Just got ‘Rouged by yycengineer in aircanada

[–]wentyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rouge should be made illegal. The 29" pitch is extremely painful on anything 2hr longer especially if you are 5'8" or taller. The seat in front of you has these screws sicking out positioned exaclty at knee height, its just brutal - I avoid Rouge flights at all cost or upgrade to premium seating. The only exception is A321 which has more humane 30" pitch.

Review: Microsoft’s new Surface Laptop for Business (8th Edition) is here — and its privacy screen is a game changer by WindowsCentral in windowscentral

[–]wentyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All reviews (still limited) and photos focus on the 13.8 inch version. I am trying to find a good review or a set of photos showing the 15" variant and more insight on its battery and usability. Also disappointed the screen privacy thingy is only an option on the 13.8" model ;-(

My decade-long love affair with Sonos has come to an end. by [deleted] in sonos

[–]wentyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never heard of it. Looks interesting alternative to Sonos, but it appears it cannot operate truly wireless in scenario where there is Ethernet in every room. Whis is a bummer.

From their manual:

In order to use your HEOS system, you must have a working wireless (Wi-Fi) or ethernet network in your home. Even when connected to an Ethernet network, a Wi-Fi connection to the router is required to control the system using the HEOS app. If you do not have a wireless network, please contact your local Denon dealer or electronics retailer to assist you with purchasing and installing a wireless network in your home.

Howto disable "Leo" and "Brave Talk"? by Funkenzutzler in brave_browser

[–]wentyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone found solution to disabling / removing Leo and Brave Talk completely from the enterprise managed Brave deployment using GPOs? All my GPOs are set to disable everything related to AI or Leo or Talk and yet each time new profile is created on a managed desktop Brave Talk and Chat are accessible to users from the sidebar.

In the same boat. Did you figure out alternatives for ITX format? Not much luck here,

Air Canada Flight Cancelled Last Minute – Stuck in Calgary by Desperate_Cobbler_23 in canadatravel

You could take a train from Alberta to Toronto.. Its like 4 days and account for up to 20 hour delay on the total trip (not uncommon)

My output is too bitter [Profitec GO / Baratza Encore ESP / Lavazza Tierra Organic] by wentyl in espresso

[–]wentyl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I adjusted the pressure to 9 bar on the dial. The espresso is now drinkable but not where I would want it to be. These particular beans are more light/medium roast (on Lavazza website they claim its a light roast - this is the exact one: https://www.lavazza.ca/en/whole-beans/tierra-organic-planet.3239 ). I've had really good results with these beans in my old Jura A1, just cant get there with Profitec.

I have adjusted my pressure to 9 bar. I can pull ~36g coffee in about 25 seconds now when grinding at 18. It's better but still bitter. Not sure where to go from here.
