  1. Just a lazy day here, went to sleep too late, in fact fell asleep playing games on my tablet, work had run long, and my usual web surfing ran longer than normal, so this means I didn't get enough sleep, nor was it particularly good. Oh well, first day of my weekend, I'll make it up when I get to it, only need to grocery shop, mow the lawn, do the laundry and accounting. That last one I think I screwed up on last weekend, so overdue bills and stuff likely await.

    So far today we've gone out for breakfast, since I didn't have any rice prepared, and didn't have any potatoes for a substitute side. Not like its the only thing I've run out of, somehow massively miscalculated things, so I ran short on lunch ingredients yesterday. Either way, grabbed breakfast, took care of groceries, then had fun filling tiny libraries in St Charles on the way home, 8 or so libraries, went through two dozen books.

    Might nap, prolly have a pizza for a late dinner (sticking to traditional meal names/times here), might get laundry done. Stuff can just as easily wait until tomorrow, though I do have chiro in the morning. Might get some beads and rubber bands too, also might go buy a small used TV here, basically want something near the second desk for plugging in computers I'm tinkering with that I can also plug the stereo into, and if'n it has enough HDMI ports, use as a third monitor here.

    Got the coffee maker I ordered, and its… Meh. For those didn't see the post, I got a single serve coffee maker that isn't a Keurig. It can use Keurig pods, and technically reusable pods, though they fit as badly here as they do with a standard Keurig, but it also includes a reusable single serve filter. Quality is cheap, brand is non-existent, very reminiscent of a coffee maker you'd get in a hotel room, has auto shut off, but no brew limit, so you only want to put one cup of water in the tank at a time. Mom got me a new Keurig for my whelpday which I'm not sure what I'm going to do with, I mean the old one still works although it doesn't always close fully and sometimes stops brewing early, and the new one works even if'n its cheap (with coupon it only cost $22, what do you expect?), so I don't need a new Keurig… yet.

    Oh, need to fully set up the newish computer, one of Vik's that I'm getting set up to use, gotta clean out Firefox before I connect it to my account so it doesn't cause chaos on my existing computers. Also prolly need to update it at this point. Guess I'll do that after updating this one, as it has kernel updates, so a reboot is required, so we might just leave it powered down, or we might reboot it. I suppose I do need to start cleaning out the computer here, right now I have two POS terminals, an iMac that I need to finish upgrades on, three Lenovo Thinkcentre thin clients, Vik's Macbook, and his Mac mini… I think that's all of them, and there's just one of me, so I should clean the collection out. Oh, and that's just the computers, there's an iPad or two, three Lenovo tablets, and iPhone or two, and lord knows how many Android phones here. If anyone needs some tech, let me know, if you need a new phone and are broke, there's a chance I can help with a chap (sub $100) replacement.

    Figured I'd order one, I mean $21? Ok, cost me $22.22, but close enough. Some how I keep breaking Keurigs using reusable pods, I'm prolly doing something wrong as they never seem to fit right, so this'll solve it, looks like you can use paper filters, the included reusable filter, pods or presumably reusable pods. All the convenience of a Keurig without the waste? Guess we'll find out later in the week as to whether its any good.

  5. An important part of any vehicle service department.

    I always say that a Keurig *can* be better than not having coffee. ☕

    It's company fleet service day for me.

  6. Buy-it-for-life (#BIFL) #coffee makers can save money, reduce waste, brew better
    That $50 drip coffee maker on your counter? Destined for the landfill after a few years of dispensing mediocre coffee
    If you’re using a pod-based system like #Keurig, the effective price of beans is about $30 per pound, two to three times the price of whole beans. By contrast, a $250 machine that lasts 15 years saves about $2,000 over that period, an 800 percent return

  15. Enshitification in retail.

    The same coffee isle before single-use plastic Keurig coffee ‘convenience’ and after.

    If you’re using Keurig you don’t give a fuck about the planet.

    As per #alttext on pic-2, energy- and processing-wise, far more package than product.

    Note as well how competition has taken a backseat to coddling brand giants looking to destroy the competitive market.

  19. when life - or an Airbnb - doesn't give you a pot to boil water, convert an "Instant Solo" Keurig clone into a pourover brewer.

    a Melitta-style brewer will fit, just fold the filter back. and… it works.

  21. I bought a near top of the line #Keurig a few months ago, and it’s already broken. The quality on Keurig products has fallen so far. It’s embarrassing how bad they’ve become.

    I replaced it with a $10 coffee maker, which works better, because I can make more than one cup at once if I want. And coffee grounds are half the cost of Keurig pods.

    As part of the settlement, #Keurig will be fined $1.5 million for false statements the company made TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO. They’ve been trading on (and profiting from) those false statements for TWENTY-FIVE YEARS and will, only now, have to cough up a paltry $1.5M.

    What a farce. The whole boardroom will be laughing themselves to sleep for a month, on big stacks of money. We need to pack the regulatory agencies in addition to the court.

  25. I thought that #Keurig cup said dark #coffee, not dark cocoa. One of these days I'll lean to read more then just the first few letters of words.

    And I can't dump it & get more, it involves walking by people in offices with doors open. Scary. They might judge me.

  26. Say it with me...
    Network vulnerability!!!

    A quick story/rant.. my cousin got my mother a new coffee maker. I don't expect my mom to use the WiFi functionality, but I'm still concerned about why we would need a whole coffee maker to have a small computer in it... I understand the versatility of not having a hub, and that hubs are also a single point of access for any malicious actors, but I'm sure a hub for multiple devices instead of a thing for a coffee maker would be updated much more frequently, and supported for longer.
    If nothing else, maybe I can pull it into my janky Home Assistant setup somehow.

    Even if it doesn't end up being a gateway for snooping on home network, it is quite silly, in my opinion.
    Now, I must go check to see if anyone's hacked at these yet lol...

  29. I apparently 'fake fancy' because my wife & I love our French press every morning. Delicious.

    I also don't think there's anything wrong with Keurig single-serve as long as you make your own cups fresh with your own preferred coffee.

    I've found all prepackaged k-cups to be objectively terrible.
