Also bidets, nintendo switches, instant yeast, powdered milk, etc. I actually snagged some wine yeast on amazon and I'm on my third loaf of bread. Bidet was the best "waste of money" I have spent in a long time. My TP usage has been slashed.
Also specifically Ring Fit Adventure for Nintendo Switch, that allows you to exercise from home. It's been sold out worldwide, with limited numbers showing up in stores and immediately disappearing.

There is this, but I haven't tried it: https://apps.apple.com/app/epoccam-webcam-for-mac-pc/id44913...
any equivalent for android?

Looking at the reviews, I see multiple people saying that the developer required paid users to write a review in order to unlock the ability to use the front camera. I think it goes without saying that is an incredibly scummy practice.

They do look like exactly what I'm looking for, I'm just turned-off by the pricing model of "Contact Sales" When I'm just looking for a single camera to fit in my budget for personal projects.
Basler has very well-made equipment and lovely software (Pylon) compared to most of what is available in the imaging world. If you want to see what things would actually cost at open market price, look at Edmund Optics listings for the cameras (eg. https://www.edmundoptics.com/f/basler-ace-usb-3.0-cameras/14... ), they are expensive by consumer standards but quite reasonable by industrial standards. Basler also tends…

I've found these apps: - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dreamdroid... - http://www.dev47apps.com/ - http://ip-webcam.appspot.com/ Any opinion on which one is best?

If I used to produce 100 units per month because that's how many I could sell, but now I know I can sell 10000 units per month, that is incentive enough to increase production. Notice here that raising the price is not at all required to increase profits. It's just something companies tend to do because they know they can get away with it in high demand markets. And since raising prices to increase profits is not nec…
>that is incentive enough to increase production Alas, the world is rather more complicated than that. Case in point, this Dallas surgical mask factory that is not running overtime, because the hospitals screwed him over last emergency, and he almost went out of business: https://www.dallasnews.com/news/watchdog/2020/04/03/if-you-i...

I'm curious as to what you found to be unsuitable about the Basler cameras?
The project is doing a sort of frameless capture off a conventional sensor, so I was hoping to use Stacked ROI as a sort of threshold trigger for selective updates, but (for entirely good technical reasons) there are ordering, size, and number limitations on how the regions can be configured.

I needed triggering behavior that the restrictions on their Stacked ROI mode(s) didn't let me rig up.

Why shouldn’t the price increase with a supply chain disruption and demand boom? Would you prefer a shortage with no incentive to increase production?

Pivoting a factory on a dime to make something else is hard, but often doable by the experts for sufficiently loose definitions of “on a dime”.
Pivoting a factory on a dime to make something else that’s cost competitive with the factories designed and built to do that something else already is impossible. It’s like trying to build a car from junkyard parts to run in F1 races. And old prices will reflect the cost savings those old factories were achieving.
