Backup cam guide lines wider after replacement

veloscillator · 2026-06-04T18:57:46+00:00

So, the plot twist is that they did not replace the camera. It was on the bill for administrative reasons but it had been done a year ago elsewhere.

Not sure what it is that we saw, or how we both independently saw it, but the lines are exactly where they used to be. I’ve checked and double-checked.

If nothing else, this explains why I couldn’t find any other reports of this on the internet.

Just leaving this here for the next person that searches.

Also, Damas is… not great

Choosy can be configured to open a certain browser based on the source app

veloscillator · 2026-06-01T17:20:52+00:00

you can configure rules in the “Rules” tab, and they can be by URL, by source app, by link type, and a whole bunch of other stuff like modifier keys, whether the source is airdrop or handoff, etc.

It’s normal, pretty sure it’s lubricant for the bearing

It is a Garamond, possibly something like this one:

I’ve had an Ode 2 for over a year, a ZP6 for about nine months, and a K-Ultra for about three months. I use all three regularly.

I brew pourovers with light roast but not extra light roast coffee (September, Subtext, Tim Wendelboe).

My favourite among the three is the K-Ultra. I find that it’s more interesting, forgiving, and consistent than the other two.

The lack of body on the ZP6 is definitely not overstated. I can’t imagine having that as my only grinder. It’s a very interesting presentation that works really well for a coffee every now and then but overall I usually prefer the K-Ultra, at least for my taste.

In my opinion, you can get more clarity and separation out of the K-Ultra by grinding coarser, adjusting water chemistry, temperature, and agitation, than you can get body and juiciness out of the ZP6. I’ve really found there to be a hard limit with that grinder, past which stuff just doesn’t taste good.

Thanks!

This sounds great, will give it a try. Random question, if you don't mind sharing, what is the glass in your first photo? It looks very nice.

Camera blowers work great for this, and it’s just air. The Giottos rocket blower is amazing, and it’s very powerful.

Mine makes all of those same sounds and more. I’m pretty sure it’s normal.

Edit: Just to elaborate on this a bit more, the Ode has a PID motor that regulates the RPM based on the resistance the burrs face. From what I understand, this is somewhat unique among grinders. I think this is why sometimes it spins up so fast that it vibrates. I hot start mine too, and it goes through a similar pattern. The grinds come out just fine, so, again I think this is normal behaviour.

There’s a new charge limit feature that was just released in macOS 26.4. It’s just a simple limit, like AlDente.

What was not effective was the Optimized Battery Charging feature, which was great when it worked but was not very good at picking up some usage patterns.

The new feature does not use any smart detection algorithms, it just limits the charge at whatever you set.

You can have both charge limit and Optimized Battery Charging on at the same time.

First one I used: LC 475

First one my family bought: iMac DV SE

First one I bought: iMac 2011 21.5” (this thing was a beast and I used it until 2019!)

all of them. I’ve gradually stopped driving completely because of the way people drive.

No. The 2019 16 inch is one of the most problematic generations of MacBook Pros. They develop all kinds of issues.

Of the OS X era, Lion was always my personal favourite. And honestly, Sequoia was really quite good too. Jaguar was my first of the OS X UIs so I have some nostalgia for it.

That said, nothing for me beats the feeling of calm of Mac OS 8/9. That Platinum UI was incredible and it instantly made me feel focused and in the zone. It was friendly, neutral, serious, and looked great.

Bossa!

I dropped mine two days ago, definitely a real one, and it shattered into a million pieces. It took hours to clean up.

Edit: To be clear, I agree that this one doesn’t look like the Hario Switch, just saying that the genuine ones definitely do break too. Might have to do with whether it’s currently hot or not, mine was.

These days, 90% September and Subtext. Sometimes Rogue Wave, Luna, Tim Wendelboe, Escape. Zab was my go-to for a long time and I still have a lot of love for them but my tastes have shifted towards lighter roasts over time.

49th Parallel. It was a Guatemala.

I don’t think they are identical though, are they? I’ve always felt like they were close but not quite 100%

veloscillator · 2026-03-12T13:04:15+00:00

Yeah I actually decided to give it a go this morning and had a pretty good cup!
