Things on Lemmy are going great! I am enjoying seeing the posts and the expertise that folks are bringing to this site. To celebrate, I’m going to give away some AA/14500 battery holders and some TS10 diffusers!

As always, you can get these items from me or download them to 3D print them yourself!

  • (2) AA/14500 snap battery holders
  • (3) TS10 diffusers (Clear, Glow in the dark, Orange)

How to enter: Comment your most disruptive flashlight idea.

    This is such an excellent idea! USB-C programming would be so cool!I would want to be an easy visual interface for programming for sure. Even something simple like boxes where you specify number of clicks/holds and the actions that they perform.

    Didn’t 4sevens make some Bluetooth controlled lights (or maybe prototypes) back in the day? Bluetooth control doesn’t seem super ideal for my purposes, but programming over Bluetooth would be awesome.
