need a beater work light

probably gonna throw one of these in the car

What do you want ut for @foxhunt

I don't really need it

It just looks like something that is cool and kind of useful

it's machined to look like it's a single piece of metal when you screw the tail end in

a+++ looks, as I said, it's something you can easily rock with a professional attire

it's not the brightest around but it was one of the best CRI lights out there I think? @bentech can probably add to this

Ah yes, Suit attire. Cufflinks, a tie, a flashlight.

Real classy stuff.

make sure to bring your matte back and chromed toothpick crossbow

Lol

Now I want that kind of classy toothpick crossbow

big size <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

@Matthew if you put a pen in your suit somewhere, the BLF-348 can ride right next to it and nobody will say a thing

But why would I need one

why wouldn't you need one

just use your phone

DON'T

WINDATICA!!!

🔦 📞

I fucking knew you'd say this

@Cole i have one of these lmao

p gud

@onoderaSecurity the work lights?

yeah

nice

any major things to dislike, except for microusb?

nah

cool beans

I bought both sizes just to be sure lmao

goes well with a metal mija pen

any recommendations on DIY kits for mech keyboards?

I want a 60% programmable

ideally something I could buy from banggood/ali/gearbest

Tons of stuff on ali

They're all mostly good

which pcb would be the go to?

Depends which layout you want

the green ones of course

And features (bluetooth rgb etx)

I used a gh60 one for mine and it works fine

bluetooth is nice but optional

I mostly want to have keys for layers and a easy way to rebind keys on those said layers

@Cole Damnit, I've been so good about not buying more lights... But I gotta get a new D4.

I need the D18 still

still didn't get myself to buy it

I need to downsize a few lights and cut it down to more core stuff that I'll use.

I would probably sell some lights but I really just doubt there's a market for them here

never seen anyone sell lights on second hand sites

Might see about putting the Astrolux and the D4 Ti's on the B/S/T threads, pick up the new D4 and whatever the new S Mini is called

There's a decent market on Reddit. (And would any US folks here want em?)

yeah but even that means shipping internationally probably

which will be expensive

Yeah, I'd stick with US only.

yeah let me just fly to america

😭

should i get this? it's cute uwu

It's a steal

Worth it for the price

have 128gb Mixza shark

had it since the <:mixza_shark:230982717200793600> hype and still going stronk

i just bought an umbrella over the internet

xiaomi umbrella?

@Matthew who hurt you, where did that obsessed come from

America was mentioned

sounds like you're obsessed

<:benis:239668961011040257>

with being the best

fuq

i just got banned from wechat after adding some rep seller

how 2 unban

Any ideas what I could search for to find little airtight tubes like this, maybe 3" by 1/2"? 75mm by 13mm roughly

@timsandtoms how airtight you need them to be

splash proof or submerge proof ?

Either should be fine for my purposes

cigar tubes ?

Oh, that might work, thanks!

Probably fairly appropriate too

pipet sterilizing tubes for autoclaves if you need some more HC quality

Oh

I might be dumb

Test tubes

yeah if the requirement is not "made from metal"

those plastic tubes work wonders

just make sure its screw caps

Not having much luck finding screw cap ones that large. Measured again and trying to shoot for barely over 14mm ID.

Found some push cap ones that are 16x100

That'll work okay for me though

https://www.amazon.com/13x100mm-Glass-Screw-Karter-Scientific/dp/B00RKNKYBU

glass ones tho

https://www.amazon.com/Craftdady-Transparent-Plastic-Container-Organizers/dp/B07SFMFB1Q there we go

Nah, want plastic. It's just something good to seal up vape cartridges in case they leak, and keep the bundle small.

even room for something fluffy to prevent the cartridge from moving inside

Oh, that might work nice, thanks!

anybody got a recommendation for a small Bluetooth keyboard to use with a tablet?

