If you're new to the channel, I'm Gold Pony at your new car truck SUV reviews on YouTube. And today we're in the brand new 2024 Nissan Kicks courtesy of younger Nissan in Frederick, Maryland for more information on their inventory. Please feel free to check out the link in the description box below. So today we are in this one because this is one of the most affordable subcompacts available today. More affordable than the Mazda CX-30, the Kia Niro, the Volkswagen TALS by thousands just to name a few. So that's pretty cool. Also very unique design to the Kicks. I've always liked the design because it really looks like nothing else on the road. So ultimately in this video, we will be testing out and going over everything about this one from acceleration to braking, steering feel, ride quality, sound system, exhaust clip, all that fun stuff. So having said all of that, what do you guys say? Let's just go ahead and jump right into it. And as always, let's start with pricing. It's as you can imagine, there are a few different trim levels for the 2024 Kicks. First one being the S starting at $20,790, which is a modest $500 bump for the 2023 model year, but still that's dang inexpensive. And that actually is the trim level that we have today. Then you got the SV for $22,650. And lastly, the SR for $23,350. So even the top trim level is pretty darn affordable. But anyways, regardless of trim level that you go with the power plant on the Kicks is going to be the same. Powering the little beast is a 1.6 liter naturally aspirated inline four cylinder putting out 122 horsepower at 6,300 RPM, 114 pound feet of torque coming in at 4,000 RPM that power being sent to the front wheels through a CVT zero to 60 time coming in at approximately 10.1 seconds which we'll test out here in a little bit but MPG numbers then coming in at 31 in the city 36 on the highway taking regular unleaded fuel. And so before we do any kind of fun acceleration test here in the Kicks, I wanted to mention to you guys the drive mode it is singular. There is a sport driving mode and that drive mode is hidden. It's a horizontal line located actually on the shifter. So just below the shift knob and that is actually going to adjust the throttle response and the shift points giving you a little better acceleration for maybe merging onto the highway or something like that. So now I've got all of that out of the way. What do you got to say? Let's go ahead and find a straightaway. Let's put the Kicks here to the test and let's see how quickly we can get our new 2024 Nissan Kicks here up to speed. All right you guys, so I found my straightaway here went ahead and pressed that line. A little S popped up on the gauges but three, two, one, go. It's okay. It makes a lot of noise. I'll put it that way. Acceleration is not the best but it's not bad actually. Especially when you press that little horizontal button that was pretty cool. And honestly just zipping around city streets here at lower speed limits. It's really nice because it's zippy. I'll put it that way. Not every car is fast but a lot of the cars that aren't fast like the Corolla for example or the Kicks for example, they're zippy. So you just barely press the gas and it kind of just jolts you forward really quick. And that's one of the cool things about naturally aspirated engines as well. In a world where everything is turbocharged these days and you got turbo lag all over the place naturally aspirated engines don't have any of that. So you really have a decent at least quick acceleration. It'll certainly get the job done especially if you're just zipping around city streets. I'll just put it that way. But anyways, to go along with that acceleration as always braking is equally important. So as expected four-wheel ventilated disc brakes do come standard but that 60 is your stopping distance number comes in at 119 feet. That is a sports sedan number you guys. Typically what I always say is anything in the one teens is sports sedan. Anything in the 120s or 130s typically is just a regular sedan or an SUV but anything in the one teens that is dang good. So as far as braking feel goes definitely on the firmer side of things instantly brings you to a stop. So I absolutely love the braking feel in the kicks. Then touching on suspension and handling up front you're gonna get an independent strut type front suspension in the back, torsion beam rear axle also front stabilizer bar to go along with all of that. As far as ride quality goes, it's been fine. It's pretty much as you would expect the kicks to ride like it's not the smoothest ride in the world but it feels like pretty much every other sub compact out there. So it's certainly not bad. I personally wouldn't have any issues there. Then touching on steering feel it is definitely on the loose and goosey side without a doubt it kind of feels like a large SUV in terms of that steering feel. So wouldn't mind it if Nissan firmed that up a little bit but it is to be expected in a vehicle like the kicks but as far as cabin noise goes is we're going approximately 20 miles per hour right now. You do get a little bit of engine noise. I'll say that but the wind noise and the road noise has held it babe pretty darn good. So it's not a luxury vehicle so don't expect anything too mesmerizing but it certainly doesn't do bad but when you really get on the gas it gets loud. I'll just say that the engine noise is pumped into the cabin so you can hear a good bit of that but then touching on visibility I honestly can see perfectly fine out the back. Now keep in mind the second row headrests are a little bigger than average so bigger than what I'm used to seeing at least but having said that this is a sub compact so you really shouldn't have any issues in terms of that visibility but that pretty much rounds out the performance segment of this review you guys. Let's look ahead and take a look at the exterior of our brand new 2024 Nissan kicks. All right so here she is you guys the new 2024 Nissan kicks finished in super black in case you were curious of our exact exterior color name that we had on this one but as always let's go ahead and start with where the kicks is made. Taking a look at the wind first character is the number three indicating that the new kicks is built and assembled in Mexico in case you were curious. But starting up front you will find a V motion front grille finished in chrome for the S and SV trim levels at least the exterior perimeter finished in chrome I'll put it that way but then finished in a dark chrome if you were to go with that SR trim level then. To the sides halogen headlights do come standard on the S and SV trim levels. They do though come with an automatic feature meaning when it starts to get dark in at night the headlights will turn on automatically for you there but also they come with an automatic high beam feature so if you have your high beams on at night and it senses a vehicle coming in the opposite direction it's gonna automatically dim them back to low beams and when that vehicle is gone it's gonna automatically bounce back up to high beams for you there so love that feature. Then if you were to go with that SR trim level you're gonna find LED headlights with LED signature lighting, LED daytime running lights and down below LED fog lights then as well so much brighter illumination for that SR trim level at least but overall that pretty much rounds out the front end let's not go ahead and make our way to the side. All right so now since we are around to the side of the kicks silver roof rails do come standard on the SV black roof rails for the SR trim level. Silver exterior door trim for the SR trim level as well it's kind of found on the side skirts you can kind of see the cut out on our S trim level but it's just finished in matte black on the S of course. Floating roof line towards the back kind of hard to tell with the black exterior but essentially on that C pillar it separates the roof from the rest of the body there. Body color door handles for the SV and SR you guys could probably tell we do have matte black door handles. It's kind of hard to tell on the black exterior but there is a difference there of course. Body colored side mirrors coming with the SV gloss black side mirrors for the SR the S trim level that we have today you're gonna find matte black side mirrors but heated side mirrors coming with the SV and SR LED integrated turret signals for the SR trim level only. Then taking a look down at the wheel setup 16 inch deal wheels with covers coming on our S trim level but then 17 inch aluminum alloys for the SV and SR both of them coming with their own unique design the SR is gonna give you gloss black alloys and the SV is gonna give you silver finished alloys just a little larger design than our 16 inch that we have here today anyways to pretty much rounds out the side profile let's now go ahead and make our way to the back. All right so now let's do our round two the back of the kicks here body colored shark fin antenna found all the way to the top rear spoiler back there as well just below that rear window wiper you do have some kicks badging back there as well of course and you actually do have a nice kind of body colored rear diffuser that is gonna come on every single trim level across the board and then just to the very bottom they're tucked away underneath the passenger side there you will find a single exhaust outlet so having said that I do believe you guys know what we have to do next as always here is that exhaust clip All right so now since we are around to the back of the kicks when it comes to opening that rear tailgate of course it is a manual tailgate just simply walk up and open it up once opened up cargo capacity comes in at 35.4 cubic feet if that was not enough space there's a 6040 split meaning the rear seats do fall down for a good bit of extra space then if you needed it there are some cargo tie down hooks back there our cargo cover is gonna be optional cargo lighting of course does come standard there's grocery bag hooks back there then if you were to lift up underneath of that cargo floor you are going to find a spare tire which is my personal preference but then making our way up to the rear legroom that comes in at 33.5 inches so on paper not a ton but for reference I'm even six feet tall this is how much space