That’s the spirit. I love a V60 or Chemex, and used to be happy with a quick and dirty aeropress daily in lieu of those, but a super auto makes those redundant very quickly.

Doesn’t need to be a Jura necessarily. I’ve got a budget Magnifica Evo from De Longhi which makes equally good espressos (and thus americanos) as my Jura ENA 8. The difference is in the ease of making milk drinks and some maintenance.

Believe me, the super auto pays for itself very quickly!

I have two of the regular ember mugs for home, and I like them a lot - but I've never really "got" the travel mugs.

It's $200, and they advertise that it can keep your drink hot for up to 3 hours.

A $25 stainless steel Thermos brand travel mug says it will keep your drink hot for 7 hours, just by virtue of being well-insulated.

It looks like the ember travel mug doesn't even have a charger cable jack on it - the ONLY way to charge it is with the charging coaster (like the regular ember mug) - so you can't even keep it "plugged in" during your commute.

Now, will the ember mug be the EXACT right temperature for 3 hours, instead of a gradient from "burning hot" to "warm" like the thermos? Yeah I guess, but it just seems like a huge sacrifice for a tiny benefit.

I understand the comments about the webcam, but honestly if this is price competitive I don’t care.

Dell displays have a reputation for being solid, if a little… chunky, and their included stands are fantastic (and are VESA compatible out of the box). If this is priced even close to a Studio Display (yes I know it’s closer to the XDR in specs) it’ll be a very tempting alternative.

It's not right the card is crashing the PC due to the overheating. The throttling should be as far as it goes.

I'd check the ventilation in your case. Maybe you have all coolers blowing out instead of some in and some out or something. Check the temp in idle and load for the CPU as well. It shouldn't be above 40 when you casually browse. Ideally - under 30. GPU might be hotter, depending on your CPU cooler, but still under 40.

It's possible to reapply the thermal paste on the GPU, but likely one needs to go for water cooling, especially if the case is not well designed for air circulation.

Finally, if you use overclock - disable it. The increase in heat is far larger than increase in performance.
