Ascaso Steel Duo (The future is behind Thermoblocks)
  • In the European market, it is priced similarly to a Lelit Bianca, which is the end game budget. The Silvia Pro X is about 400€ and the Elizabeth can be found for 900€ less, both new.

    To me it seems that the pricing is just not right. And understand that I am not the target audience for this kind of machine.

  • For me, even the dual boiler is not worth it. A machine with a working PID (that has the offset documented and you can set it, not via vague presets) and you are set and properly equipped. Everything above are nice to have but unnecessary.

  • Hey everyone, most likely you already saw this review of the Ascaso.

    I was wondering, are the thermoblock really that good? Or it's just a paid Ad?

    Seems quite a lot of money, and I remember someone mentioning that it is still not very stable in terms of temperatures. Also in the review, it does not show the greatest results.

    In that price range it competes with Silvia Pro X and in some markets with Lelit Elizabeth. What are your takes on this one? Curious to discuss.

    Telegram founder and CEO alledges signal has backdoors, they don't provide reproduceible builds, etc.
  • You need some loops to jump through to get there. But that can be achieved for Signal as well, if you check the discussions regarding reproducible builds for Signal's iOS client, you'll see that people just decided it is not worth the hassle to push it through.

    My initial experiments with Gaggia Classic Pro Evo
  • Here is an article about the issue: Boilergate

    You can check yours by running some water via the steam wand, if you find any small black grinds in the cup, that is the coating peeling.

    My initial experiments with Gaggia Classic Pro Evo
  • Did you check if it has the flaking issue? I bought one a week ago and it already has flakes through the steam wand. Seems like Gaggia is ignorant of the issue.

  • MDM can be configured in 2 modes, one with company owned devices and one with bring your own device. But there are lots of settings that can be done, usually it is configured with work and personal profiles and the work one has all the restrictions in place and the personal has no limits. Maybe just some device features can be also enforced, like forbid the OEM unlock and ADB.

    What's the deal with posting images from imgbb?
  • Just found the post from someone having the same issue a week ago. It's odd there is nowhere specified this list of blacklisted hosting services.

  • Got my account banned because I posted a photo that I uploaded to imgbb.com with the reason being "blacklisted URL".

    whatever convinces people that its a bad idea
  • If it is advertised well, it will be the same as with smartphones nowadays. Companies won't plant chips into human brains, people will pay to have chips planted into their brains and pay even more for yearly upgrades.

  • Most of these companies have no real values. Revenue and money is their only value, if you can make the biggest profits by trading with terrorists, this will become their business plan.
