need better phones tbh. mfw people are seething that the sony compact line might be dead.

$200

heck...

I'm hopin it'll hit $150 by Q4

It's confirmed that XZ4C is coming out

Now whether it's the last one or not, I guess it'll depend on people buying it

But since no marketing

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i saw the case renders. it's of no interest to me. 5.5 screen minimum tbqh.

it'll depend on the price for me

we'll see

i'd buy a sony if they made a phone with thin bezels and if the camera had ois.

Isn't the new one's bezels thin?

Haven't really glanced at the big Xperia's renders

not enough tbh. mfw sony have never made a camera phone with ois. sad! also recent sony phones are oddly thicc

We'll see about OIS though. IMO, Sony's purposefully gimping their phone cameras to not cannibalize their point-n-shoot lineup

The RX100

I like that they're keeping the compact phones thicc, makes them easy to hold

yeah but a smartphone will never replace a compact camera. even some chink phones have ois.

Well compact cameras are fairly scarce nowadays because people think their phones are good enough for their usecase

my sister got gifted a Mi Band 3 for christmas, she hasn't really touched it

what would you use a Mi Band 3 for

reading notifications, fitness & sleep tracking

looking at the time

none of which seem to be useful if you don't go outside

but okay

Yeah it's not useful if you don't leave the house

unless you're like me and abhor ringtones

Anyone done LED strip+those extruded aluminum diffusers for lighting? Trying to figure out how best to get the aluminum to align well.

Piece of wood behind it

In optimal angle for wanted lighting angle

Kinda regret not just getting a 12' board and flattening it out and glueing the aluminum on.

I was worried about heat, but they're fucking LED strips, they don't generate shit for heat.

I've got those little clips up that the aluminum snaps into.

2x50w led with passive cooling generates barely 80c heat on casted light thrower(material of cast==chinknium)

Led strips.. Maybe +3c ambient

Worst temps come from the transformer/powerblock

I specced everything out for worst-case and then totally missed all the reasons that would never be an issue.

I mean as long as you dont use +5 meters on single line

Its all okay
