Got the Aiden last week. I'm sort of happy with it, but with several annoyances, the chief one being the big gap between the water output I select and what actually ends up in the pot.

I know that some water loss is normal from absorption, but I'm getting 14-16% less than what I select. For example, I tried to brew a 500ml pot so that I could have 3 small 150ml cups. Instead, I ended up with 420ml in the pot. I open the top after brewing to see where the water went, and I'm greeted with a cloud of steam and a gush of unused water pouring out of the showerhead.

Is this the normal, expected experience? For a "precision" brewer, I was not expecting to have to set my output 40-80ml higher than what I actually want, especially since Hoffmann praised it for being very precise in how much water it outputs. It's clearly not just absorption, but also a bunch of water being left in the showerhead somehow.

Is this normal?

Edit: seems to be a combination of absorption and about 12-16ml of water getting stuck in the showerhead. Guess I just need to up the output by 20ml to account for this.

Edit 2: Lance Hedrick's review explicitly shows the issue, with trapped water spilling out of the showerhead upon opening. I still love the Aiden, it is absolutely the best drip machine ever made, but it's sad to see the same reddit hivemind problem that convinced me to buy the far more disappointing Baratza ESP, where every complaint is simply downvoted to oblivion so that nobody ever hears of even the most minor of issues with a product. Overall though, very happy with the Aiden. Just wish people wouldn't take personal offense at bringing up documented issues that even experts have complained about.

I've had my iPhone 17 for two months now. During the first 2-3 weeks, it would get hot all the time and would need to be charged after 8 hours of use, but eventually it leveled out and was cool all day and would last until 10pm.

Abruptly, in the last week, my phone is now suddenly getting quite hot for absolutely no reason, even when not using apps. I was at 100% just over an hour ago, and now after listening to a podcast and music on the way to work and looking up one thing on Amazon I'm at 91% and my phone is hot just sitting on my desk untouched.

I updated to 26.5.1 a few weeks before this started. I have AI turned off, fetch off, all the usual tricks. Everything was working fine until suddenly it's just hot all the time and needs to be charged by 4-5pm again.

It appears Safari is somehow using an obscene amount of energy despite barely being used. On screen for 22 minutes today but used 5%. Yesterday Safari had somehow used 40% even though I was browsing and watching youtube on a different browser app. Is Safari just busted or what?

I've never had such intense buyer's remorse with an iPhone before. It's one problem after another.
