   @harshad You know," said Arthur, "it's at times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, and about to die of asphyxiation in deep space that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was young."

     I'm a nerd with 25+ yrs of working with cursed sand, my mother is someone who asks either of her sons to help with tech difficulties.

     After an hour of struggling, I expressed my frustration and the problem to her. She patiently listened to me and suggested taking the rendered video from DaVinci Resolve on Mac that wasn't recognised by YouTube app on Android, run it through my video editor on iPad (LumaFusion) and then transfer it to Android and try again.

     It worked! 🤯

     Really wish I had FreeBSD, ZFS and Boot Environments on all devices - incompetent/malicious software updates would have been a non issue in face of a full system rollback 😅

     It appears that using Tailscale to send files between devices is broken, the unrecognised files are 0 bytes in size 🤦♂️ used to work flawlessly before.

     I'm learning not to trust software updates because they break functionality more often than fix issues these days. Insta360 and Tailscale have both been a disappointment recently.

     Insta360's latest update gets GPS data all wrong.

     Example: https://youtube.com/shorts/Iu08i-IlHM0

     I'm standing still while the speedometer keeps going up? What?

     Haha, trying out advanced workflow for YouTube Shorts using Insta360 studio and DaVinci resolve on my Mac, and either:

     1. Exported video isn't playable on Android and YT app doesn't recognise it as video (but plays fine on Mac)
     2. Uploading from YT studio web app doesn't mark it as a Shorts video
     3. Uploading via DaVinci doesn't mark it as Shorts video

     How do people do this? 👀
