Can someone explain me why all phones now have that stupid ass camera bump?
  • You might find the OM5 to be a good option if you still want a "real" camera that's not point and shoot and still really small. With a pancake lense and big pockets it should be pocketable. I got a used EM5 which is the old version of a very similar body and with the pancake lense it feels like a point and shoot with good ergonomics and lots of manual control options.

    I think Lumix has some options as well.

  • I get why ISP provided routers and some brands of mesh router would collect and sell data but what is it about "mesh" that is particularly bad here? I have a cheap TP Link router that is apparently mesh compatible but it seems like a traditional router in all the other way. Should I be concerned?

  • The ones telling you that politics are about simple issues, or that our problems are easy to fix, are trying to use you
  • They may not be centerists when seen through that Overton window of the USA in 2024, but in terms of the modern political spectrum they definitely are. There's barely a social policy they have that isn't already enacted for decades in more progressive countries and states.

  • We Just Lived Through Two of the Hottest Days Ever. Does Anyone Care?
  • Unfortunately we have to do both. We need big industry to reduce but we also need a massive change in our behaviors. Industry must be forced to make these changes because they are purely profit driven and don't take into account 2nd order costs of their actions. People can make choices to improve their personal impact on the environment, and every little bit counts.

    For example, if everyone who can uses more public and active transportation, then that leaves more capacity for those who can't. Making less cars is better than making more EVs. Personal transport is a significant source of pollution even if it's not close to the biggest.

  • The local version of this in southern California is the Banh Mi, a Vietnamese sandwich on a baguette. Less than 10 years ago you could get a good banh mi for 3 or 4 bucks, and these days even the cheapest I've seen are $6.50 and many places are charging over $10 for this perfect sandwich. At least double in under 10 years :(

  • Registered Republican, how about that...
  • That's not really true. Mostly it's him struggling to describe all the ways that he's been one of the better progressive presidents despite having a completely non functional congress and outright hostile court. The only message that sticks is how awful Trump is because it's easy to say and understand, and is obviously true to some and obviously false to others.

  • Looking at the datasheet and pictures I think the heatsink is just aluminum. Looks like an extrusion (which means it's the same shape over the full length) with a solid center that they machine down in the middle area to mount the LEDs. The large amount of material and good conduction of the aluminum will absorb and distribute the heat without needing water cooling or heat pipes.

    These LEDs use up to 200W and the heatsink on here probably weighs more than 10x as much as a heatsink on a 500+W graphics card. Watercooling and heat pipes are necessary when you need to get a lot of heat out with a minimum amount of material, such as for cars and home computers. Costs more than a big block of aluminum but the you don't need to move that much wieght around. For a light like this, the extra weight and space it takes up doesn't matter.

  • Sync Bug? Most posts are not marking as read

    Recently I started noticing that a lot of posts will mark as read for a second then go back to unread when viewing just the image or article. It's not all posts though and I haven't determined a pattern yet, but opening the comments seems to mark as read on refresh even though the post looks unread before refreshing.

    I'm on version 122 of Sync on Android.

  • Clickbait.

    Article is nearly 10 years old.

    Article contains no studies or surveys showing this result.

    The 50% figure is calculated by assuming a paltry annual raise and consistent large pay bumps by switching companies.

  • All read posts being hidden forever

    *** Solved: it was pointed out there is a Lemmy setting that enables showing read posts, rather than a Sync setting.

    At some point I think I enabled a setting to hide read posts automatically, but now I can't seem to find a way to stop this behavior. There is also no method to unhide posts. So now once I've read a post, after I refresh it is gone forever in the app.

    Tried resetting all settings back to default and erased user data in android but it seems stuck, maybe to my user account?
