I've started using them almost exclusively, they can be used just like a normal light but they also work really well as a headlamp. Most have a magnetic base which combined with the side output makes them ideal for working on stuff that requires both hands. Normal magnetic lights just mean you have a flashlight pointed at your face.

I have an H300 and it's absolutely amazing if you just ignore the weird charging thing.

We need an A-11 already. Make it stealthy and give it a giant railgun or something. Give the world what it wants: even bigger flying gun.

I used to do some work with Qualcomm and ARM IP. They both need to die. ARM is holding back all manner of technologies with their absolutely insane and byzantine licensing scheme and Qualcomm is one of the most evil tech companies in existence, you just don't hear about them because their particular evil is constrained to B2B interactions.

They better not have changed the fucking pinout again...

Also, Xilinx, get your shit together and release a PCIE 4 capable device in this price bracket already

Would nose or ai generated slop with ai generated titles do more damage to the model?

I smell parallel construction. You expect me to believe a McDonald's employee called in the shooter just off the shitty photos? The chances of that are astronomically low.

He doesn't give me gun nut vibes either...

  • he actually did gray man correctly
  • he probably didn't test fire his gun setup
  • his gun setup was extremely minimalist
  • he seems to have used a Temu fuel filter sort of suppressor instead of assembling one with a booster (no it wasn't a fucking welrod lmao)

The gun part feels a bit like an afterthought that he spent a couple nights googling on and then threw together. The fact that he's eluded capture for so long on the other hand suggests that's where he put all his effort. I'd bet he's probably an intelligence/cyber security/IT/SWE professional with an axe to grind and less to lose than he should.

To add to this, a lot of what keeps us safe is the friction of bureaucracy. Authoritarians cannot micromanage every decision you make or round up every person they want because those actions take time and resources that aren't infinite. But you can reduce the time and resources required if you make identification more convenient and therefore enforcement more targeted. Maybe now they can justify making you present ID every time you pay cash at Starbucks, buy a backpack, get on a bus, use a bike share, watch hot snuff porn, you name it.

I wonder if the algorithm picked up on people talking about UHC frequently talking about Peak Design and decided to play those ads...

Based on all the Arma footage already in the news I thought this was always the plan...

They're the data carrying lines, if you cut them it'll still charge, but no USB data can use the port.
