Oh I just saw that sale, that’s pretty cheap. Have fun with your light as well!

Just 10$? That sounds almost too good to be true. Are they of the same quality?

What do you mean with better batteries? Just ones that are of higher quality than the supplied one?

A light like this does seem useful for power outages and the likes. I don’t have a backup bag or anything, but now that you’re talking about it, I probably should. Maybe not for 72h, but something smaller can’t hurt. I guess I’ll start looking for some other equipment that could be of use.

And yes, the lowest setting is really good. According to the manual, it can last for almost 21 days. And it’s definitely useable at that brightness, too.

Nice to hear that yours still works after 2 years. This thing feels really nice, I hope it will last for decades to come. The battery should indeed never be an issue.

Yeah it looks pretty nice. More or less at least. I would have gone with the green version, but I just couldn’t pass this one up. Just look at it!

It is also rather small, yes. Really a great light for my next adventures.

Thanks for sharing, just tried it out. It seems really well made, especially since its the first version. It even has a built in PDF viewer. Not bad. I might actually replace Material Files with it, which is what I was using until now.

This is a really cool project. Looks pretty convincing at first sight

Yeah, actually starting and going through with it is half the work

Yeah, its absolutely not a space problem. The Samsung S10e has a headphone jack, a SD card slot, and has a 5.8" display. Its way smaller than the vast majority of phones today, yet it has all of these features.

I think we all know the reason apple removed it was because they can sell you the worse product for more.

Having the reader on the back was easily the best spot. The only thing I miss from my old phone.

Maybe give the universal android debloater a try. Its a pretty useful tool.

Oh, I know what you’re talking about. I got a “new” phone a few months ago. Was thinking about either the pixel 4a or Samsung S10e, and went with the latter.

The cool thing is that both of these phones have LineageOS support. I didn’t try it yet, but LOS sounds pretty awesome, I hope that I won’t be disappointed.

What a coincidence. Just yesterday I saw a video about how Mario Galaxy works from a technical perspective, and water was one of the topics.

As it turns out, the water effect was done by manipulating the floor texture with a noise pattern to make it squiggly, and then putting a transparent layer above. It looks pretty good and doesn’t need much processing power.

I just thought that was interesting.

That’s so cool! Will you make a post about it when you’re done?

Awesome to hear that it works on real hardware. It’s so cool to play new mods on decades old consoles.

This is really interesting, thanks for your insight. I don’t really know a lot about cars, but maybe I’ll give it another try one day. I will definitely keep this in mind :)

I know I know, you’re right. This is a rather temporary setup, I plan to arrange the consoles a bit differently so they’re less in the sunlight.

Even now, its just during the evening, and my Gamecube, which is the most susceptible to yellowing, is already kinda yellow unfortunately. Same for the wavebird receiver.

But you’re still right, I should put something over these consoles for now.

Right? It feels like gaming peaked with the 6th console generation. Just a fun time to look back at.

Yeah, having some evening sun shine into a room just gives it a great vibe. I just wish it wasn’t 29°C in here

Anyway, thanks for commenting as well!

That VCR is from my parents, they don’t use it anymore. I don’t really have any tapes for it though.

We had the first 3 Star Wars movies on VHS, which was the reason I set the thing up. Unfortunately, these tapes have somehow disappeared completely, they are nowhere to be found.

So it’s just decoration for now, but I’ll definitley get some other movies one day. Thank you for your comment!

Haha true, but only dust for me, no pets. I guess having carpet doesn’t help either. Let’s just say that it adds to the vibe.
