I hate all this stuff, I wish Google just blocked all GPL code for me so I never had to see any of it. I have committed to many open source projects and have open soured my own projects. Of course I appreciate anyone is free to use what eve

For me, the benefits of Truecaller outweigh the negatives. It was a step towards my phone being useable again for the purpose of making and receiving calls (at times I seem to get flurries of spam calls so it is great being able to simple i

1. I travelled the world for a year. 2. During that time I took lots of photos (around 10,000). 3. I put them into albums per city (around 150). 4. I wanted the photos in date taken order per album. Sadly Flickr doesn't

Not disagreeing, but answering the question of are all phones ARM: no, there Intel too. Source: had to add Intel build support for our Android SKUs to run on said phones. Some Unity stats from about 6 months ago indicated: ARMv7: 98.1

Buying the right BOGOF items saves money. For instance, after spending a lot of time trying different options, I now know exactly what face soap I want and I also know the price it sales for. From time to time, it'll be sold as a BOGOF

I have used Skype a lot for calling landlines and mobile phone numbers, in particular for people overseas where the phone bill would otherwise be high. I have also used this when I have zero phone reception but have access to Wifi.

A good combination is uBlock Origin and Nano Defender (both correctly configured, there are steps you can follow online). uBlock Origin does a good job of blocking most stuff, and Nano Defender does a good job of stopping sites from detecti

Yes, but not unusual, as well as Unity we have similar blocks from MS, Sony, Oculus, Nintendo. One good thing is that rather than us hitting lots of blocks with the hardware manufacturers with regards to the engine, Unity handles this inste

I wonder, if you accepted a little delay, say 20 seconds, could you use Shazam to identify what song is currently playing? I have been amazed at the range of music Shazam can identify, if you could do regularly queries and separately listen
