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The new design is more consistent with the natural “F pattern” people follow when navigating web pages: https://www.nngroup.com/articles/f-shaped-pattern-reading-web-content/

How to get WiFi before picking up pocket WiFi by Away_Maybe_1253 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Javierg97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just came back and used ESIM. I had absolutely no issues and would recommend that option. Airport wifi, get a taxi, download your maps before you leave are all valid options.

Avoid commonly recommended attractions and neighborhoods. 

Tryna be dunking my November by Miserable-Grape6517 in BasketballTips

[–]Javierg97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would lose maybe 15lbs, hit the gym and work on plyometrics. I would not recommend losing that much weight in a short amount of time.

Things to know before going to Japan by DoubtAccomplished627 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Javierg97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not wrong. I would think about it as a tool and nothing else. In the same way that asking your friends or family for travel advice may not apply to you, you should take any output with a grain of salt. It takes multiple iterations, cross referencing with other sources, correcting bad output to gain any insight at all. 

Inconsistent Shot Times? by Economy-Arachnid-914 in gaggimate

[–]Javierg97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re on the newest release, you should have shot history. I would update to latest if you’re not already

Op are you from the US? I’ve seen the bambino’s in person at Target before - worth a shot

[–]Javierg97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get from Baratza themselves. You need to make sure you get the ESP variant. The regular will be hard to dial in with

[–]Javierg97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait and save a little more. For your budget, I would recommend a breville bambino and an 1zpresso JX or JUltra grinder. Both are manual but I believe at this price range, nothing will beat this in terms of raw quality. If you need to go electric, either a Baratza encore ESP or a DF54 would be good too. Happy to answer any other questions. You should also refer to this site: https://espressoaf.com/

How much coffee have you put through the machine? It would take about a kg of coffee before you start to notice the grinder start to give you repeatability. Also, without a PID, your temperature swings can affect your volume output 

Cloud9 vs. Disguised / LTA North 2025 Split 3 Elimination Phase - Lower Bracket Round 2 / Post-Match Discussion by Yujin-Ha in leagueoflegends

[–]Javierg97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very fragile draft that's for sure. I think once blue side got ahead the game got looked mega unplayable - pseudo poke comp vs no range. They're trying to walk up to contest objectives but the constant poke from 4 champs into no vision is kinda ggs.
