🇬🇧 Unfortunately, my beloved backpack got busted and I will have to buy something new soon. Can anyone recommend any cool product in terms of one shoulder backpacks (sling) or bags? Rather not want a backpack with two ears. Capacity of about 10L.

A Backpack Full of Skills: Egocentric Video Understanding with Diverse Task Perspectives
Human comprehension of a video stream is naturally broad: in a few instants, we are able to understand what is happening, the relevance and relationship of objects, and forecast what will follow in the near future, everything all at once. We believe that - to effectively transfer such an holistic perception to intelligent machines - an important role is played by learning to correlate concepts and to abstract knowledge coming from different tasks, to synergistically exploit them when learning n…

Looking for backpack recommendations. Have to carry around a very full and heavy backpack, and the current pack I have is giving me back problems because it has no good pelvis straps or ways to offload the weight from my upper back. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Nothing like waking up in a panic convinced you need to find the number for Deutsche Bahn customer service ASAP so you can try to retrieve a forgotten backpack accidentally left on a train...
I haven't been on a a German train in over a month and, in reality, the backpack in question didn't even go on the trip.
Weird dreams are weird.

Hot take: The best toilets (of the plain non-accessible ones) on European high-speed trains are in German ICEs. Rectangular and spacious, no acrobatics needed to take a backpack with precious things with you. No weird cramped triangular shape or tilted roof.

It's taking so long to get F-16s to Ukraine that you'd think they were being disassembled and carried in by backpack.

Field Report on a Wearable and Versatile Solution for Field Acquisition and Exploration
This report presents a wearable plug-and-play platform for data acquisition in the field. The platform, extending a waterproof Pelican Case into a 20 kg backpack offers 5.5 hours of power autonomy, while recording data with two cameras, a lidar, an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), and a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver. The system only requires a single operator and is readily controlled with a built-in screen and buttons. Due to its small footprint, it offers greater flexibil…

Back in the day when I was 2yrs out of high school and decided to backpack in Australia/NZ for a winter, I made the trip off the Island and to a friend's house in Vancouver only to realize I left my passport behind at a friend's house on the other side of the water in Nanaimo.
Today was not dissimilar. We got 20min of the way to the ferry only to discover I forgot our bag with all our documents.
After a bit of panic and wrangling and a kind assist from family bringing th…

We walked some new and some well known trails. Enjoyed the sound of a stream and also cleaned up nature a bit.
Oh and everything by foot or public transport (train and bus). We've be…

"I Packed My Bag and in It I Put...": A Taxonomy of Inventory Systems for Virtual Reality Games
On a journey, a backpack is a perfect place to store and organize the necessary provisions and tools. Similarly, carrying and managing items is a central part of most digital games, providing significant prospects for the player experience. Even though VR games are gradually becoming more mature, most of them still avoid this essential feature. Some of the reasons for this deficit are the additional requirements and challenges that VR imposes on developers to achieve a compelling user experienc…
