So based on this thread/post http://www.neowin.ne...t__p__595041451 Inspired by sanctified.

I got "bitten" by the rucksack bug, specially those with such a sleek design as the GR 1. My only issue with it is it's price which is near $300. So low and behold my search began to find something along those lines.

So far my list is:

Goruck GR1

Killspencer special ops --- very nice, but too expensive -

Pacsafe Luggage Venturesafe 32l Travel Backpack

Mountain Hardwear Paladin Daypack

Pacsafe Luggage Ultimatesafe 32l Backpack

Victorinox Altmont 2.0 Slimline Laptop Backpack Padded Computer Pack - Black --- kinda meh... But it looks alright.

Arc'teryx Blade 30 Backpack

Thule Crossover 30 Liter Backpack

Tasmanian Tiger Mission Pack - reviews are scarce, but apparently very badly built.

edit adding:

Three Day Elite - Black by Sandpiper of california

BlackHack ultra light 3

And googling the hell i've manage to make the list bigger, instead of narrowing down my choices!

So as usual with all my threads, There are probably a lot of people here on neowin who use miliatry grade backpacks, so chip in the knowledge!

Goruck might be pricey but it worths the moment you realize it's a backpack that can last your entire life.

You cant go wrong with Victorinox either, also I've heard great things about the Arc'teryx.

I know I know, I'm almost made up on the GR1, but just as you pointed out the GR1, who knows there might be something "else" out there :p

Before purchasing anything, what are you going to be using this pack for?

If it's for general everyday cargo, then any decently priced pack will do

Now if you are going to be hiking, camping or anything like that, the first thing you need to do is find the ones with ergonomic backs to include a kidney belt and torso strap, nothing will kill the experience than a pack that doesn't fit or that is not comfortable

Not to say you can't spend more for an everyday pack, but if you have a budget these would be how I would start

This is the one I have w/ patrol pack:

http://www.campingsu...-90-field-pack/

The CPF-90 is nice as it's about 120-150 USD and it's really durable.

Way to big! And not really looking into the Cameo - multicam look, but you never know I guess :p

I take you didn't like the bluelounge packs I showed you days ago? Those are very classy looking but built like tanks... and not expensive.

I actually like those A lot( seeing as i'm a tree hugger, eg environmental engineer), the only thing I disliked was http://www.bluelounge.com/products/bags/backpack/ Was that the fact that it doesn't completely close, eg if the clasp comes loose something might fall out with noticing.

Daily use bags (non- military) aren't too expensive. The catch is, the military-grade bags are bigger, heaver and built to last. I would bet money that I could throw my CFP-90 fully loaded down the side of a mountain and it would be fine.

I'd recommend using one bag for camping/hiking and another for daily use.

Cheaperthandirt has a lot of options.

    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
    • Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.
    • I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.
