Hundreds of thousands of EU citizens ‘wrongly fined for driving in London Ulez’
  • Sorry, you might have misunderstood my point. The long processing time is "fine" if it happens at all. The issue I'm trying to bring up is that in most cases these acts end without real consequences or punishment, so any greedy newcomer repeats it.

    Example of what I'd like to happen: Euro Parking contract will not be renewed, and the company will be banned for 10 years to have any contracts with TfL or any other agency.

    Set precedent by law, not just a slap in the wrist, so they think twice instead of writing it off as a business expense.

    Will Android Ever Be Able To Implement This
  • I'm not sure if you're referring to just the functionality of being able to pay by tapping the phone, but there's Google Pay, which does exactly that and is mostly accepted wherever apple's solution is accepted. It works in any Android phone with NFC.

  • Netherlands begins trial to make cannabis fully legal
  • The reason they put this kind of limits is to protect the income (of coming?) companies. Nobody wants pesky people growing their own stuff, but spending taxable money. Even nicer "for everybody" if the initial money comes from lobbying companies paying for the law to be favorable to them.

  • Are there any applications that can turn an old smart phone into a wildlife/security camera?
  • There is no reason a camera cannot be on all the time... Why couldn't it?

    Sensor wear, mechanical parts (if any), heat, etc. Essentially wear and tear. Just like nothing lasts forever, using it in a way that it's not intended/tested/quality assured, may reduce its lifespan.

    Basically: "is the device intended to be on and recording 24/7?"

    • yes: good, the device should last and perform for its purpose
    • no: well, let's gamble and see how long it lasts
  • Are there any applications that can turn an old smart phone into a wildlife/security camera?
  • The camera is on all the time

    That's what I meant: I don't know (as in I have zero clue) the camera is designed to operate that way. Is a naive assumption on my side and I'd be glad to learn this is not the case.

    PIR sensor

    No, I didn't expect a sensor, that's what I tried to say: the hardware is not there, so (on my mind) a constant image analysis/monitoring would be necessary in order to perceive movement and start recording, as in writing video to storage.
