Screen-used semi truck from Knight Rider was located, then purchased, and then restored... But unlike the original, they "restored" it and added a set INSIDE that looks like the fake set from the TV show that was "supposed" to be inside the trailer. They had to make minor size changes to get it all to fit, but ... they did it. They went as far as trying to find the exact old computer model, light fixtures, etc. that were used in the original. Amazing job.

For decades, it was thought to be scrapped. Through hard work, research and some divine intervention, we found both parts of the iconic "Knight Rider" semi. After four years of restoration, the F.L.A.G. Mobile Command Center will be roaming the streets once again!

The CoCo “vocoder”

Well, not at all a vocoder, but it did sorta remind me of the way the Daleks sounded on Doctor Who. During my years of isolation in deep East Texas in a tiny town with a population of 225, I had the only CoCo around. In fact, I may have had the only home computer that wasn't at the school. I remember discovering (or maybe reading about this in Rainbow) how you could use the…...

Carbon fiber, amirite? I have a 150cm selfie stick from Best360 that is aluminum, and just received one that is carbon fiber. The carbon fiber one is supposed to be stronger. It is also notably lighter when I pick it up. So of course I weighed them. Such a small amount, but I bet it makes a difference when I have all my gear loaded in my Best360 backpack next time.

Insta360+ cloud service hidden benefits

When Insta360 first started their cloud service, I was invited to participate in the beta process before it was announced to the public. At the time, I simply tried to use it to back up my camera files via WiFi. While it worked, and was GREAT for photos, it was far too slow to be useful as a backup of large video files....

You see, kids, there was once a time when solving a CAPTCHA was difficult for machines, but humans could figure it out. But today? The machines can solve them quickly, and humans struggle.

Facebook Upload Failed error on Insta360 X6 photos

Has this happened to you? The Insta360 X6 exports 360-degree photos at 15520x7760, versus the X5 at 11904x5952. The file size is also larger, with images around 76MB versus around 30MB on the older camera. When I first tried to upload an X6 image to Facebook, most worked, but a few would error out. They were large files, so I tried compressing them down (same image size, but reduced file size) thinking that was the problem....
