My understanding is there are a lot of people out there for whom driving a car
from the mid-20th century is an oddity, a curiosity, or a life experience they
can't relate to. It's hard to capture what the actual experience is like in

Transferring files off of most cameras to a Linux computer isn't all that
-difficult. Normally I can rip out the SD card and transfer files or just use a
-USB data transfer of some kind. The exception is my GoPro Hero 4 Black. For 4th
-of July week I took a bunch of video with the GoPro, approximately 20 MP4
-files, about 3GB each. The annoying thing about the GoPros USB interface is
-you need an app to download everything this way. The camera doesn't just show
-up as a USB device that you can mount. The GoPro does have a micro-SD card but
-I'm away from home and didn't have any dongles or adapters.
-
-The solution? GoPro cameras, after the Hero 3, can open up an ad-hoc wireless
-network that lets you browse the GoPro's onboard files through an HTTP server.
-This means you can open your browser and scroll through the files on the camera
-at a intranet address, `10.5.5.9`, and download them one by one. Well if you
-have like two dozen videos on there it kinda sucks.
-
-> *Smiles warmly*

-So, I opened up the manual for `wget`. I'm sure you could get really fancy with
-some of the options but the only thing I cared about was downloading every
-single MP4 video off of the camera, automatically. I did not want to download
-any of the small video formats or actual HTML files. So here's what I did:

Today I received a text message from a local mechanic/auto shop asking me to
leave them a Google review. It was an automated message from a shop that I know
well and have used many times in the past. Unfortunately, I have had several
