It is a really fragile topic, at least for moldovans and I'd say it is mostly due to ideological reasons. A lot of moldovans do not identify themselves as romanians and this is due to 2 main reasons:

• Lots of them are not romainians, but descendants of relocated russians or other nations from USSR many of which to this date don't speak a word in Romanian;
• USSR cultivated the idea that Moldovans are not Romaninas and that Moldova was there long before Romania (which is a stupid argument as Romania was formed after uniting multiple historical regions including Moldova);

Out of these reasons Moldova had and has a huge debate over the existence of Moldovan language, just recently the constitution was updated stating that the state official language is Romanian. Within Moldova at this point there is the Moldovan dialect which differs a lot from other Romanian dialects, even the Moldovan dialect from within Romania, where Moldovan dialect has a mixture of russian/ukranian words.

I wouldn't trust the 12 years old me to decide a name for myself.

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.

Now they need to make the BIOS updates installable from Linux or ability to flash them from the BIOS. But I like this move, hope more start doing so.

When you claim to have the most advanced army and weapons in the world and still need to ask North Korea for help.

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.

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.

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.

• No encryption by default (you have to start a secret chat to have end-to-end encrypted communication).
• No encryption for group chats and there is no option for secret group chats.
• They store all your chat history on their server and have the keys to decrypt it at any time.
• They have a pretty shitty support, if you need to report a bug or something, you can't easily do that.
• They have a broken testing process for new features, may be pushed to streamline without making sure those work properly. I don't use it as my main communication app but even with rare occasions - the app crashes way too often.

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.

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.

LocalSend is a good tool for sharing files between devices. It is more of a AirDrop alternative.

That would be quite a task. It is wild how many internet services rely on AWS.

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.

Good bot.

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.
