My cheap unbranded lamp has a red flashing mode. Just figured out it's flashing SOS in moerse code.

    I have a flashlight with a mode that does the same, and I had it for two years before I noticed.

    more and more a standard feature. I have cheap USB rechargeable light bulbs for tent camping without the danger of flames, and they also have an SOS mode.

        In Afrikaans that word is used to add emphasis, like “damn” funny. A bit impolite, but pretty common.

        I think it’s because the translation is “huge” or something.
