@pimoore a cheap plastic Melitta 1-cupper that cost me like $10 and a #2 cone filter ;) I was a coffee snob for years but to be honest none of the fancy stuff makes a cup any better than that cheap plastic thing I have. It's all about the beans and the grind. I do have a very nice Oxo gooseneck kettle tho.
@pimoore only way I do it now. I'm the only one in the house who drinks coffee so every morning I grind some beans and do a 1-cup pour over. Great cup every time and it's a nice ritual.
@crossingthethreshold very nice! My daugher goes to collge in NYC so I stayed there on my first time to NYC as a treat. Loved it. And honestly price-wise wasn't really that much more than any other decent hotel in the city.
@crossingthethreshold did you stay there? I stayed for several days back in Dec of last year. Beautiful hotel!
@jack oh and sorry for the bluntness of what i wrote initially. reread and it sounded kinda...dickish. That was not intended! just sharing my views heh.
@jack couple of things...the backup thing should only happen once. Ive only ever had it happen right after installing/reinstalling. the upgrades....well they happen whether you like it or not which is annoying as hell but so far its not been an issue for me. i actually prefer it to being bugged. (I have tried to block it with Little Snitch with limited success). What I do worry about is what happens when the trash that is the beta comes out for Apple Silicon as a release. At that point I will seriously have to rethink the whole thing unless they make some big strides. Its that bad.
Oh and sync has always been on point for me as well. their dupe detection, block-level copy, etc. is awesome. nobody else has been doing that that I'm aware of (at least the big contenders).
@jack @pimoore @pratik interesting take and one I don't agree with. the dropbox client on Mac got better, not worse. they removed a bunch of crap from it like the Paper support and that desktop thing they kept pushing. and as always its rock solid on syncing, there isn't anyone better to this day. Are you actually having a problem with the sync?
That said, if you installed the beta with Apple Silicon support it's a mess and I blame Apple more than anyone else for that. ALL of the sync clients suck with Apple's mandated use of the File Provider API and removing the ability to use kernel extensions.
Google Drive, the pre-Apple Silicon version, is a bit odd but works and I've not ever had a problem with the sync there either but its nowhere near as good as Dropbox and resource usage-wise not any better.
@Archimage touché 🤣
@pimoore I expect at some point they will. Right now I don't think the device as the CPU power or the storage for that, mostly the storage. And yes I agree on the iPad. I really, really wish Apple would put the Health app on the damned iPad already.
