content: Quote from: wilfred on October 26, 2014, 06:19:12 amI have to edit it anyway so I know what I said, so almost all the work will already be done.What I've edited so far isn't so bad in terms of focus. The camera just hunts between me and the background a lot. Doesn't seem that bad.

content: I just edited the video, it's actually not too bad.No one is going tonotsubscribe to me because I accidentally shot some out of focus footage, especially if I explain so in a new intro.

content: I say "rant away!"...I just looked in Windows update and, yep, there's an update for FTDI.a) Does Microsoft know about this driver? It's on the official Windows update thingy so they're supposed to look at all the source code as part of WHQL testing before they sign it. Have they not pulled this driver from Windows update? That makes Microsoft guilty as well.I bought my FTDI devices on eBay so I have no idea what chips are on there, or any way of finding out. I only know they're working fine at the moment.

content: The focus thing was barely noticeable among all the arm waving.But did you really say "for all intensive purposes" at 20:11?
