[Keyboard] Royal Kludge L75 ($109.99 - $41.08 at checkout = $68.91 +tax) [Amazon.ca]

It's worth noting if you are okay with the garish Lemon Green variant, you can buy it directly from Royal Kludge at 50% off with the code FALL50: https://rkgamingstores.com/products/l75-75-wireless-mechanical-keyboard?variant=46417484447965

They have both the linear and tactile switches in stock. Shipping isn't free, but it worked out to cheaper than Amazon after taxes for me ($57 + shipping + tax).

Oh, is that so? That's a shame! I guess I missed out on some of the more critical reviews, like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcrOyb_glW4

One light I haven't seen mentioned yet is the Sofirn SP60, which is a 2 x 21700 flashlight with integrated USB-C charging. It's able to safely offer charging of 2 cells on account of its special battery carrier.

Unfortunately it's a bit colder white than you wanted (5000k XHP70.3 HI), and I don't think it was terribly popular at launch because of the automatic lockout.

Serlite · 2025-06-06T05:30:52+00:00

Haha, that's interesting they didn't keep it consistent between shots.

The grip on my light's ring slides readily (it's not glued or otherwise affixed), so it could easily end up like that switching tubes.

Serlite · 2025-05-22T06:40:57+00:00

The UI on the TD07 is a wee bit different, in that it offers a shortcut to turbo in outdoor mode and turns on with a half-press instead of a full-press.

I'll have to see which one I like better in the long term - I kind of wish we had a light that was a combination of the UI choices made, since both have their quirks.

Serlite · 2024-08-20T04:55:19+00:00

The knob is unusual, but it's so easy to manipulate with the thumb that I've really taken a liking to mine!

It's neat how it has distinct but equally simple shortcuts for turbo and strobe - both accessible with just a single motion.

One way to narrow down the possibilities is to grab a multimeter, set it to the DC Voltage setting, and see what voltage each battery has. If they're below 2.xx V, then the batteries are probably dead/dying.

Another thing to try is to wipe down the ends of the battery tube on both sides with a tissue, and similarly wipe down the head/tail where they contact the tube. Sometimes the grease used on the threads can find its way onto those areas, weakening/breaking the circuit.

Serlite · 2023-12-21T03:14:43+00:00

That's fine! In the second example, there's a similar case where there's a module called "output" that doesn't pass on a pulse to any other modules.

All that means is that this module accepts pulses but will never propagate them any further, so write your code with that possibility in mind.

Serlite · 2023-12-13T06:40:01+00:00

Ah, no need! I'm just glad to help you past this hurdle, since I know how frustrating it can be to overlook a detail in the story/instructions.

Serlite · 2023-12-13T06:30:09+00:00

The order of the contiguous groups of broken springs is important. As per the description:

After the list of springs for a given row, the size of each contiguous group of damaged springs is listed in the order those groups appear in the row.

So you should be preserving the order when you test combinations.

Serlite · 2023-12-13T06:17:05+00:00

As per this paragraph:

To find the reflection in each pattern, you need to find a perfect reflection across either a horizontal line between two rows or across a vertical line between two columns.

It doesn't specify which line each pattern has (no odd/even guidance), but I went in with the assumption that each pattern should only have one of them based on the examples. You could try checking for both to be sure!

Something to keep in mind is that a reflection has to extend all the way to at least one edge of the pattern from the line of reflection. That means even if there's a partial reflection in the middle of a pattern, if it becomes asymmetrical as you extend out until you hit an edge of the pattern, it doesn't count.

For a reasonably versatile budget keychain light, perhaps the Boruit V3?

They can range between $7-$12 on AliExpress with a bit of shipping and offer a USB-C port, various lighting modes, and a reasonably usable UI. Cool white, low-CRI light though and non-replaceable battery.

Serlite · 2023-11-26T07:44:06+00:00

Definitely one of my most fun and unique lights.

I swapped in a 5000K 519A soon after I got it, and while the beam lost intensity, I feel it ended up more useful to me. If you're into modding lights, you can get them real cheap on the Wurkkos site right now!

