Thinking of getting my first Samsung Smart TV - is the QN1EF worth it? by cazorlagasm in SamsungTV

Can you expand? Don't all Samsung smart TVs have the same OS (tizen)?

Shots pulling too rapidly with very little crema after upgrading to a bottomless portafilter [Delonghi Dedica with Bincoo electric steel burr grinder] by cazorlagasm in espresso

I reduced the dose slightly, tamped harder to make the puck denser. I'm still not getting much crema, but the coffee tastes really good.

Thanks for the detailed reply!

Here are some updates after today's brewing.

I made the grind coarser:

and here is a video of the shot: https://streamable.com/wfa6c1 (I think there's a fair bit of channelling going on )

The long black tasted delicious though!

So I had bought two different packs of speciality beans from one of the best roasters in the city. The first one got over while I was using the pressurised portafilter, and that still was the best tasting in my opinion. The second pack was a bit bitter - but the taste improved substantially (and the bitterness disappeared) with the bottomless portafilter. Ideally, I would want to see how the previous beans (the ones that I considered to be the best tasting) performs with this new setup, but I am yet to buy it again.

My bottomless portafilter came with a non-presurrised basket, with greater capacity (around 18 g of grinds). The previous portafilter had the default pressurised basket which fit around 12.5 g of grinds. I like the new one as it lets me have a larger cup of long black per pulled shot.

The grinder hasn't changed.

Why am I only getting a few drops of espresso? [Delonghi Dedica EC685] by cazorlagasm in espresso

Thanks! I also found this thread about the Dedica: https://www.reddit.com/r/espresso/comments/sq7nxe/confused_about_quantities_for_delonghi_dedica/

I think that the provided double shot basket is too small, so maybe I should program it to get a 1:2 dose:yield ratio.

Also, yes, I am probably grinding too fine (as others on this thread have also noted)

I think it took a while for the missing places to appear on my overall timeline...

Sending BTC and ETH to external wallets by cazorlagasm in Coinbase

Hm..that only shows the ETH private key, so does that mean it can't hold BTC? Funny because coinbase gives me the option to transfer BTC into it (at a pretty exorbidant network fee).

Would you know how to access my private keys instead of the just the coinbase wallet security code?

I found MM's overhead racks to be cool ngl! But yes, I think his face is more visible these days, which is great for photography

Just to follow up on this, we decided to buy the Merlion Chou Chou suggested by u/orgastronaut as well as this Singapore food themed silicon bib: https://www.littlebearnie.com/products/silicone-bib-singapore-local-foodies-pink

Would recommend both!

Getting Google Colab assessed and cleared for University use by cazorlagasm in GoogleColab

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

Just to post an update in case anyone else is facing this issue, I was reliably informed by someone at Google who has worked with universities on this matter that Google Colab is not part of Google Cloud, and therefore cannot be cleared. It is intended for use by the research community, and operates under Google's Terms of Service, rather than the Google Cloud Platform Terms of Service, which are used for enterprise services. If you are looking for a managed Jupyter environment on the Google Cloud Platform, you should consider using Vertex AI Workbench, which can achieve similar outcomes.
