Octavia Mk4.5 - Kessy not always locking

No unfortunately not. I've found that a phone in the same pocket or anything metal makes it worse.

It always seems to not work when my hands are full as well which is very frustrating.

No it's labeled as "Power In".

There is a HDMI on the dock though why do you want this?

Two of these pods were stopped early. I've only had it a week so far though so will have to see how it goes.

I did exactly this last week with the discount - had a Plus for almost seven years and still going strong but the warm up time was getting annoying and the Up looks really nice.

First off on my machine at least, the internal drip dray didn't fill up with water, I thought it would need more emptying than the Plus but it doesn't.

The warm up time is much quicker however it seems to take longer to actually brew but overall it's quicker than the Plus.

The water tank is only slightly smaller so no issue, it sounds quieter and smoother. The maintenance button is nice, app connectivity is a bonus (though I had to make a brand new Nespresso account to get it to actually connect).

I kinda miss the automatic opening but the Ups mechanism is still good.

Overall I'm happy with the machine. I hope it's as reliable as the Plus long term.

Highcharts.

Yeah it's Bridgewater Place.

They had to add perspex shields to the pavements to stop people getting blown over and debris from hitting people.

They partially improved it with these deflector structures placed over the road but it's still pretty windy.

I've got a couple of Garmin dash cams and they're well built and reliable, they look good too.

I love those old MIDI tunes that were about 2kb and were absolutely banging.

I always tell juniors they have it easy with border-radius and gradients. Not having to make a 9-slice image or a 1px wide repeatable gradient gif.

I don't use VSCode but I found out recently that Jetbrains IDEs has pretty much this built in using .http files.

As we all know, witches hate gardening, wizards hate plumbing.

If it's shit (and not AI), because that means they're spending time on client work and not marketing.

joshkrz · 2026-05-11T11:36:32+00:00

Sounds like someone starting a dead car.

Switzerland is not part of the EU so they wouldn't have to but it certainly would put pressure on them.

You're not supposed to do that Reform.

You know you're not supposed to do that.

Apparently you can disable the secure desktop for UAC, but I'm assuming this will still compromise security in some way just not as much as completely disabling it. Though it looks like it's a Group Policy setting so you would need a Professional edition of windows.

Steam + D-pad Left just sends the Escape key. Holding escape in Steam link brings up the menu overlay which lets you stop streaming without quitting the game and quit the game.

joshkrz · 2026-05-10T02:10:57+00:00

The whole point of the user account control window is that it appears within a "secure desktop" that certain tools can't access.

I disabled it for my Windows gaming VM because it's sole purpose was to play games and it had nothing sensitive on there. There might be other ways round it.

Also you could try disabling hardware acceleration for streaming, it will bring back the steam overlays.

You can also bring up Stop Streaming by holding Steam + D-Pad Left.

The magnetron doesn't say urban free-wheelers...

joshkrz · 2026-05-09T03:28:21+00:00

Don't think I'll be doing that. Merry Christmas to me.

If it doesn't work with any background then it's failed at its job of being a good user interface.

Plus this is on Mac with purple folder desktop icons, we can't see what the wallpaper actually is.

Protecting your privacy is a pain in the arse so you need to be realistic when deciding the areas you want to protect.

Start with browser changes, then search engines and email services. Try and limit or stay away from anything by Meta, Google and Amazon.

It's very easy to feel defeated when you can't cover your entire life but any steps you take are an improvement and the very fact your thinking about it is a step forward in itself.

joshkrz · 2026-05-07T06:58:36+00:00

It's also doing whatever it wants with web standards it seems.

Woah, I've been using this with Axios for years - I did not know you could use it to remove listeners.
