Insta 360!!!

Parents were headin for a trip, yearly, they've gotten into going away to Mexico- I don't question this, who'd wanna deal with the ugliest of days in Vancouver...I'd take Playa De Carmen any day over the worst of the worst being November thnrough to February, March- with December, January, February ultimately being the ugliest- UNLESS! You do snow sports such as snowboarding or skiing... then the opposite, where those months would be the best for snow in the mountains- which would,you preffer? Bad vs. Good& depending on your plans, that's what Vancouver has to offer.


A week or 2 prior to their trip, in discussion  of....who knows what(?) my step dad had mentioned/ showed intrest- not just a "yeh that's cool"... I just noticed a genuine fascination he had about something. We were discussing photography/ videography...and the subject of the INSTA 360 CAME UP AND HOW COOL THE CAMERA WAS WITH ALL THE ANGLE3S AND... well you can't miss a thing around you when using the camera. Oh now i REmember..it was that new drone we started to tal about w2here the subject changed over to the Insta 360.

All the features, it being highly waterproof and hit proof..the battery life...the latest AI....it was at the end fairlly spontaneous, but paying atention, I noticed they had old cameras..if they were even taking any at all. A few other determininmg factors and in my Amazon cart it was with it being sent as a "gift".

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING...my parents are weird...they like to sneak away...not deal with the heartbreak a fairwell can bring...they choose flights at the most ugly of time and you'll wake up with the house quiet/ them goner..they are even weird about sharing the date they will be travelling..I may not know till they've left where they swear up and down they've shared this...gaslighting much??? IT ENDED UP being that the Insta 360 wouldnt arrive until a few hours after they've left.... I really wanted them to have it for the trip...thinking of some solutions..do i recieve it then ship it to them in Mexico?

I ended up keeping it. Not cheap at all- had me humming and hawing about the decision- curiosity got the best of me- what the heck, why nnot- I could just try it alittle and still return it as long as i take care of it. Becareful. Not a scratch. Oh wow!

Oh Wow! Why Haven't More Adopted this Into their Content?

I am not pumping out videos... and the ones I do, even if intentions are for public viewing pleasure...end up private leisure...most part no one else sees the stuff other tan me and my dog- an maybe whoeer is hackling me.

All the Angles

But, It's amazing... you are filming every angle...every angle...front top let right...i can set it between myself and the desk and where i'd need 3 cameras, replaced by 1....OK the fish eye is not always a good look. Well, well,technology... the software can crrect thast for you. All the creative shogtsthat can be created.

It's aamzing. IDK....not more to say other than watch out for my creations with the Insta 360... 

If you tried a 360 style camera in the past and was under whelmed...I had been too...and why myself hesitent to make these commitments..again wasn't cheap....but, like mentioned..for a crator..it's very cretive and produces compelling shots/ angles... for more formal style shots...indeed placed appropriatley, can replace mutiple cameras..so is it expensive then? if this 1 camera does the work of 3/or 4 cameras? seeing it that way the price tag isn't that bad.

And the camera isn't strickly for the creative folk.... there's software out there that can help,you create breath taking 3d walk throughs of house, home and or outdoor- real estate? Yeah, real estate! And then there's the 360 degree part.... and you get a wicked cool extender pole... Attic hard to reach? Maye some crawl space or vent or sewer or drain that you'd rather not squeeeze into any of those to investigate that nasty sound or worse smell. Another use case that this would work amazing for is inspections or construction.... being able to squeeze this little camera with wicked night vision and water proof....into a tricky spot and being able to veiw/ record everything all arround. Don't miss a single angle. Its amazing- especially as a tol for inspections.

Wel that's my take on this little camera with big features... so look out for content using it from me.

Miggitty Miggitty Mac Address

 Helping your router identify your WiFi adapter on your network. A Mac address is unique. Kinda like your device's fingerprint. It's made of 6 sets of 2 characters and separated by semiolonsì. A Mac address is comprised of letters and numbers. 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. If you can't locate the OUI within one, give the others a try.  A Tool such as the WiFi Pineapple can link directly to OUI resources giving us an efficient research tool for network analysis. OUI's For Research Utilising such data as an OUI can be of tremendous importance- providing shortcuts, Where once blind, guessing... now, knowing a manufacturer, can point us to default log...

Getting Down with Wireshark as a Network Monitoring Tool

Wireshark-  When you need to get down and dirty with individual packets, it's the undisputed champ. But what happens when you're trying to figure out what's actually going down on a high-speed, chaotic network? Not just  the wireless activity- getting more involved; seeing what is actually going on, what users on the network are active in/ their activities- what can we see? Scrolling through a billion packets to find out who's hogging all the bandwidth with Netflix isn't just a headache; it's practically impossible. Wireshark is a microscope, but sometimes you need a satellite view. You want to know the big picture: what apps are running, who the top talkers are, and if something sketchy is happening, without spending hours creating ridiculously complex filters. The Secret Sauce: ntop's nDPI Enter the total game-changer: nDPI (ntop Deep Packet Inspection) . Think of standard Wireshark as a mailman who only reads the outside of the envelope (the packet heade...

Windows Doesn't recognize Your HackRF device? Wrong Drivers? Try ...

 Mostly for me to remember, but Windows at times has a lapse in judgement with certain devices, DIY gadgets, peripherals that you maybe trying to connect to- for me, it was my HackRF( I have since stumbled upon a better way to start for the HackF if having driver woes- which I will cover in another post- but keep reading, since this is still good knowledge to know regarding driver issues )- no matter what, my PC could not recognize the HackRF/ or would recognize it, but as a keyboard. I required Windows to apply the correct drivers to the device so that it could be recognized for what it is... a...SDR. A HackRF.  Guessing What's Right... Making Assumptions. Getting it Wrong. So, really what we see here is that when connecting that never connected before thing into your PC, Windows is making an assumption on what that thing is, and then applying the best driver that it thinks suites that thing... From experience, and a general rule of life... "assumptions" aren't the b...