I have back there but I think one of the best parts about the kicks is you do get dual rear USB charging ports coming standard that's definitely something you don't find standard out there in the competition so you gotta love that however there is no rear ventilation there's no rear center armrest but you do get a passenger side seat back mat pocket in case you needed it but then make our way up to the front seats manually adjustable cloth seats do come standard on all trim levels across board you will find a sport cloth with orange stitching for that SR trim level leatherette seating is gonna be optional on the SR and then heated seats also optional on that SR trim level only overall as far seat comfort goes I will say the back portion of the seats are perfectly fine but the bottom portion of the seats when I first got in this one it was almost like sitting on bleachers at a high school football game it's very firm I'll just put it that way so yeah I'm just gonna put it that way but then take a look at the steering wheel there's tilt and telescoping it is leather wrapped for the SR trim level but all trim levels are gonna get a flat bottom steering wheel so a little sportier of a design if you wanted a heated steering wheel that is gonna be optional on the SR trim level only but then make our way to the startup let me start by showing you guys the key here you do have your Nissan logo at the top lock unlock the remote start that is going to be on the SV and SR trim level so I can show that to you guys today however, it is all keyless entry with a push button start for all trim levels so all I'm going to do here simply put my foot on the brake and press that engine start button located just kind of in front of the shifter there and so once started up as far as the gauges go tachometers on your left speedometers on your right there's a digital display front and center giving you the basics more or less giving you how many miles you have left until you hit empty there is trip A, trip B, outside temperature so it's just the basics I'll just put it that way but then make our way to overall interior quality automatic climate control for the SV and SR trim levels otherwise you're gonna get this manual climate control that I'm showing you guys on this B roll here you got a zero, one, two, three, four in the hot and cold so old school man nothing wrong with that though frameless rear of your mirror with Himmler controls is gonna be an option for $110 if you wanted to go that route just in front of the shifter you got a little bit of storage there there's a 12 volt power outlet aux port and a USB charging port as well surrounding the shifter we'll find a matte black finish which you guys know I grape on in other videos so wouldn't mind it if they finish that in gloss black I'm pretty sure they do actually on the SR trim level but not our S trim level that we have with us here today just behind that a couple cup holders little bit of storage and then within the center armrest probably the least amount of storage I've ever seen in a vehicle but at least they have a center armrest that isn't always the case so I did like seeing that but overall everything is definitely on the basic side of things a lot of hard touch material even the door handle is a black plastic so it's to be expected in a vehicle at around $20,000 I'll just put it that way but in terms of the infotainment screen here you're gonna find a seven inch color touch screen display coming on the S trim level eight inch color touch screen display for the SV and SR trim levels either way you get Bluetooth and audio streaming you still get Android Auto Apple CarPlay either way so if you have a smartphone that has data simply hook it up to the kicks and you have free navigation even on our seven inch screen that we have with us here today that's pretty cool and it looks like everything is finished in Spanish right now actually so that is interesting but anyways you do have your radio information up there as well so six speakers is going to come standard on all trim levels across the board however there's an eight speaker Bose sound system optional for the SR that of course is not the one we have today but having said that let's go ahead and turn on the radio see what we got playing today and let's test out our six speaker sound system that we have with us here today I'll be on that clip tonight straight up on that clip tonight I'll be on that straight up I gotta be honest that is a good amount of bass for just a regular six speaker sound system so if you're gonna have a six speaker sound system this is a pretty darn good one I'll just say that Nissan usually does do pretty good job putting a lot of bass in their vehicles even with their basic sound system so good job Nissan you did alright with that one but anyways last thing I wanna mention you guys on the infotainment screen release is when you do put the kicks in reverse you will find a rear view camera coming standard across the board there is this 360 degree monitor that is gonna be optional for the SR of course we don't have it with us here today but as always that it's going to lead us into safety and so to start front side side coronary bags do come standard driver and passenger knee airbags as well in the back you're gonna have latch aka lower anchors to tether for children for the rear car seats rear child door locks temperature monitoring system but also coming standard frontal collision warning autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian detection lane departure warning reverse automatic braking a blind spot monitoring system with rear cross traffic alert and rear sonar system then as well so overall when it comes to my final thoughts here of the kicks excellent starting price that is really where this one shines compared to all of the competition one of the most inexpensive vehicles out there right now especially with all this inflation that we're getting this is a heck of a deal that's all I'm saying very unique styling as well it really doesn't look like anything else on the road so I like that advanced safety is pretty darn good especially like a blind spot monitoring system with rear cross traffic alert typically with the competition you gotta go with the upper trim levels to get that if not it's an option so the fact that it comes standard even on our S trim level today that is pretty darn good I like that as far as room for improvement goes this thing is slow I will say that but the trade off is it's a naturally aspirated four cylinder so the engine at least is gonna be probably super reliable go ahead and check consumer reports to verify that but typically the way it works is naturally aspirated engines are much more reliable than the turbocharged counterparts and this is probably gonna be one of those cases and I got two more things the S trim level at least that we have today it is a bit of a basic interior quality but again the trade off is you get a much lower price so you got what you pay for I suppose in the very last thing is the seats are pretty darn firm I'll just put it that way anyways let me know what you guys think of the kicks in the comment section below and that is about it for this one you guys thank you so much for watching

His doctor called him in and he was having this pain and so they did a chest x-ray and that's when they were pretty sure it was cancer and so they sent him for a biopsy. Then he just came in the room and you could tell by the look on his face when he was going to tell you. He just said, well, I have really bad news. You do have cancer. However, I have a really good doctor to send you to and he just got out of the issue real fast and didn't really discuss anything with you. It's like he just wanted to hurry up and get you to the next guy so he didn't have to deal with it. I mean, that's how you felt. When it was determined that the axilla node was malignant and probably consistent with lung cancer, although they were not sure. My surgeon had made the diagnosis. When he got the pathology report, his first question was, do you have an oncologist here at the university that you would like me to refer you to? Everything was done very abruptly. He left the room and my husband and I were sitting there waiting to know, well, what happens now? The doctor came back and he said, okay, you can go up and see the doctor. He'll make some room for you in the schedule and good luck. He didn't know what to do with me. I got a call late in the day that a young man was being admitted. He had advanced head and neck cancer and what I was told is there wasn't much to do for him but he was being admitted and I, being very tired hearing, well, there wasn't much to do, put him off until the end. I saw him at about two o'clock in the morning. I was very tired. I went into the room. His head was swollen because of the progressive cancer in his neck. He was gasping for breath. He was short of breath. He was very uncomfortable and I didn't know what to do. I remember vividly rounding on a patient who was facing cancer over the lung diagnosis and she asked my colleague, what would you do, doctor, if you were in my shoes? Well, my colleague did not know what to do. He had not been prepared and he said, well, Mrs. I'm not in your shoes. I don't know what I would do. And he exited the room a little too hastily. This was a wonderful physician. This was a wonderful man. This was a good person who wanted to do well. But this was a person who had not been trained, was not competent, was a little taken aback by that. I had to look within my own self and say, would I have done any better? I would not have. I remember taking care of a patient again through the night, somebody else's patient, another intern's patient, who was a fairly young man dying of metastatic cancer. He had been in terrible pain and at that time was getting injections of morphine. And as the night went on, the imperative that I had inherited from the departing intern was, keep him alive until morning and don't bother the attending physician. So through that night, I went on the one hand, give him more morphine because of the pain and give him Narcan to wake him up, alternating that through the night, through relative rest, catapulted back into wakefulness and terrible pain and I didn't know any better. I remember once being on