This sounds like a fun idea, but similar to ehacke I doubt this would be legal. Payment processing is pretty complex and heavily regulated, making this an even harder project. There are some projects that want to make credit card payments m

We have them at work as well and I quite like them. It is just annoying if you have to constatntly re-adjust when someone else sat on your desk for a week. But that's not really an issue with the chair itself.

Given the size of hospitals around the world, I'd assume its not unlikely that they'll buy 100+ of these devices. I agee that this is somewhat confusing, but it doesn't seem too unrealistic. Also, it seems like the actual tes

You can't use it to record into seperate files. However, you can use it to make the necessary editing while recording the presentation. In OBS you can create Scenes with multiple video sources. The scene will be the output you see in t

I'm not 100% sure if I understood the problem right, but maybe OBS [1] could be an easier solution. You can use it to record screens and webcam streams. You can layout "scenes" with the video sources and use it while holding

Both Xbox One[1] and Playstation 4 [2] support keyboard an mouse input. However, irrc the games have to choose to support it, so there does not appear that there'd default mappings for the keyboard (which kind of makes sense). I think

Does it have to feel like a native app? Depending on the audience you're targeting, I'd argue that most people don't even care, as long as its a good user experience.

Okay, from a software engineering perspective you're 100% right. Browsers are a very complex system and they'll continue to grow. But try to see it from a user perspective. You as a software developer know how your system works. Y

I'd say the opposite is true. With more powerful browsers, you are making web applications more powerful and remove the need for a desktop app. Web apps, if built correctly, are probably more secure than desktop apps. Especially consid

Keeping track of the buisness hours of a specific office is way easier than keeping track of their timezone, business hours and then convert your local time to their time to see if they're actually open.

It might. But the Android phone manufacturers tend to build their own interpretation of the stock Android features. The main factor that confused me on the iPhone was the lack of a back button like I'm used to on my Galaxy.
