LED beanie from Poundland
Added 2022-01-19 23:44:37 +0000 UTCNow I'm not going to say this is perfect, but it has its uses. It's definitely not going to replace my favourite head torch or keychain light.

I like their chunky and reckless USB connector.

2022-02-02 21:22:56 +0000 UTCI found these on Amazon a few years ago and bought two as they were cheap then. Used one a little bit but haven't really used it to it's potential, second was as a spare.

2022-01-20 14:58:11 +0000 UTCthere's no data connection on the pins so that's not a concern

2022-01-20 07:11:25 +0000 UTCI got one of those for Christmas I haven't gotten around to using it yet. I did notice the USB connector tho and I'm not sure what to think about it. I'm not going to plug it in to my computer that's for sure.

2022-01-20 05:24:44 +0000 UTC🤔 Hmm.. That beanie looks exactly like the ones sold in our “Kvickly” supermarkets in Denmark. (coop) I’ll look for it later today. I believe the latest version also includes built-in bluetooth headphones/speakers.

2022-01-20 00:41:33 +0000 UTCIn Canada and northern Michigan that is called a toque (pronounced tuke). In lower Michigan it is called a knit hat or cap. In Kentucky it is called a toboggan, which is the name for a type of sled everywhere else.

2022-01-20 00:03:49 +0000 UTCI had a colleague who had a cap with white LEDs which he said he swapped out with IR illuminator LEDs which (he maintained) flooded out CCTV cameras to foil ‘the man’ and his ubiquitous facial recognition. Feasible?
