Is there any way to track an Android device without Internet via GPS?
Does a GPS sensor of Android devices work without internet connections?Any GPS receiver (including the receiver in any smartphone) does its job using only the data it receives via radio from the GPS satellites. This data enables it to determine the distances to at least four of the GPS satellites, and from that it can determine your position. That’s all GPS does: determine your position. Your GPS receiver doesn’t need the Internet to do this.However, just knowing your longitude and latitude is probably not what you’re after. If you want to do anything other than just display your longitude and latitude, you need more than just GPS — you need some software and a lot of additional data.If you use a program such as Google Maps, you have to have Internet access. When Google Maps displays your position on a map, calculates a route, or displays nearby traffic, it’s using the Internet to download maps, perform calculations, and retrieve traffic data from Google’s servers.The are lesser-known smartphone apps, such as Copilot, which download ahead of time all the maps for a given area (in the U.S., typically a region, such as the southeast states) so that they don’t need an Internet connection to work. Such apps are ideal for users who don’t have a plan that allows them to use a lot of mobile data.Stand-alone GPS units, such as those made by Garmin and Magellan, usually come with maps for a country pre-loaded, and again, no Internet connection is necessary.But regardless of the hardware and software you use, it all starts with a GPS receiver that determines your position using only the data it receives from satellites, no Internet required.
How dangerous is riding a motorcycle?
It is definitely more dangerous than riding in a car. You do not have nowhere near the protection as you do in a car. Also, drivers in cars many times won't see you. But there are ways to reduce your risk to a reasonable level. Wear the required safety equipment. As a minimum... Start with a good full face helmet. True story. A long time ago I had a friend borrow my full face helmet. He was sober at the time. But he did not stay that way, but that's another story. Later that day he was going about 45 MPH in a residential area. He hit a curb and the bike flipped forward. He did a Super Man over the handlebars and took out a 15 MPH speed limit sign on a 4X4 pole. He hit it face first. The only injuries were 2 broken kneecaps and a scratch on the bridge of his nose. You could imagine how his face would have looked if he only had an open face helmet. Wear a good pair of leather gloves. If you lay your bike down many times you will instinctively want to brace yourself with your hands. You will remove the hide from your hands and fingers in about the first 5 feet of your slide. Ouch. Wear a good leather jacket with armor in at least the shoulders and elbows. Wear a good pair of boots and some heavy pants. The rest is all extra but it never hurts to have more than you need. You never plan to have an accident. It is better to be wearing the safety gear and not need it than need the safety gear and not have it. Ride smart. Assume the other vehicles do not see you. Defensive riding can save your behind. Expect the unexpected. Where I live it seems that lately more riders are killed by hitting deer than anything else. These can come out of nowhere. Don't ride like an idiot. Always remember that on a motorcycle stupid hurts.
Would a person who mastered the flight simulation software on a home PC be capable of flying an actual aircraft?
I’ve been “flying” sims from as early as the mind 1980’s, and have even bought a huge flight controller setup to go with MS Flight 2K. On top of that I’ve spent hundreds of hours flying (and even more hours buildings) radio controlled airplanes, some of which reach speeds of up to 150kph. When I took flying lessons in a real Cessna I found out that although I had a “head start” in some areas such as the theories involved in what makes a plane actually stay up and a, easier learning curve in manoeuvres there was a lot more that I didn’t know than that I did, without which you’re not even going to even get off the ground. Little things like the process of starting the engines, switching magnetos around, etc… or checking the plane out mechanically and fueling it up - and this was all on one of the simplest of planes, a Cessna 152. Then there’s how to talk to the traffic control tower, navigate around the field, and avoid running into other air traffic. Navigation is a whole different ball game in real life too. There’s a bunch of other stuff I could go into but I think I’ve made my point already - sims can be a learning tool but they don’t replace actual flight instruction in the real world.
How do I track a Mac address back to a location and owner?
You don’t.If you are asking this because you want to seek revenge or do something to someone, then you’re out of luck. Simply asking the question tells me that you would not be able to execute something if you were able to find the owner.If you are asking because you found a laptop or other device, then the serial number is the best way to do this, not the Mac address.
