Light Mode InFFFFFFlation

Back in the day, light mode wasn’t called “light mode”. It was just the way that computers were, we didn’t really think about turning everything light or dark. Sure, some applications were often dark (photo editors, IDEs, terminals) but everything else was light, and that was fine. What we didn’t notice is that light mode has been slowly getting lighter, and I’ve got a graph to prove it. I did what any normal person would do, I downloaded the same...

Brimham Rocks in deep winter.

It's here in the Nidderdale National Landscape that you can a collection of some of the most fascinating rock formations in all the UK.

Even better when gently dusted with snow and ice.

Plenty more photos from this day are waiting for your impatient eyeballs, right here -> https://www.iancylkowski.com/blog/2026/1/17/brimham-rocks-nidderdale-national-landscape-winter 👍

A close-up, low-angle shot looks across a series of large, rounded gritstone boulders in the foreground towards the distant Eagle rock formation at Brimham Rocks. The foreground boulders are heavily textured with moss and lichen, their upper surfaces blanketed in a crisp, white layer of frost. On the closest rock, a circular pattern has been traced into the frost, revealing the dark stone beneath. In the mid-ground, a sparse cluster of leafless silver birch trees stands against a backdrop of more massive, weathered rock stacks. To the right, the Eagle formation rises prominently, its distinctive top-heavy shape silhouetted against a clear, vibrant blue sky. The low winter sun illuminates the scene from the side, creating long shadows and highlighting the sparkling texture of the frozen ground.A wide landscape shot captures the Blacksmith's Anvil, a dramatic gritstone rock formation at Brimham Rocks under a clear blue winter sky. The central focus is a large, weathered tor that tapers at its waist before flaring out into a wide, flat top resembling an anvil, its upper surfaces dusted with a fine layer of white frost or light snow. To the left, several other rounded, tiered boulders cluster together, also showing signs of frost. The foreground consists of uneven, sandy ground covered in patches of moss and a light dusting of snow, with low-lying brown bracken and a small evergreen shrub nestled amongst the rocks. The low winter sun casts long, soft shadows and bathes the scene in a warm, golden light, highlighting the rugged textures of the stone. In the background, a hazy horizon of distant trees sits beneath the vast, pale blue sky.A low-angle vertical shot captures a towering, weathered gritstone outcrop at Brimham Rocks under a bright, clear blue sky. In the foreground, a large, rounded boulder is partially covered with a dusting of white frost, revealing patches of dark, mossy stone underneath. To the left, a dense, reddish-brown heather bush huddles against the base of the rocks. The main rock formation rises steeply, its surface etched with horizontal layers and deep fissures from centuries of erosion. To the right, another large, rounded rock stack is visible, its top also dusted with frost. Bare, spindly branches of silver birch trees peek out from behind the central formation. The scene is bathed in the warm, low light of a winter sun, casting soft shadows and highlighting the rugged, ancient textures of the landscape.A wide, low-angle shot captures the dramatic "Castle Rocks" at Brimham Rocks on a crisp winter day. Two massive, weathered gritstone stacks frame a narrow passage, their surfaces heavily layered and textured with deep horizontal grooves and patches of vibrant green moss. The stack on the left towers upwards, its rounded edges catching the warm, low sun, while the stack on the right is partially covered in a dusting of white frost and snow. In the centre, a lone, delicate silver birch tree with bare, spindly branches stands atop a smaller rock formation, silhouetted against the bright, hazy sky. The foreground is a mix of dark earth, patches of frost-covered grass, and small tufts of dry heather, leading the eye through the rocky gap. The soft, golden light of the winter sun creates a serene and ancient atmosphere across the rugged Yorkshire landscape.

Their FAQ is soon good

HOW DO I OPERATE THIS NOODLE WAND?

It’s not science, it’s broth sorcery.

Pick up your ChopStraws. Hold 'em like regular chopsticks...you know the drill. (Or pretend confidently)

Grab your noods, your dumplings, your wontons...

Pause...Take in the moment. You're about to do something deeply unnecessary and wildly satisfying

Gingerly dip that sucker into your soup and SLURP. Like a classy Dyson vacuum. A broth hoover. A soup-sipping icon

Repeat until satisfied / mildly bloated / spiritually reborn.

Congress Wants To Hand Your Parenting to Big Tech

Lawmakers in Washington are once again focusing on kids, screens, and mental health. But according to Congress, Big Tech is somehow both the problem and the solution. The Senate Commerce Committee held a hearing today on “examining the effect of technology on America’s youth.” Witnesses warned...

I've long been wondering what ICs are used on these 60W USB PD supply boards as the markings have always been lasered off.

Now I saw one with the marking still on and the IC is available on LCSC! lcsc.com/product-detail/C42460

Wild that you can get a 60W DC/DC converter in a 4×4mm QFN16 package for 60ct.
