Someone has been trying to break into my home so I have been recording videos. I noticed that sometimes the screen will get blurry and hard to see while recording then will clear back up mostly and I can see images of people and things that move but are transparent and not there when you look with your eyes. Does anyone know what's going on or how this is possible.

Just going by your description of the situation, this sounds more like to be a matter of the webcams you're using just can't do what you're expecting. This wouldn't be some kind of 'hack' issue nor a failure of the webcams themselves, it's just that a lot of consumer-level, off-the-shelf webcams have inherent limitations. The motion-detecting sensors and recording sensors are usually good in daylight situations but performance drops significantly at night, but it's typical for there to be a noticeable lag while the sensors try to assess what's detectable and the auto-focusing of the lens and/or aperture. If these are just common webcams, you'll need to upgrade to something more capable or reset your expectations on what they can provide. If these are however higher-grade webcams, there's likely to be sensor adjustment settings in the camera settings menu. (... which might be something to look into no matter what webcams you have). Most webcams have detection level options (i.e. really sensitive so even when a cat walks past will trigger auto-activating or not too much so only something like a vehicle passes by gets recorded.)

Why is there no hot spot on the LG 5 but the LG 4 had one? Grrrrrrr

so looks like the phone has the hotspot capabilities, but you need have the hotspot option in your plan. most carriers offer it for free, but on some you may have to pay extra for it.......so it will depend on your carrier as @Dannydet suggested. so i would either go in or give your carrier a call.

Surely you'll have to unlock the phone before you can view files over USB?

Of course if the pictures are on the sd card it's easy: buy a USB card reader, put the sd card in it and plug it into the computer, then you'll be able to read the card like any other storage device. Or you can use another phone if you have one with a card slot. It's if they are in the phone's internal storage that you will need to remember the PIN.

Convert solar lamp to electric?

I am glad you have your fairy light working too, I almost went up there, like a few days or so back to pick up some art supplies, I might consider o do like a different mediumn, maybe clay with a easel, and just have a pop up artwork, photograph it.. but what would the paint would look like underneath it? Hmmm... I too was thinking oddly enough of a fantasy type thing..

Extract data from .trace files (from the profiler in android studio) for visualization?

minimum nebula
So, I have a few .trace (CPU performance) and .heapprofd (Memory usage) files that I exported from android studio profiler. However, I want to know is it possible to extract the performance timeline data from these files to visualize them externally (say using python)?

I understand these files contain a lot of information but I am only really interested in the overall CPU and memory consumption data. Also, if there is any other application that can allow me to export CPU performance and Memory consumption of my app in a more readable file, that works for me as well. All I want is to profile my app and visualize the performance externally (so I can customize the graph).

Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

SMANSUNG GEAR ACTIONDIRECT

The_Chief
Please understand that Samsung Gear Action Director is the stitching program for the Gear 360 VR camera, which is abandonware and no longer supported by Samsung. In fact, the Samsung Gear app that connects the camera to the phone will not even work with Android versions newer than Android 7 - which is why I'm experimenting with it using my OLD Android 6 Moto X Pure Edition. Not knowing what phone you are using with the Gear 360, it's difficult to determine a cause for the failure if the camera is not sending images to the phone (or the phone can't process them). Make sure you go to APK Mirror and get the latest version of Action Director for your PC.
