Sadly, I've never seen any gamma-emitting LED. Or even any X-ray LED. That's too bad, there's so many "fun" stuff we could build with that...
I bet you could find a few gamers to buy your prototype "ultra hard light" CoCs LED where you've just got to figure out how to turn it off.

If you happen to find any semiconductor materials with electron energy band gaps that large, you can probably get yourself a Nobel Prize, because anything above about a couple of volts is called an insulator, not a semiconductor, and even really good insulators have bandgaps not much above 10–15eV, or so.
Damn. You just had to ruin everything with physics!

@HardwareGeek 100keV is well past the total electron stripping energy for anything I can think of. It's so far of y the electronic energy scale it's not even in the same solar system.
Hence the reasoning behind bomb-pumped lasers ;)

I've always liked the CW chemical lasers, it has a goddamn rocket motor inside using Flourine and Hydrogen as the reactants. Physics doesn't get much more than that :)

@Cursorkeys *researches* yes, I suppose anything that is improved by adding deuterium somewhere is immediately preferable.
Hence why PHWRs are clearly better; somehow they can get away with natural, unenriched uranium for fuel.

Currently, my desktop tower is a black and very opaque monolith, so there can be any number of retarded RGB lights

I very recently changed graphics card but didn't want to install the software just to disable the LEDs on it so it now glows inside the case.

@TimeBandit
It's an an ad, and a camofulage net in one. The railway folks didn't manage to repaint the rusty bridge on time (typical of them) before UEFA football games in 2012, so they talked with OSRAM, and the company agreed to put a white cloth lit with their new RGB leds on it for free. The cloth was soon removed because it acted like a sail and moved the entire construction in strong winds (there even was a temporary 20km/h speed limit after train drivers reported seeing the overhead wire wobble half a meter side to side), but the LEDs were still there last time I checked, the colors can be programmed individually for every segment.

If it's anything like real Razor products then it'll start off well, then the bread will randomly disappear..if you wiggle the wire it'll come back but it will have turned into a croissant and the darkness control will have reset to max, which is inexplicably the default.
-
@Cursorkeys Also, the default toasting time is about 45 minutes - enough to set your bread on fire - and the only way to select a different time is to connect the toaster to their cloud app that monitors your toasting habits and uploads them to mysterious servers across the world.
But, on the other hand, if you ever find yourself using one of their toasters elsewhere, you can get your preferred toasting settings my merely logging in to the cloud app.
Finally, the toaster includes a coin miner, so when you're aft, the toaster will mine "Razer Silver" and keep your home nice and toasty.

Wait. Shouldn't mining be how it toasts the bread?

I have a Razer mouse that I've never had any problems with. It's the only Razer product I've ever owned (and probably ever will).
(Okay, it's actually my second Razer mouse, but only because my sister's cat knocked over a beer which spilled on the first one and fried it.)

I hope you get rid of her (cat I mean, not sister).
I got rid of both, in a way. I haven't lived with my sister for several years now, and that cat died a few years ago, too.

Are these connected? Perhaps it is best if we never find out…

Railway companies here are indeed turds. And Post Office.
Two things that should be burned to the ground.

Post office is much worse. At least trains don't get lost randomly, unlike letters and packs, and you don't usually encounter the train crew standing on the platform telling you that the train already left and you didn't board it.

I was putting my shoes on in my hall once when one of those "Sorry, we missed you" cards came through the letterbox.
Got outside to see postie nearing his van. When I shouted, the git ran to it and drove off...with me chasing him down the road.

I used to travel a lot, and only once I've seen a train being canceled (due to a bomb threat). That doesn't mean there are no delays - I once spent 7 hours on in express train stuck on some god forsaken stop (name impossible to remember), because some local folks stole the wires and we got both pantographs broken. But in my book that's still better than what Polish post office is pulling in recent years.
They just steal all unregistered mail if it contains anything heavier than a single sheet of paper (I heard they hire prisoners in their back office, which is not surprising given the wages), and registered mail is never delivered - they don't even try, just put the 'we missed you' notice, and force you to stand in a 2-hour long line behind dozens of old farts who can't make a transfer and pay their bills with cash.

Isn't it because they literally empty out right under the car (no storage)?

That used to be it, although the last time I saw a train loo like that must have been in early noughties' Germany. Even trains in Laos are more modern now. Both of them!

Italy, 2000. I haven't been on a train in Europe since then. Look into the toilet and see the track below.

I think those trains have been gone (or refitted to have tanks for receiving that stuff) for quite a few years here, despite commuting daily on them. I've not been exhorted to not use the toilet in a station for ages, whereas it used to be a common theme. OTOH, I try to avoid using the toilet on the train if I can. I prefer to have fewer random environmental accelerations when relieving myself…

At least on a train you (typically) have only two degrees of possible movement potential. On a plane it's much more fun!

It depends very much on the track quality.

Might as well; it could already change your house's lights to match the website you're viewing through Hue integration. Thankfully those integrations are off by default.

A friend of mine is contemplating making an ambush for a postman, because he keeps doing this to him (sometimes not even leaving notes) and he had a bunch of stuff returned for which he had to pay shipping and handling and refunds.
I was planning to do the same, and beat him up if he tries the 'we missed you' stunt again. If he presses charges, I have an alibi, provided by no other but himself.
-
@levicki said in RGB LED EVERYTHING!!:
they enter the building, toss the "we missed you" notification in the mailbox and off they go.
UPS once failed to deliver something, and according to the email notification (I think it was a signature-required package or something) it was because "nobody was home." Except that day was a super-nice day and my roommates and I were out on the front porch almost the entire day.
-
I don't remember if it was UPS, DHL or TNT, but I remember having the following conversation with them:
"clickety-click It's alright sir, our tracking shows that the driver picked up the parcel at your address 30 minutes ago."
"Really? That's interesting. Because I've been home all day, nobody rang, and that parcel is still right in front of me right now."
"huuuuuuh please hold"

UPS/FedEx/etc constantly claim a package was signed for by the apartment property manager. But when I stop at the office on the way home, they don't know anything about it, and the package is just sitting right outside my front door. Clearly some drivers forge signatures.

Oh, it's a simple misunderstanding. It's not about you signing, but rather the delivery man. And not of the receipt, but rather of territory.
