But just wait until all consumer image display and capture devices start using invisible-to-the-naked-eye watermarking and content protection, only allowing you to photograph sources which have explicitly granted permission to be photographed. :-)

Appreciate the feedback. For some reason I feel like I dismissed this as an option at one point, but that was long ago. I'll take another look!

Thanks for the info. I haven't looked at this in a while. I'll take another look!

Same. I wish there were an alternative (a practical pocket computer), but there really isn't. So I too gave up on fighting my phone, and have also completely stopped doing mobile development. I now treat my phone essentially as an untrusted, prepackaged walled garden with limited utility. :-/

Hah! This resonated with me. Maybe I'm just "getting old", but I fail to understand the value of 99% of this stuff...

Hah! IIRC, it was a binary tree of some sort.

I always find advice like this a little confusing. A lot of these things seem (to me) to be none of the engineers' business.

To me, engineers receive specs from management and implement solutions that meet those specs. And that's it.

I suppose my personal experience must not be how things work elsewhere! Kind of fascinating, and it makes me wonder if people enjoy all this extra responsibility and how things go when engineers disagree with management.

I'm shocked. *Shocked*, I say!