thoracic surgery rounds, and the thoracic surgeon went into the patient's room, just had had surgery, didn't know the diagnosis yet, sat down in a chair, picked up the newspaper, started to leaf through it, all of us standing around his bed. And he said, well, have you ever been to Paris? And the guy said, no. He said, you gotta go. And then told him he had lung cancer and left. It was astounding and horrible and we all knew that, but none of us were empowered to help that man. We have inherited a curative framework for all of our medical endeavors. And if the curative framework is the only one we operate out of, if we're so inflexible that we can't adopt our framework to meet the needs of the patient, then we are set up for failure. Oncology training is very much focused on treating the disease and I think we still need to learn to treat the patient. There are individuals clearly that are leaders in their field, but it's sometimes by serendipity that you get to be in clinic with them or get to be on service with them and really learn and model yourself after them. The strategies come about, unfortunately, they did for me probably just through practice. And as you take care of each dying child, probably, you get a little better and better at it. If you have a fundamentally caring, empathetic nature, I think it does make you better. I have seen many pediatric oncologists, though, who cannot really deal with it, and tend to withdraw, as I'm sure medical oncologists or surgical oncologists, too, they distance themselves from the patient when they see the end is coming, and that's just when the patient needs you the most and just when the family needs you the most. Patients respond to your emotional connection with them, not to your intellect. The real issue is to convey to them that you're caring and devoted to their welfare. They'll accept the fact that you're an eligible physician based on how you talk to them about the treatment options, your training, how you present yourself. Patient really has no way of knowing whether a doctor is a good doctor or not a good doctor. They look at the wall and they see that he graduated from such and such school, but they don't know how good he is. They learn very quickly what is compassionate, how he feels about people. Is he doing his best? Is he considerate? I think sometimes they feel that you'll look at them as a failure if your loved one dies, when quite honestly you know everybody's going to die eventually and it's not the physician's fault that you got cancer, it's not like he gave it to you. I mean they just have to know that they're human and we know that it's not a mistake.  If they can save you or cure you, that's what you hope for, but if they can't then relieve your pain and make what days you have comfortable.  Medicine has done very well with technology and in some ways the technology has outstripped our ability to take care of people. The blend needs to be more perfect so that we use the technology to truly make people better and that's not just treating the disease, it's making the patient better, which means that if you cure the cancer and you leave them with horrendous symptoms, particularly long-lasting ones, you have to think twice about what you've really provided for that person. And similarly, curative therapy can be given with good symptom control and that's how it should always be given. Because of the kind of patients we see in oncology, it's the ideal field to set the bar, to make pain management matter, to make symptom management across the board be an integrated part of care. At one level, all treatment we do is palliative care. What we're trying to do is to improve their quality of life and the duration of life with good quality. So palliative care is really trying to do just that. It's make patients feel better, make patients comfortable with the situation in which they are in. It can be done relieving any type of symptom that they have that is affecting their life at that time. Science of palliative care is, I think, more and more prominent. Even with all the advances we're having in curative care. I actually don't think there's a distinction and I think that's where we have to train oncologists. There isn't curative care and palliative care, there's care. And oftentimes, even when we're doing curative care, we know it's palliative, life is palliative. Nobody's going to live forever. So everything we tend to do tends to be towards improving that journey. Depends on where you are in that journey. The development of palliative oncology or palliative care oncology really parallels in many ways the progression of oncology as a medical discipline. If you would have asked me what palliative care meant when I was either a surgeon in training or a young surgical oncologist right out of my training, I would have thought that it meant end of life hospice care. After practicing for 12 and a half years as a surgical oncologist, I have many patients who've not only beaten their cancers and survived their care with sometimes very radical surgical procedures. Now I think we're seeing the next evolution of these two specialties where palliative care is being considered as part of the comprehensive care of the surgical patient. I don't think palliative care is anything new. What's new is we actually realize that it's there and it's something that we really need to develop and we need to develop it with the fervor that we are developing new cancer drugs or new anti-cancer drugs. Palliative care has never been so powerful that we as a profession have not yet incorporated this into our armamentarium of patient care is something that we need to urgently fix. The point really is that we have it and we need to make it ours for patients, for their families and ultimately for ourselves. How we treat patients, whether it's heart disease or diabetes or kidney cancer, is how we're going to be treated. I don't want to go through illness with symptoms that can be controlled. I don't think our patients do either. The challenge is to combine our achievements in science. That we know more about the human body than ever before, but it takes more than that to be a physician. We need to combine our expertise in being a scientist with our knowledge of human beings and what it means to suffer.

Residents of Ibechei community in Yehua North Local Government area of Ogun State have choked out to protest what they described as the imposition of an illegal traditional ruler on the ancient town by the state government. Bearing placards with various inscriptions, the protest has barricaded the Ibechei Larrow Road chanting songs. Ogun State government had announced Prince Rotimi Moliro as the approved traditional ruler to fill the vacant stool of the Ibechei Kingdom. This other guy is not from our ruling house. He's not from our family. We've been to the governor's office several times. We've written several position papers. Just to let them know that you cannot impose on someone that is not from the family on us. But we are so surprised when we hear that the person has been confirmed by the governor. Despite the fact that last two weeks we were in the court and the court instructed them not to do anything until the case has been decided. Hello. Hope you enjoyed the news.

And it says I'm live, you know It seems to go faster on my main channel them and I do this on the business technicalities channel But this is fun. I also am doing something a little bit different because I threw this on LinkedIn as well I was like, you know, I can just click this extra button over here and throw it in two channels I've been trying to build up my LinkedIn a little more I have different audiences and I was just did a video we posted actually two of them Jason Slagle and Matt Lee and Jason is actually well known on Well, Jason and Matt both have a pretty big following on LinkedIn so I'm like, okay, I got to build up my LinkedIn and I want them to build up through YouTube and you know They're smart cybersecurity people And Jason may drive up to try the hot sauce I'm all for that Actually, we have a whole lot of hot sauces. So we're getting close to having that room redone Everything's been kind of a small disaster at the office But it's it's getting towards our goal of redoing the lab area and cleaning up the office So lots of fun there. And I also told my friend Jason. I would give a shout out to this Let me pull this up and this is something I'm gonna throw a link in down here for and share screen Where's it at chrome tab? Employment I figure the audience that I have here might be a fit for this and I'll throw this in the links down here as well Easy enough to find he's looking for a Linux admin at CNWR.com so click on employment opportunities at CW and on CNWR.com looking for a Linux admin. I just want to give a shout out You know the Linux admins. I figured there might be a couple to watch my channel. So Yeah, hopefully, you know finding finding a good one can be a little bit challenging So I'll give my friend Jason a shout out for that for his company. He is not far from me So he's in Toledo. I'm in Detroit. We're about 40 minutes from each other roughly. So nonetheless Thought I get that out of the way Let's see. Oh In John Hardin see I got I know I tell he's coming from LinkedIn over there John runs a company. I gave a mention to before a sass Leo really cool And it's a pretty neat product that we might be talking about more in the future though, John We just did a business technicalities interview We talked about some of the process and things like that around Finding what sass products you're using and I gave him a mention because it's kind of a fit in for my web filtering video I did recently Where there's web filtering and there's understanding what people are doing inside the browser and especially that so there's a Yeah, a lot of lots of talk about there, but check out sass Leo It's pretty cool product as well and John's a friend of mine. So there's my bias towards it Whole bunch, yes Check out Tom on LinkedIn, I know I blended this vlog Thursday my life You know, I'm like why not bring it from both worlds get everybody on here So and I think I have a more international audience right now on YouTube. So that could be built up I probably got a decent international audience on there. So Thoughts on the Twilio hack. Yeah, I