Do oshpark orders count? I have a lifetime supply of those white and purple mailers.
Oh dang Jack you are right i should have do a clear C8 as price for the GAW.
Well there probably is coming another GAW in the future and will think a little longer before starting it then 
That makes a great quote, truer words were never spoken also!!! :+1:
I try to limit it 1 order/week. Any more than that and I start getting asked for quid pro quos.
My wifey is going to kill me soon (4 lights on the order this week)! 
BTW: is this driver setup availablr in black c8 host?
You can take any nanjg driver, flash it with this firmware and install it in any flashlight.
Ofcourse, or buy clear & black one and combine but that was not the question.
New driver available?

Time for flowers and jewellery!
Is that a new light brand? F&J XHP-35. Hmmmmm, where do you get em?
That Convoy maddness is obviously everywhere
Maybe it carries 3-4k hosts for modding to a BLFer :person_facepalming:
Even their own? I don’t see any problems with posting one’s own address as long as one is aware of how much spam they might be inviting…
… which, admittedly, could be quite a bit.
After two and a half decades on the internet and all sorts of forums and mailing lists and newsgroups and blogs and other public discussions, I’ve got nearly 1000 unique email addresses. So I ran some numbers on the past decade of logs on my email server. Not counting work stuff, I get an average of about 900 spam messages per day, and my server fends off about 2000 more email-based bot attacks each day. Of all that, only about one or two messages per day make it through all the filters. So ~99.8% filter accuracy. If I post my address in a public place, I do it with these things in mind.
Going by volume, the biggest offenders are bots which don’t even attempt to send any messages. After that, spam bots which harvest addresses from DNS (whois) records, then public mailing lists and web sites. The next-biggest offenders are companies who sell their customer lists to advertisers, and these are usually big companies, not little ones. (One nice thing about having a thousand email addresses is I can track who sold out or who got their data compromised.) Another big source of spam is acquaintances whose accounts or computers were compromised, so their address book was harvested. And Paypal, which is its own category because they send my paypal email address to each merchant I pay through them, so a lot of people have that address and I can’t track who is doing what.
I wouldn’t want to inflict that much spammy, scammy attention on anyone who isn’t prepared to deal with it… but with the right measures in place it’s not really a problem.
Probably, yes.
If the wires aren’t long enough to allow driver access, you’ll need to un-solder those from the emitter MCPCB before pulling the driver out. And in past years, some drivers were soldered into the pill… but I’m not sure if that’s still a thing these days. And if you have any stars soldered, that could interfere with flashing by grounding pins it needs for communication.
Otherwise, you can get more info about flashing by clicking the Link in my signature.
(hah, get it? Link? … Okay, screw you guys, at least I think I’m funny)
4 letters… F O R D
I bought a brand new F150 in 2013 and made the mistake of giving them my email address and cell phone number. Email spam I can handle, but several calls a day on my cell phone from different numbers, recorded message spam ranging from “this is your last warning that your car warranty is expiring”, tons of credit card offers, and “if you have at least 10k credit card debt we can help”… etc… My “block number list” has hundreds of phone numbers on it.
I can’t believe Ford is that hard up to sell off their customer’s personal data, but evidently they are.
Point taken my friend… :+1:
If any of you think you are as internet savvy as ToyKeeper there is probably no real harm in putting your email address in a public forum.
However, if you do not have 1000 unique email addresses and a server setup with TK level protection please understand the risk involved with posting your email address in a public forum…
Indeed it is. I didn’t even know about that one before it was listed. Based on the communication drop, I can confirm that Simon is buried in work and emails…
Most decent email services are better than what I have set up. Ever looked in the spambox of a gmail account? They generally take care of all that noise automatically.
I’ve only kept my oldschool setup because I can’t help but tweak everything in reach, and I kinda like internet plumbing work. It’s not really a good thing. In the 1980s there were these computers called Lisp Machines, designed from the ground up to do absolutely everything in the Lisp language, an incredibly flexible and expressive language with no real abstraction ceiling limiting what it could do. The people who used these loved them, since they could customize literally everything about the software to their exact preferences and way of thinking. Each computer soon became an extension of its users. However, it also meant that each unit was incredibly personalized to the point that nobody else could use it. Each one basically spoke a different language than all the others.
That’s what I tend to do to almost everything I touch. It’s a bad habit.
Bumping my question
Now I will have to order a dozen of this drivers…And mod some lights again
