Innovation, Cool Factor Are Dead And The Spy Toy Industry Killed It

Image
  As a society, I believe that we have lost the will for innovation. People claim that AI should be outlawed because of shoddy personal reasons, while companies continue to iterate with the same thing over and over again with no new, fresh ideas. You can see this not only in the phone industry, where the phones slightly change and continue to get more powerful, but the mobile applications continue to stay the same. Seventy percent of the top ten apps are social, chat, and shopping applications—essential web apps that have existed since 2013—not really using the core processing power of the device, because consumers have no demand for it and companies don’t want to provide it anymore.      You all voted to turn this into a spy-centric company, so I was thinking of coming up with new ideas for software that budding teen spies could use. Using my historical knowledge, you know that computers used to be used for codebreaking, missile guidance systems, and communication....

Zoom Enhance: Upscale Images On PC Offline!!!

Image
     Television shows often show pictures getting enhanced. Today I’ll show you how you can use free software to enhance blurry photographs—just like you’re on an SSALTW mission. Even better, this software is completely free and finally WORKS OFFLINE! No cloud needed.      Thankfully, you don’t need any ridiculous command line tools, dependencies, or weird versions of Linux. The site https://upscayl.org/ provides a nice offline copy, with the download button right at the top. After installing the application, open it and click Select Image . This will open the file picker so you can choose the picture you want to enhance.      Depending on the type of image, you’ll want to choose a different model. Digital Art is for drawings, cartoons, bad logos, vector art, or a screengrab from your favorite 80s cartoon. For regular photos, I normally use Standard or Lite .      After selecting your model, you can choose how many times ...

Hello, this is TheTechBoy with a special article.      As part of our spy series, you may want to decrypt some codes. In this article, I will show you how to use the auto-decrypt function of the Caesar Cipher app on Android. First, ensure the app is installed and ready to use. When you open it, click the settings gear and check that your language is selected and the correct alphabet is set.      Import your cipher into the first box and make sure the auto button is selected. Within a few seconds, the text should auto-decrypt! This application is amazing, and I wish it worked on PC! God bless, and UIFUFDICPZ JT UIF CFTU!!

How To Make A Spinning 3d Earth Background In ArcGIS Earth

Image
     Hello, this is TheTechBoy with a follow-up to our article " How to Build a Spy Base ." Today, I’ll show you how to make a spinning Earth background in ArcGIS Earth. 1. Open ArcGIS Earth and click the movie icon at the top of the screen. This will open a mini video editing interface where you can start keyframing.      Next, rotate and skew the Earth. Have fun with it! Tilt it and point it at the continent you want it to start on. Once you have it positioned, come back to this article. Now, look at the timeline and select the "rotate" option. Click on it, and in the corner, you’ll see some settings. Choose "orbit" mode, set it to 360 degrees, and select your desired speed.      When you’re done, click play. If you choose "normal" speed, a full rotation will take about 20 seconds. For a continuous, smooth loop, you will have to edit the last few seconds of the video off in a seperate video editor.       Once the video i...

The Best Software For Spy Kids

Image
Are you feeling inspired by the SSALTW series? Do you want to do the things that were done in the book ?  Do you dream of becoming a kid spy? Unfortunately, since companies have stopped making spy toys and radio communication devices, we now turn to computer and mobile software to fill the gap. The number one aspect of a good spy agency is communication. If you have walkie-talkies, that’s a great first step. To take it digital (or intercept your rivals’ communications), download SDR+ or SDR# on a PC. These are compatible with my favorite SDR device, the RTL-SDR. With this setup, you can intercept frequencies, monitor your team’s conversations from a home base, or record your opponents’ communications. On mobile, the applications shown below of apps can offer similar functionality. You might use applications like Snapchat or Instagram for more modern communications, but these aren’t as secure as Briar, a peer-to-peer communication app. Briar allows you to communicate over the s...

Undercover Recording NO ADS!!

    If you are an undercover reporter or a great spy like Ethan Shay, you may need to get video data without anyone knowing or seeing. However, if you search the Play Store, you will find a bunch of ad-riddled Background Video recorder apps.      However, if you don't want foreign ads to trace your high-tech super spy device, or if you need something quick that won't show an ad when you need to start recording, I recommend Fad Cam.      Unfortunately, Fad Cam is not released on the Play Store, so go to the GitHub or the F-Droid website and download it. Make sure your phone is enabled to install unknown apps.  After installing, launch the app. You will see a screen showing how much storage you have and a preview screen. Press the button, and it will start recording. Swiping over will show you your recordings. One more swipe is for settings.     If you want the highest quality recordings, be sure to switch the recording to FHD. Oth...
