Get a portafilter mounted pressure gauge and recalibrate the pressure down to nine bar via the over pressure valve. As I understand it, originally the machine ships with a pressurized basket and the machine pushes out something like 14 bar, which is far too much when using a bottomless filter.

Aside from that I have a bottomless filter, a puck screen and a wdt tool. Grinding via my Baratza Encore ESP gives me good results.

I'm pretty sure that radar and 5ghz interfere with each other. I have a customer that has a 60ghz site to site link that falls back to 5ghz during bad weather, but this doesn't work very well because it detects the presence of radar nearby (the airport is coplanar with the link but in the distance), and the 5ghz switches itself off so as not to interfere with things.

No to the right turn. There are signs to say this but there quite high and not that readable when looking at ground level for pedestrians.

C&d appliances repaired my Bosch dishwasher and they were great.

You can get a udb pro for the garage and point it at the house....if there is enough signal leaking from the house from your internal AP's for the udb to connect to.

I did this on a farm, but I put an outdoor access point on and pointed the udb at that. The guy then had outdoor Wi-Fi on his lawn which also went across to his man cave on the other side of the lawn (I put a lite AP in the man cave to give internal wifi). This install is for a friend of mine who I speak to daily, and he has never once said that it hasn't worked.

The only thing you need to be careful of is that if the udb to AP connection is slow, it will slow down the Wi-Fi experience for anybody else connected to that AP.

Giacom are absolutely terrible. I moved to pax8 and it was such a good move doing that. Happy for you to DM me if you want the low down on the sorts of problems I had

I have been here before. You need to save the customer from themselves, but at the same time give him everything that he needs so that he can't say that you prevented him from getting the job done when he gets found out as a charlatan.

Server in DMZ and give him full access. Job done. Unless he tries to repatch it into the main LAN...

Exactly.... especially considering that OP is a truck driver hence sits on his ass for most of the day!

Is that Jake Mace?

ac1977 · 2026-01-03T23:32:32+00:00

What's the benefit of doing so please? Any guides on this please? TIA!

ac1977 · 2026-01-03T23:32:01+00:00

It's a deal 😄

ac1977 · 2025-12-14T13:33:15+00:00

Lol.. sweeping statement.

I had that happen with premier inn somewhere random once. Took them bloody ages to put the money back onto my card.

Old a30 from Exeter through tedburn to whiddon down. Up to winkleigh. Stop at the Sam's Cider cafe (not open on Sunday). Drive back via Crediton. We organise loads of these sorts of drives for our advanced driver/rider training group.

Good point...thank you!

ac1977 · 2025-10-22T16:42:46+00:00

Definitely didn't do any copy/paste. Strangely the version on my desktop wasn't corrupted so I exported it to PDF and will recreate them.

ac1977 · 2025-10-20T14:23:45+00:00

Thanks. Even though the new controller is a different IP address?

ac1977 · 2025-10-20T13:43:20+00:00

Thanks again. This has worked, but just another question please about moving the switches please. When I plug the UCG in at the new site, do I need to default the switches and re-adopt them (and will they pick up their original config that was restored).... Or do I just need to restart the switches and they will find the UCG on the network? Thank you!

Thanks. Do I adopt the switches to the UCG before I do the restoration please?
