Hack Your Gadgets and Void Your Warranties This Weekend. Speaking of hacking - why not - let me share my hacking experience today: On multiple levels! - A digital photography tech comment, if you will. I just received my brand new Eye-fi X2 Pro card. Totally forgetting to check how Magic Lantern firmware hack - currently installed on my Canon 550D/T2i - deals with it, anxious as I was to test the thing up, popped it in and turned the camera on. Nothing. Screen went blank, as if there was no battery. Recharged both my batteries and tried again to no avail. At that point, I was having a mini heart attack. Removed the battery, popped my 8Gb Sandisk back and, oh relief of the Gods, everything was back to normal. Google time! Found out after some research that new X2 versions of the Eye-fi cards won't work well with Magic Lantern.
No way. So I managed to make Eye-fi work with my computer, after some time setting my router to work with the card's MAC Address (yes, I keep my router completely locked) - but the night was far from over.
