OMG, it works with massive Torquemada. I think I dislocated the elbow. :( Now it is looser than the tailcap. Crazy Chinese. :dunno:

I didn't know the head was removable. It didn't seem to be.

The battery life sucks, reflector is funky, beam is ugly and asymmetric, controls are poor, and there is no way to disable accidental power on other than battery removal. :(

I was going to say that it blows chunks like Sarah after the 4th mojito, but it's not that bad. ;)

That is how I feel about mp3 players. Every time I go to the airport they are MIA.

Well, I received the light and it is not very good. :(

Do you mean the studios or the city? Maybe you have a weird experience there. :dunno:

There is not much weird about Hollywood, especially now with the boring remakes.

So you were not hacked at all?

Movies this summer are really a bunch of tired reruns. Why is every movie part 2 or 3 or a copy of something else? :(

Aren't there backup and restore programs for the LINUX?

For me it's all about the humidity so I always check the dew point. Over 32°C/90°F on humid days can be very uncomfortable with only mild exertion.

I received the metric system in the late 60s, but I'm sure you know the masses still use °F for weather in the US. In school and at work most everything has been metric, except pressure units such as PSI and Torr lingered on far too long. Converting back and forth mentally during...

I assumed it was a spammer even if it isn't cryptolithic currently.

I'm totally exhausted, 2 hours sleep in 48 until today. I've heard some HR about circular vs. hierarchical Milleniums. I missed that training.

They will try to use the payment info to steal more. Don't do it.

Are you claiming that the power failure in Newark was caused by a remote attack?

Bummer. I thought the Macs and Linux were impermeable. I would not give anyone any money.

We were not even on the continent.

You should be in great shape at that age. :) Heat, cold, etc. will be harder on you in years to come.

The problem was that the heat index was 7°C/12.6°F higher than the actual temperature. When it is already 35°C all that humidity is just terrible. I'll take the CA/AZ/UT/NV dry desert heat any day. You can lose a lot of water weight and dehydrate without feeling wet. Of course that can be...

Recently I've been looking at the QNAP switches. The QSW-1208-8C has 12 ports (8 combo SFP+/10GBASE-T) and the QSW-1204-4C has 8 (4 combo). I can see that flexibility would come in handy with multiple devices. They do have fans, but smart controlled. The worst case total power is 49W with all...

The former. :rofl:

Not that it is a huge difference, but the model with 4GB RAM is $1300 compared to $1500 for the 8GB model. Maximum RAM capacity is 16GB, which makes more sense than 8GB. However, the memory slot is a Long-DIMM. How does that socket or specs differ from the regular DDR4 RAM used on typical PC...

Who informed you on the Blockbuster?

It's magnetic. Not sure if a simple magnet would work.

I'm in a hotel with one of those power interlocks so AC is off all day. It's 32 inside and outside the heat index is 41C.

Are you satisfied with the intensity after it has dropped to high and then drops a bit more after it heats up? Due to the lithium and my travel schedule I can't get one for a week or four.

That could be very nice for some other purposes, but it is double the weight. The turbo mode is only good for 3 minutes, but even at half power the rest of the time it would be more than decent. Do you have one of those Catapult v6 lights?

Maximum reach (>30,000 cd) and minimum size and weight for a single 18650 light. The criteria previously included USB rechargeability. I don't see any replacement for the XP-L HI V3 LEDs yet which would probably be the main difference in future lights. I have dropped the EC4GT from the list...

I was thinking that it would eventually replace the TS-831X, which has the original 1.4GHz Annapurna CPU (not the 1.7GHz Amazon one). From what I gather an A72 is a big improvement over an A15, especially allowing encryption without the dramatic slowdown. I won't be the first to jump in on...

There is no wiring and I don't want to make any infrastructure changes now. My job changed this year and I think next year the organization's role may be different, so I would be relocating again. What do you think of the TS-1635AX? It has 12 bays and an A72 Armanda processor. It is no Xenon...

What exactly is the computer not doing for your purposes using the last stable drivers? What will be lost if you wait for the newer drivers to mature?

QNAP continues to introduce new models yet many have the stupid 2.5" bays. Since they already have PCIe slots for M.2 adapters, what is the point? I'd rather have more 3.5" bays.

Yeah, there must be no room for a switching charger. The current stays about 0.75A, which is not great, but faster than some flashlights internal charging. I suppose there is still nothing better than the MH-20GT for the limited weight travel, so a USB battery won't change my strategy. I'll...

It looks small enough that there should be an f/4 or a 600.

The tip gets quite hot. Judging by the Ah it is using a resistive method for charging, so the efficiency is not good. I have doubts how reliable this would be in the Kalahari desert.

Are the Koreans after you too? Lately I also receive an excessive number of ads for hygiene products for no apparent reason.

:scratch: This thread has major Gremlins. I have many chargers, but that is extra bulk and weight. I have favored lights with USB charging over the last few years. These batteries essentially make every flashlight into a USB rechargeable light, providing far more options. Of course I'd rather...

No, that it not what they mean. :(

I have replaced several of the 18650 cells with the new USB rechargeables. I'm not sure if anyone else uses them, but the batteries are longer than normal (nearly 70 mm). It's no problem in the two main Nitecore lights that I use most frequently.

Somebody suggested I take Geritol. :( Friday 13th is a bad one.

I'm not seeing much hope for that lens by October. I might consider it again for January 2020, but that is a ways off.

Is one 4x series ok for the showers? The 3 has no high dispersion and not much separation.

They are using a vertical ellipsis fir some reason?

That's too much work for me and another password to keep track of. It's enough that I log into sites like this frequently with passwords every time.

I used one of the Sony speakers. Maybe it could overcome the water, but I'm not into "blasting at some crazy volume" early in the morning. :)

The helicopters aren't really black, just a kind of dark gray.

Earplugs are useless. Everything is weaker, that's all. The point of music is to have competing sound.

What do you log into for the youtubes? I thought they just naturally play in the browsers.
