Yes, GoPros have a smartphone app where you can control the camera and watch what it sees, as long as it's within wi-fi range. You can tap the "record" button at t-5 seconds and the camera will keep recording even when out of wi-fi range.
They can also record (IIRC) around an hour on battery - I think it depends on what resolution and frame rate you select.
1. Wouldn't that rate of spin cause problems? I assume this rocket isn't quite as fragile as the recent Japanese satellite, which tore itself apart due to spinning at 78RPM instead of 33.
2. I thought the stabilisers/fins were there to stop that kind of thing?
I've seen two failures to revert to 7. Six hours of troubleshooting and I finally gave up, and started a fresh install of 7.
It seems that W10 did something to the boot sector of the drive. Recovery fixboot, fixmbr, etc, etc, enable all legacy/UEFI boot in the BIOS - none of it worked. I could see the partitions when the HDD was plugged into another machine, so I was able to rescue the customer's data, but it just wouldn't boot the OS - not even a splash screen. Had to boot to recovery from an installation disc.
W10 will have to stabilise (and I mean that in the most generous sense) before I'm prepared to recommend it to customers. W7 end-of-life isn't until 2020, it'll do just fine until then.
GWX is a convenient method to disable the Win 10 upgrade, it isn't *required*. It brings together a number of steps that a. disable the GWX nag, b. sets registry entries to permanently* disable OS upgrades, and c. remove any downloaded W10 installation files. It does a couple of other things, too, but those are the important ones.
IOW, it's a tool that encapsulates processes that anyone with a google prompt could find in 5 minutes. I use it, and I'm installing it on customers' machines after explaining why I think it's necessary.
That said, I wish you luck maintaining a GNU/Linux machine WITHOUT third-party tools.

