I'm German. One day my house was being renovated and they were working with jackhammers to remove parts of the facade. It was incredibly loud and I couldn't bear it. I lived close to university and had recently stopped working in one of the institutes. I knew though that my former colleagues had couches in some of their offices so I thought I'd give them a visit. I walked over to the institute and greeted my Australian former coworker. I explained about the noise in my house and said I was "looking for asylum". Knowing the word "asylum" only from written language, I had no idea it was not actually pronounced "ay suh lum". He asked "you're looking for what?" as he obviously hadn't understood. I repeated "ay suh lum" confidently and he politely said "ah". Not long after, I learned the correct pronunciation of asylum and that memory has haunted me ever since. It's been almost 10 years but I still cringe about it.

Den Ionentauscher? Ist das sowas wie ein Fluxkompensator?

Ich bin echt keine, die "das regelt der Markt" schreit, aber müsste sich das nicht irgendwie gegenregulieren? Von leerstehenden Ladenlokalen hat ja auch kein Vermieter was. Warum funktioniert das nicht?

I think those are the best ones.

Horrible. Think of all the people that could have reached their destination 17 seconds earlier than they can now.

This actually sounds like a really nice feature. Hope my Android phone will get it with an update.

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?

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?
