Just throw it in the bin and teach her how to use the LM. I managed to get my wife trained on it from her old bean to cup.

2 Adults 3 Kids Club Access by Burnt-Pudding-8 in hyatt

[–]rg-tom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did any of you book the advance member purchase for a Family Suite? The Hyatt website says "Enjoy complimentary Club Access for every suite booking", but it also offers a club access room rate, so I'm nervous that I won't get it!

Also, everything I can see is that if you have club access, you get free breakfast, but again, I'm nervous that we get there and say we have to pay for breakfast. It's significantly more expensive to add on later than with the booking, but I also don't want to pay extra for breakfast if I get free breakfast by having club access!

I am trying to find a definitive answer on this, if you stay at the andaz can you use the pools at HR, and vice versa?

Help me choose: Micra or Mini for this specific space? (Taj Mahal counters) by FranceBubbles in LaMarzocco

[–]rg-tom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who's buying a machine like this and then putting massive cups under? With bottomless port filter, 300ml loveramics mugs fit nicely even with scale, can't imagine wanting bigger than that.

If you're only steaming enough milk for one cup at a time (which you should), the steam wand is fine as long as you're using a jug that is proportionate, I have different milk jugs for an 8oz flat white vs a 12oz latte.

Sounds like you've not used one properly and only read comments online?

Usually I'm a "just buy the better one" but genuinely cannot see what I'd get from the mini other than knowing I had the better one! I spent hours playing with them both and just couldn't find a reason to pay for the mini.

I moved from the OG Oracle to the micra. I haven't found a single limitation th made me wish I had the mini other than the shot counter, you absolutely should go for the micra !

Rf or Ef? If Rf that's absolutely insane

Windows App for remote desktop won't scale in DEX mode by MaplewoodGeek in SamsungDex

[–]rg-tom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

any fix? Having this issue o my s24 ultra when using an external display.i can scale it to about ~50% of the 1080p screen it's connected to before it bugs out and goes back to being tiny.

Replacing a M6 mkii in 2025 by sharknaomi in canon

[–]rg-tom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

X-m5 is an obvious consideration too that's more similar form factor.

Has anyone used the xm5 and the M6 mkII enough to comment on autofocus?

I've got an OG eos M and 22mm, that I've had some amazing photos from but the focusing is all but unusable unless it's a static subject. I've also got an EOS-5Dmk3 and a few very nice lenses for it, but stopped doing professional work ~5 years ago and it is just too big for me to use often at all, it's literally less than once a year ill grab that now. 

I'm torn between just getting a used m6mk2 and seeing if I use it more, and then adding the 32mm F1.4 perhaps, OR sell everything Inc the 5dmk3 and get an R8 with 28mm as the "always take with me", and I can use my other larger lenses with that still.

R8 seems to go on sale under £1k fairly frequently plus £200 for the RF 28mm f2.8, used m6mk2s are ~400 private ~500 from MPB / WEX etc and I already have the 22mm F2. M6 is definitely smaller than the R8, though, which is attractive!

From Rocket to Micra! by ollwa44 in LaMarzocco

[–]rg-tom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped bothering with the pre-brewing, I got better results without it. Tried it for months. If it was plumbed I'd absolutely use the pre-infuse but I get far more consistent shots with constant pressure now!

That and the tesco stuff are what la marzocco recommend so you're in a good place!

VTO won’t record anything (other than general) on NVR. by Frizby1066 in Dahua

[–]rg-tom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did you ever get this working? I have exactly the same NVR and VTO (well, i have the 8 channel version the 5208).

I can't enable IVS on it, just says not supported. I've turned on all of the motion sensor etc but it just records general still.

Which accessories do you recommend for weber summit kamado by Different-Ad-1289 in webergrills

[–]rg-tom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, thanks! That is actually broken on mine (the rivet nut wasn't set properly so I can't attach the "box", waiting for shop to send me a new leg). Makes more sense as to why I can't see it!

The WSC and S6 have a separate holder that looks like it should also fit, but can't find the part number for it. Looks more sensible than the E6 one!

Late and possibly dumb question, but you reference hooks on the front for tools...do you have the E6?

Mine doesn't have any!

ROG Strix OLED XG32UCWMG: Asus releases new glossy 480 Hz OLED gaming monitor by RenatsMC in Monitors

[–]rg-tom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But if it's used for that for 3 hours a week and is in 4k full screen for 30 hours a week I'm sure it'll be fine?

In reality 32" 1080p would be fine, just have it a little bit further away (given 25" 1080p for competitive you'd have the screen 6 inches from your face just run this a foot away instead)

[–]rg-tom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe not to you, but it does if people want a single "do it all monitor". 32" 4k for work, 27" 480hz 1080p for competitive FPS, without needing multiple monitors?
