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

2019-01-16 20:21:29 UTC  

The RX100

2019-01-16 20:21:55 UTC  

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

2019-01-16 20:23:04 UTC  

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

2019-01-16 21:06:38 UTC  

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

2019-01-16 21:23:33 UTC  

what would you use a Mi Band 3 for

2019-01-16 21:42:42 UTC  

reading notifications, fitness & sleep tracking

2019-01-16 21:43:05 UTC  

looking at the time

2019-01-16 22:33:34 UTC  

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

2019-01-16 22:33:43 UTC  

but okay

2019-01-16 22:44:42 UTC  

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

2019-01-16 22:45:07 UTC  

unless you're like me and abhor ringtones

2019-01-16 23:01:27 UTC  

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

2019-01-16 23:05:24 UTC  

Piece of wood behind it

2019-01-16 23:05:59 UTC  

In optimal angle for wanted lighting angle

2019-01-16 23:06:58 UTC  

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

2019-01-16 23:07:30 UTC  

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

2019-01-16 23:07:43 UTC  

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

2019-01-16 23:08:33 UTC  

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

2019-01-16 23:08:51 UTC  

Led strips.. Maybe +3c ambient

2019-01-16 23:09:15 UTC  

Worst temps come from the transformer/powerblock

2019-01-16 23:10:26 UTC  

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

2019-01-16 23:11:04 UTC  

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

2019-01-16 23:11:08 UTC  

Its all okay

2019-01-16 23:12:07 UTC  

It's like 4x 3m lines.

2019-01-16 23:12:41 UTC  

what spacing per meter

2019-01-16 23:13:01 UTC  

What do you mean by spacing?

2019-01-16 23:13:13 UTC  

Leds per meter

2019-01-16 23:15:24 UTC  

!answer 0.025*120*3

2019-01-16 23:15:25 UTC  

9

2019-01-16 23:15:48 UTC  

9A per 3 meter*

2019-01-16 23:16:11 UTC  

Wut

2019-01-16 23:16:27 UTC  

It's 12v, and 18w/meter

2019-01-16 23:16:34 UTC  

That's not 9a

2019-01-16 23:16:53 UTC  

A number was missing

2019-01-16 23:21:04 UTC  

Oh single colors so probly not 25ma per led

2019-01-16 23:25:08 UTC  

!answer 0.02 * 120 *3

2019-01-16 23:25:08 UTC  

7.2

2019-01-16 23:27:17 UTC  

Each of 4 runs is only using around 4.5a, power supply can do around 25a in peak-for-this-area-ever temps with zero cooling, 40a in why-would-you-visit-texas-in-the-summer heat if it's just mounted on a file cabinet to sink heat, each run has a 12AWG cable for power. So it's a bit overspecced.
