Hmm, Wyze has another $10K treasure hunt. I got pretty darn close last time, within the right neighborhood, just by tracking ADSB and listening to the audio of their livestream to identify airplane types. (did not, however, fly up to Seattle to snag the prize). #geolocation
Time for another #osint#geolocation puzzle! This was from a family vacation many years ago.
What amusement park was I at?
What ride am I on? Can you identify the approximate location within the ride?
Roughly was the photo taken? Provide "not before" and "not after" bounds (although if you think you can narrow it down to a specific day, be my guest!)
As usual, please CW guesses or solutions to avoid spoilers for other people.

Comment faire pour avoir accès aux données de géolocalisation de son propre appareil #android ?
Mon ami Google a des trous dans la raquette...
Je précise que c'est pour moi pas pour surveiller ou être intrusive auprès de qui que ce soit !
#Surveillance#Cybersecurity#Bluetooth#BluetoothTrackers#Geolocation: "Bluetooth location trackers such as AirTags, Tile, and Samsung SmartTags are marketed as a way to keep track of luggage or a misplaced wallet, but they can also be easily slipped surreptitiously into a bag or car, allowing stalkers and abusers unprecedented access to a person’s location without their knowledge. These devices are small enough to fit inside wallets or on a keychain, which makes them difficult to find, especially if you don't know what you're looking for.
If you have an Android device or iPhone, you can search for Bluetooth location trackers that might have been placed on you, in your bag or on a car. Your phone may also send you an alert if it detects one of these trackers traveling with you, though the timing of that alert may vary, and you may only get a notification for specific brands of Bluetooth trackers.
This guide will detail what your phone can detect on its own, and which trackers you need a third-party app to detect. Keep in mind that the reliability of detection apps isn't perfect and you should not rely on them entirely." https://ssd.eff.org/module/how-to-detect-bluetooth-trackers
@me_valentijn@hendric@europesays My first guess was 0.18 miles off. Second guess was 0.11 mile off on the wrong corner of the same block! Glad you found the building match. #geolocation
#Privacy#Surveillance#GeoLocation#DataBrokers#DataBrokerage#Bazze: "A San Francisco-based data broker claiming to have defense agency partnerships in the United States and United Kingdom is advertising access to “real-time” location data and a suite of other information, which Western governments can use to track foreign individuals in sensitive locations overseas. Called Bazze, the company markets a platform that can enable searches for people in embassies, consulates, and military bases, underscoring governments’ growing reliance on data brokers to access vast quantities of intelligence on global citizens from commercial sources.
Bazze is part of an often opaque data broker network that mines information from digital ad firms, cellular providers and public records databases for marketing insights and behavior trends. It claims to offer an easy way to ask targeted questions of disparate data sets that would otherwise need to be analyzed individually. In an interview with Forbes, Bazze founder Samuel Semwangu described the company as a marketplace for data. He was quick to note that it facilitates access only — not analysis. For that, “customers must use other tools and analysis they conduct on their own,” he told Forbes."
Well let's see if my checked bags make it to DC. And then if I can get from Washington National to Baltimore in under five hours during rush hour. And then if my connection to Northern Greenland happens.
Amazingly, I've got a full set of Arctic gear in the little green bag (except for my snow boots which take up a quarter of the big orange bag).
I'm really liking the blue Cotopaxi bag. It's got a lot of clever compartments and the waist strap is long enough to fit my fat body.
