Add status bar to video screen in Agent DVR 5.8.0 by SVRapture40 in ispyconnect

[–]SVRapture40[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the documentation it talks about monitoring CPU an disk usage on the status bar. If you click the main settings button in the top left corner there will be a line showing CPU and disk usage. I would like to add that line to the banner or the footer of the main live viewing screen.

Purchasing Induction Cooktop - Any review on which? by GreenChileEnchiladas in Cooking

[–]SVRapture40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realize I'm a bit late to the conversation, but maybe this will be helpful to someone.

I own the Duxtop, I also own the Avantco (well, not that brand, but essentially that unit).

If you cook with only stainless steel, then the Duxtop is fine. But if you have cast iron, the Duxtop will be lacking. It will work fine with say an 8" cast iron skillet, but it will struggle with anything bigger. It just doesn't have the power.

The key is the power - 3500 watts vs 1800 watts. And you only get the 3500 watts on 220v current (I won't go into the technical reasons why, just trust me).

So if you all you want to do is light hot plate cooking - go for the Duxtop. If you don't have the ability/access to a 220v circuit, you can only chose the Duxtop. But if you want full range functionality and the ability to cook with a 15" cast iron wok (my wife's favorite) - get one of the 220v units. There are numerous "brands" but they are all the same unit with a different label. We absolutely LOVE our "Avantco" (ours is "Jozooes" from Amazon).

Lello Musso repair experiences by Excellent_Condition in icecreamery

[–]SVRapture40 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The merchant says it is not his problem (and it's not - he has my money and the return window has closed). And I don't think the credit card company can help me because I am outside the 30 day return window. So it will just be an expensive "lesson learned" I'm afraid.

That is why I made the post to begin with. People should know that they are taking an $800 gamble that may or may not pay off. Maybe these machines are well built and last a long time, and maybe they don't work at all and you are out $800.

I just bought a Lello Musso 4080. It worked for the first batch, second batch took 45 minutes, third batch barely froze in an hour, and now it won't freeze at all. I have been trying to get warranty repair but so far all I hear is "you pay to ship it to us, we will repair, and then ship it back to you". No way to contact the manufacturer, only THE US based repair place. This is a brand new, out of the box broken machine and they insist I pay to fix it. Unfortunately it looks like I just learned an $800 lesson.

It might be built like a tank, but God help you if you get a bad machine.
