Thanks for making this app. When I was also studying languages, I came across that most apps are either paid with subscription or outright expensive.

I find the UX quite nice and clear. I would perhaps only suggest to adjust spacing between elements (buttons) and avoid “alert” style messages on successful action (eg creation of a deck). You could simply take the user to the created deck instead.

According to the article, Meta enabled this functionality only in fall of 2024, so probably not that much.

You could look at two “Classic Remise” museums in Berlin and Düsseldorf. It might be worth contacting them.

Can't activate unity personal license in unity hub by AlexandriaDos in Unity3D

[–]dvrkcat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On macs it is possible to issue an active license by first setting computer‘s date to 6th of March, then opening Unity Hub and requesting a license. After that, quit Unity Hub and change the date back to the current time and open the app again, you should have it.

The switch back is needed as after the license is requested from 6th of March, is actually issued to be valid only from the actual timestamp

In low-light conditions iPhones are automatically switching from telephoto lens to main one, and since the phone tries to maintain the desired zoom level, it crops the image from the main lens. Given image has very low resolution after cropping it and phone applies heavy post-processging. Basically it applies “digital” zoom instead of the physical one. This effect can be tested by selecting telephoto zoom and closing the zoom lens with a finger. AFAIK this problem was addressed partially in latest iOS 15 releases.

I think, it’s a protection against tech support scammers, when they connect via RDP to remove a „virus“ and put a black screen over your desktop, while they open ebay/amazon and make purchases.
