Sometimes a flashlight just isn't enough. The Flying Sun 1000 drone system was designed with that fact in mind, as it uses 288 airborne LEDs to light up the night like the alien mothership from Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Nice! I was lucky to have extra drives when I switched to Linux on my PC, haven't done it on a laptop yet. Do you just back up all your data to an external SSD/HD beforehand or go the partition route?
Yeah, said I had to buy a tpm module for my mobo to upgrade to win11. My steam deck works so well running arch based Linux I searched "gaming arch Linux" in DuckDuckGo and installed CachyOS. Easier and cleaner than installing windows 10 when I built my PC and the constant updates are awesome (they also offer long term support LTS builds). Highly recommend, I have an Nvidia 2070 Super and CachyOS has been a great upgrade from Windows 10.
Trying to justify an even bigger hank light order: how do you like the size? I'm already set on buying the DW4K and might order a couple of these to complement my surprise favorite light the DW4
Agreed, just frustrating that they wait until their corpo donors are done signing checks for a big election year. Would've been a huge game changer years ago when Dems were in control and perhaps would've proven everyday Americans support progressive policies
Wicked! I've only purchased Hanklights up until now, so a new brand would be very interesting!
Glad life is going better for you these days! I'm sure your kiddo is proud of you for moving on
You're so right about KDE, I didn't realize just how much great stuff KDE makes until I was looking for a markdown editor this week at work, and KDE ghostwriter nails everything I ever wanted. Cross platform too so I can use it on my personal Linux machine too
Paper creates a better physical trail to avoid tampering. The time commitment should be reduced by allowing voting by mail, even better if it's mandatory. Easily enforced with a tax break for participating and just sending back a receipt of vote recorded accurately.

This is really cool! How much did it cost you to get the board fully assembled? And how's the layout? As ergonomic as you hoped?
I had no clue this was a thing! I thought Samsung Dex was some exclusive feature. Feels like this would be great for public computing spaces where they provide a hub, keyboard, mouse, and monitor and you just bring your phone with ya and connect over data
You got me curious since it's been ages since I uninstalled Reddit and it's actually crazy how much more invested I am in Lemmy comments. Feels like all the Linux communities are actually helpful and full of real world experience, not to mention the flashlight community. Definitely a good reminder to set up a recurring donation to the smaller instance I use
Tried out Mint, Debian w/ KDE, switched to Debian w/ gnome, now settled into Cachy OS. Only thing I'm wanting for is support for my Dell Canvas touch and totem, but I expect that'll get pushed to Open Tablet Drivers before long
How Well does Pop OS! Support Touch
Recently switched from windows 10 to Debian 12.5 bookworm since I have a unique setup (Nvidia 2070S GPU, 2 1080p monitors, Dell Canvas, and TV) and the default inclusion of Nvidia proprietary drivers and years of Wacom support have made everything workable (nearly out of the box!).
However, touch still isn't great. It works well in Xournal++ and decently in Krita, but struggles everywhere else as a mouse input.
I'm considering hopping to Pop OS! once a stable version of their much anticipated COSMIC DE launches since I love the upgrades over GNOME.
Anybody running a pen display similar to the Dell Canvas on Pop OS! that can speak to it's support for pen and touch input?
I'd love to hear more about your experience! What 3 EVs did you buy used and which was your favorite?
Will Corps ditch Windows over Recall for Linux?
What do y'all think? Does switching to Linux as an entire corporation mean RedHat? Or could it be done on a distro like Debian?
This is what it comes down to. Nearly every office job pays for the Microsoft enterprise suite and office 365 subscriptions, before tacking on third party tools for monitoring and info. sec. for IT. I would gladly ditch Office 365 for Open Office and Debian, assuming all the higher ups would be willing to take such drastic measures to reduce expenses. I think most employees would balk at learning "an entire new system" regardless of how minor the differences actually are at this point.
I'll give 'em this: Microsoft's model creates very sticky revenue with high switching costs.
Carrying Case?
Howdy!
I have a keeb.io cepstrum split board that I'd like to travel with when I head into the office. Anybody have good experiences with a carrying case they could recommend? My cepstrum is 8 inches / 20.5 cm by 4.5 inches / 11 cm for reference.
Reading direction should be inverted: we should read pages bottom to top
If I could flip a switch and change this one aspect of modern life, I'd be willing to re-learn all my old reading/writing habits. It just makes more sense to "build" ideas upward.
Departure from Von Neumann Architecture Imminent?
The use of MoS2 allows the entire assembly of 1024 elements to fit into one square centimeter space and be fabricated using industry-standard tools.
Can anybody with experience in fabrication reveal more about this? Very exciting ideas, but hoping to learn more in real-world context
Update: Amazing Customer Service!
I recently posted looking for help diagnosing my D4K which all of a sudden stopped outputting anything from the main emitters. After trying all the suggested troubleshooting steps, I decided I'd just have to talk to Hank himself and see if he'd send me a boost driver for free so I could attempt to replace it with some soldering advice from YouTube.
I was already saving up for a DW4 as my next light, but with the sale I had to jump on an M44 too. I emailed Hank after placing my order, and he quickly responded that the solder job would be difficult, and he'd include a brand new head for my D4K with my order!
With all the rave reviews about Hank's customer service I thought he'd do me a solid with the driver, but I did not expect basically an entire new light!
Now the hard part is deciding what to order next. . .
Dead D4K?
Hi all,
I've had my cyan D4K Hanklight for only a few months (ordered in April) and I can't seem to get my main emitters to turn back on? I had the light on while cable managing my PC and all of a sudden it turned off. I didn't touch the switch, it just cut off.I checked the cell first which runs fine in my K1 and was at 60% capacity. I've tried these 2 factory reset methods:
Neither appear to do anything. The auxillary LEDs are still running in low mode, but I can't seem to change them with the usual 7C for mode and 7H for color.
Is there any possibility my dedomed 519A emitters are still alive and kicking? Or should I just order a "domed" normal version?
Thanks for reading!
