Turned 30 this year. Used to make coffee 1-2 times per day, every day since it was bought new in 1996.

They still sell them. They retail for AUD$1000.

Should we try to coin the term:

“Beer’s Razor”

The purpose of a system is what it does…

I don’t want to be the “Deputy Downer” here, but I can’t stress the important of the v0 (we say v-naught) plastics in keeping you safe when it comes to electrical installations - for those that aren’t aware, they are plastics that have to self extinguish once the fault trips the electrical protection, should a fault occur that sets them on fire. (ie: once the electricity isn’t making it flame anymore, it has to put itself out)

Here is an example of how even low voltage DC can fault, and had the LED strip diffuser plastic not been v0 rated, we would have had a late night house fire into the roof when kids were asleep…

PETG in this kind of situation just becomes fuel and possible a very, very, very bad day…

I know v0 spools are more expensive, but cheaper than just about any of the disaster situation alternatives, so I always suggest you prototype with PLA/PETG but print v0 for the finals…

I’d suggest hobbling those log links that point to active payloads etc - usually best practice when writing this stiff up, so someone doesn’t accidentally click on them…

They are now one and the same…

I often recommend mailinabox for the same thing…

On android: have you tried Thunderbird with davx5 as the connector?

I have suggested people start with MailInABox and go from there…

I dipped my toe in the s76 pool with a fully specced lemp10.

It was by far the best Linux experience I’ve had on a laptop to date, but I still ended up back on an m2 mbp…

2 killer issues were:

1. finding realistic personal replacements for fusion360 and Affinity Designer. (freecad and inkscape just aren’t for me); and
2. The hardware just worked together better on the Mac (BT, audio, screen, WiFi, networking etc…).

I’m planning on taking my m2 mbp to asahi once the fingerprint scanner is working and dual booting for cad and vector graphics apps if I can’t get crossover versions working.

Net:Net I want to like s76, but the LEMP ended up basically the same price as the MBP and the Mac hardware was vastly superior (screen, audio, power management, etc)

I’ll try Linux again on my next laptop purchase again…

Only 395?!?!
