Don't know about FP3 specifically, but on some phones it's built-in in accessibility settings (all Samsung phones for example). For other phones you can try an app such as Button Mapper and assign "accept call" to a button.

Basically any Android phone where you can gain root access is capable, you can set up automatic recording of every call and set answering call with a button (like Volume Up).

You need to set it up using Apple device, then it works with Android.

"curl" in PowerShell is an alias to something else. There's also "curl.exe" that comes with Windows that is actually curl.

This game is published by Epic, it likely won't come to Steam for a very long time.

It's de facto a pay to play game (you need to buy "Prime Status" to play main game mode since it went free to play), monetization is fair gameplay-wise, only cosmetics.

Nice game! Consider using key codes instead of characters, right now to use WASD controls you have to switch language (to English or something else that uses latin alphabet I guess).

If extension requires new permission it wouldn't automatically update anymore until you allow it. It's enough friction for such an extension I guess, personally installed it for countless of people and most of them would just ignore updating it.

“We really wanted to accurately represent what someone would see from the ground where they were standing, we didn’t want to misrepresent what would be in the sky above you.” -- strange that shots with trailing stars are allowed in this case, you don't see them with a naked eye.

Here's an interesting blog post that explains how our new phones can now take pretty good night sky photos: https://ai.googleblog.com/2017/04/experimental-nighttime-pho...

I wonder why his game has no Steam trading cards, seems like a comparatively easy thing to add to boost sales a little bit and generate some money from Steam market transactions.

At least Aliexpress has notification settings, you can leave just messages notifications or disable them completely. With Photos there are no refined notification settings.

You can obviously disable all notifications of an app in Android itself but it cripples an app if some of those notifications are actually useful.
