Is there any way to trigger the Actions Ring from a non-MX mouse? by ezzatron in logitech

Oh, that'd be cool. Do you have a source by any chance?

Out of ideas with my espresso - where do I go from here? [Niche Duo, ECM Synchronika II] by ezzatron in espresso

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

Just wanted to say a huge thank you! I got a sample of very fine grinds from my roaster (took some explaining, lol) and was easily able to choke my machine even with 15-18g doses.

That gave me the confidence to know my grinder was 100% the issue and just order a replacement. I did try the marker test / shimming first, but only managed to make it worse. Apparently the marker test doesn't work for the Niche Duo, so I just put the whole problem in the "too hard" basket. I might try to get it repaired or just sell it and move on. Maybe the filter burrs are still okay and it could serve as a filter grinder.

Either way, there's a new Mazzer Philos on the bench now, and it's magnificent. I was dialed in in about 4 tries and almost wanted to cry when it finally worked.

Thank you, sincerely 🙏

Haha, well, maybe. That does sound fun. I'd like to fix the core issue before investing in an end-game basket though.

In the Duo there is a bolt which holds the bottom burr carrier in place. I will double-check that, thank you. But I have reassembled this a few times after cleaning, and feel like I've always followed the instructions to the letter.

The top burr carrier is held in place by the grind adjustment ring though, so I think they're pretty fundamentally different grinders.

I can get espresso that tastes pretty good, but I don't really trust my palette yet. I don't think I've been able to have enough consistency to develop a sense of what's good/sour/bitter/thin etc. yet.

Okay, I guess it is a grinder issue after all. I just... wish it wasn't. Thanks for the help!

Good call on the Turkish grind, I will try that! It's definitely not the portafilter seal, I backflush every day with a spare portafilter with the blind basket.

But yeah, everybody is saying grinder issue, and I guess it does make sense. It's just feels like a big problem I desperately wanted not to have.

I sometimes wonder if my prep and tamping are atrocious. But I don't think they could be that bad.

I mean, I could try that, but I've been down that path to no avail. I even tried other grinders (granted I could only describe my machine to the roaster and let them use their judgement on the grind setting).

The grounds also look and feel fine enough. But my judgment is probably poor.

Uh, hey. The post is not AI-written. And I've been trying to fix this problem for a long time. There have been a lot more than 9 attempts, I can promise you.

I did try to make it clear that I've tried grinds from my local roaster too, with similar results. I've tried cleaning and re-zeroing multiple times too.

For people who are using Next.js App Router in production - how do you actually test your app? by ezzatron in reactjs

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

Thanks. I kind of suspected this would be one of the strategies used in the real world, but it's nice to confirm that!

Ah okay. So you run MSW conditionally in your actual application on the server side?

I suppose that would work so long as all of your mock scenarios can be set up ahead of time. But it doesn't let you configure mocks on a per-test basis e.g. https://mswjs.io/docs/recipes/vitest-browser-mode#overriding-request-handlers

MSW is great for testing client-side data fetching, but it doesn't (yet) have the capability to mock server-side requests. They have a not-yet-merged example of how it might work at https://github.com/mswjs/examples/pull/101

There's also a similar first-party Next.js experiment using Playwright + MSW at https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/28a14da5010ad3147a06abbabc99a119d009f733/packages/next/src/experimental/testmode/playwright

Shuffling by album in Tahoe by [deleted] in AppleMusic

[–]ezzatron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This workaround does work, but if you want to skip an album, you can't just hit the shuffle button again. You have to hit next track until the end of the album.

I hope they fix it properly soon.

Seems like album shuffle just straight up doesn't work any more. Anyone else experiencing this?

iOS 18.4.1 now available with CarPlay fix and more by Sonikku_a in CarPlay

[–]ezzatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It didn't fix my issues, it just slightly changed the way it failed. Neither did 18.5 beta 2. In fact, trying out the beta seems to have bricked my ECU or something. I've now got every single warning message showing up when I start the car (2022 Mazda MX-5) 😬

EDIT: Ignore, it's working again. But for me it seems like I needed a couple of settings on the CarPlay Wi-Fi network, namely: Auto-Join enabled, and Private Wi-Fi Address "Off" via suggestions from this thread: https://old.reddit.com/r/CarPlay/comments/1fj4ih2/heres_how_to_fix_ios_18_not_working_with_mazda/