haven't really dove into it But I mean it's gonna be something I might dive into the Cisco one sounded more interesting to me But obviously any of these is going to be Really interesting as we can pull up some of the details of the Twilio hack Who had the debrief? Twilio hacked It was just because it was fishing and that's the big challenge with any of these is wonder does a bunch of fishing stuff I When I can pull and this is why we did the Cisco one this morning and that video has just been published today of how Cisco got hacked and so Communications and Twilio's confirm hackers access customer data after successfully tricking employees into handing over their corporate login Condentials the San Francisco company which allows users to build voice and SMS capabilities such as two-factor into application said in a blog post Published Monday that it became aware of someone gain unauthorized access to their systems And this is in a way how Cisco got hacked the specifically MFA fatigue was brought up and like so we broke that down in that video and Yeah, I We talked about some of the lessons learned on there Fido is kind of your friend. That's one of the things you need to do to Kind of protect yourself against that there's probably one of the better ways of doing it and It's we just got to get away from any type of text message to FA Any MFA programs that don't have rate limiting this is something what causes the MFA fatigue Someone just hammered away at it and the user goes well I guess the only way to stop this thing from going ding every few seconds must be to say yes You know, there's probably more training that we need for users It's another avenue that maybe wasn't thought about in other trainings of hey, you know Not just use MFA But if your MFA is going crazy call someone someone has your password if they have your MFA Because by the way usually doesn't prompt you from FA until it's username password Please click yes or no on your multi-factor depending on the different services. You're using I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that Cisco uses their own product duo So, you know, it's a pretty simple yes or no system on there Just so I can get it out of the way in the beginning this hot sauce came all the way from the land down under It is quite good. It is called It's got rum and coconut in there too Byron Bay chili coat. This was sent to me by of She'll be on here. She usually gets on here because it's early Australia time I start the live stream and she'll join here. I tagged her in Twitter though. And yeah, I'll Alexa I don't know if it's a lexie or Lexa. I I'm probably just set off someone's stuff. So nonetheless Yes, there's some hot sauce from Australia and it's awesome So Yeah, nonetheless the that's the that's the hot sauce in the thumbnail Could it been a pocket press man, I hope not I if I've actually it's been a while. I don't think it's changed dramatically since I did I did Yeah, I'm positive I just set off a bunch of them so Could crowdsack prevent MFHC against you prevent a hit no Maybe but not it's more of the MFA companies having to rethink how they do it I mean because crowdsack has no idea Until you tell crowdsack see crowdsack the way the intelligence works back and forth They're looking at it known attacks and going. Hey Here's a WordPress site easy example because it has integration into this and someone keeps trying to hit this thing on WordPress That sends an alert someone's trying to do a thing from this IP that Intelligence data then goes back up to crowdsack with the MFA. It would require Someone knowing what IPA came in on someone reporting back to crowdsack and I to my knowledge There's zero MFA companies that have integration with them could be wrong And they would have to know that that MFA came from the wrong spot. Honestly, you it's a more of a user training thing I think that's a bigger place. You need to stop it. I mean There shouldn't be the ability for an MFA system to it should have some rate limiting, you know I mean, there shouldn't be that many times. There's not a user scenario. I can really think of where it should come at you repeatedly You type in your username you type in your password. You're prompted your MFA you hit yes You hit no you move on it shouldn't be 20 yeses or noes coming at you as a choice Also by the way as I said someone has your username and password the there comes a point when Maybe there's a rate limiting in whatever the application is to say how many times can that button be pressed because someone keeps logging in with the username Password, but seems to be stuck at the MFA. We got a weird question here of Well, they we think we're so close to verifying this person. We got the two pieces of information. We need that third piece technically Yeah, so I think it's probably more along those lines When did chili get to L's I? Think when it's in Australia It gets too well, so I'm gonna go with that as the answer That's that's my answer on that particular one right there The other things we're working on internally and we're gonna get to the unified thing in a minute I figured I'll let this ramp up a little bit though. I'm I'm working on I'm gonna probably put some like Script together for when I start each one of these live streams And I really been thinking a lot of listen to Corey Drows podcast If you're not familiar with Corey Drow. He's got some really good writing Just a huge plethora of wonderful books a lot of them around the concepts of content and copyright gives you a lot to think About what to chew on very technologically based because he used to work for the EFF But I really like what I was thinking about what I like about his podcast And he kind of gives you the rundown of what he's doing where he's going to be when you can find him at certain places, you know, because maybe you want to see him in an event. So I think that's kind of a You know Way we do things where I'll run down certain things that are going on each vlog Thursday Kind of give you a more in-depth because I think that's somewhere if you go back 290 episodes that was my original concept with this in the first episodes, which were bad, but This would allow me to kind of give people a catch up on what's going on in a business and among the things going on is You know right now we hired another employee. So that's a new thing So welcome Travis who's actually in here. So we you know have another staff member and we're working on things and I'm It's most things as we grow Organizing and how you look at and perceive very this worked when we had X number of clients This is having trouble with that. So I'm trying to put down that we'll do with some videos on It's kind of a journey that we're going through or what is and doesn't work It thinks Tom was wrong about if how we want to do it, you know and easily call me out Tell me time you ran it for a long time a lot of ticket system Yeah, but there got to be a point where I decided I did need a ticket system So I was like, okay, we hit a scalability point for number tickets and how we process things So there's always, you know, what will change over the years I thought about trying to go back to find or figure out where some of those turning points were to kind of, you know Journey things along and talk about them. I think it's kind of an interesting Concept of where you are as you grow the things you thought were true the things you have to understand differently and organize to keep moving forward That's just the way things go Yes, Tom live in two places for sure Be of sense question if I have NTP server enable on PFS So I need a rule to allow Part 1 2 3 on this firewall destination automatic. So if you have NTP enabled, I'm assuming you're doing it from Internal and if you're doing it internally, no, you don't need to Block that it's going to be attached to the internal IP address Therefore, it's going to be accessible internally if you want to make it accessible externally Probably I can't think of any good reason to do that But that would require a rule but by default on the land side, you don't require a rule for that. Oh Yes, Brett's not at the office today. He's hanging out in Riverview his home city Which is which is so only two miles from the office roughly is where he lives. So, you know, we all live relatively close to the office, so Yeah Any feedback and then the new Unify software release with open VPNs and WAN load balancing a closer step No, I want to look at it because I want to see how they're doing The the low the not the load balancing but the open VPN because to my knowledge and someone please call me out if I'm wrong Because I have not really with this particular version doesn't open VPN still require you to tie it to their Unify UID system. So that was one of my problems I had Some of us live close Some of us don't live quite so close But nonetheless if I'm not mistaken Unify still requires the tie-in for open VPN to the UID system Correct someone please correct me if I'm wrong on that because I do want to look into it We we keep the unified dream machine hanging out at the office We jokingly call it the unified disappointment machine and the reason we call that It's just one of those things. Oh, okay, they do have it cool. So Cody's play with this I'm always disappointed in where they go with it like open VPN is not new It's in been around forever in many many firewalls So they have an open VPN but it's built into unifying network. So is it still not just a standard file you download Cody? Maybe I'll watch Cody's probably got a video on this by the way Check out Cody's channel as well Mac telecom networks if you haven't already two weeks ago I brought up the issue. I was having that's to say restarting unified looping Long ranch AP a long range AP long ranch AP we can go with that Found out I messed up knowing as P we plus and had it on POE port. Yep, that'll do it Yeah The the back there is from where my office is to where Travis is there is definitely a nice back road ride It's if you follow like the here on River Drive. It's actually a nice curvy road Ah Yes, see all right, but uh, yeah, I don't know Unify always falls short on how they handle things when it comes to VPN. It's I don't understand It's it's just kind of a weird thing that Unify does and I don't I don't get it So I do get this though. I