The model in question has metal screw bosses.

That's pretty cool. I wish more devices had brass inserts. I kinda hate the idea of screwing into plastic. Anyway, do whatever you feel you need. I don't think it'd get loose even with daily usage, but I might be wrong.

What does that solve? Isn't the whole purpose of a threadlocker to keep the screw in place? I can imagine that plastics are soft enough that they keep the screws in place on their own. As far as I know, and from my own experience, there's been no trouble with screws loosening over time in those consoles, so I don't know how adding threadlocker would help.

Overtightening screws does that. Plus, transparent plastics tend to be more brittle, so you have to be more careful. Been re-shelling some gameboys and the exact issue cropped up with shells cracking at the screw holes. Guy I follow on youtube recommends screwing them all the way then loosening them a quarter of a turn. Might help lessen the stress.

Not the person you've replied to, but I've got a Roborock Q7 Max. It's cheap and relatively simple. It's got a LIDAR and proximity sensors, but no obstacle avoidance or stair/cliff detection and no camera. From what I can see it's also silent (no network activity) even though it's bound to my WiFi. After months of using it I'd say its been a great choice to splurge on. Never had one, never thought I'd need one, but after seeing dust settling on every bit of the floor every day... I got tired of sweeping.

Exactly this. You'd be surprised how much dust it can collect. After a week or two in my small home it can easily collect a fistful of dust, and that's just from me alone.

I hear you. There's always Valetudo. Get yourself a supported vacuum and install Valetudo whenever you feel the need. Had my robot for half a year but haven't come around to doing it just yet. Maybe after its warranty runs out.

If you're running it in docker you can just check the logs, I do it like this: docker compose logs -f lemmy, and see if you have requests from any instance in the log stream. For me it goes pretty fast, but you can always ctrl+c to exit and scroll up to see what you've missed. Might not be the most optimal way, but it works for me.

Had to replace my UPS battery just a few days ago after a power outage reminded me that a replacement was well overdue. I share your feeling, now I can sleep knowing a power blip won't knock out my servers and mess up my data.

Yea, true, water reservoir, top part where coffee gathers, coffee basket, gasket and a filter. No I don't use soap as you said, only water. I guess I'm just lazy, and doing it in the morning when I'm short on time, playing around with a hot pot is kinda not the thing I'd like to do. That's why I use a phin most of the time, as it's just a thin and light piece of steel, and it cools off really quickly, easy to clean and no need to worry about corrosion and sum such. To be honest I'd have to try how it'd work out, as I never used it day to day. I always had this notion that a moka pot, being made out of aluminium, doesn't like to sit in water. I don't know for sure how true it is, but to be on the safe side I always rinsed it thoroughly and wiped it dry. Maybe I was overdoing it?

Same, my 3tz takes 18 grams. Also taking it off is kinda tricky cause of thermal inertia. Pot is still hot enough to boil the water after taking it off the heat, but that might be due to its higher mass. Anyway, experiment, making coffee is fun.

Had to come back home from work. I guess calling it "intense" would be appropriate. I've missed the coffee fountain, the bubbles and the thick black coffee that this method produces. What I don't miss is the waiting and watching, cause it won't turn itself off when it's done, and the eventual hassle of cleaning the pot and all its parts every time I want a coffee. Oh well, nature of the beast I guess. Still, worth going through it when one craves a strong cup of coffee.

Ohh, haven't done that in forever. Now I miss making coffee this way. I guess I'll dust off my pot today, see if it still brews good.
