I had something similar happen.
We have an eufy outdoor camera that started to only last 1 day after charging as if the lithium battery was needing replacement and the camera would just say "offline" in the app. Word on the interweb is that you're not going to get at the battery but there are two screws on the back so let's start there said I. I extracted the first screw and my wife exclaimed at that moment, "It's back!" - no kidding. And furthermore it says it's fully charged so I took it back it it's station on the porch.

Interesting. I recently bought a couple of a Eufy cameras. Haven’t had the battery issue yet. I’ll try to remember your note if it happens.
But I did find that if I blocked them from internet access (limited them to LAN only) they’d go offline within an hour or so.

I have that effect. People have problems with their computer/phone/printer/whatever, I show up, ask them to demonstrate the problem, and it just starts working...

Me too. The very same effect. On other peoples machines.
My own machines, are the opposite. They, really, really, love to infuriate me.

That too.

This does not apply to my own however.

Ha, same here with the wifey. She'll have a problem with something
on her computer and when I come down and try it it works just fine.
She swears she'd did exactly the same thing I did (yeah right!).

One of my colleagues has the opposite effect. You'll be testing a device, everything's going smoothly, you think you're done... then this person inevitably walks up and touches something, *KABOOM* something breaks. This person is now our 'acid test' prior to release.

I had a coworker from the QA department like that. I was just getting started as a dev, and in hindsight, he probably made me a better programmer, as he would inevitably force me to expect the unexpected.

In the 1980's I programmed in the real Babbage language on GEC 4000 computers at Manchester University and Daresbury Laboratory and thought "I don't remember that!", but the article you referenced is clearly a spoof!

The two languages are completely independent of each other. The name coincidence it nothing but a conincidence.
(Note that even 'your' Babbage language has taken its name from somewhere else )

How fine do you grind your coffee grounds for american coffee? I'm curious to know how other people do it, as I have very little experience with that coffee making process.
I use coarse for french press, midway between coarse and fine for moka, ultrafine for turkish but I never know how to grind it for american.

I just set my bean to cup machine to "finest grind" and leave it there.

I tried with a fine grind yesterday and it seems it improved the taste quite a bit, I will sample better when not sleepwalking.

Greetings Kind Regards
By American do you mean Americano? If so from a video I just now learned it is an espresso poured into a cup of water. So presumably the grind is that of an espresso. By the way perhaps this site may be of use Coffee ad Astra[^] If not Americano may I inquire the meaning. The method of brewing I am most familiar wtih is "Cowboy".

That's an Americano if you ask it in Italy. I'm referring to the drip coffee machines so common in the USA.

The only thing I hate about cowboy is that when you get older and into what you're doing you forget and take that last gulp and end up with a mouth full of grit.

I always strain w/ metal strainer though plenty of grit remains but I've been successful in avoiding consuming it. Unfortunately I have yet to figure out how to strain w/ a paper filter as it always clogs. Some many months ago the paper filters did the trick. I do not know what changed. The result was a smoother flavor. Also according to Harvard drinking filtered coffee results in a lower rate of death. I am not certain such is to be preferred as it may be preferable to get to the big coffee house in the sky in an expeditious manner once your number is called.

I do not believe he would do it in any way as it is well documented he drank wine.

So? Many people drink wine and coffee, though not usually at the same time...
