My real name is Roberto but my online handle is Nicba (shortened to Nick).
I just wanted to introduce myself and say thanks for all the content here, I’ve been reading it a lot these couple of days.
I got interested because I was looking for a flashlight for my grandpa and I guess just got pulled into the rabbit hole. I gifted 3 convoy S2+s already (to my mom, grandad, and brother), I have a personal one, and I just ordered a Q8 from Sofirn. I am really impressed by what flashlights can do today they are insane. I have a couple chinese zoomies, but both lack in quality and aren’t nearly as good looking.
Professionaly I’m technically an Android developer, but I’ve lately been doing C development and Devops for the company I work for, it’s been a lot of fun and I may change my career a bit. I’m 22 and just starting my Masters, and always looking for new things to play with and spend time/money on.
Hahha, hi id30209, we are kinda close. I’m probably staying in Croatia because I will inherit a property in Velika Gorica (a couple ten thousand euros of refurbishing needed, but it will be worth it) and soon plan to start my own company (hopefully 2-3 years from now once I’m done with my masters, since a full time job + full time masters is quite time consuming). My current employer pays really well so I’m not in a rush to get anywhere and offers relocation to Germany if I want!
So you jumped in at the deep end and spent a considerable amount of money to start with.
Now you know what a lot of conversation with friends an neighbours are about.
We are not done just buying a flashlight, there are additional costs for batteries and chargers.
Though most people have €5 flashlights, they are open for thinking about a real light.
But when I talk about the additional costs, a lot of them run off to grab a beer (or two).
But in time you will learn that buying more lights lowers the additional cost per light
Hey everyone sorry for not responding, it was my bday yesterday so no time.
NeutralFan I’m glad I made the right choice
Yokiamy thanks
Henk4U2 yeah there are a lot of other costs but to be honest for just a single flashlight it wasn’t that much. I got all of them convoy S2+es + 2x Panasonic NCR18650B + a 5.5 dollar liitokala charger.
MRsDNF hi :), yeah I’ve seen. I’ve actually been porting the flashlight fw repository to use CMake so I can build it on Windows, macOS and Linux with no issues.
bilakos10 thanks
christoph hi lemme guess, you are in Germany or Australia?
Mraz hahahahha
