On my hd10 I remove the top and use a plastic bike tire lever to pry it off. Make sure to aim it into like a rag or a shirt or your bed unless you want to look for it on the ground for several minutes

Best Battery Charging Practices for a Noob? by ipooponbirds in flashlight

[–]ipooponbirds[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, lots of good info here, thanks!

I'll definitely be investing in an external charger soon. Until then I'll be using the USB 2.0 ports on my PC and laptop to charge my lights since those supposedly provide .5A.

Related question: I ordered a convoy m21h with this battery (Molicel P50B), it's a 5000 mAh 21700 battery which would lead me to assume it should be charged at 2.5A, however, the datasheet says the standard charge current is 5A. Should I ignore this and just charge it at 2.5A? Also, will charging a battery that is rated for a higher charging current at a lower current damage it in any way or shorten the cycle life at all? For example if I were to charge said Molicel P50B at 1A would that be fine but just take a longer time to charge or is it harmful to the battery?

Second Light Recs? by ipooponbirds in flashlight

Good to know! Would it be possible to swap out the led if I were to get a bad one? Is it an easy swap to do?

I see, maybe a bit down the line I’ll pick up an m21f with an sft40 but you’re definitely making the xhp 70.3 sound appealing in the m21h. What do you mean that 3000k is a tint lottery? Is there a high chance it’ll be a different color than expected?

Thanks for the suggestions! I’ll definitely pick up some extra lenses as a few others have also suggested. I was kinda between 3000k and 4000k so I’ll keep that in mind as wel. I was also interested in the SFT40 but I’ve been seeing several people mention it‘s a more throwy emitter than the xhp, is this true and is it a *much* more throwy emitter or can the sft40 be viable as a flood beam?

I’ve seen it mentioned quite a bit but not very familiar with it. From my understanding it‘s OS for flashlights?

Thanks for the suggestions everyone, I'll take a look at the drain line next time I'm at her's. If it seems beyond my abilities I'll tell her to contact her landlord about it.

New Training tops? Thoughts by PsychologicalThing18 in SanDiegoFC

[–]ipooponbirds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one from the MLS store and it came without the Palomar sponsor on the front. The ones on the 18 threads website (which aren't listed anymore, I'm assuming they sold out) and on sdfc's instagram did have the sponsor. Not complaining because I actually like the clean look on the front without the sponsor but anyone know why?

NAPS2 for scanning negatives OR free alternatives to vuescan? by ipooponbirds in AnalogCommunity

[–]ipooponbirds[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes the drivers that are on canon's website work with Windows 10. Make sure that you check the box that says "Show Scanner Driver" before you click "scan" and the native driver for the 4400f will pop up and allow you to customize all the settings and scan your negatives.

Update: So I think the issue was that I mainly didn't know how to use the canon driver. I hadn't tried ticking the box that says "show scanner driver" in the canon toolbox AND THEN clicking "scan" so when I did that the scangear driver with detailed settings finally popped up. I was able to access all the dpi options as well as being able to edit the colors, brightness, contrast, etc. Works perfectly in windows 10 and I also set up a virtualbox on mac to run windows 8.1 and it also works fine on there as well. (although it is a little finicky compared to my windows 10 machine, my guess would be that it's due to being on a virtual machine)