think this is clever that what Unify is doing here So Introduce Travis. Yes, try Travis Is one of the new staff members here over at Lawrence systems I don't know Maybe I'll do some behind the scenes if people are interested about who works at Lawrence systems So I I don't really know how much interest people have at it But maybe I don't know maybe we'll bring them on for some of the live streams or something. I Think I've had miles on one time Maybe Me and Steve are gonna do a video together on a few things where we see we're gonna do a video on How the silliness works for dealing with layer three in Unify switches? That's a whole different topic But let's talk about this right here and this is the new Unify The protect AI theta as it's called what a crazy name it has But I don't know Like what they're going with this I'm it's gonna be availability and what the concept is really simple You got a 21 millimeter Camera here now obviously is all gonna tie into Unify protect Yeah, well yeah Travis says that may take a little convincing to get him in here and Brett me and Brett do videos together, but yes Strange name, but like it. Yes Um But I in concept here's here's what I've wondered for a while and I'm cool to see unified doing what I think they're doing Without having this product in hand. We don't know but you know, I look at this right here. Let's talk about Like my phone so here's a Phone that takes it's this thin and this is an entire phone You think about how small this of a device this is and how amazing the photos are that you take with it Like the phones are doing killer jobs. I'm recording full Wonderful 4k video at high res and it's all stored in a very compact device I'm like, why don't we take some of the guts out of it specifically the camera and you can watch plenty of jerry rig Everything videos and you can see how he tears apart the cameras. It's not that big of a piece And I've always ordered When is that technology which is obviously extremely mass produced even in the lower end smartphones? With a good camera. Why isn't more of that camera equipment getting into our nbrs? That's just the question I have like why isn't it and that's what I really feel that unify is doing here Is really shrinking it and sticking in there and this to me I love it this Concept in platform is going to make me happy like this is nice tiny Cameras they have the little device that captures all that is going to be like an intermediary So you have the camera there's still some electronics that need to be done So that can go in this device here at some great distance to it. They have a audio integration to it By the way two-way audio integration, which I thought was kind of cool But so you have this long tether so to speak. I think this is a great product Now what's going to come down to of course Is Availability because that's one of the challenges everyone has been complaining about for in rightfully. So is Cool new product that also is part of the Unobtainable products that are hard to get my hands on it any Quantity more than limit to per customer Um, so how fully they have a plan to ramp this up and things like that That's obviously going to be an issue and that comes back to me talking about mass produced cell phone cameras Obviously cell phones are still shipping it scale They've kind of solved some of that. So hopefully there's a They understand the methodology by which they can get that going. So I think this is a really cool product from unify The other part and why I brought up Synology surveillance station air is going to be because Uh, the thing that's going to come out of this is copycats because that's always what happens The unify is going to come out with it Companies out there are going to see it's popular and they're going to go let's build one of those So what i'm really going to be looking forward to is all the companies that copy Exactly what unify does and make a decent camera. It's the hike visions. It's the amcrests all those companies are going to go Hey, let's You know Bring this down a bit and make it very available very affordable and give us a really awesome camera system related to it so, um It's going to be a uh a game changer as those small cameras come out It's going to be nicer for installs. It's aesthetically nicer. So it's an easier sell of the businesses. So all this is going to be really cool. Um Why don't just connect to paway at the end of the new camera? I the the format's a little strange Being that it's on that little tether thing that they have. So that's uh, where'd it go? So they kind of show it there I mean Like the fan I they go all in on these fancy graphics and there's a little tether thing Then here's the speaker thing that plugs into it But I thought this part was silly. I'm like, wait a minute.  Don't get me wrong. That's still smaller than your average camera. Um, so Interesting enough, but yeah It's still cool what they're coming out with on that. So Uh, what do you think about the black camera AI bullet? Um, I haven't spent a lot of time with their AI stuff I'm gonna kind of re-circle back and visit it as I'm finishing up my video on the Synology surveillance station. So that video is really I gotta finish it because I think I've done as much as I'm going to do on it And I've even done the let me pull all this up Let's see where is it? Counting report So, all right. Now I can share this like I've even done long term now. Here's uh, August in July counting cars how many cars drive by I've You know dove into how this system works. I wanted to make sure I really understood it How everything works about it. How good it is at detections. I wanted to do it like over time I told Synology students like hey time when you do that review and I'm like one I've got a lot of data And I really like where Synology gives me all these advanced tools now at the same time. Yes, I'm still using and I still have at our office in One of the uh, unify nvr So I'm going to do an updated review because it's changed a lot and has a lot of cool new features So I want to go over that now kind of do a comparison video once I've got each video separately done I'll do a comparison video of the two kind of directly comparing them I love all the ease of access that I get with unify But what I dislike about unify still is going to be It always feels like they go this far But they give you so little to customize on and one of the easy examples is going to be we have clients that have retention Requirements that are you know mandated retention requirements based on the industries are in well I can set all my rotations and time lapses and everything really really well in the Uh, Synology system I can go granular with it. I've got cool time lapses of you know Like sending a snapshot on a weekly basis. I can even have something do time lapses that go out a year if I want I can back up all that data. I can cue on that data with the deep video analytics based on certain information That's where it just goes so much beyond what unify can do top that off with a wide variety of camera support So unify is catching up with offering a lot more cameras But that comes back to why it's a hard product to sell the lack availability when we're trying to install 30 cameras Can we get 30 unify cameras? That's that's that's a factored in challenge And then if they have those retention problems or want to back up the video Yeah, and I know one day stacking is coming to the unify nvr because there's You know limits to the number of cameras you can support on a single nvr It's just a it's just a problem you're going to run into for certain installs So it's not that I think that it's a bad system. You just have to align and this goes with all things You have to align the client needs make sure Here's what they need now. Here's what they might grow into and make sure they're clear Does the system fit those and then come in there And say all right, you know This will fit their need fit their growth needs. Maybe it's a camera growth or a feature need they have And cool. I can sell them that product, but you know, you really have to scope out the client needs We don't try to shove a product to what we think the client wants you have to really ask about their business use case understand it and then Select products that will service them properly. If not, you're going to have a bad relationship with the client when it's all done so On a thursday so I can crash tom's vlog absolutely Access and hick vision have pinhole IP cameras. Do they? Hick vision In whole camera, but are they good? You know what? I guess I'll have to order one but You know, we'll pull this up for people I don't know. I have not looked at these at all before someone said this but They get a one star rating. I don't know how good they are. Who else makes a pinhole camera? Oh, this one's h265 How good are they though? Are they're good ones? That's what I want to know. Maybe I'll buy one of these and poke at it But Yeah, I don't know I should I probably should have qualified. I know some of these exist I'm hoping um Good ones exist because I I think unify one thing. I'll give you to find me the quality of the camera is good you know, we've been using the unify platform for a long time at my office and uh Quality-wise reliability. This is one of those things that I Want to make clear it has been a solid system. We have had a Really no downtime from it. Uh, it just works So that's that's a big factor when you're using these is it's longevity NVRs have a long life cycle. So they're not something that's the set and forget it There's something that's gonna, you know run for quite a while something on my screen So I figure out what it was and I'm like, oh, it's literally something on my screen I'll admit this too. There's one thing I'm waiting for the cameras to pull up at the office Come on. There we go Add them in there. I like that someone wrote purge on this It's uh, I'm I'm vpn back to my office to Get this. So I probably have to grab a screenshot to give you a better quality idea. Let's see Try to figure an easy way to share that. Well, I'm not too worried about it You kind of get the idea It looks a little better when I do a screenshot because the vpn is limiting it a little bit But the quality-wise on these is not bad. Like I'm not unhappy with the cameras that we have in the unify nbr system right now Which is a East facing out. So you got g3 g3 g4 pro The magic video tube is people ask we like that device. I've reviewed that that thing works great So that works well. Um, and this is still working. I got to do a um video on this tamper detected Clear tamper says yeah, I tampered with it. That was me playing with. Why don't I tamper with it last? That's about right So we'll clear the tamper status for now. Tom tampered with it Time to find the office from video. Yes Yeah, what can we what kind of o-sense can can jason pick up on um based on This here and by the way, these are some the uh, do they still make i'm not positive sell these the g3 bullets have been around a minute Um, that's longevity. They've been around for a while g4 pro Uh g4 bullet here, but these two these two are original. These are really old Um, but they work they work great. They've been around I've come many years ago. Those came out I can't remember now Uh, do you think ui is abandoned? I still never found the water leak add-on. That's the thing. I don't know I it's been so long. I just don't know um Bullet no sound. I think those I think those have sound don't they yeah Yeah, they have sound the ai stuff and the detections are pretty cool I like the way they do this but back to lack of customization and um It's it it's not a terrible job.  