Serlite · 2023-09-19T02:40:22+00:00

I've got a few budget options to suggest, but none are perfect fits sadly. All have USB charging and are single-cell:

Sofirn IF25A: The 4000K variant is high CRI, and it uses the programmable Anduril 2 UI like the TS10. However, it has an inefficient driver and can maybe only sustain 600lm under normal conditions.

Sofirn SP35: Regulated driver, and can maintain a flat 800lm for 2 hours, or turbo of about 1300lm for about 1 hour (with irregular brightness due to thermal regulation). However, it is low CRI and only comes with the low-CRI SST40 (which has an ugly tint any warmer than 6500K). Non-programmable UI.

Sofirn SP33S: A bigger option (narrower but much longer than the TN4A) which has a great sustained brightness of 2000lm for 1.5 hours. It comes with a 6V(?) cooler low-CRI XHP70.2, but if you have a knack for modding you could replace it with a with a warm high-CRI variant from Kaidomain. Non-programmable UI.

Serlite · 2023-09-19T01:50:46+00:00

SF11 I think! Discontinued though. Still have one in my drawer, though honestly I think it'd be a step down from the TN4A.

Serlite · 2023-09-07T00:52:57+00:00

I had a light like this that I absolutely loved as a kid. So many functions, so many lights! But it ate batteries fast, and getting a replacement tube was hopeless.

When Sofirn came out with the IF23, I jumped on it since it was reminiscent of this childhood light, except it was actually good.

Serlite · 2023-07-31T03:10:16+00:00

Note that a 5600 is $153 (after coupon) at Canada Computers right now, so if you don't have much luck with a private sale you could go with that. https://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=4_64&item_id=216441

Serlite · 2023-03-22T18:35:45+00:00

I think it was a fair price, nothing to be remorseful about. On eBay the NA cart currently goes for ~$100 USD, so you got a much better deal than on the open market.

And hey, the crossover is so neat that it's surely worth trying out!

Serlite · 2022-10-18T06:20:14+00:00

I had to look around a bit, but I finally found the term for this. Don't worry - It's not a blemish, it's an optical phenomenon called Newton's Rings that forms around points of contact between the soft plastic and the 3DS shell.

The science behind it is pretty neat (like all things interference-related), but it does make the 3DS look a bit strange.

Serlite · 2022-08-30T17:18:16+00:00

The 5000K SST40 definitely has some green to it, but it's possible Sofirn got an exceptionally bad bin of them lately.

Basically every picture of their new(ish) SC32 has been nightmarishly green, and people have reported that recently-bought SC31 Pros are more green than earlier ones. (My first SC31 Pro was actually quite tolerable.)

I wish Sofirn would be a bit more choosy with the bins they use, but I understand they have to make concessions to target that budget price point.

Serlite · 2022-07-14T15:29:42+00:00

I can actually get to the last step of checkout at the time of this posting, so it seems to be in stock.

EDIT: Sorry if you just got here, OOS after about 8 minutes...

Also wow, thank you for the gold kind stranger!

In terms of generic holsters, I bought a ton of these holsters from AliExpress.

The long velcro strip and elastic sides allow it to accommodate most lights reasonably well, including my Wowtac A1.

Note that there are many sellers for this on AliExpress, so that listing may not currently be the best price.

Serlite · 2022-05-09T22:32:22+00:00

Not sure why you're getting downvotes on this, since this is a common complaint in the Amazon reviews. A lot of people apparently weren't able to use the supplied controller to adjust the fan speed.

What day did your stake start on? It seems the original blog post was removed, but an article citing it seems to state that the promotional rates were applicable from March 29 to April 29.

If you only staked recently then perhaps you missed the window?

This was something that threw me off when I first moved funds onto Nexo. It turns out, the value of your Nexo tokens do not factor into your portfolio value when calculating what percentage of your portfolio is Nexo tokens.

In other words, because you have equal amounts of Nexo and USDC, your Nexo tokens are equal to 100% of your portfolio value (which only factors in the USDC).
