I waited way too long for that animation to show me some results and then it looped.
Same but click see how it works for the whole video

#102https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27693560 Barely a year ago. I thought it was maybe 5 years ago. Time itself must be accelerating. I need an app that can scan my hard drives, connectome and biochemistry > bleep bloop > tell me what I can still do with my life.

> I'm not willing to front that kind of cash on something that might be terrible. I think there's a trial period, but yeah the pricing is steep ($45/yr). Probably worth it for enthusiasts, but much less appropriate for kids.
The pricing is high, but I'd pay nearly that much just for that counts my bricks, even better if he points them out in the picture

#104Is there any free functionality aside from the time-based trial? It looks like this is $45/year (or $84/year if paid monthly!), which seems pretty steep.
It’s a drop in the bucket for LEGO enthusiasts who spend hundreds to tens of thousands of dollars a year on legos.

#105The app identified 400 pieces (of the 800) and unfortunately the resulting ideas were not possible to be constructed because it required pieces we don't have. Of the 50 ideas I was only able to construct 1 or 2 that had very few pieces.
I tried it a couple of times with diferent layout in pieces or lights, nothing really changed.
Sorry but it doesn't work, at least with my kind of bricks.

#106This is neat, but I feel it really detracts from the creativity you are supposed to be exercising by using Legos in the first place. I'd hope no one lets their kids use this, or they'll just get good at assembling IKEA furniture instead of designing the furniture.

#107Very cool. Now what I want is something that will scan a pile of rocks and tell me how to put them together to build a wall with minimal space between them. https://media.istockphoto.com/photos/stone-wall-texture-pict... Or better yet, tell my robot how to do it.

#108I found a "Manage subscriptions" link in the app, and it points to the Play Store app. I can't find an "unsubscribe" button there. If I try o uninstall the app I'm explicitly told "Your active subscriptions will not be canceled". I spent ten minutes looking for this, and I'm a web developer. How on earth will regular Joe be able to unsubscribe this?
Also, can anyone point me in the right direction?

This is an easy problem to solve, find the socks you like and then buy 20 pairs of the same socks and get rid of the old ones.
Not so fast. Sock magic: I've only bought black socks over the last 5 year, and still I can't seem to find ones anymore that exactly match in both fitting and color (they all seem to have degraded in different color tones)

#110I subscribed to the free trial for the Play store app, tried it a bit, and now I'd like to cancel my subscription. I found a "Manage subscriptions" link in the app, and it points to the Play Store app. I can't find an "unsubscribe" button there. If I try o uninstall the app I'm explicitly told "Your active subscriptions will not be canceled". I spent ten minutes looking for this, and I'm a web developer. How on earth…
Edit: for me it's Play Store, round profile button/account switcher in top right, Payments and Subscriptions.
