That's far less than the hundreds of pounds some call centres charge. All you need to do is press your medical alert button, worn on a wristband or pendant, and a Trained Care Specialist will make sure you get the help you. A subscription to My Family SOS costs £3.49 a month, or £34 if you register for a full year. Set your Silent Beacon to call 911, emergency personnel or loved ones with one press of a button. Which brings us nicely on to the cost of the service. Moony believes his system can save people money, and reduces the time it takes to get help to a loved one. It's a refreshing alternative to call centre-based systems, which can be much more expensive and rely on staff calling around until they get in touch with an emergency contact. The idea came to him two years ago, when his mother-in-law was diagnosed with dementia. We are here if, for example, you fall and cannot.

It will say something along the lines of 'This is an emergency alert. This will trigger an alert to be sent out to everyone in their contact list. Should anything bad happen, your loved one just needs to hold down the assigned speed-dial key on their phone, or the button in the app. Emergency contacts can receive SOS alerts by SMS, email and as phone calls, or by SMS only. Again, you can do this either via the app or website, depending on the type of phone you're setting up. All a person in an accident or any other medical crisis needs to do is press the button, notifying the emergency call center. This personal emergency alert system is designed for large and small. Once they're registered, you can add the details of the emergency contacts that you'd like to be alerted if there is a problem. It is often a wearable device such as a bracelet that has a life alert button that calls for family and medical personnel. The mobile panic button is a small device that can be attached to your keyring. ![]()

I will now continue working on my actual personal app project that triggered the idea for this post. If you ever need to add a utility window to your UWP app that is chromeless and/or has an arbitrary shape – or using any of the other rich windowing capabilities that are still missing in UWP, using a desktop extension with a WPF window is a way to accomplish the scenario. This.Clip = geo closeButton.SetValue(Canvas.LeftProperty, / 2 - 16) ĬloseButton.SetValue(Canvas.TopProperty, / 2 - 16) PolyLineSegment segment = new PolyLineSegment() įor (int i = 0 i < rawPoints.Length / 2 i+=2) Root.Background = brush double rawPoints = (double) įigure.StartPoint = new Point(rawPoints, rawPoints) This.MouseMove += MainWindow_MouseMove RadialGradientBrush brush = new RadialGradientBrush() ī(new GradientStop(GetRandomColor(), 0.0d)) ī(new GradientStop(GetRandomColor(), 0.5d)) ī(new GradientStop(GetRandomColor(), 1.0d)) This.Height = (double) InitializeComponent() Again, most of the code here is specific to the sample dealing with complex shapes defined by ink strokes and you won’t need it when creating windows with well-known shapes: public MainWindow() In the code-behind we need to unpack the geometry information about the ink stroke and clip the window accordingly. Rect inkBounds = Ī = viewBounds.X + inkBounds.Left Ī = viewBounds.Y + inkBounds.Top Ī = winBounds.Width Ī = winBounds.Height Rect viewBounds = ApplicationView.GetForCurrentView().VisibleBounds private async void InkPresenter_StrokesCollected(InkPresenter sender, InkStrokesCollectedEventArgs args) You obviously won’t need all this code if you are creating windows of well-known shapes. Most of the code here is specific to getting the geometry info from the collected ink stroke and passing it down to the WPF. To pass on the geometry details about the shape of the window we are using the local AppData settings. The gist on the UWP side is that we are using the FullTrustProcessLauncher API to create the WPF window. Here we need to add the declaration for our desktop extension, so that the UWP app can activate the WPF process for creating the windows. The appxmanifest file in the Package project is the one that is relevant at deployment time. A Windows App Packaging project to package the two together for distribution (“Package”).A WPF project that provides the windowing feature (“WPF”).The actual UWP main app (“Sketch-a-Window”).The Visual Studio solution for this sample consists of three projects: Source Code Walkthrough Project Structure Just show me the code on GitHub and let me install the sample app from the Store … Read on for details on how to implement this scenario with just a couple of lines of code. The sample app works on build 1709 and above (though the features used here are already available since build 1607). In my sample app here I am just hosting a re-styled WPF button that serves as my close button. Note though that the XAML Island itself needs to be rectangular, if you decide to use one. In the secondary WPF windows you would typically host WPF controls to implement your UI – and now with XAML Islands (introduced in 1809) you could also host UWP controls. How arbitrary the shape can be you ask? Well, if you can draw it, it can be your window’s shape! To prove my claim my sample actually lets you hand-draw windows using the UWP InkCanvas control – check it out in the video: I figured it would be useful to put together a quick sample and write-up for this, as I don’t believe we’ve ever had any docs/blogs/sample to date that describe how to create an arbitrarily shaped chromeless window from a UWP app. My app/main window itself needs be UWP because of some other requirements. ![]() UWP’s ApplicationView/Window doesn’t support chromeless, non-rectangular windows – but with the Windows application model being an à la carte platform, this can be accomplished by adding a desktop extension to my UWP app package that uses a WPF Window to provide the required rich windowing capabilities. One of my requirements involves a creating a secondary chromeless, non-rectangular utility window (that is also semi-transparent and topmost). On my way back home from the IoT in Action event in Taipei I had a several hours time to work on a small personal spare-time app project that I am hoping to publish to the Store soon. ![]() ![]() ![]() By disabling them (or restricting their lifespan), you'll prevent websites from stealing your personal information.

