High Sierra shower heads are awesome. Installed them in each of our bathrooms. Feels like a rain shower, with more pressure then our previous stock shower head while still saving water. Win-win. They also manufacture them in small town in the foothills of the Sierra mountains which is a pretty cool fact.

Yeah they can improve their UX all they want but since their co-founder is part of DOGE and wants to mess with social security, it makes choosing alternatives easier.

He’s more of a meat popsicle

The cafe offers both methods using the same bean of the day so that leads me to believe it’s the process.

I think it’s due to the slightly more active extraction of dripping water but I don’t want to pretend like I fully know so I’ll defer to what I’ve read online.

There’s a cafe I go to that has a tower and I find Kyoto cold brew tastes better (notes are more prominent) and is noticeably smoother than regular cold brew.

You could argue it’s marginal, but the same could be said for spending thousands on grinders and espresso machines versus a $100 machine and $20 grinder. Everyone’s going to value their workflow differently.

I’m a fan of Kyoto cold brew and am thinking of getting a tower so I can brew it at home in the summer.

But I also just got a lever espresso machine so that’ll probably keep me busy for a while.

Thanks for this. I’m using mainly Firefox to support alternatives to webkit/blink based browsers but the new ToU makes me a bit apprehensive about the direction they’re going.

I also had been test driving Falkon from KDE but will look into these as well.

yeah, I’m actively avoiding products that tout AI. It’s a worse experience and my data gets used to train some model for some company’s enrichment.

Apple Intelligence too. Thankfully you can still disable it

Yep, did the same. Started using Tuta for email, solid privacy and UI, app available on F-Droid, and the bonus for me was them being powered by renewables.

The language in the tweet was telling, i.e party of the “little guys” and tagging the president for visibility. You can’t turn a blind eye to all the other destabilizing things this admin is doing just because they made 1 semi-competent cabinet pick (which should be the baseline expectation).

After digging around, I’m going to try Tuta for email/calendar and Mullvad for VPN. Tuta’s €3 plan lets you have 15 additional addresses and 3 custom domains.

Anyone using a good proton drive alternative?

You can still cancel your subscription so that it won’t auto-renew in 2 years and it let’s you leave a comment when doing so if you want to voice any concerns.

Filing for bankruptcy in Delaware where they were incorporated

I was hoping their truck or lifestyle vehicle would make it to market, but yeah they had a steep hill to climb with all the turmoil surrounding the company, scaling production, and the change in political winds now being essentially hostile to EV manufacturers.

In August, Canoo moved its headquarters from Torrance, Calif., to Justin, Texas — asking 137 of the office’s 194 employees to relocate, while cutting the remaining staff.

Moving wasn’t going to save the company so why uproot your employees only to fold 5 months later

I appreciate my 12 yr old car for this reason. Also, physical buttons I can hit without taking my eyes off the road

I’m a big proponent of buying local whenever possible. This plus something similar for physical products is really useful no matter where you live.

I feel this. Getting tired of living through historical events.

Same, the physical camera button and 3.5mm headphone jack on the Xperia are awesome

That’s refreshing to see in a world of ever increasing enshittification. Wish more companies move in this direction.