It's it's not um But for most users, I think it's good. Hey look the police are here or the police for uh See when this happened this was at today The cops were driving through the parking lot That's an odd spot. That's the back corner of the Lowe's parking lot I said Lowe's parking lot. So it's not hard to find I already know what they're doing. No people cut through that parking lot all the time So they're they're getting people who cut through So I can Yeah, there's lots to look through here, but don't worry. You can tell it's working quite well even over a vpn back to my house here It does work pretty well. So um, I got to talk to jay because I don't have my door I don't think we have the door but hooked up anymore, but I believe jay from learning lakes tv is using his I haven't really we've done any commercial installs of the unified doorbell So I do need to do some following up on those. That's going to be interesting We used to have a tom cam but he got rid of it. Yeah, true Well, we still have the other one is called um Because it my car used to be parked out back That's why this one's called tesla nanny cam So it's uh zoom in on that So yeah, that's it used because that's where I parked my car to charge it so the the tesla nanny cam and it's now a different camera. So let's go back over to here and the tesla's back in the garage so No more uh, no more nanny cam The truck is packed parked back over here where it always is We can go to the martini bar. I'm okay with this There's actually I would jason we need to go to um There's a couple places downtown. There's a good cigar. I don't know if you're a cigar person I'm not really but the cigar bar has a really good uh drink selection So hey, if you're not busy just message me. I'll meet you somewhere on that Not a far drive. We have um Some craft brewing places. We got a few cigar bars. We got a few Good drink bars some whiskey bars So yes, there's definitely a few good places we can meet up right around right around here very close. So Log in to the tesla and get the footage. You know, that's a new feature They have is you can you can watch the footage This is actually something i'm gonna turn on right now because this is fun I can show people where do you do this at? I've only done it once I haven't really played with it much It's under controls There's a camera option now Where'd it go? They have the new um valet and add driver sentry mode Oh, and they got to turn that on View live camera there we go.  So first we'll do it this way remove this so you can see My car can look and see the cameras around it. So we'll uh that's looking into my living room and then uh Probably gonna see my motorcycle on this side. Oh, you can see the truck or you can do the Look behind So the cameras it's kind of a new feature they added so I can I can watch the cameras on my car Uh outside and I can then watch my cameras To see the car from the inside. So yes, I have All that covered top to bottom Everything has cameras the car's a giant telemetry device The uh my g3 pro has no sound also inferable not auto switch I think there was someone that had some bugs like that. So yeah Uh, you should check out the new unified doorbell has a fingerprint scanner and a second package cam and floor path light That's pretty cool. I thought about checking them out In I can go look real quick. Um, you know if I doorbell is What's the availability like on those I'm just gonna look right now. See if they're out of stock again Oh in stock. That's a g4 doorbell But is this the newest one so cameras doorbell doorbell Yeah doorbell pro and Here are some comparables. This is this is the challenge and why it's been kind of slow I mean, it's cool to review them, but It's just it's sold out all the time. That's um Until they really get in there with the stock. It's going to be a problem. So Now a mud hens game Yes, I can watch my cameras while watching my cameras with my other cameras Is it possible to the tesla style gmv air like going with that would be fun if it worked you could test No, there's no way to do that. Um, but that would be interesting for sure Um, but one thing you can do. This is another advantage that synology has you can tie This your phone as a camera device really any android I don't know if this works on iphone But any android phone can do this as well And I think that's a really neat feature because then you can even take an older phone And turn it into a camera that you can just set up anywhere and now you have this extra camera for things So We've turned tom's vlog into irc. I'm completely fine with that I was completely fine. You know what I thought was really clever. Um, there was a Complaint at one of the schools because the kids You know, they're banned from a lot of applications. Uh while they're in high school But they figured out they could have private chats by using shared docs and google And set up the chat inside of google chat because a lot of schools use g-suite. I'm like, okay, that's clever You you can turn anything back into irc So Yeah fun stuff, but I don't know. I may look at some of these pinhole cameras. Um so Pinhole See the hidden ones I want to look for ones that have Uh The proper support so Flipping through I don't know if someone has a link tag me on twitter on it If you know one that works well, maybe I'll add that to my sonology review I got extra licenses on my sonology if I wanted to play with a couple cameras I'll get the review done first. Uh, but in addition to I wouldn't mind playing with some of those other cameras so What do you mean the good ol ours? I takes you back and the good ol our irc days You don't have your irc client open somewhere in one of those, uh, you know floating windows backgrounded in Um, I actually I did turn off my irc bouncer I think in 2020 the biggest reason I did though was it was too much of a distraction to me I was too. I was talking to too many people on too many things on randomness and yes, so definitely, um yeah irc always open What am I looking for in a pinhole camera? Uh, one that's good good resolution and you know It's not about hiding it in terms of being obscure that you're doing it But kind of like how they I mentioned earlier where ubiquity is offering something that allows a better More aesthetically pleasing mount, you know, so it's if you're looking at retail locations and things like that but quality matters and the thing is I seen the the, uh Um, the reviews so far none of these look like they have any good reviews that It sounds like they're just cheaply made And that may be part of the problem so Like I'm only pull up the amazon search.  I Ip these all seem like just not quality pieces of equipment That's kind of the problem I have with them like which ones are quality Home hidden spy camera DIY.  I'm looking for something that's actually a good camera. Good 4k resolution. Like I said We have it in our phones. If I have a phone that can do this It doesn't seem like a leap to put it into some type of reasonably small package with high quality results Not this so if someone knows of a good one, let me know. I'm just curious on that It'd be a interesting thing to dive into Um, which cameras are using the Synology to support face recognition and objects? That's a good question. Let's talk about that now I have my video where I talk about how to do advanced detection and specifically the cameras. I'm using Are these amcrest ones actually wrong spot? Let's pull them up in here Because this will give you the model number the video I have is linked in there So let's start with the driveway cams. This I we've got a couple of these out there Nope, that's not it either You gotta edit the camera. There we go It's an amcrest I can I zoom this in maybe ip 8 m t 2 6 9 9 e w a i So that model right there. I have that video where I have these all linked and broke down for you And I should talk about how to set up the advanced detections event detections And that's over here and how to configure them. So it does human and vehicles in the driveway Uh, and that's a function of the camera. Whoops. I should probably share this right Now we can hit edit Show it right there ip there we go ip 8 m t 6 2 6 9 9 e w a i so that'll Um Give you an idea and then from there and I got the video where I Step by step walk you through how to do this event detection And setting these up for human and vehicle and then there's a set of camera settings You have to say to trigger so the camera actually does the triggering on there. So Head look trillion was the best allow you to connect to multiple IM services. Oh, I remember that for a while there. Yes so, yeah that's a That's the thing. Um, I've heard a few people say they like that system the a vigil on we're not a vigil on reseller but I've heard People seem to like it We've kind of settled on synology because it's so flexible in terms of all the different things it will do Uh, and it meets so many of the client needs. I don't have a problem as I said too selling, um