What is a good low budget espresso machine? (Or what are signs to look for in a cheap espresso machine that indicate quality?) - Lemmy.World
Over the past few years I’ve gotten a small handheld blade grinder, an
Aeropress, a French Press, and started roasting my own beans. The problem is
that while some changes stick (like the grinder and the bean roasting), some
changes just take up space (I usually use my Mr. Coffee over the Aeropress or
French Press). With that in mind, I’m looking for an espresso maker that is low
budget, since I may not use it that often; but is still nice enough that I’m not
going to hate espresso making because the machine is bad (ie: low pressure, low
heat, leaks, etc). Most espresso makers I’ve seen are a few hundred to a
thousand USD; but since I’m worried I may end up almost never using it (or just
using it to froth hot chocolate), I’m looking for one that’s around 100 USD or
less. While I expect you all have loftier targets for your espresso machines
than that, I am hopeful if you don’t have any specific recommendations you can
tell me what signs to look for that an espresso machine is of decent quality.

Is Liftoff safe regarding the libwebp exploit? - Lemmy.world
I recently saw an article
(https://stackdiary.com/heap-buffer-overflow-in-libwebp-cve-2023-5129/
[https://stackdiary.com/heap-buffer-overflow-in-libwebp-cve-2023-5129/]) that
said WEBP images could be a huge security hole right now and I know Lemmy uses a
lot of WEBP images. I’m not sure how long this has been known, so maybe the
Liftoff devs already took care of it. Does anyone know if Liftoff has already
made the necessary patches?

What are cheap phones with good cameras? - Lemmy.world
I’m thinking about getting a phone just to use as a camera but I don’t want to
spend too much on it since that’s basically my only use for it. I also
considered buying a low(ish) cost digital camera, but I’m planning on using the
timer feature a lot. This means I really want a camera that is very “hand-holdy”
so it can take good quality pictures without needing to see the
screen/viewfinder/etc, which is why I thought a used phone might be a good
option. What are some cheap phones that have good quality cameras and camera
software that don’t necessarily need to have a strong processor or other
flagship features?
