It goes without saying that you should change your passwords immediately. Do you use the same password for multiple things? If so, stop that.

Jokes aside, that isn't really the case. Most folks think of the European honeybee when they think of bees, when there are actually many other species of bees native to different parts throughout the world that humans don't farm for honey. Native bee populations are REALLY important to the environment, and so are native wasp populations. Wasps play an important role in the environment because they also pollinate native plants. Don't hate on wasps, they're really important!

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

Hit it.

Shaking my mouse "Haha this is so cool, look at it get bigger!" Continues shaking until the cursor takes up a quarter of my screen "Dear God what have I done."

It's not only for the children's sake but also for the adults. Adult spaces are adult spaces meant for adults. Adult spaces bring people peace of mind when they know there won't be children around because they won't need to worry about a child's needs or behavior (and children can sometimes behave terribly). Having spaces that are child-free also mean adults can enjoy sharing in sensitive topics that children should not be privy to.

That is disgusting. 'nuff said.

What's figma?

I read through the update but I'm not quite sure what this means for Valve or Arch Linux. Can users expect better compatibility with hardware and software for gaming? Will this affect other distros or only Arch?

For a moment I thought this was a ham radio sub, not Lemmy Shitposting lmao

Beam from S1R Baton II. Very green tint with terribly washed-out colors.

Beam from Rovyvon A23 (Nichia 219C). Accurate colors, beautifully-neutral tint.

I've got a lot to get rid of, but I am at least going to keep that orange S1R Baton II because it's the light that got me into the hobby. It was my first "real" flashlight, and I was super impressed with how bright such a tiny light could shine :)

As a Proton user? Definitely.

$95 on a flashlight and then $50 to have it done with custom cerakote. To be fair, it's a badass flashlight. Consequently, that led to the purchase of a few other flashlights with similar features but much cheaper and without the custom coatings.

See the attached image for more details and feel free to ask me any questions :P

That car FUCKS

The USB C to 3.5mm dongles out there are plentiful and to be honest you can't really go wrong with any one. At the end of the day, they all behave pretty similarly as they contain a DAC and an amp built them. At this point, the world of audio has gone far enough that decent audio chips are pretty cheap and it's not all that likely you'll actually hear any significant differences between different dongles.

If you are an Android user, be wary of which dongle you get if you're looking at the Apple ones. Depending on the region the dongle is made for, some users report issues where the dongle chooses not to amplify the signal properly. I ran into this problem with the model MU7E2AM/A and it's just annoying. Android and external DACs can be kinda hit or miss for some reason, and the dongle only functioned properly using a specific music player app that kinda overrides the system and forces it to use the DAC (the app is USB Audio Player Pro).

You can buy dongles pretty cheap on the cheapo sites like Aliexpress, which isn't a terrible idea. You could buy a few cheaper ones and be fine for a long while. I've had issues with the longevity of certain dongles, daily use can sometimes put physical stress on the USB connector if you're not careful, which is why I would just keep a few different dongles and chew through em as needed.

The expensive one is the white-ish one all the way on the left! That one is made of titanium (with the exception of the copper head). All the other lights are made of aluminum. Also, the cerakote coating is special because it changes color with heat! At rest it's a dark navy blue, but as it gets warmer it turns into the greyish white you see in the picture :)

The special thing about each of these lights is that they're almost semi-custom made, you get to pick certain things such as the color and material of the body, the actual length of the battery tube for different types of cells, and most specifically the type of LED that gets put inside. They also use an open-source and insanely complicated user interface called Anduril 2.0.

The fancy colors you see the lights putting out in the image are just auxiliary LEDs that look pretty. You can change what color they're producing or even have em do a little light show if you set them to do that.

There's one guy who actually makes them, his name is Hank Wang. You can find his store at intl-outdoor.com. Considering the amount of customization that goes into these lights and the quality of the LEDs themselves, the value of them is actually rather amazing.

In this image you can see how the beams vary in color temperature across these lights.
