It should be a pressure relief channel coming from the wheel arch: wheel rotation creates a complex air flow and I think this channel lets trapped air flow outwards (and stay attached to the vehicle sides, improving aerodynamics). Probably I got much wrong and more probably still, it’s of no real use for a road car driving under 200km/h.

Edit: could also be linked to brake cooling, now that I think of it…

Really resisting the urge to get new flashlights lately. But if it’s for free… I can make an exception! Joining the giveaway :)

I do love people that assume shit about a completely anonymous person on the internet. Their self-righteousness skips across the airwaves so easily, and without any basis in reality.

And the sheep keep buying the overpriced equipment.

I mean…

To each their own :) just be mindful of the risks of distraction

None. I really think distractions like a movie lead first to bad form and skewd rest time, and maybe to injury. Obviously this doesn’t apply to indoor cardio…

This is a great write up! I would add that also the more affordable lenses nowadays are really sharp and much better optically than anything previous. More money gets mostly just more light gathering capability and water and dust proofing.

Good news but I mean… that’s practically the main purpose of the heat pump thermal management modes. If it wasn’t the case, no-one would bother with it.

I think this applies to tablets but bezels on a phone are pretty useless.

The weird thing is: the Ioniq 5 has the looks and proportions of a hot hatch, but it’s actually a full SUV. For my European eyes, it’s gigantic and has nothing to do with the hot hatch impression it makes in pictures.

 

Since I discovered RAW Power thanks to Lemmy and used it happily since, I thought I post the availability of this more advanced app recently released. With the uncertainty around Affinity Photo after the Canva acquisition, maybe it of interest to some :)

Hullo! Begging pardon in advance for the missing beamshots, here a couple of pictures of the latest buys:

  • FireflyLite NovMu V2 with Nichia E21A 4500K R9080 in Fossil Grey
  • FireflyLite X1L Elite with Cree XHP70.3 HI 4500K CRI 90 in black HAIII

Build quality and LEDs are just awesome, they aren’t cheap but feel very premium. Feel free to ask any questions!

I’ll try to get some beamshots if anyone is interested, I’m still not sure on the right place and setup.

 

Hullo! I just wanted to make aware of the latest updates on one of the newest Fireflylite flashlights, the X1L Elite (I am in no way affiliated with them and read the most info on Reddit, but it would be nice to kickoff a discussion on it here too).

Yesterdays update includes these 3 emitter choices:

  • CREE XHP50.3 HI 5000K CRI90 2600lumens 120 000cd
  • CREE XHP70.3 HI 6500K CRI70 3500lumens 84 000cd
  • CREE XHP70.3 HI 4000K CRI90 2600lumen 62 000cd

It's very strange that the 70.3 HI 4000K would output the same lumes as the 50.3: I asked them and Ivy (the sales representative of Fireflylite) says it's because it's the low bin K2, if someone were interested.

There is as of now just one review by ZeroAir but it is expected that at least two other reviews will come out soon.

I hope some of you find this interesting, I personally find the 4 new models that are slowly coming out of preorder beautiful and with solid specs.

What are your thoughts? Did you preorder the X1L or other new gen FFL flashlights?

  • Keychron Q8 Pro
  • Gazzew U4Tx + a couple of Kailh Box Navy switches
  • MTNU Beige keycaps (lovely new profile, GMK made double-shot PBT, expensive - even more due to Colemak)

I bought the keyboard immediately when I found out they made a BT version of the Q8 (I use a Q10 daily at the office), as I was looking for an iPad compatible one. Very happy with it!

 

Just wanted to share the link to the livestream of the designer Matt3o looking at the first batch of the MTNU keycaps. They are made by GMK out of PBT, with double shot legends. The profile has been developed by Matt3o and GMK as a Cherry-height spherical angle shape. First batch is currently shipping out and has the WoB, Beige and Susu colorways.

I find it really interesting and I don’t think I read anything here regarding this.

Hullo together! I finally got to order my first iPad (Pro 11")! I'm a long time MacBook and iPhone user and do a little photography now and then. On the Mac, I use Olympus OM Workspace to import and decode the RAW files. They go as TIFF files in Affinity Photo for the actual editing - I find the ORF engine in Affinity much worse than the "official" Olympus one.

Affinity Photo for iPad is a thing, but:

  • importing directly could mean use an inferior RAW engine (I don't think Olympus has native iPad software for that - can the iPad even handle ORF files?)
  • The V2 release was really lukewarm and I still use the V1 on my Mac. I am a bit skeptical of the software house in the long run, but I'd love to be proven wrong!

Now, do you have suggestions on how to handle an editing routine on iPad and which software to use, ideally without subscription costs?

The edited and finished photos are usually saved in Files and imported in Apple Photos for iCloud storage.

Thanks in advance!

Interesting interview from my go-to cycling podcast. Nice and unexpected episode!

 

I found a very good - albeit not perfect because of the bead-blasted finish - match for my Reylight Pineapple Mini Ti! Such a small, light and useful package, and in my eyes really beautiful! What do you think?

Hullo! Does anyone have experience with the GRVL line of Decathlon bikes? The most concerning component they use are the hydro-mechanical brakes, TRP HY/RD. To me they almost seem the worst of both worlds, so to say. What do you think? How would they compare to the GRX 400? Thanks in advance and keep pedaling!

 

I ride very seldom lately - I really savor each time I do!

Hullo! Could someone help me find a knife with the following:

  • small (office duty, max 7cm long)
  • Raw Ti scales
  • pocket clip
  • slip joint or lock with 2-hand opening

The target is to match look and size of a Reylight Pineapple Mini Ti.

Thanks in advance!
