KitchenAid app REQUIRING precise location to connect appliance to Wi-Fi??

I have a KitchenAid range that I’m trying to connect to my 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network so that I can then integrate it with Home Assistant.

During the Wi-Fi setup process, the KitchenAid app seems to be requiring me to Location Services with Precise Location enabled. If Precise Location is disabled, the app will not complete the Wi-Fi setup. This is a dick move if I'm interpreting this right.

Is there any way I can get this thing to connect to my network without exposing my exact geolocation to the owners of the KitchenAid cloud.

Oaknode firewall box (4x 2.5 GbE and up to 5x NVMe PCIe 4.0)

Anyone own an Oaknode Firewall or NAS? For example this mini NAS 4-ports with update 5 NVMe drives. My one of the 4 NICs on my R2Max recently died so I am looking to replace it and this seems like a good fit.

Breville Bambino Plus coffee cup temperature?

When I measure the temp of the coffee in the cup directly after it comes of out the machine, it is around 155°F ... is this normal or is mine low? This is consistent whether or not I run a blank shot.
