Lots of tricky LL that the hint button doesn't catch, so keep an eye out for those. They're mostly squares that can be marked blank due to all the 1 and 2 clues in the bottom 10 rows.

After running out of LL the first time, I took a look at R22. The black square in C36 must be part of the 4, 5, or the last 1. If it's any longer than 2, it causes a contradiction in R21, so it must be the final 1 clue, and R22C37 is white. Do some LL, including looking out for those tricky bits.

Next take a look at C31. If R8C31 is black, it creates a contradiction in C32, so mark that square white.

LL solves from there.
