No offense taken! Thanks for your thoughts. I did quite a bit of experimenting back in the day and never really understood the high prices that coffee grinders demanded since I couldn't tell much difference with the aero press as long as it had a burr (blade grinders probably should not even be called coffee grinders). Certainly no improvement as noticeable as using pre-ground vs freshly ground at least.

My Slim is rather beat up these days - I'm surprised it works as well as it does with all my abuse. Maybe I'll grab a pricier grinder and crack open a new set of experiments with pour overs this time around. There are wayyy more options available now than I recall.

That's great this post is about a steel grinder that costs $100 and isn't supposed to get wet

So stainless burrs start off sharper but will dull over time whereas a ceramic burr is functionally the same forever but can break if you drop it or get something hard stuck in the grinder.

Though the only reason I say that ceramic is better is because you're generally not supposed to soak the metal burrs in water and I like the ease of cleaning them that way.

I mean I am very concerned about the taste of my coffee, it taking 10 minutes to make a single cup of coffee by hand grinding beans and using an aero press is way outside the realm of need lol

I have a number of friends with various other grinders manual and not. I looked heavily into the space for a while but I have never been able to tell that it makes much difference sans the speed, ease of cranking and general build quality. I'd love an automatic one but those all seem to be trash or crazy expensive.

I can't say I notice any consistency differences from cup to cup with using an aero press and paper filters at least. The grind is pretty consistent, maybe because I use a coarse grind and the drill though idk. Have pretty much used the aero press forever so idk as much about other grind/brew variations either.

In lifeguard training I was unironically told I might have to punch someone in the face to snap them out of it and ensure we don't both drown lol

Coffee grinders are always crazy expensive and I dont really understand why when a ceramic burr is all you really seem to need (steel is fine but I think ceramic is better). I have a cheap hario hand grinder with a 10mm wrench bit crammed on the top for use with a drill and this setup has worked great for over 10yrs of daily use.

The article is a flat lie. It allows attackers to view fragments of an rdp session screen and nothing else like "take over" anything. It's also not remotely new.

There's a good reason why you see Nvidia or AMD splash logos on game startup. Companies 100% get kickbacks to make demanding games that use the newest hardware

I think the baked-in political biases highlight how not "open source" the weights really are without knowledge of the training data. You can bias these systems however you want to and it's nontrivial or impossible to remove it once it's there.

This is why Nvidia stock has been hit so hard. CUDA is their moat

So anyone with an older or non-nvidia card can just get fucked?

This sounds like an Nvidia monopolistic backroom deal or something. Bet you'll see an Nvidia splash on those games' startup.
