Sounds like the gain is way different on your input.

Too high will cause increased levels of distortion

This is how you get 40k Orks

The computer reboots 16 times when you plug it in.

If you don’t mind trying something different then give the GameBall trackball a go.

It has a lot of features and smarts that are controlled via the firmware within the unit (and as such doesn’t require extra software). Plenty you can do with extra software (same as any other device but it works well with generic)

Thirded. It just works. Even deployed to elderly relatives with wifi printers with no issues.

Milk adds a fair bit of sweetness and hides a lot of sins in the coffee process.

If it’s been slightly burned or the machine/grinder aren’t really clean then milk will cover that. Black…it’s all out there.

If you can ask them for 3 or 4 seconds of hot water from the group and then float the espresso shot on top and stir. Makes for a great cafe option.

You don’t want water from the steam wand/hot water spout as it’s from a different boiler and will be much hotter. Normally around 130degress celcius vs around 90 for the espresso.

Water? Maybe shift to a “long black” style.

Definitely needs some more testing as those numbers in the table look low to me. Archiving vs listening is a key point and storage is relatively cheap.

Listening on cheap Bluetooth headphones then you can get away with a low bitrate. If you are using better gear and/or music that has a lot of dynamic range and comes from strings (piano/classical/etc) then I would recommend 320 but your mileage may vary.

Listen, compare and decide. I have a library of about 110k tracks (musicbrainz-Picard is amazing) and I wish I had:

  1. Focussed more on encoding albums rather than just songs and
  2. Had 320 or flac

Well done. It’s a Lenovo issue. Had to do the same thing recently for a friends laptop and did the same dance.

I have some IT background so kind of knew what to look for but it still was a pita.

I thought you wrote “null” for a second. Extremely fast backup target.

Depends on the boot.

The more expensive ones come with multiple air bladders and you inflate one the boot is strapped on. You can adjust where and how tight.

Did you swap Word for Libre Office?
