I don't think it will work for a monitor like that due to the rounded webcam, it needs a flat surface to clamp to. I think it would work with the more integrated style of webcam monitor like the LG 27MD5KL-B.

For my setup I have an external webcam sitting on top of the light bar.

Sean here, author and EM of the recon team at Modern Treasury. I completely agree, we us AI to surface suggestions to users during manual review so there's full transparency and human confirmation at every step. Our automatic recon doesn't use LLMs for the reasons you outlined.

Thanks for the detail on your experience. I have a semi-automatic Breville and love it but I see where you’re coming from. At the end of the day it’s about finding the method that works for you. The Jura sounds like an awesome choice for my parents who like you don’t want the hassle of the manual espresso.

I know some folks who love Folgers made in a coffee pot. It wouldn’t be my first choice but it shouldn’t be compared to single origin espresso, it’s just a different drink with its own pros and cons.

I agree that there are quirks of the ACH system. Thankfully banks are very risk averse and do thorough vetting before allowing merchants to initiate debits. As a consumer you have a 60 day window to initiate a return, this can be done by reaching out to your bank. Returns are a first class entry in the ACH world, so much so that they are the reason a lot of merchants don’t like ACH.

I recently finished my lease from ford and found it to be decent from a cost perspective, primarily because I am foreign (no loan history) and financing rates were very high at the time. I bought the car outright at lease end for the agreed amount (residual value), I could have easily handed it back and walked away. This level of optionality is awesome imo. Be careful however, the financing terms of a lease agreements can be difficult to digest and some companies like Tesla do not allow you to purchase at the end [1]

I use velcro cable ties to keep each cable in a tidy loop. I then put the cables in large slider lock bags depending on their category (charging, data, misc). It's also good to donate duplicates, most cables are cheap to purchase so keeping multiple of any one type isn't worth it.