What's "small"

Because the RK61 is the eternal suggestion

felt keyboards are dreadful mate

@Matthew something backpack-able that doesn't take much space but it's also usable

Yeah, RK61

so, are those foldable ones all bad

Royal Kludge

ur a kludge

there are more options than rk61 (unfortunately) but i think its the cheapest

but i've read that some people have issues with bluetooth

Never had a problem with mine

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33011853007.html

It's usually available from Amazon for the same price, so you can get faster shipping

uhhh that seems too big, I was thinking maybe the foldable keyboards

I want something for emergency use

Oh god, he's retarded........

not every day typing

buy one of the wireless thinkpad keyboards, only $150 friend

@Matthew you didn't know this before?

@Cole isn't there a silicon one that rolls up

I have no idea

@Cole What ever you end up getting dont get those rollable silicon ones

😶

is this too big for you too?

https://www.theverge.com/2019/6/19/18691355/xiaomi-fires-employee-art-permission-artist-tarka-removal

Wtf xiaomi you're infringing on chinese beliefs

They are trying to play by the rules so they won't end up like Huawei

just smashed my redmi 5

whats the best chink phone nowadays

the redmi note 7

Wait for k20

Daily reminder that Waitfags are worse than paid shills

the k20 will be around double the price

if u want u can wait i guess

@gecho what is that abortion lmao

I was thinking something like this tbh
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/AVATTO-A20-Portable-Leather-Folding-Mini-Keyboard-Bluetooth-Foldable-Wireless-Keypad-for-iphone-android-phone/32837821853.html

i thought that was a wallet from the thumbnail lol

anyone else type the letter b with their right hand

i can't use these damn things for that reason

nope, left hand

sometimes it b like that..

<:handlet:589221995686920208> if you can't hit any key with either hand

at least hes not hitting 3 or 4 at a time

You're about to get your head spun around like the Exorcist, little boy

👋

@Cole get a Gherkin keyboard kit

if only they passed laws what required all vending machines be with transparent plates so customers could see the mechanism

but why

(like that would help.... industry would just move using black pipes and plastic)

@Tervy wrong chat

ahh yes

fml

:D

the gherkin isnt wireless

iirc

I'm really not sharing your viewpoint that these mini mechanical keyboards are "portable", guys

not my idea of portable when it looks the same like a desktop keyboard but it's missing keys

yeah, those keyboards are clearly defunct and you should probably return them anyway 😏

that AVATTO folding keyboard was kinda what I had in mind

why do you meme me Wind :(

someone i know in uni had one of those folding keyboards, it was super neat and i was almost tempted enough to buy one just for the novelty

@Cole fuck you tavy

http://order.sleepwithremee.com/product/remee/

lmao

Imagine unironically spending 90 dollars for a sleep mask with flashing red lights in it

Got chinked

more like

Got caught selling chinkshit

If the chinks are selling them for 15, unit cost is probably closer to 7

meaning those california bitches are trying to make a 1000+% profit

<:brainlet:589104479887032330> "Uh, Product development costs money, and there's also our investors to repay, and, uh, uh..."

Buy this watch, and make every man near you do a doubletake

@Matthew Pricing aside, do those masks work?

I only wake up remembering that I've dreamt once every few months. Would be worth trying if they kinda do.

Or maybe not. Pretty sure half the ones I remember involved spiders.

Put an alarm for the middle of the night

wake up then sleep again

You’ll remember your dream in the morning

the second you get up, write everything down

you forget you even dreamt quick unless you think about the dream while awake

@timsandtoms if you dream about spiders you're eating spiders in your sleep

👀

Meh. Probably good protein.

@Matthew looks like a ph watch

That's the joke.

