  • Layoffs are unpopular so companies are tightening the belt by making the working conditions less hospitable.

    Return to office is designed to have employees leave willingly so they can reduce headcount without making employees feel unsafe about budget cuts.

    What they don’t seem to care is top performers are the ones most able to move to another job with better working conditions.

    With a trim at the bottom by letting go of low performers and encouraging top performers to leave they are just trending toward mediocrity.

    You can normalize preferred pronouns by declaring them when you introduce yourself. Eg. I’m Barry and my pronouns are he/him. That’s being a good ally.

    If you get someone’s pronoun wrong, it’s no big deal as long as you don’t keep pushing it. They can correct you and you should just use their pronoun after. The most important thing is to use the correct pronoun once told.

    You can also ask if a person you have just met has preferred pronouns.


  • Based on the size of the connector a tear down is going to show a rather complicated board for a “simple” adaptor. Because the Lightning port is designed to be reconfigured on the fly depending on the accessory plugged in and not a single dumb bus protocol like USB2.0 the chip in this cable needs to be able to talk in HDMI and some other standards.

    Fun fact: while Lightning was originally designed around being a reversible USB2.0 connector because of the dynamic reconfiguration of the reversible sides at the port it is capable of speaking in native USB3.0 on all of the pre-Usb-C iPad pros.

    The price is reasonable for what it is, honestly, but very few people will actually need to buy one.













  • Agreed. I really like the UI on the H17Fx, but I prefer a simpler mode progression UI on the reverse clickies. The 8A should give a nice punch to some shorty triples I built for use around the house while having plenty of runtime on the lower side.

    Kinda wish he had a 1 or 2A buck driver too. Not every light needs to empty an 18350 in 20 minutes.



  • Having a few LEPs now I can say that the smaller ones are my favorite and the most useful because the beam isn’t as coherent resulting in a larger, more usable hotspot. The Lumintop Thor 1 and 2 are really great pocket cannons and sold at a pretty fair price especially if you can snag a deal coupon. The bigger ones like the Weltool W4 are not as useful because the beam is too tight!

    That said, the FW2 that @dartanjinn@lemm.ee recommended looks like a great option and its larger brother, the Mateminco FW3 with its dual flood/LEP beams is very handy and the beam is still not too tight because the LEP optic itself is fairly small.
