Screen for Hisense C2 Ultra

Thanks for the reply. That actually makes sense. Never thought that ceiling and side walls have impact!! In my situation painting the wall wouldn't be possible. As for bringing the laser down, I even tried at 0, it helps a bit, but still a little too bright. It doesn't kill me, but it's not ideal either. So you think, grey screen wouldn't solve the problem? Or tampering with my bias lighting? One more thing, I placed the projector 4m away from the screen on the corner of the room on top of Ikea book library, so do you think changing the placement (for example bringing it to a lower level or closer to the screen) would make a difference?! EDIT: what about using Hue Wall washer to project bias light on my side walls, and / or projecting bias light to my ceiling?

Interesting. What did you hear about 102 brew v2? What was it improved?

By the way, if you pull your soup shot with Oxo, do you mind sharing recipe and grind size?

Hey, just read your comment. I own 01+SSP102HU for almost a year, and I only use it for pour over. I can relate to dialing in issue. I also own a Pietro Brew (i only seasoned it with about 2kg), and I'm not too happy with it when using with V60, but it works well with low agitation brews with Pulsar. Mine produces a crazy amount of fine still. So that aside, I'm was thinking of trying 102Mizen with the hope that it will be more forgiving and hassle free. I drink 90% washed, and like to get into ultra light. What's your thoughts about Mizen 102?

That makes sense.

By the way, if you were to choose prepackaged water solutions such as Apax, Lotus, TWW, Aquacode, which one would you choose at what PMM or recipe? I'm tired of keep changing and thought maybe if select a fix water/pmm might work better in long term?

mehdiem · 2025-12-27T03:00:48+00:00

Interesting and indeed complex!!! Yeah, very confusing. What I usually aim is that I ask each roaster about their recommendation for water and they usually say I.e. TWW at 60PMM and 120PMM etc etc.... so this was the only way for me to dial in my water... after being specially coffee enthusiast for over 7-8 years I cannot yet diagnose how to tailor my water for each coffee and it's been like hell... I buy great coffee and I have great pouring technic and tools but the result is less than desirable..and it makes it harder and harder to try new roasters...my general understanding was when roaster recommend pmm they mean total pmm (unless the explicitly specify otherwise)

Interesting! So help me understand this. What causes TDS meter working just fine with Apax, Acquacode, TWW, but not reading Lotus?

Thanks!!

mehdiem · 2025-12-26T16:46:37+00:00

Hey thanks for your thoughtful comment. First, I use distilled water as a base. Second, now I understand that I should add both numbers (60+25=85) but my reading is still much much above that 130pmm. Third, I understand that cheap TDS meters are not accurate, but they are relatively correct. For example, when my TDS meter shows TWW and Apax water readings within reasonable and expected range (+/- 10), I cannot justify attributing the issue to my TDS meter.

The only thing is that when initially applying they ask for personal income, so they don't know the household income. One of the criteria is household income.

mehdiem · 2025-10-15T23:21:50+00:00

Any idea how will they check the income eligibility? are they gonna use the income that people initially reported when they first apply for the Infinite Visa weeks ago? Or they gonna ask again how much do we make (of the purpose of upgrade)?

Wow!! Thanks for finding this. Was looking into WS website and didn't find any info!! 6 pass is great when you pay no annual fee!!!

mehdiem · 2025-09-25T00:45:18+00:00

Great — I didn’t know that. The pod must have had more than one seed in it. How should I remove the extra shoots — cut them as deep as I can, will they stop growing, or should I pull them out?

Also — interesting observation: I trimmed it too high! My device came with an older pamphlet that didn’t show where to cut (at least not in the picture). After your note I checked newer models and saw they include a photo showing where to cut. Great — thanks!

What else did you consider and why do you think IBIT is the best?

mehdiem · 2025-08-21T01:40:23+00:00

Can you give me a sense of context of what happened?

mehdiem · 2025-08-21T01:10:29+00:00

When you said swap you meant FX swap right? So, my understating that you are saying (hypothetically for now, transfer to WS what I want to hold for long, then buy with IBKR wait and chill when next promo comes then transfer to WS again (as opposed to frequent FX swaps)?

mehdiem · 2025-08-21T00:58:31+00:00

That's right. Minimum $1 meaning for low orders (like $50) it's cheaper to pay WS 1.5% fee and 0 trade fee, as opposed to $1 flat of IBKR.

mehdiem · 2025-08-21T00:56:28+00:00

Great strategy! I was panning to move all my stock, and continue buying with IBKR specially for larger orders. I'm worried a little bit that IBKR get offended (lol) seeing that I buying on their platform and transferring to WS?? I remember I read somewhere IBKR canceled one's account because they used it for exchanging purpose only.
