    Apps that can bulk scan Receipts to export to Text / CSV?

    Apparently Microsoft Lens used to do this very well, but not anymore. I need to find an app that can scan receipts and save them as text without having to jump through 20 steps first. Just plain, take a photo, have it convert it and export in bulk so that the excel macro can process the data...

    All you programmers out there, please chime in.

    I've interviewed a lot of places for one of my ongoing projects, this is all true. Keep in mind, I obviously don't mean these as absolutes. Any degree is vastly better than no degree, but obviously no substitute for a relevant degree. There's some implied practical nuance with what I said...

    All you programmers out there, please chime in.

    Seems like I missed the brawl. I hope OP got some insight into his question though. The chat about degrees is amusing though. A degree matters (a shocking amount) but not for any practical reasons relating to the job, it doesn't even matter what the degree is. The part that matters is the...

    Could we have a quick discussion about web hosting options with a bit of nuance?

    Could we have a quick discussion about web hosting options with a bit of nuance? With the sludge that search engines are these days, it's actually very hard to get some idea of what practical hosting options are out there. The pages that review such things, which get pushed by the search...

    Where to from here for me career-wise?

    Contact the Cyber Security companies, most have a paid internship. They're always recruiting since the demand is huge and few people apply. It's the kind of job that requires various disciplines and opens up an insane amount of doors for your career

    Android Development - The biggest piece of garbage I've ever coded in - But I still need help

    I've seen some wild errors, from the compiler not able to find the required files because Epic didn't bother to test if a particular version actually looks in the right directory, to similar bizarre things on the Android side. All of which the solution from the forums is to find either a work...

    Android Development - The biggest piece of garbage I've ever coded in - But I still need help

    Yes, none of that works, and it's the first place that I started. The bugs in the SDK does not play well with the bugs in Unreal Engine. And support for both just boils down to get a new phone so that you can use the latest builds

    Android Development - The biggest piece of garbage I've ever coded in - But I still need help

    This is a simple task.. or so it should be. I need an Unreal Engine mobile app to run on both my Tablet and my Phone, which runs Android 6 and 8 respectively. It's been 4 weeks of tinkering and pulling hair out.. nothing works. And it's near impossible to properly debug the issues because the...

    PICO 4 VR Headset - Software Development Thread

    What a nightmare! Weirdly not on the PICO side, although the lack of detailed documentation doesn't help. BUT, it's a pretty surreal feeling to be standing in the world that you just created. :) I'll post more details about the how's and trouble shooting later in the week

    PICO 4 VR Headset - Software Development Thread

    Well, I have one here with me, and my client has some cool ideas for what he wants to do with them. Many things that do well exclude the USA. Not sure why they are the be all and end all, or what it has to do with us. Just because VW dominates SA Market Share, should we stop working on other...

    PICO 4 VR Headset - Software Development Thread

    "Be the change you want to be.." There's little to nothing out there regarding the PICO VR Headset for Software Development, so I'm kicking things off. It certainly doesn't help that search engines are less useful each year, and that the Raspberry Pi dominates the word Pico. Useful...

    Wanted: GTX 1060 or above (Please Help!)

    Soon I'll be starting with work for a new client, Programming and building 3D Worlds for some Virtual Reality ideas that they have. I'm super excited! But uncle Murphy is at it again.. I have a GTX 1050 and for the Pico 4 they've sent me I need at least a GTX 1060 to install the drivers. Does...

    Please Help! Linux Mint (Ubuntu) cannot detect Alfa AWUS1900 Card..

    *Update.. and still not resolved. I've taken a break with this until recently. This card is just garbage for several reasons. No official support - contacting Alfa is pointless. I might just have a faulty device, but never got to have that conversation. So no idea. Power... Eventually got it...
