Back in the days of first iPhone apps, there was an app for that. I don't recall the name of that app; but it may be this `Blower`. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/blower/id335862325

I liked that it's simple to use, with a basic UI and gets the job done. Might be evolved to a time tracking app for other businesses, freelancers, etc.

The links are still not working. Tried on Mac with Safari and Chrome, on Ubuntu with Chrome and Firefox.

Microsoft has a mobile app "Office Lens". Useful to take pictures of the papers. It auto-corrects the positioning of the frame.

> Nowadays everyone - myself included - is trying to have an excuse to try the sexiest JS framework of the day and most of us fail miserably to deliver anything useful - because of lack of experience or just reinventing the wheel altogether.

That reminded me the article titled "How it feels to learn JavaScript in 2016" https://hackernoon.com/how-it-feels-to-learn-javascript-in-2... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12628921

Not in Oculus in the demo, but there is this Veeso [1] with additional cam for face tracking.

I can see it on my iPad with no problem.

I tried this and run startx.

What i get is only a black screen. Even though i restarted my laptop, still black screen.

How can i return back to Unity?

"We are solving the problem of users downloading their files to their local machine and then uploading it to their Dropbox (huge files)."

At first, it makes sense. But after a second thought; this (uploading directly to Dropbox) will happen when and if you want to download that file only for backup or to use/view it later.

Because if i use the app and save that "huge" file directly to Dropbox, i have to wait for it to be downloaded to my computer to use/view it.

Did i understood correctly? Or it saves the file locally as well?

Yesterday I came across this app. You take the photo and it tells you what it is. We tried lots of shoots. If it cannot find -say the brand name, etc.-, it interprets the taken photo and defines the object.

The results that i received was like below. Black Necklace, Child's Toy Fan, "X" Remote Controller , "X" Water Bottle, Black hanging light with metal surrounding frame. ("X" is the brand name)

How can it do it? Ok, Goggles searches in the images databese to match the image... But this one is interpreting the image. How???

Just because of this "Unknown or expired link" thing, i fill up my browser with lots of tabs.

When i open HN, i open the links that interests me in new tabs. And immediately click on "More" to see the next page.

Seems very nice and useful.

I don't know if this is the right way, but Apple should definitely find a way for - Easy turn on/off Wi-fi, 3G, etc, - Closing all running apps at once.

Good tip. I checked it but "close friends" is empty.

But you may be right. Even though i don't interact on Facebook; i only check what videos/pics/news they shared and click the ones that i am interested in. (not even 'like' them)

But as you said, Facebook is probably tracking my 'clicked news/pics' and show those friends' activities.

I will monitor it for some time.

Thank you all for the tips. Have a great weekend.

Thanks for your reply.

No, i haven't grouped any of my friends; neither "close friends" nor the others. That's why it's weird.
