[Review] Wurkkos FC11 - 18650 EDC with USB-C

Haines1997 · 2022-06-17T17:38:16.000Z

If anyone has one of these for sale in the UK, would be very interested in buying one of these as a complete newbie to this world. Thanks!

Are there any news if the Wurkkos FC11 is flashable with Andúril?
(my googling suggest so far no)

You say the FC13?
We have just produced samples and are currently testing its stability.

Maybe don’t use the number 13?

Why Not ?

In some cultures it’s unlucky.

Which reminds me, I need to crack it open and see what MCU footprint this is using. It would be so much better with Anduril or even RampingIOS (D4 V2 UI). If it’s like it’s cousin once removed, the Sofirn SC31, it’s a PIC-style SOIC8 which means an ATtiny412 could be dropped in.

I asked about modding the FC11

@Wurkkos Do you mean the FC13 is a new lamp, replacing the FC11?

Thank you Gunga for your great suggestion.
We must respect the diversity of culture.
I will apply to Wurkkos to modify the number immediately.

We do not need to respect superstitious mumbo jumbo.

Apple was not afraid to use ‘iPhone 13’

If we consider superstitious numbers like 13, does that mean Chinese companies would have to be conscious of the number ‘4’?

What about using a Nichia 519A 4000K, and a raised ring around the button to better be able to feel in the dark where the button is? Then it would be just about the perfect light-weight small daily pocket lamp.

Every time I use my F13, I conjure up The Satan.

My mom used to date a guy that pronounced Satan "Satin."

I wonder who taught him how to mispronounce The Satan like that.

I mean, he watched a lot of television and must have known the correct way to say that word.

At least he’s not lysdexic. I’ll never forget that time I sold my soul to Santa.

Santa has a lot of great stuff.

...

I wonder what Santa would offer me for my soul.

Satan wouldn't even accept my soul.

Something about me being too evil and him not needing the competition.

Lightbringer · 2022-08-11T00:38:18.000Z

Santa kept wanting me to “lick his candy-cane” but that sounded too creepy, so I got a refund and got my soul back.

raccoon · 2022-08-11T00:55:53.000Z

Umm, nope.

I'll just keep my soul.

But Millhouse will offer you $5 for your soul.
In today’s inflated dollars thats probably $10-15!

Yes, it is a update from FC11 ,There are also some new ideas in button light and design

I haven't watched The Simpsons in a while.

Is Millhouse still around?

If so, wouldn't the $5 be worth $5?

(Or maybe that's the joke.)
