I think I'm going to start doing more in-depth writing about myself and my perception of this world, as there are many people out there who are interested in what I have to say and what I have to offer. I'm very good at writing. Furthermore, I'm very good at all things except roller skating. That's the only thing I've ever tried, and I couldn't get the hang of it the first time. A person cannot become the best singer without having songs for people to listen. I shall start building my literature archive and publish it on my social media accounts and my websites. If only it were that easy to leave my protected comfort zone. Every now and again, I have to activate the vic…

The CameraLoops.ru ends justifies the means. General Motors is stealing driver's data and selling it without their knowledge and permission for a large profit. Isn't that illegally infringing on people’s privacy on a mass scale worldwide¿ The same "Crooked" General Motors is trying its best to remove this website CameraLoops.ru from the internet because here we discuss, share, and provide information to the world on how to repair, modify and recycle General Motors vehicle electronic parts. Those who bought the data allegedly collected by General Motors were able to see if drivers drove or braked too fast, steered too sharply into turns or drove late at night, a lawsui…

CameraLoops.com URL has changed to CameraLoops.ru On August 10th, 2024, Verisign, the entity responsible for the .com top-level domains (TLD) on the Internet, seized the domain URL CameraLoops.com. Verisign did not provide any prior notice or reasons for the seizure. I suspect that the seizure of the CameraLoops.com domain was partly due to actions by General Motors and its associates, who have attempted multiple times to take down the Cameraloops website from the Internet. The .com domain TLD was always a vulnerability in the CameraLoops network. They carried out the domain seizure by requesting Verisign to manually change the CameraLoops.com DNS to a nameserver they o…

GM has fixed the vulnerability. This file no longer works with the new GM GDS2. More info here. Global Diagnostic System 2 aka GDS2. GDS2 is GM's motor vehicle diagnostic software used by auto mechanics to perform diagnostics, including reading fault codes, resetting the vehicle's electronic module and various other configurations. In order to have access to GDS2, you have to pay a subscription fee to GM. In this tutorial, I demonstrate how to pay once and have GDS2 access for eternity. GDS2 uses two security measures. 1. A hardware ID file name "swkV3" 2. A system licence file. This tutorial circumvents the system licence file. That's why one needs to purchase a GM…

As a young child, I didn't particularly appreciate playing with Jigsaw puzzles since the picture was already printed on the puzzle's box. What I liked doing was taking stuff apart to see what was inside and to understand how stuff operated. Sometimes, that obsession landed me in a lot of trouble. Yeah,' I destroyed a lot of my parents and family member's things in my young years. I was fortunate to have an uncle who was a police officer in the Jamaica Constabulary Force, who would bring home a lot of decommissioned police electronic equipment. That was what sparked my love for electronic devices. It's been a while since I've posted significant new findings for GM vehic…

Officially when you purchase the HMI navigation map update from GM, GM dispatches the map update on a USB stick drive, which is locked to the VIN number submitted when purchasing the map update. This added navigation map update security makes it impossible to use that navigation map update USB stick to update the HMI module in cars other than the one you purchased the map update for.

It's widely known that the Cygnustech macro flash diffuser is an excellent tool for macro photography. This article merely adds more information about its greatness and my personal experience with the device. I've been using the Godox MK12 flash with four flash heads for macro stuff for some time now, which works great indoors in a controlled environment. However, it's very cumbersome and fragile when used outdoors. On the other hand, the Cygnustech macro flash diffuser is lightweight, can easily be transported as it folds flat, and produces fantastic macro photography results. From my understanding, the Cygnustech macro flash diffuser is hand-made by Brendan in Australia…

Canon GP-E2 GPS receiver. I got this accessory for my camera as I always forget to sync my mobile phone to the camera so it can store the location of each photo I take when I'm out. The GPS and the device's battery notification lights use red LEDs. I would prefer it if the GPS notification LED were green. I opened it up to take a look to see if I could identify and source a green LED, but unfortunately, all the suppliers only sell these LEDs in a spool of 100, which is not worth the cost and effort. So, I'll have to live with the two red LEDs for now or until I find the same specs green LED in a device that I don't need. Photos of the inside are below. …
