Really resisting the urge to get new flashlights lately. But if it’s for free… I can make an exception! Joining the giveaway :)

To each their own :) just be mindful of the risks of distraction

[–] Etnaphele@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

None. I really think distractions like a movie lead first to bad form and skewd rest time, and maybe to injury. Obviously this doesn’t apply to indoor cardio…

This is a great write up! I would add that also the more affordable lenses nowadays are really sharp and much better optically than anything previous. More money gets mostly just more light gathering capability and water and dust proofing.

I think this applies to tablets but bezels on a phone are pretty useless.

I think Silca is what you want. But I don’t know if you want to pay for it :D

Talking of surprise: I was ready to return our not-yet-dispatched MacBook Air (orderer on 20th October) as it only had 8GB and… they updated the product to 16GB! That’s neat, now I get why the delivery time was longer than expected.

Always the same, push to the outside and force the other driver to crash or bail. Usually with a net “advantage” gained, over and over the same unsportsmanlike tactic. It’s really a pity that one of the fastest drivers is unable to compete fairly and is just not fun to watch.

And the Verstappen Move strikes again 🕺

Nice and thoughtful video, thanks for sharing! But he calls out two tweets of him, saying that Hubermann probably doesn’t really think that way, so saying he is a clown is perhaps a bit much? I enjoy his podcast a lot, but I fully get the point that Strong Medicine makes. Nevertheless, Hubermann gives a lot of very nicely packaged advice, on how to tweak here and there to get a bit more from one’s everyday life - but those tweets are really horrendous I must say

You mean the iPad standalone and purely touch interface or with attached keyboard and mouse? Pretty sure that - with physical keyboard - Cmd+T opens a tab with focus on address bar, but I don’t have my iPad with me right now to test this

 

Since I discovered RAW Power thanks to Lemmy and used it happily since, I thought I post the availability of this more advanced app recently released. With the uncertainty around Affinity Photo after the Canva acquisition, maybe it of interest to some :)

Hullo! Begging pardon in advance for the missing beamshots, here a couple of pictures of the latest buys:

  • FireflyLite NovMu V2 with Nichia E21A 4500K R9080 in Fossil Grey
  • FireflyLite X1L Elite with Cree XHP70.3 HI 4500K CRI 90 in black HAIII

Build quality and LEDs are just awesome, they aren’t cheap but feel very premium. Feel free to ask any questions!

I’ll try to get some beamshots if anyone is interested, I’m still not sure on the right place and setup.

 

Hullo! I just wanted to make aware of the latest updates on one of the newest Fireflylite flashlights, the X1L Elite (I am in no way affiliated with them and read the most info on Reddit, but it would be nice to kickoff a discussion on it here too).

Yesterdays update includes these 3 emitter choices:

  • CREE XHP50.3 HI 5000K CRI90 2600lumens 120 000cd
  • CREE XHP70.3 HI 6500K CRI70 3500lumens 84 000cd
  • CREE XHP70.3 HI 4000K CRI90 2600lumen 62 000cd

It's very strange that the 70.3 HI 4000K would output the same lumes as the 50.3: I asked them and Ivy (the sales representative of Fireflylite) says it's because it's the low bin K2, if someone were interested.

There is as of now just one review by ZeroAir but it is expected that at least two other reviews will come out soon.

I hope some of you find this interesting, I personally find the 4 new models that are slowly coming out of preorder beautiful and with solid specs.

What are your thoughts? Did you preorder the X1L or other new gen FFL flashlights?

 
  • Keychron Q8 Pro
  • Gazzew U4Tx + a couple of Kailh Box Navy switches
  • MTNU Beige keycaps (lovely new profile, GMK made double-shot PBT, expensive - even more due to Colemak)

I bought the keyboard immediately when I found out they made a BT version of the Q8 (I use a Q10 daily at the office), as I was looking for an iPad compatible one. Very happy with it!

 

Just wanted to share the link to the livestream of the designer Matt3o looking at the first batch of the MTNU keycaps. They are made by GMK out of PBT, with double shot legends. The profile has been developed by Matt3o and GMK as a Cherry-height spherical angle shape. First batch is currently shipping out and has the WoB, Beige and Susu colorways.

I find it really interesting and I don’t think I read anything here regarding this.

Hullo together! I finally got to order my first iPad (Pro 11")! I'm a long time MacBook and iPhone user and do a little photography now and then. On the Mac, I use Olympus OM Workspace to import and decode the RAW files. They go as TIFF files in Affinity Photo for the actual editing - I find the ORF engine in Affinity much worse than the "official" Olympus one.

Affinity Photo for iPad is a thing, but:

  • importing directly could mean use an inferior RAW engine (I don't think Olympus has native iPad software for that - can the iPad even handle ORF files?)
  • The V2 release was really lukewarm and I still use the V1 on my Mac. I am a bit skeptical of the software house in the long run, but I'd love to be proven wrong!

Now, do you have suggestions on how to handle an editing routine on iPad and which software to use, ideally without subscription costs?

The edited and finished photos are usually saved in Files and imported in Apple Photos for iCloud storage.

Thanks in advance!

Interesting interview from my go-to cycling podcast. Nice and unexpected episode!

 

I found a very good - albeit not perfect because of the bead-blasted finish - match for my Reylight Pineapple Mini Ti! Such a small, light and useful package, and in my eyes really beautiful! What do you think?

Follow up from this post: https://lemmy.world/post/1378724

 

Hullo! Does anyone have experience with the GRVL line of Decathlon bikes? The most concerning component they use are the hydro-mechanical brakes, TRP HY/RD. To me they almost seem the worst of both worlds, so to say. What do you think? How would they compare to the GRX 400? Thanks in advance and keep pedaling!

 

I ride very seldom lately - I really savor each time I do!

The target is to match look and size of a Reylight Pineapple Mini Ti.

Thanks in advance!
