I desperately wanted one but couldn't do it at the time, and since I already have an "antique" Mac Pro G5 sitting here (in working condition!) that I never use, feels like putting a trash can in the mix woulnd't be my smartest move at this point. :D
Cool machine though, glad to see you still have one that is usable and kicking it!
It’s tough for a newb to figure out all the potential combos of options, but yes that is an utterly excellent pocket light. The aluminum one is probably the best for EDC, with lighter weight and generally better thermal handling. The boost driver is a must, if you intend to use it regularly and not just have it be a show-off light.
I’m excited, not so much for this product (since it’s clearly for developers, business or the rich only) but what v3 will be like. The focus on AR is smart IMO, and the performance and fidelity I’ve heard from every reviewer is very encouraging. As someone that works on computers all day everyday (and has for 35 years) the possibility of getting rid of monitors and being able to use any space to work is interesting. I’m getting too old to sit at a desk all day. 😄
While I’ve had flashlights of some sort around for 30 years, I recently discovered Emisar (better known as Hanklights) and added a few to the collection. Here’s a shot of the aux LEDs doing their thing. 😄 (This is a D2, DT8 and D4V2)
Also, hope that Lemmy can grow and be a great place to share our hobbies.
The community fully approves of this solution. :)
