I'll give the opposing opinion that YNAB's auto-import works well for me (I use it with a local credit union, 2 credit cards, and an online savings account). In fact, I used my own homebrew budgeting software for over a year before I found that YNAB exists and does everything I needed from my own software plus imports from banks automatically which was my biggest pain point with my own solution (it involved painful csv exports every month). I have been happy with YNAB for a year and a half at this point. Your luck may depend on which bank(s) you want it to work with. I believe their bank import api provider was recently acquired by Plaid so they are now using Plaid (as I understand it).
They are using Plaid, and yeah, it varies wildly by bank.
FWIW, I don't know that having a bank that doesn't play nice with Plaid is a deal-killer. There is a school of thought among many YNAB users that you should not use the auto-import, or even csv/ofx/whatever import, because manually entering transactions takes only a few minutes a day, and gives you much better awareness of your outflows. I can see some merit to that, insofar as tightly controlling your spending is kind of YNAB's whole thing.
Even with auto-import, you still have to "approve" each individual transaction that is imported, at which time you can assign it to a category (or approve the auto-suggested category). So that works for me in terms of being aware of spending on a regular basis. And if you manually enter some transactions as you spend, it automatically matches them up with your bank's version of those transactions as you import so you don't end up with duplicates. So it's okay to use it in a hybrid mode where you sometimes enter transactions manually and sometimes wait for them to show up automatically.
im conflicted about this. hate to hand over millions to ISP's just to prove a point. I'd rather put the money towards starting a competing anonymized ISP.
I just tried taking some shots at my desk and while it focused fast, I wouldn't say it's living up to the hype of 6 multi focal shots per second.
EDIT: It appears that they are using the MEMS acronym, not the branded product. The component itself does not look like the MEMS|Cam branded components either.
Edit 2: Just read more on MEMS and if this phone has MEMS, then the camera software is NOT supporting it. It can take up to a solid second for the camera to make even minute adjustments.
It would surprise me if it had it, or if it supported it, because from what I noticed, the photos tend to have some focus issues.
I also think Google needs a whole rewrite for the Android camera app, by camera experts, because the camera is becoming a great competitive advantage, and I think the Android camera app/driver framework is keeping a lot of OEM's back. If they do rewrite it and make it very good for Android 5.0, they will hopefully allow it to be installed to other devices, too, like they already did for the keyboard and launcher.
I don't care if they rewrite the camera app, so much as standardize a sufficient set of fine grained APIs so that other people can write great camera apps. I know there's a lot of low level, custom interaction with the DSP that is hard to capture in an API, but the current level of granularity is just woefully inadequate. If they just focused on getting a really detailed standard API as part of Android I'm sure a thousand beautiful camera apps would bloom and we might even see a whole new mini-industry come from specialist camera apps for specific situations.
I thought they re-wrote it when Photosphere came out and I seem to remember there being some sort of animated-gif/parallax gif feature being added that I can't seem to find.
I totally agree...time to get a decently functioning camera in there.
It's likely referring to a MEMS gyroscope used for optical image stabilisation. A MEMS camera doesn't exist, it was rumoured to be a MEMS motor was used as part of the focusing system.
There's an oblique hint in the source code, sometimes.
Though with that one, the first line of the hint helped me, but the second just confused me (I've just looked up the full story behind the "Run run" reference -- I suppose it was a reminder of the ending to the story? Lost on anyone who doesn't remember the full thing, though...).
Having never heard that tale, I was stumped. I supposed it is part of US culture? I'm from Sweden myself, so if I was told the story as a child, it wouldn't have been in english anyway.
"We offer a free, monthly renewable plan! This plan lets you wake up 5 URLs every 30 minutes. At the end of the month, we send you a mail with a link to renew your free plan. As easy as could be!" now all I need is a free service to check my email and click the renew link once a month :)
The odd quote placement here made me laugh, though, because it almost looks like you're trying to take part of what someone said and change it by adding more: http://i.imgur.com/Ea77zIr.jpg
Tabula is also the name of a programmable logic company doing fpga-like "3PLDs" where the design implemented varies over time to increase effective size of the logic fabric. (tabula.com)