I used to trust the National Geographic, but since most of it was sold to R. Murdoch, I take anything from NG with a big grain of salt. Hang on, no - I just believe the opposite.
You're being selective. The plagues during the first half of the second millennium were estimated to have killed killed from 30% to 60% of the population of Europe+Asia. You're making it sound like it killed 90% - that was the death rate from people who caught it. The rest of the population either a. weren't exposed, or b. resistant.
I have NEVER found a FLOSS video production suite that works as well or as smoothly as Adobe's, and I've tried the half-dozen or so most-recommended packages listed on the forums.
There's much to complain about Adobe, and proprietary software in general, but calling it "just one way to organise your workflow" is simplistic. Film-making is pricey enough (and not rare), why would professional production companies spend even more $$$ on software like this unless it saves them money in the end?
It stopped being tempting when I found Live365, sadly now defunct. It took a while, searching the various stations, but I eventually settled on a list of about 15 "favourites". Occasionally I might look for something different, but it worked well for me, and I was happy to pay subscription for a number of years. In fact, I would've been happy to pay more - they charged about USD$75/year, and I would have been happy to double that, it was worth that much to me. Free of ads, and supporting artists.
Then the copyright review board decided to increase royalties, and remove the subsidy/sharing scheme available to small broadcasters, some of whom I listened to. The owner of one of my favourite stations told me his charges had risen 5-fold. So, Live365 died earlier this year, my "favourites" are now either defunct, or spread around different sites, e.g. radionomy, radiojar, spotify, AccuRadio, Tunein, Radio Tunes, and I would have to pay multiple subscriptions just to hear those stations again without ads.
Not gonna happen.
So, artists, now that you're getting zero revenue from Live365, instead of some (admittedly small) revenue, how do you feel about the CRB acting in your interests? Maybe you should seek another business model? Something, something, negotiate and licence your music directly to streaming services, maybe?
I'm not going to pay any more subscriptions until I can find a service with everything that I want, or nearly everything, under one roof.
On another matter - Dear internet broadcasters, you don't need more than the occasional station ID call. I know it's tradition, but the days of twiddling a radio tuner to find a signal are long gone. When I click on a link to listen to your station IT TELLS ME RIGHT THERE WHO I'M LISTENING TO! So stop telling me who you are every second track, it's actually off-putting, and makes me go somewhere else. Thank you.
The word was "server" - i.e. hardware. Without redundancy or top-class backups, seven year-old hardware is a big enough risk, even if it was running modern, fully-patched, fully-hardened/paranoid software.
Murdoch has a pretty good track record so far, of affecting voting patterns. His spin has worked miracles in the past - how do you think Abbott got elected, unless you concede that labor lost the election, rather than the LNP won it?
As to shambles, the Ruddllardrudd circus will be a casebook study in how not to run a government - their ill-considered policies resulted in deaths in the insulation scheme, memories of that don't fade quickly, and it's an easy way to whip up a frenzy - "remember the deaths under the insulation scheme? Do you want more of that?". Perfect tabloid fodder. People also don't tend to forget that level of division within a party, and it's an easy target for the other side - "look at them, they can't make up their mind, do they want Rudd or Gillard or Rudd!" (and now the prick wants their support to be UN Sec-Gen. Really?)
Relentless media assaults, and the diminishing returns therefrom, work both ways. Labor's shadow ministers are also pretty good at relentless media assault - it's not a clear advantage for either side.
I don't think the population is angry or aggrieved - as I said above, I haven't seen the divisiveness in this parliament that was present under Rudd, Gillard, or Abbott, and if the voters aren't angry, that'll favour the incumbents.
You're awfully confident that Murdoch won't repeat previous strategies. And, current poll results notwithstanding, memories of the Rudd/Gillard disasters are still fresh.
Turnbull may be losing popularity, but I haven't seen anything like the divisiveness we had under Abbott, Rudd, and to a lesser extent, Gillard. Both parties need that divisiveness to polarise the vote and keep the public rhetoric flowing, so they can concentrate on the swinging/undecided vote. If neither of them can whip up a frenzy, then the election will favour the incumbents.
Why couldn't/wouldn't the govt supply contract include requirements for special firmware/drivers? A manufacturer includes "yellow dot" routines, or phone home/remote update routines in its normal software, it wouldn't have to spend a lot of money removing that code for a customised "govt approved" firmware/driver package. Otherwise they miss out on lucrative govt supply contracts. All the other equipment is wiped/formatted when the lease is up, why couldn't a printer be given a firmware update before disposal?
I imagine the White House is swept regularly, and that any source not on the "approved" list would be quickly identified.
If it's your job to sweep the offices for bugs, you're going to pay special attention to anything electrical. That was my job, once and briefly in the 80s - pay special attention to the phone and fax, we were told. Update that to this century, and pay special attention to all the technology.
It's also possible that the White House has its own cell/s and anything trying to "call out" would have to go through those cells, or that nearby cells are programmed to not accept anything originating from that location. Triangulation is already used to locate you (roughly) via your phone. They might even use stingray-like technology to identify unauthorised devices.
They can - here in Oz there's a free test kit mailed out to everyone over 50 (55?) every couple of years.
You put this piece of paper in the toilet, do your business on it, swirl a swab through the turds, put the swab in a tube, seal the tube, mail it back, post paid. Oh, and flush the paper - it's designed to break down in the system.
It's a screening test for bowel cancer, and it's been effective enough for the govt to continue funding it.
All that poo in the post, no wonder Aus Post workers look grumpy.
There are lots of acceptable ads. If I choose to listen to the free version of some internet radio streaming sites, then I've consented to allow their ads through (I still don't listen to them). Most of them offer an ad-free stream if I subscribe, and I do subscribe to some of them. That, to me, is an acceptable business arrangement. They have something I want, it's got to to be paid for somehow, so I accept one or another arrangement. The internet is NOT free - if you want to host a vanity site and you're prepared to pay the cost, great. That's not for everyone.
OTOH, if your ads are fetched from multiple third parties, instead of served locally, then it's noscript, ghostery, and disconnect for you.
I guess the kernel shouldn't concern itself with user-land, but (not being a programmer), tell me, what will happen if a "don't-talk-to-systemd" routine is added to the kernel?
And tomorrow, I have to format and re-install Win 7 on a customer's computer because reverting to Win 7 from Win 10 (which he didn't consent to) left it unusable. 4 hours of "startup repair", BCDEDIT, etc, etc and it still won't boot.
I will not recommend Win 10 to anyone under any circumstances. MS has really dropped the ball this time.
I can't really recommend Mint, either. Debian + {Windows look-alike shell} seems to be pretty stable so far.
That's funny - all the twinax I dealt with was robust and heavy. Both cores embedded in a plastic envelope, shield, external plastic sheath, screw-on connectors with a locating lug so you could *only* connect them correctly.

Same for "how do I.....?" questions about almost anything. I now append -youtube for such queries.
I respond much better to clearly written instructions - blurry screen caps with a 3-pixel mouse DO NOT contribute to my understanding.

Except you keep getting upstaged by Australians.
Yes, I know you were being facetious.
Apropos your user ID.
It's called backwards compatibility.
