I like my light in the 5 to 7k area

lol so 4k isn't warm white?

fuck you bulb manufacturers

candlelight led bulbs are handy if you like taking horrible pictures

@Sapharanth warm whites are ok if you have a use case for them

the general rule is "if you don't know what you're doing, 5000K"

getting LED lightbulbs that match the old bulbs that I had in places is basically a lottery game, though

I have like a dozen of LED bulbs that claim they're "the equivalent of a 60W bulb" or whatever on the box

yet when I install them and turn them on, they're dim as fuck

Sure, if you have money

Cheap flashlights with true 5k are rare though

even skilhunt h03 marketed as neutral white is warm

if i put a message for the seller when i pay for something

is he going to put it on the package?

in ali

or does it get delivered as a chat message

no they see it as a chat message

oh thats great

time to reveal the chinks my deepest secrets

guys

does xiaomi still have that bullshit unlocking system where you need to email them to ask permission for rooting your phone?

yes

but not for the mi a1

mi a1 is unlocked?

neat

looks like I know what I'm getting, thanks

It's android one so yeah

mi a1 is not unlocked

but you can unlock it easily

it's just a switch in settings iirc

doesn't even wipe data

also lock in my car broke

replaced it with a chink one for €30

everything works (electronics too)

it just makes more noise than the OEM one

and also takes more force to close the door now

fair enough

I'll get it to replace my dying OPO and install LOS on it

@Millwood just because it's android one doesn't mean it will have an unlocked bootloader - see Nokia's lineup for 2018: Everything is Android One but none of them are unlockable (yet, anyway)