You know the the unify ones, but the problem is selling the unify ones getting is getting them in stock and having them So that's yeah It's uh makes a difference It's really expensive. Yeah, I'm assuming you're talking about the cameras. Uh, yeah, they're they're a little bit. Um Yeah They have when you go to those ai ones or obviously they they have a higher price tag, but I think they're great I've had mine for a while. We put them up last year And uh, I think that makes a difference when you're talking about something and actually Let's see recordings What's the one per week One days one days seven days You know the long term Is what I want to talk about with any of these systems is because I'm not just using them I've been using them over time So these been installed for like these cameras are been installed for a year And I've got things set up like time lapses. I've got all these different functions, uh on them This is why I like these synologies being able to do All the different things that I do with them In the ai detections man, they're needed. Um It the problem is squirrels literally they um They set things off quite a bit. They're always setting things off So you have the problem of is it the squirrels or is it a person in my driveway? That's where these ai detections They just save you the well as we talked about in that sysco thing alert fatigue that you can get because Suddenly alerts are useless if every time a cat walks by every time a squirrel walks by or every time a bird lands on my truck It says hey look, I've alerted you for motion Um, but when you say I only want to be notified when a car pulls in my driveway or when a person walks up the driveway big difference Now you can see many of my friends we hang out on my back porch from time to time These are this is time lapsing that uh that these synologies do it's super cool the way the time lapses work So what's this one from seven seventeen?  This is when I set up the fire pit I thought maybe I don't know anyways I'm goofing off clicking on these things, but nonetheless the uh the ai detection works really well And let's actually go down to the Is it the monitor center? No Nope, we just want to pull up the recordings. I guess there we go search camera We're only going to do driveway And we're going to choose well, let's start here. Here's all the motion detection for driveway Oh joy. Look at all that motion detection That's not helpful to anyone to find something or what's going on But what is helpful is going over here And we go to event type and we choose You know advanced event Actually, we get rid of yeah, that should be it. If I just do that. Oh now we got a much narrower event Let's edit that I don't want the manual. We only want advanced. There we go so If we look at only advanced events, you're going to find probably when someone was in the driveway or someone walked outside Or a car is parked over here Or my wife walking around outside Instead of getting a bunch of motion events. So this is much more Uh helpful. Uh vehicle left the driveway Hey, look, it's tom riding his bicycle back up the driveway So yes, tom has a funny bicycle. So those are why that makes it so much better Um to do Yes, the shadow of the trees will set off the motion detection Exactly. That's one of the problems you run into. That's why these advanced motion tools are so important and having these type of cameras that can do that Uh are important combine that with The fact that you can do these deep video analytics and do Person or vehicle and driveway who's on my porch. Um, it'll collect a a list of people who are on the porch. Um And and do facial recognition and things like that that's done on the dva series of this analogy Now you got a pretty cool use case for all that. It's like I said, it's a really slick system But that's most what I had to talk about for today Uh, I'll do because I have a few more minutes. Um rapid fire questions as I always do so people can get me off topic What else you want to ask about? Um, I covered the things I plan to cover when I got here You want one of those recumbent bikes? I love my recumbent bike. I've had it for a long time Yeah See I got a picture of it somewhere That's how I listen to all my books is I go ride around on my recumbent bike There we go I ride around on my recumbent bike listening to books and uh, it keeps me exercised and whatnot. So Do any of the unified cameras uh support license plate detection in the night not really I don't think any of them do a good job of license plate detection at all that that i'm aware of Um anyone can correct me if i'm wrong on that but to my knowledge, it's not a good unified feature It is a feature of synology. You get a good camera. You can do license plate detection. Uh, that is a synology thing Oh, yeah, why not? Don't forget to smash the like button. That's probably important too somewhere Help those youtube algorithms That is always helpful. I don't know how that works because uh, so many people are watching this on linkedin I don't know how many people are watching me on linkedin. I've seen a few people jump in early I'm building my linkedin. So I don't know how many people are on there 41 likes 108 people. So yes Absolutely go ahead and uh, jump up on that Do you know any ip cameras with the highest zoom live in the hillside with a view and want to zoom in fire emergency vehicles I don't know. I'm not spending a lot of time researching at there are there are some high zoom cameras out there The price jumps up a lot That much I can tell you but i've not really spent a lot of time reviewing any high zoom cameras Do you need cc and a cc and p as a must have to get jobs network engineer? It kind of depends a lot of the Market and i'm not the expert on this because that's uh, I mean my here's the thing Technically I can just say no because I don't require it for my network engineers But a lot of companies you have if you look at the job market a lot of them are requiring some type of that certification so Possibly that you'll need a certification similar to that in order to get your foot in the door because it's just a Blanket requirement they have I don't have a question. I really like to thank you for the amount of knowledge to share with us Hey, that is great. I am so glad I can help Best regards from Cairo, Egypt. That's awesome. Uh Quite a ways away Egypt there Unified cameras you have or record on the unify or analogy now unify cameras There's a hacky way to do it, but Generally speaking unify cameras go to the unify system. That's it. There there's different ways. They're not standard compliant They unify nvr only works with the unify cameras and unify cameras are only designed to work with the unify nvr And that's it's a closed ecosystem So you can't mix the cameras and match them Could you possibly but it wouldn't be wonderful make a unify camera work on Synology? You could possibly get it to work I think I've seen people talking about it, but it's more of a why would you? um If you want to go with the Synology something maybe there's some use case for it But I can't really like if you just wanted to not bother switching cameras But really wanted an nvr with the settings you were looking for um But it's going to make them harder to manage. It's it's not Really what it's designed for generally you don't match the unify cameras with a Synology You're going to want to match them with the unify nvr. So Um, were there any questions too? And if anyone got a chance to Watch that we did the how I would hack you video. That was a lot of fun. I did that with Jason and matt Um, that's that's one of those things like we left a lot of tools and a lot of links for reading for people So you can you know break down how to do it? I've heard people say it works. I've heard a lot of people say it's buggy So if you use the rtsp cam for the unify cams yeah, uh, but I've heard a lot of people tell me it doesn't work consistently or great And that people reached out to me and want me to help with it. I'm like Uh Yeah Love that make new series. Yeah.  Uh, we'll depending on how our schedules and timings Line up, but yeah, we definitely want to make some more videos to bring more awareness and education One thing that's really important to me Is that All of you are getting a real world view of how the attacks happen and all that because there's the hype There's the sexiness of you know breaking in or hacking and there's a lot of that and don't get me wrong That's a lot of fun using hack the box and all these other different sites that allow you to do some of the testing and understand Things is awesome And it's really challenging and rewarding to use a really advanced technique to break into something But then you find out a company as large as Cisco was hacked by someone hammering on the nfa So we want to make sure that the low hanging things are secured now as the ecosystem of technology grows Yes, those things are going to become harder and harder We're going to be a more robust system which will lend it to people having to use those Uh more advanced techniques and the tax and we're starting to see that now That's why supply chain attacks are getting more popular You know threat actors are always going to go over the as anyone does What's the easiest way to achieve the goal? That's that's just the way it works Whether you're a threat actor or if it's your job you go What is the easiest way to achieve the goal? The right actor's goal is very frequently either espionage if they're state sponsored actor Or they are looking for money if they're just the standard variety criminal actor What's the easiest way for them to achieve that goal? Well people with rdp open Definitely for a long time and still accounts for many of the Flaws out there unpatched systems. That still accounts for many of the flaws out there Not having to f a getting people to do fishing links. These are all those easy things That's why we keep seeing those and we just want to keep talking about them until people have those all secured Love my unified cameras with DM pro and technology from rope backup cool Second motion make a series out it.  