I agree. This style of handling is common in newer NFS games and probably what I miss the most from the older games. I particularly dislike the grip-vs-drift upgrades, especially since drift is mostly “press X to drift”.

That being said, I did find some cars fun to drive in once they’re tuned a little, and I liked that different cars could have significantly different feel, which unfortunately can’t be said about all NFS games, especially the newer ones.

The soundtrack is horrible. An yet, it feels like a masterpiece compared to Unbound’s soundtrack…

I thought the same until I played Heat a couple of years ago. Heat is solid and definitely reminds you of the golden age of NFS with Underground and Most Wanted.

If you don’t want a GUI, dockcheck is an easy way to update many containers at once from the CLI.

Are you using Kitchenowl for storing recipes? If so, what’s your experience with it?

I’ve tried Tandoor, the common suggestion for recipe management, but I’ve found it too clunky to add recipes to. I like the concept, but it would take a long time to move all my recipes into the specific format they use, and the web UI does not make things easier.

I’ve liked the look and feel of Motorola Edge phones for a few generations now and I’d give one a try for a few years—the price point is often good enough that you can justify it for a a few years only, whilst software updates are supported—if it wasn’t for the MediaTek chips. I know people generally praise their performance, but I’m really not confident that they aren’t backdoored.

I’ll start with two new addtions for me:

• Capy Reader (code, F-Droid). While curating my Feedly subscriptions, I decided to try switching to some RSS feeds instead, which I had previously put off because I hadn’t found a client I liked. Capy Reader is excellent both in performance and user interaction, and I find I much prefer reading my sources this way than through Feedly now.
• Readeck (code). Not technically an app, but the website works perfectly well through a mobile browser. A read-it-later service that snapshots web pages and displays them in a friendly, customizable reader mode. The only downside is that it doesn’t cache the full content of the saved pages offline, so you can’t use it without Internet access.

if you regularly switch between espresso and pour over/immersion

I think this is the biggest con of this grinder. The dial does have multiple turns, and you will need multiple turns to go between espresso and filter range. So the problem then becomes keeping track of which range you are in and getting back to the other one. And because the dial doesn’t have very high precision, relatively speaking, it will be hard to get back to the exact point in the other range where you were before.

To me, this would become frustrating quickly. If a small difference in grind setting is fine for filter, I would find that for espresso I have to spend a lot more time dialing in, and, the worst of it , that I would have to re-dial whenever I switch back from filter.

While I think it’s a good grinder for espresso overall, I would personally not get this if I plan to alternate between filter and espresso. I would perhaps look for a grinder without multiple turns, one where getting back to the previous position is easier and more obvious.

Oh, hahaa, I forgot about that! I don’t have a food processor big or sturdy enough, so I just make it by hand. Still works great!

I’ve made several of his dough recipes (no-knead, same-day NY, cold-fermented NY) and they all work really well. No other recipe I’ve tried has been so foolproof.

It seems the users are explicitly making the posts public. I know it’s cool to hate on Meta, but the issue here seems to be more that some people don’t understand the consequences of making public posts on the Internet.

Thanks! What is it about usability that has got worse after the update?

What are some UI aspects that got worse to use after the update?