If you enable Stealth mode, the following functions will be available to you. In the Stealth mode tab there is a range of different privacy protection features that will help you adjust it to a level you feel comfortable with. The Stealth mode can be flexibly adjusted - you can prohibit a website to receive the search requests you used to find it on the Internet, automatically delete both third-party and website’s own cookies, and so on. The Stealth mode module aims to ensure the protection of sensitive personal information from online trackers and other fraudsters. The Whitelist can be configured just in a couple of clicks. It is especially useful when you want to apply the same list of sites on other devices and you don’t want to spend time on its creation. The Whitelist can be inverted, too - you can unblock ads everywhere except the sites that you added to this list.Īlso, you can either import or export already created lists of exclusions if needed. Just put the websites you want to exclude into the Whitelist and the ad blocking rules won’t be applied to them. You can easily fine-tune ad filtering by adding particular websites to the list of exceptions, it will disable blocking for those trusted domains. What should you do if you are generally satisfied with ad blocking in your browser but want to exclude certain websites from filtering? You might have already guessed - use the Whitelist option. One could say that it’s like a diary where your blocking actions are stored. And of course, when you whitelist a website (more about it below) or use the Assistant tool for hiding an element on the page, a corresponding rule goes to User rules. Make sure that different rules are separated by line breaks. Then, it's possible to import a ready-to-use filter list from a text file. Everything written in the User rules field is automatically saved and applied (if relevant, of course). The most straightforward is to just type a rule in, but it requires some knowledge of the rule syntax. The rules you create will work exactly the same way as regular rules that you can find in AdGuard filters. This means that if you have certain skills, you can write your own rules and apply them to the filtering process. In the User rules tab it is possible to create your own filtering rules. To add a filter, just click the Add custom filter button and then enter the URL or the file path of the filter you want to be added, and then click the Next button.Īnother curious thing is the User rules tab, which also helps you personalize protection by adjusting it in a preferable way. In fact, you can have any set of filters and customize blocking in the way you like. In the Custom tab you can add your own filters or upload any filters composed by others (there are a lot of them available on the Internet). While the features of other filter groups are more or less predictable, there is a group called Custom that may raise additional questions. You can enable either individual filters or the entire group at once. For example, there are categories for ad blocking filters, privacy protection filters, social media-related filters, etc. You can adjust ad blocking according to your needs by activating specific filters.Īll AdGuard filters are combined into different filter groups that are listed in the Filters tab of the extension settings.Īll filters are grouped according to their role. At the base of ad blocking lie so-called filter lists, or simply filters, that can be enabled or disabled in the AdGuard settings.