That is awesome. He just has such a really cool Product it's it's such a weird blindside in the market And so yeah, me and him we're good. Maybe he me and him will do something together. John's great Who does you know, he's not just has a cool product like he's pretty cool guy. So I think that matters because sometimes products Can be difficult to use because maybe the ceo or the management people are not wonderful people Or maybe their marketing people are just awful and say say lots of things that are just not true And they can hamper a good product because we don't like their marketing team for good reasons Yes, sysco got hacked for sure uh you know I thought about doing a video on this you don't have substantial gains. It's not like night and day Uh going to the jumbo frames.  What about the other switch? I have what about the other one over here What about when I go through two switches? What about when I add a vlan or something like that? It causes this bug. There's just more bugginess in it Um from different vendors like oh, yeah, you can't send the mt to 9 000 You get a set to 9 000 plus a certain amount of padded overhead because there's a Uh part of their switch. I can't which switch we had to do that in it was a weird bug where it was just dropped part of Part of it. I don't know why So it's I think it's overhyped It's one of those things like Do you really need the performance? Is that your performance limitation? By the way too if you have a 10 gig connection Are you connecting to a flash array? Well, no, you're not Well, then why bother with it because it's not going to help you any If you're if you're not connecting it to a bunch of Really fast drives that can saturate the connection then the mtu isn't your bottleneck Internal threats are dangerous and recent. They're not recently popular always been popular Yes Cisco got all their handbooks and any connects stolen. Yeah This is a good point right here if you do jumbo frames Do it on an isolated network like you build your storage network Homogenous with exactly the same switches so you don't run into any weird issues and your storage network That's fine set that up with jumbo frames. That's usually where people want to set it up The the caveats and pitfalls are oops. I forgot to set something in the stack to jumbo frames And now some of the frames are missing. So yes So it's just for storage 9032 for the vlan tag. Yes Yes, jason jason nailed it. Those are those are the numbers. I could not remember on the fly He is completely right about that Because if you don't have the extra frame for the vlan tag, it throws that out So just things to consider but it's not like it'll double your performance with this one simple trick so It's faster, but that yeah Usually there's other other things in interoperability. By the way, don't route your storage network I've done enough consulting to know that that warning has not been heated by all so Why are why are you trying to route your storage network sir? That's where people run into bigger problems. I should say But nonetheless Uh barring any more questions we have for tom. I'll wind it down here. I gotta go Uh do a couple things. Um Probably no more videos today because I think I'm burned out I got I got enough done today. I have a few like business things I got to work on So he's always pushing things forward moving things forward talking to the staff at the office and all that So thanks everyone for joining. Um, oh and I'll give us, you know, shout out too because I want to see that number go up We'll throw that out there. Where's his beard banter Charity shave that beard We'll throw this up real quick on the screen. Give him another shout out for this. We we uh mention it in there so it's uh Moving right along. This is the shave the beard charity So he needs to update things because this is from july 22nd I don't know if he's updating it once a month, but a lot of people are participating in it I got a link right here. It's also in the highway with hacky video. Uh, this is just Really cool that uh, Simon at least doing a raising uh money for some good charities And it will have some uh bearded fellows, which does include jason slagle adam evans matt lee There's there's a lot of beards in here. There's a lot of oh, josh from finn is in there. Let me zoom this in There's a lot of bearded individuals here There we go. These guys are going to shave their beard if the donations, uh reach it.  I'm sure there's all kinds of problems with that Do you put ssl search on your firewall even if they're not publicly accessible? Not usually. Um Not all the time Go on vacation get rest. What vacation? I love what I do for a living. So that's my problem This is what this is what I do. That's why I don't go I I take that back. I do Go on uh motorcycle trips. So Uh, I guess I'll call those vacations. So my little Uh few day trips rather like two or three days long wandering around on a motorcycle. So I Was doing that what? Uh How do I probably share this? I've got another one. I'm gonna be doing Um, but yes, I I do you you'll find me wandering around the woods somewhere on my motorcycle. Uh, that's definitely something That's that's my away time from the keyboard We can get a ways are kind of my vacations. Yes, so Definitely something like that All right. Well, thanks everyone for joining awesome having all of you here Uh, check out those videos. We just did they're just a lot of fun with a lot of links and everything to some insight on How we would hack you all that stuff. I just thought that was really uh, a great time I'm positive. I predict many more videos coming from me jason and uh Matley and you know, donate to the beard charity check all that stuff out. That's pretty cool And uh, I'll make a better list next time of like some of the places I'll be so I got to solidify a few of them because I got some linux conferences ago too I'll be at it nation connect. I've said that a bunch of time on my business extra kelly's channel and Yeah, the you know, there's I want to probably put a public calendar because I I like meeting people in person By the way that way to tell people hey, I'll be here if you want to come hang out bs or whatever Uh due to some scheduling arrangements and a lot of people messaged me on this because I was originally going to be at black hat Uh, those schedules didn't line up and didn't work out properly Uh flights got changed flights got cancelled and I said, you know, I'm just not going to do it this year So that'll be maybe next year's event. I'll be there But uh, nonetheless hit me up on the twitters I'm easy enough to find hit me up in my forums if you don't like the twitters and uh other social media platforms You can find me linkedin because I posted this live on linkedin another place. You can connect with me So all right awesome everyone take care and I'm out of here You forgot the lts logo on the motorcycle. No, I ride the motorcycle to forget about work So we will uh point out there is no It just says yamaha I'll leave you with that. I don't need to be reminded of where I work Thanks, or I think my accountant said this is probably not a business expense. So I won't even go there I don't want to tempt fate later


Lesson 321 Father, my freedom is in you alone. And what is creation? Creation is the sum of all God's thoughts in number, infinite and everywhere without all limit. Only love creates and only like itself. There was no time when all that it created was not there. Nor will there be a time when anything that it created suffers any loss. Forever and forever are God's thoughts exactly as they were and as they are. Unchanged through time and after time is done. God's thoughts are given all the power that their own Creator has. For He would add to love by its extension. Thus His Son shares in creation and must therefore share in power to create. What God has willed to be forever one will still be one when time is over and will not be changed throughout the course of time, remaining as it was before the thought of time began. Creation is the opposite of all illusions, for creation is the truth. Creation is the Holy Son of God, for in creation is His will complete in every aspect, making every part container of the whole. Its oneness is forever guaranteed in violet, forever held within His holy will. Beyond all possibility of harm, of separation, imperfection and of any spot upon its sinlessness. We are creation, we the sons of God. We seem to be discreet and unaware of our eternal unity with Him. Yet back of all our doubts, past all our fears, there still is certainty. For love remains with all its thoughts, its sureness being theirs. God's memory is our holy minds which know their oneness and their unity with their Creator. Let our function be only to let this memory return, only to let God's will be done on earth, only to be restored to sanity and to be but as God created us. Our Father calls to us. We hear His voice and we forgive creation in the name of its Creator, holiness itself, whose holiness His own creation shares, whose holiness is still a part of us. Father, my freedom is in You alone. I did not understand what made me free nor what my freedom is nor where to look to find it. Father, I have searched in vain until I heard Your voice directing me. Now I would guide myself no more, for I have neither made nor understood the way to find my freedom. But I trust in You. You who endowed me with my freedom as Your holy Son will not be lost to me. Your voice directs me, and the way to You is opening and clear to me at last. Father, my freedom is in You alone. Father, it is my will that I return. Today we answer for the world which will be freed along with us. How glad are we to find our freedom through the certain way our Father has established. And how sure is all the world's salvation when we learn our freedom can be found in God alone. Amen.


The beauty of a mother is reflecting the father in heaven. Just as one looks into a mirror to see themselves brightly.  You see, mothers do not merely mother. Mothers mirror the father. Though the moon cannot shine brightly on its own, its reflected sunlight is a comfort during times you feel alone. When we walk through the valley of darkness, it is a mother who reminds us not to fear for the fathers with us. So to all the mothers on this special day, to the ones that have children and the ones that had children, to the adoptive mothers and the spiritual mothers, the mothers to be and the moms that are not yet, happy Mother's Day and thank you for showing us
