GoPro's provided video conversion/editing software has become increasingly time-consuming to use. It took TWO HOURS just to convert last weekend's videos; for s'n'g I downloaded the free version of Filmora and it did the precise same thing in about 15. Anyone got advice for free or cheap video editing and conversion software? It'd also be helpful if it could do any sorts of overlays or PiP stuff.

Mp4box and make sure that you have spot metered turned on before you record. $30 for RaceRender to put a synced overlay on your video.

E: mp4box if you just want to do splits. It's a cli tool that is lossless. RaceRender is actually $50, but it has post dials you can mess with (brightness, color, etc).

Because they want even the most simple thing to require a visit to the dealer so the dealer can charge extortive rates for a drl bulb change.

Also I can use it to play music in my car anywhere in the world

What I'm saying is I have a $60 LG Enact in my pocket right now

I am so using this.
I stopped wearing a watch shortly after I started carrying a phone.
When I did wear a watch, I got two of the Timex analog/digital models, both internally the same, but one in stainless with a stainless band, for business, and one plastic with a leather band, for casual. They were $20-30 each, and have never broken. I like the analog watches, but actually used the timer, stopwatch, and alarms, so these worked out well for me. They're both still in my valet, though I think one needs a battery.
Really want an Apple Watch, though not enough to fork over cash (yet.)

That's kinda the point. Look at this guy who doesn't know that lambda in meters = 300,000,000/f and that a consumer wifi antenna is a 1/4 lambda monopole :smug::spergin:

a quarter-wave whip antenna for 2.4GHz is right around 3cm long. Maybe a hair longer since you need to make it the right length at copper wire propagation speed not lightspeed. poo poo, if you wanted to you could fit a fully functional halfwave dipole in the "just for show" antenna you allege most consumer wifi gear comes with.

So what about that precludes it from fitting inside the aforementioned saucer-shaped units with no external antennas, most of which are >6" (or ~15cm) in diameter? I stand by my comment that the external antennas are a gimmick.

So what about that precludes it from fitting inside the aforementioned saucer-shaped units with no external antennas, most of which are >6" (or ~15cm) in diameter? I stand by my comment that the external antennas are a gimmick.

Because many devices have a vertically polarized antenna, for one, and also, MIMO works best (aka at all) if the antennas are parallel (or close to it) in a plane, like fenceposts, unless it is specifically designed to work with the antennas at certain angles. Also you want the antenna away from any other circuitry that can interfere with it, couple signals into it, or block/reflect/absorb its signal, which results in a lovely radiation pattern. Stop pretending you know things you don't, it's obvious to anyone who has any clue about RF that you're talking out your rear end.
