Amazon Cloud Cam When Canary Security Cameras dropped several of the features that came in the free plan, and paywalled the built in mic for two way talk, Shannon started the search for an alternative security cam. How does Amazon's Cloud Cam stack up vs. Canary, Arlo, and Nest? Watch the video for the review! (If you want to know what dauth attacks are, read this.)
Network Performance Testing How fast is your router? How slow is the WiFI in that corner of the house? John tweeted out, "in episode 146 you talked about network speed tests (not internet).  What software do you use for this?" We talk about iPerf, which has clients for just about everything, and an easy to run Windows version, Network Performance Test, in the video!
