My iPhone 4S went for a swim before phones were generally waterproof and the screen backlight went out and the camera light stayed permanently on. I used the blind assist mode with the phone for a few months and even took photos totally blind. Eventually the backlight came on again and I could use the phone totally normal. Finally killed it falling out of my pocket 150’ up while rock climbing. Great phone though.

I liked your take. I enjoyed the setting and writing very much so I was willing to put up with fine but bland gameplay.

Maybe I have a different revision than you. Both of my Tac AA and Rider RX have probably 150-250ms of lag after clicking the switch to when the light actually emits light.

The dual fuel and 14500 size is what got me to buy this. I don’t really like the input lag on the switch which is unusual for a “tactical” light but it’s a great size and shape for EDC, albeit the clip ramp could have been made smoother. Altogether this is a great light to carry if you need to be able to source batteries “in the field” as AAs are so commonplace.

Layoffs are unpopular so companies are tightening the belt by making the working conditions less hospitable.

Return to office is designed to have employees leave willingly so they can reduce headcount without making employees feel unsafe about budget cuts.

What they don’t seem to care is top performers are the ones most able to move to another job with better working conditions.

With a trim at the bottom by letting go of low performers and encouraging top performers to leave they are just trending toward mediocrity.

Link? Haven’t heard of this one

You can normalize preferred pronouns by declaring them when you introduce yourself. Eg. I’m Barry and my pronouns are he/him. That’s being a good ally.

If you get someone’s pronoun wrong, it’s no big deal as long as you don’t keep pushing it. They can correct you and you should just use their pronoun after. The most important thing is to use the correct pronoun once told.

You can also ask if a person you have just met has preferred pronouns.

Based on the size of the connector a tear down is going to show a rather complicated board for a “simple” adaptor. Because the Lightning port is designed to be reconfigured on the fly depending on the accessory plugged in and not a single dumb bus protocol like USB2.0 the chip in this cable needs to be able to talk in HDMI and some other standards.

Fun fact: while Lightning was originally designed around being a reversible USB2.0 connector because of the dynamic reconfiguration of the reversible sides at the port it is capable of speaking in native USB3.0 on all of the pre-Usb-C iPad pros.

The price is reasonable for what it is, honestly, but very few people will actually need to buy one.

The DT8 is a marvel. I love the shape and design.

Yes, I think so. The main screen just shows recently played, favorites, or games by console, plus a launcher to go into the RetroArch configuration. As long as they are shown to stay out of that menu, the rest is very simple and clearly described/illustrated.

Good eye, it’s actually the newer Emisar D4K which takes a 21700 battery but maintains the same head size as the 18650 powered D4v2. The raised button is a huge game changer for me!

They also now make the D4v2 in a 2 channel variant (two sets of different LEDs) and the D4K just became available in a 3 channel variant!

This was one of my favorite games growing up. I never understood why this was considered the sequel to Bubble Bobble, but loved it all the same.

Hank is a real gem. I am amazed at his customer service and willingness to take custom orders.

1m sounds like an amazing deal to buy a president

These look absolutely amazing.

However at a starting price of $6k it’s a tough pill to swallow. Can’t wait for more bikes like this to make it to mainstream and drive the price down of roadie style e-bikes.

That deeper textured reflector is really nice. Clean beam and smooth transition but plenty of throw. If you don’t mind the narrower field of view, it’s quite a versatile beam for near and far.

I just put one together like yours but with 519a and the new buck driver!

Nice setup. I’ve always felt the S6 was classy and criminally underrated. I didn’t even know the 18350 Ti tubes dropped!

Agreed on the switch being a little hard to press compared to most. I think the upside is that reverse clickies for whatever reason tend to be far more durable/reliable over time especially at high amperage, so I can’t complain too much about it. Plus of all the lights I own I’d trust that the Hoku Clicky will never turn on accidentally in my pocket.

I forgot to mention: I have mine set up for 4 steady modes starting with moonlight plus disco modes. (ML - 2% - 25% - 100% - Strobe - Beacon | No Memory)

On the M150, it’s possible to desolder the RPP. Can you do that on the H150 as well?
