In Poland everything found in the ground belongs to the nation treasury (government) and performing excavation in order to look for things like this is illegal without specific permit. So if you find something you either stash it and don't talk about it or it goes to museums.
That's awesome! It made me a bit nostalgic, thinking back to the first program I ever wrote. It was a WoW bot that walked between the mailbox and the auction house, manipulating auction prices. The bot would drive the glyph prices to the bottom by lowering the lowest price by just 1 bronze to always be the cheapest when sorted by price. Then, it would buy up the entire market stock and offer everything for 50 gold each, starting the cycle again. It was glue code between Lua extensions and xdotool, all written in Bash, running WoW under Wine on Linux. The bot was pulling in about 20K gold per day on a single account.
The fun part is, I was 14 years old and had zero programming knowledge at the time—just a feeling that this process could be automated and access to Google. The bot was reading the game state by capturing specific parts of the screen and comparing MD5 checksums of where the buttons were supposed to appear. I used xdotool for mouse and keyboard input, along with in-game settings like Lua command execution inside the game console to target specific NPCs or mailboxes and click to move. It probably pushed me toward pursuing a career in this industry.
I'm working on android app that exposes camera stack trough http/websocket API.
The idea is that phones have very nice cameras and lot of media processing power and such API could enable hackers to easily incorporate capable camera stack in to their projects without android development experience in any language they like.
There are millions of working phones in the drawers battery backed, with plenty of computing power, nice cameras, hardware acceleration, good connectivity (WiFi, ethernet over usb), that could get new purpose.
Previously I was working on automated photogrammetry rig and this is perfect use case for that.
If you see other use case for such API share your ideas.
If you think that's cool idea to develop and would like to help write me at [email protected]
I checked droidcam before and AFAIK it solves the problem of using adnroid device as webcam using server and client apps.
I want to expose low level camera capabilities like manual focus controll, capturing raw images, iso, etc. DroidCam exposes only subset of functionality I need.
In short i want it to be more like programmable controlled digital camera than webcam.
BTW scrcpy offers similar features trough adb to DroidCam.
I am looking for opportunities where I can bring my Python development and QA automation skills to life. My experience includes leading the implementation of an underwriting engine in fintech, creating several products for classical musicians, developing an MVP for a cargo tracking product, hacking LTE modems for high-quality residential proxies, writing drivers/automation for testing sensors on robust electrical motors or using python for programmatic model generation in CAD. I am passionate about backend development, testing automation and hacking stuff for fun and profit.
I thrive on diving into innovative projects and driving impactful solutions, especially when some physical aspect (e.g. hardware) is involved. While I prefer remote roles, I am open to relocating for the right opportunity.
I put my Logitech MX keyboard in the bag with few other things and one of the keycap broke off. Completely my fault. Since the key mechanism was intact I have told their support what happened and asked if they sell replacement keycaps and got completely new keyboard for free.
Great support but I was left with mixed feelings since I still had almost completely working keyboard and I think the experience would be better if they would send me just the keycap.