I know what alarm sound should the watch have

@Cole https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkYZMJwkcfI

@Matthew well, i guess

There are Bluetooth adapters that you can just plug a keyboard into. I have two of them bumming around right now, waiting for me to stop being lazy and finish an OLKB project I have

http://handheldsci.com/kb/

They changed their design \🤔

Anyway I was planning on just dismantling it and sandwiching the board into the keyboard somewhere along with the battery.

any of you know of any beverage coolers? <https://www.amazon.com/Electronic-Cooling-Machine-Portable-Beverage/dp/B07R5J7J6V/>

those are very inefficient way to waste energy :P

those with metal+water inside them are tad bit better but still not worth the cost usualy placed on them

also good morning my english skills are even more retarded today it seems...

just get freezer mug if you really want that stuff to be cold fast

anybody bought blank blu-ray discs from ali before? how well did they perform?

@Tervy what's a freezer mug? have a link to any product?

https://www.amazon.com/Double-Wall-Gel-Freezer-Mug/dp/B0094G1HZ8 anything similar to this

so none of them have peltier coolers in them it looks like, just metal and fans :^)

peltier cooler is one of worlds shittiest "innovations"

yea, but it won't work small scale just to cool an aluminum can of coke?

no and yes

there has to be some type of small cooling unit, not just fans and metal fins cooling

you get better result just taking that metal holder and throwing it to freezer

this is something we need to invent

yes we have fridges already

they are quite neat and efficient

no no no sir, small scale, for one can of coke in similar aluminum cup

I actually have something tiny I want to keep cool long term but not in the fridge. Do those little peltier single can fridges actually work?

what if I'm gaming for 36hrs and have like 24 cans of coke on standby for my vidya marathon, I don't want to leave my bedroom to head to the kitchen, that's what I need this for badly

@timsandtoms that's what I want to know

My Lowe's is clearancing some mini fridges, get that, doubles as your TV stand, and you can put your 360 in it to mitigate RRoD

I'm not a console bro

i fucking draw it for you

....

also you should not game for 36 hours its extremely unhealthy for body

those steps might be only thing saving you...

but if you really have 24 cans just get one of mini compressor camping fridges/coolers/freezers

this type is still inefficient? if I ran tubes from it to the cans, liquid inside tubes, wouldn't cool can down 40F or whatever in minutes?

just fucking no

also that block for sure as heck aint foodsafe

``` Peltiers only have 10-15% Carnot efficiency, using 50 watts you can move a net ~3 watts of heat, less your design inefficiencies.```

to quote my notepad

oh, god, they're that bad?

YES THEY ARE FUCKING BAD

i dont mean to sound mean or agressive over this but "usable peltier usecases" as book is shorter than french war victories

and shitty compressor coolers/fridges cost 100~ish dollars these days

and can provide tons of more value

and if you look at the bottom of the can the peltiers main cooling wont even reach anything else but the really really small surface area there

thus the holder is needed part for it.. and even then it kills the efficiency to sub 1 watt most likely what eventualy reaches the can

even getting party cooler and dry-ice for the cans is more valid option

than those

:D

my second pair of VE monks are failing. I like their sound better than other brands, so I'm buying the cheapest braided cable earphones on aliexpress to replace the wires

@uuuu <#365921969004216320> might have proper cables only option for you too (dunno how much more expensive its compared to cheapest earphones)

@ikillu Peltier cooler is one of those things what is every studying engineers "magic bullet to everything" until they got more and more education they learn how shitty they are.... and some dont believe it or smell money on it still and try to launch shitty products just to cash people

yea, there was a kickstarter project, guy backs it gets product, uses it, and it just dropped temp of can not even 20F lol

just read that now, thanks for opening my eyes

it'll probably sit on there 24hrs, 50w lol to make it cool, not even cold

50*24 W

to not properly cool a can

yep sounds about right

yea, .20 or so in electricity LOL

cents

peltiers need darn good cooling on themselves and they need giant walls of insulation and door what is well insulated to keep things cool

yea, if you fit the can in an enclosed area, maybe then, and insulated it too

and at that point its not marketable anymore and you are speaking large enough thing that small compressor engine is way better option
