Hä? Das sind fast 15 Wochen

That is a good point, thanks. I do have a similar backpack but it's much smaller than my other one and has more room reserved for the camera than I would need. I think I will alternate between my default backpack with the hard shell case and the multi-chamber one for a while and see what works best.

That's good to know, thanks! I had thought about using one of those but wanted a bit more structural protection against random pressure from heavy stuff in the bag. I'll give it a shot (haha) then :)

True, never happened to me either. But usually I use dedicated camera backpacks where the gear is isolated pretty well. Or I'm really careful with how I put it in a bag when it's in a neoprene sleeve, for example. But I just can't guarantee I'll be careful every single day, so I want decent protection. There shouldn't be any pressure on the mount this way though, so I hope it'll be fine!

Yes that's what would happen. My backpack is surprisingly roomy though, it would fit a couple more things actually. But the lens and mount should be absolutely fine the way it sits in the case, no pressure at all there. So I think/hope you're right and will give it a try. Thanks! :)

 

This might be a stupid question but I'd like to carry my smaller camera in my backpack every day. That means that it would sit in there together with my work laptop and occasional groceries or other stuff that I buy on my way home, for example. Therefore I bought a hard shell case (it was very hard to find one that had roughly the correct size) and lined it with some foam. Now the thing is, the case fits pretty well, but it could be a tad higher - currently I put the camera in standing upright and then need to apply a bit of force to the top lid in order to close the zipper of the bag. That means that there will always be some pressure on the camera from top to bottom. That wouldn't be anything I'd worry about, but what if I additionally load a bunch of groceries on it. The way the camera sits in there I assume that the pressure will be immediately transmitted to the top of the camera. Will it be fine?

Here's some photos to illustrate the situation: https://imgur.com/a/e4msHvD

Honestly, if that is your impression, I think you're using it wrong and expecting the wrong results from it.

This shows how absolutely broken the American voting/party system is though.

I use it for little Python projects where it's really really useful.

I've used it for linux problems where it gave me the solution to problems that I had not been able to solve with a Google search alone.

I use it as a kickstarter for writing texts by telling it roughly what my text needs to be, then tweaking the result it gives me. Sometimes I just use the first sentence but it's enough to give me a starting point to make life easer.

I use it when I need to understand texts about a topic I'm not familiar with. It can usually give me an idea of what the terminology means and how things are connected which helps a lot for further research on the topic and ultimately undestanding the text.

I use it for everyday problems like when I needed a new tube for my bike but wasn't sure what size it was so I told it what was written on the tyre and showed it a picture of the tube packaging while I was in the shop and asked it if it was the right one. It could tell my that it is the correct one and why. The explanation was easy to fact-check.

I use Photoshop AI a lot to remove unwanted parts in photos I took or to expand photos where I'm not happy with the crop.

Honestly, I absolutely love the new AI tools and I think people here are way too negative about it in general.

Where do you get paid for your lunch hour? I'm in Germany and while work life balance is certainly a thing here, more so than in the US, a paid lunch break is something I have never heard about.

Die Argumentation von Merz kannst du hoffentlich nicht ernst nehmen. Wenn man jede männliche Fehlbesetzung von Ministerposten so behandeln würde, dürfte man eigentlich nur noch Frauen an den Job lassen.

My Ampler E-Bike I bought 2 years ago. More than 5000 km later I still love it to bits.

Not sure if that counts as technology, but simple LED lights over my kitchen counter (mounted under the upper cabinets) were a pretty inexpensive purchase that made my life significantly better. I don't understand now how I was ever able to cook with just the ceiling lights on, it's absolutely terrible.

 

I added a second lemmy account to Sync and on that second account posts aren't marked as read after I opened them. Sometimes they get marked as read after a reload, but only sometimes.

Is that a bug? Is there a solution?
