Had to do this comparison for a flashlight subreddit.

On the left is your typical $40 FOTM enthusiast high performance flashlight. On the right is my heavily modified headlamp and quite possibly represents the pinnacle of light quality in terms of colour rendering and tint.

The rosy tint is divine and is basically the goal of any...hardcore flashlight enthusiast snob. I feel like the center of a venn diagram where my hobbies are flashlights, electronics repair, and anime body pillows.

I'm guessing your target is something super small. because if you're after some colorimetry fun, there are some cool stuff for photographers. I remember playing with this one for a few minutes and I felt like a kid.


Just put it in your usual big fanny pack that I'm sure you always have on you like all woke people, and it's "ultra portable". Although I'm guessing there is better nowadays. That one is a few years old.





In other news, my Mouse3 does a click and release when I remain clicked!!!! By far the worst event of 2020(what?). I'm going to once again look for left handed stuff for big hands that don't exist, and then purchase one out of the eternal same 3 mice I always get(like the one left handed model from razer) and never feel totally happy about.
Last time I tried a symmetrical logitech but didn't pay attention before I got it. The sensor was off axis so you can sort of track with your index finger and it's intuitive. but for goofy suckers like me... arrrrrghhhhhh.

I've read so many Chinese martial art stuff the last few weeks that I've had dreams about fighting sects, blocked meridians and "sea" of energy. I need to spend less time on that.

Pi-hole here I come!

Still have a Pi-hole mounted right next to my router, but never used it. The things I care to block either don't get blocked or are were way too difficult to chase down, and once in a while there are things that give me loading issues, something my roommate really doesn't appreciate since for him, the internet just doesn't work like normal and he has no understanding or control of it.

Decided to just disconnect it from my setup and just use standard ad blockers on my own devices.

Yeah adblocking for YouTube using Pi-hole seems to be a rabbit-hole.

Ordered a package from Japan on the Friday before last, got tracking info that it was dispatched last Monday. On Thursday last week Japan Post announced a halt to almost all international shipping

Word is it'll be up to 4 months to ship if they don't return the package to the sender.

Covid starting to infringe on my weeb activities, not cool bro!

I just realised that I went to The Verge school of installing RAM sticks, RIP

I did however make use of those holes in the back of the case for LED lighting when the computer is off, so I’ve got that going for me, which is nice

How does that CPU fan work? To me it looks like it's pulling rising hot air from the GPU in the case into the hot CPU. >.>

Like any stock CPU cooler, I suppose. I've got a blower-style GPU that hopefully draws fresh air from the bottom intake fan. If anything it's better than having an open air style card. There are two intake fans at the front of the case and I'm awaiting a second, 140mm exhaust fan to go right above the CPU cooler.

The air coming through the front intakes will be slightly warm after passing the HDDs.

Any suggestions for improvement?

Nice Define case.

I've stopped caring too much about airflow after seeing an old LTT video where they shoved so much into the case just to choke a few degrees out of it.

Don't know if removing the hard drive slides will do anything at all. Personally will leave them in. The few minutes of finding and reinstalling them when a future expansion is needed is already too much of a hassle for me.

If I weren’t a hoarder, I’d get rid of the HDD cage to make way for the AIO cooler.

Gave my old system a new lease of life though. Another doozy; radiator in front intake or top exhaust of the case?

 

[Muinarc]

I'm a fan (ha!) of having the radiators use intake air. It might only save a few degrees, but if you can, why not?

Does Lewis Hamilton make radiators too?

No he's too limp wristed for that. He's never had to put effort into anything in his whole life.

Umm, hello.

I suppose rather than watching sudoku videos on my phone while procrastinating WFH, I might as well come back lol.
