FrickAndMortar@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What is the thing that resembles a camera shoe under the handset holder found on telephones with a handset used for?2·1 year agoYeah, same! I thought I had a pretty good guess from the context, but “cold camera shoe” is a new term for me. Glad Lemmy has such a great community though, there are some awesome responses in this thread!

Here’s a site selling them, but it has a diagram showing where it’s located:

FrickAndMortar@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Are there any applications that can turn an old smart phone into a wildlife/security camera?English1·2 years agoI’ve run it on an iPhone 5 or 6, I don’t recall… had it watching my living room for a month while I was away, and aside from a few false positives when light patterns changed due to the wind blowing tree branches around, it was excellent.
Unironically, I totally agree. Commentator is dumb and redundant, commenter is the superior alternative.
Just because you do it for a living, doesn’t mean that it’s a different title; a carpenter doesn’t become a carpentator because it’s a paying job. A pilot doesn’t become a pilotator when they get paid for it.
