I bought this light a week ago. My overall impression is great satisfaction.

Positives:

I LOVE the beam flexibility. I use flood most, spot second.

The throw in spot mode is great. I feel a reluctance to buy a dedicated throw light because this does the job.

It feels solid in my hand without feeling bulky. The heatsinks and wider lens housing do not feel wide at all.

Neutrals:

The UI is meh. I do not have significant issues using it. I set the brightness I want for the activity then I dont change it for an hour+.

Bonus hidden UI: after you change modes with a hold press, you have again 3s to change the brightness with single clicks. So it is possible to adjust brightness without powering down the light, but feels like a hack not intended use

Negatives:

The included wrist strap has a wimpy attachment string, met with an equally small lanyard hole. I do not trust it with the weight of the light.

When pressing the button while locked, the indicator lights dont show the current battery level. They all blink. Missed opportunity.

Metro series games use bullets as a currency. Theyre small, not easily produceable in the setting, and have inherent value (you can shoot your money at enemies). Great design.

+1!!

I found this guide very inspiring: https://melonking.net/thoughts/lets-make

It focuses on the creativity and self-creation aspect of writing your own websites. The site is quirky but also geniune.

If you drop the "from anywhere" part, you can set up a pihole with a static address that you can use from within your LAN, without any involvement from your ISP.

Read section "Assign your Raspberry Pi a static IP address" of https://www.raspberrypi.com/tutorials/running-pi-hole-on-a-raspberry-pi/

How touching. Let me play a sad tune on Canada's smallest violin. 🥺

Apparently this message used to be common when GDPR first came into force.

Also, I love that the response code is 451. It's meant to replace a generic "404" for content unavailable specifically due to legal reasons. And of course 451 is referring to Ray Bradbury's book of the same name.

I miss the "good web".

We can contribute to making a part of it good again with one of these kinds of sites.

I did my part! It is a fun experience. No JS. No CDN. With a webring.

 

The phone is pretty old, running Android 6. It has 2600.emu on it with the entire catalogue of 2600 games. She remembers playing on her friends' Atari as a kid and some of the games she played so I added those as shortcuts.

I tried several emulation apps: 2600.emu, droid2600, and MAME4Droid. The modern versions of all refused to install. 2600.emu and droid2600 both had an older version that installed. Overall I liked 2600.emu for its better onscreen controls & better paddle control on these specific versions.

It feels nice to repurpose old tech for something "new". It wouldn't be possible without a dedicated community.
