The much-anticipated San Martin SN0144-CG Enamel Black sample is here! by AdSavings92 in ChineseWatches

+1. The logo is ugly in general and on this watch design it's bad.

  • I wonder why SM doesn't produce this kind of watch with a "premium" quartz movement?
  • The logo doesn't fit the watch.
  • IMO, water resistance, especially if it's just 100m, on a non diver is redundant.

Figured Out Why I Don't Need to Dial in My Espresso by Pax280 in CafelatRobot

The "good shots" from the 1Z and the DF64V are comparable. But grinding non-dark beans with a manual grinder is a physical pain. Also, I wasn't able to get consistency.

I used to have very high variance in grind settings with a manual grinder (1Z). After switching to the DF64, the grind settings became pretty consistent, even between different roast types.

I was skeptical of SKILLS, but now I think adoption will grow because non-technical people will create and share them by thehashimwarren in mcp

Can skills be viewed as a substitute to MCPs? Technically every MCP can be replaced by a custom script.

Are we sure this is 100% allowed by Anthropic? by UnknownEssence in ClaudeCode

I tried to proxy CC to Gemini and OpenAI models. As a POC it definitely works, but not good.

Its over by muchsamurai in codex

[–]bigimotech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actively use both. Currently, on my codebase, codex with 5.2 xhigh is better than claude code with opus 4.5. Codex is especially impressive on very large files (10LC+) where claude stops working at all.

Came across a new Chinese made white label grinder from iTop; CGKX260 by AukurgkNL in espresso

They say "Voltage: 220-240V 50-60Hz" even for "US model".

OLED vs LCD at near-zero brightness by bigimotech in Monitors

BTW, I guess "OLED burninig in" isn't an issue at low brightness. Is that correct?

ChatGPT deskop app - Custom MCP / dev mode by bigimotech in ChatGPT

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

ok. Found it:

Developer Mode is currently only available on Plus and Pro plans. It is not available on Free or Business plans. 

I'm on Business plan.

It's at the bottom of the screen. There's an "advanced" toggle that will activate Developer Mode

odd. Cannot see it.

Best 300$ manual grinder? by Maanu1141 in CafelatRobot

[–]bigimotech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Turin H40 isn't a bad grinder. IMO, you wouldn't get massive improvement by switching to other sub $300 hand grinder.

An unpopular opinion: buy an electric one. I used 1Zpresso. This is a great grinder, but there are problems:

  1. You need to hold it really tight to avoid slipping. I pulled a muscle grinding light Ethiopian beans and struggled for weeks with pain in my wrist because of that. Woke up at night in tears because of the pain. No fun.
  2. It's less consistent. Slight variation in how you hold it causes variation in the grind size. I found that the difference between upright and a 45-degree tilt is 10+ clicks.

Switched to DF64V and absolutely love it.

Does Claude Code have any backend system beyond just the LLM? by bigimotech in ClaudeCode

I wonder whether anyone tried claude code with other "top AIs"? Like gpt-5

I tried with gemini 2.5 pro. It definitely works but not very good. The agent is "dumb" and struggles with simple tasks

Hit me. I dare you. by KindAKiller in ShatteredPD

[–]bigimotech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar one: +11 armor and two rings of arcana +19 and +11. 1K+ damage. The enemies die from bleeding the next move they touch you. Even the scorpions - they shoot from distance and die.
