I recently posted about how to extract your @evergreenminer plots from the Evergreen platform, which has suffered issues with performance and support over the past few months.

It's sad to see them go this way, but I'm trying to help their customers.

rsts11.com/2025/03/14/wha… @Evergreenminer It looks like the Evergreen service is running on autopilot for the most part now, and the company is in the process of an asset sale, so it looks like no more RMAs or hardware orders will be fulfilled.

If you're waiting on new orders, file a chargeback with your credit card Image

A customer service story with a happy ending, starring @AeroPress

Aeropress, the coffee press from the flying ring people in Palo Alto, came out with their fourth[1] design in 18 years, the Aeropress XL. ( - not an ad link) https://t.co/lU6rWuoQKIaeropress.com/products/aerop…
Image @AeroPress I've been using the original Aeropress for over a decade, with three or four in my pantry (clear and tinted), and a couple in boxes for gifts in my office.

I got the Aeropress Go (3 cup version) recently too. Image

So the upside (if it can be called that) to Excess Solutions closing last week is that they had a week or so of half-off-everything.

Didn't get deals like the half-off-everything year at the previous location, but I did find this at about the cost of a power adapter. It's a @cradlepoint AER1650 router.

I've been a Cradlepoint user on and off for quite a while - I have a MBR1000, MBR1200, and MBR1400 around. They made great cellular failover/load balancing routers that used to be sold at retail (Fry's etc), but now are more commercial.

I'm not sure which seems less likely, that anyone in the general public would have access to allegedly-confiscated servers, that they would know what to do with the data, or that this sort of data would exist on such servers.

My guess is each has a probability of 0.00000000000% I haven't seen any reliable sources to back up the confiscated server story yet, much less that data was extracted from those alleged servers, or released to anyone...
