@jcrawfordor look other people are trying to get me to use matrix!

nhinkle

Jan 14, 2020 04:33

do people actually use it?

nhinkle

Jan 14, 2020 04:33

I thought only my one crazy friend who switched to it from irc used matrix

nhinkle

Jan 14, 2020 03:38

but I do wonder how things might have been different

nhinkle

Jan 14, 2020 03:37

and of course that isn't Jeff's style , it never would've happened like that

Jan 14, 2020 03:37

Kind of too bad they didn't go the non-profit route like wikimedia

nhinkle

Jan 14, 2020 03:36

It's certainly a very different place from where it started

Perhaps all companies have a certain maximum growth limit before they become corrupted

nhinkle

Jan 14, 2020 03:36

Considering the community is their biggest asset, and they seem bent on destroying it

nhinkle

Jan 14, 2020 03:35

It's hard to tell what their true motives are

nhinkle

Many an afternoon when I should've been studying haha

Life comes at you fast :)

Indeed it has, which is partially why. It's been a long while since I was active anyways.

Q: Ending my tenure as a superuser moderator

To the superuser community, I have officially submitted my resignation as a superuser moderator to the community team. I would like to thank everyone who I have collaborated with over the years – my fellow dedicated moderators; all my fellow computer lovers who have contributed their knowledge,...

Hello all, and goodbye. I have submitted my resignation as a moderator. I'll still be around, but haven't been active in quite some time, and with the recent changes from Stack Exchange corporate I felt it was time. Hope you're all well.

Q: How can I share my internet connection with other devices in Windows 10?

I am staying at a hotel with very poor WiFi connectivity. There is a wired ethernet connection available in the room, but I obviously can't use that with my phone. Is there any way I can share the connection from my Windows 10 laptop to my phone using my laptop's wireless card? This method for Wi...

@Bob well I didn't want to appear to be trying to just get votes :P

nhinkle

Apr 17, 2018 03:42

You know, the ol' self-answer cuz apparently nobody's bothered to ask or answer it before

nhinkle

Apr 17, 2018 03:42

I figured it out myself after much googling and messing around

nhinkle

Apr 17, 2018 03:42

@allquixotic a question/answer pair

nhinkle

Apr 17, 2018 03:40

Well. I made a post on Super User for the first time in.... years? Tried to find the answer online, didn't find any good info about it, so thought hey, I know what to do!

Question: Anybody here thinking of biking to see the eclipse later this month?

Long time no chat

Aug 12, 2017 00:47

Hey guys

nhinkle

Mar 21, 2017 04:18

Haven't been around these parts in a while, but thought I'd drop in briefly and say hello

nhinkle

Mar 21, 2017 04:18

@Batman indeed!

nhinkle

Mar 20, 2017 18:15

hello

nhinkle

Aug 10, 2016 23:19

I wouldn't have even answered it if not for the email alert I get for anything tagged "bike light" :P

nhinkle

Aug 10, 2016 23:19

So I guess that's contributing to it

nhinkle

Aug 10, 2016 23:18

Apparently it's on the network hot questions list

nhinkle

Aug 10, 2016 22:05

@Criggie I was the one who answered it?

nhinkle

Aug 10, 2016 20:49

Anyhow figured I'd pop in and say hi, sorry I haven't been around much lately. How you all doing?

nhinkle

Aug 10, 2016 20:49

Jesus. 40 upvotes for a simple question? What am I going to do with all this reputation.

nhinkle

Jun 4, 2016 02:00

@Mσᶎ you can ping me anytime for a personal consultation :P

nhinkle

Jun 4, 2016 01:56

I think they have one with an external battery that's much brighter but it wasn't available yet when they sent me samples.

nhinkle

Jun 4, 2016 01:55

@Mσᶎ unfortunately their latest offering isn't as bright as I'd like. Haven't had a chance to get it on an integrating sphere, but I doubt it's much more than 150 lm, if that.

nhinkle

Jun 4, 2016 01:53

I talked with their engineers when I went down there last year, and apparently they have designs for lights with cut off beams, but seem to think the extra expense in the manufacturing process would make them sell poorly in the US market where nobody cares about beam shape. Some of their high-end lights actually do have very nicely designed optics that rival some German dynamo stuff, but nothing in their single-piece commuter category.

nhinkle

Jun 4, 2016 01:52

@Mσᶎ if you want a circular beam, it's great. If you don't want a circular beam, you don't have many options :/

nhinkle

Jun 4, 2016 01:49

I'll be publishing a review of the B&M Ixon Core Flash soon. I think it's much like what you're looking for.

nhinkle

Jun 4, 2016 01:48

@Mσᶎ L&M's beam patterns are better than most, although you're right about the annoying lack of non-circular beams.

nhinkle

Jun 4, 2016 00:54

I'm working on a big update right now. Taking me longer to get it out than I'd hoped. Busy with work and all, of course.

nhinkle

Jun 4, 2016 00:54

@Mσᶎ glad to hear it! I do like the Urban 350 quite a bit :)

Jun 3, 2016 16:46

@PeteH good overall. Did a big relay race a few weekends ago... downhill skiing, XC skiing, biking, running, paddling, sprinting. I did the XC ski portion; my girlfriend did the bike ride. Our team ended up getting 2nd in our age group category!

nhinkle

Jun 3, 2016 16:35

Are you still able to ride?

nhinkle

Jun 3, 2016 16:35

@PeteH wow, sorry to hear that. Glad that you're doing well now.
