Miggitty Miggitty Mac Address

As an example; something like this ... 01:aa:gg:88:bb:ccp What Makes a Mac Address First six characters are classified as organizational unique identifier.. or OUI...  popular lookup tools/ databases are IEEE ieee Public Mac Address Look Up Tool... Online Search Tool by Wire Shark, to name a couple- there are many more...some more upto date than the other.

Just an GIF Collage..

 A lil.... " artistic " release... a collage... a Gif... Something to materialize one of my daily woes- running out of memory - further, the struggle; 'Man vs. Cloud' . The delicate dance made to upload , without duplication,  to completion- quickly- while memory is full, most functions are unavailable. How entertaining it is when you go to delete some files, to clear out space, yet, a pop up message is presented before you declining you of the action. .. "Not enough space. Can't use... Delete some files or uninstall unused apps, then try again." Awe geez thanks... what do you think  was attempting to do? I use this small tool to make these gifs... it is really handy for quick screen recording- you can save the gif  as a video further down the road... but, you will not have any audio. I use ' Screen 2 Gif ' to create these...

Detecting Static Using a CD4011BE IC

  Saad Hasan bringing us  a buzzin' DIY job with this static detector. Do It Myself, A Reminder. Mostly for the "bookmark"/ reminder- wouldn't mind making myself a version of one of these. Especially, if the sensitivity can be adjusted or it is sensitive- it's interesting to walk around- realize how much we are bombarded by static.

Speech to Text, Fast, Easy, Free

Pick and poke is still my style of typing- even after the many many years behind the 'keebz'- though, I'd say it is evolved/ has it's efficiencies- maybe why my shoulders hurt and a reason I don't have arthritis in my hands - many do after years typing... It is still a slow way of putting words to screen... even if you're a quick an  speedy typer  Time is  money- so they say- and no money, no funny, honey. In business, it used to be a secretary or a dedicated employee who'd be at the beckoning call...just in the edge of the shadows... invisible, as to not disturb- frantically putting pen/ pencil to paper- capturing it all in detail - exact, word for word.  These days, instead of a secretary doing such a task, we have services which can do similar with ease and efficiently. One such service is... https://dictation.io/ is a simple site where we can find... one of, if not the, easiest speech-to-text services I've come across. Other services make you sign u...

YouTube Speed Hack

Hack? In a sense- if taking the Webster Dictionary definition literally, then .. you'd be using it to gain...what once was unattainable( at a faster speed ),now attainable (you are able to cram in more in a shorter time .). If you are using YouTube as a platform to learn- informative videos, educational videos- don't we wish we had a remote to 2x that 1 professor that you just couldn't help to fall asleep to their lectures- eyes heavy... whop wahhh wa wahhh wop waaaaaa- Charlie Brown reference. Double what knowledge you inject by doing this. In less than 5 seconds, you have doubled your intellectual though rough through... through put. That remote is in your hands... Maybe, the video is just that slow. Unbearably slow . ..incredibly slow .. no longer so. Watching that video, hover the cursor over it which will bring up the controls- one of them looks like a gear. This is the Settings- click on it. A menu fades up and within the options you will find " Playback Speed...

For those requiring multiples of WiFi adapters recognized and functional on their Raspberry Pi- A large variety of trouble shooting/ general setup(for those lucky types who things "just work" for them...)    and further trouble shooting for the others where things just can't, aren't, may never be as simple as plug and play- it is more; play, plug, play, un plug, reset, plug, play play play, plug, reset,restart computer since all resources have been tied up in all the tabs/ windows open for a solution so that at one weird odd moment down the road the thing might just work and you may have no idea what even was the fixx since it just did,,,,  Or you just give up having done enough cursing to no avail- questioning the saving that are seen when considering DIY or Buy? Sometimes all we need is that 1 forum thread... ...being:  https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=49283 Solution and Trouble Shooting Issues with 2 WiFi Adapters/ Interfaces  Running at the Sam...
