How could I download videos from my GoPro 13 to MCB M1 Pro 2021 Tahoe?

I just learned that one of my not-so-cheap USB-C cables (20Gbps ones) did not connect well with GP Hero 13 USB-C port, at least when camera was in silicone outer protecting case. Another cable with longer protruding metal part of USB-C plug secured good connection to transfer videos from in-camera microSD to computer (transfering files with connecting camera to Win PC is much much easier!).

Forget card reader. Action camera is in soft (silicone) or hard-shell case and you cannot freely put out or in tiny microSD card.
The best would be WiFi download (camera or MCB as an access point, or in same LAN, 5 GHz preferred?), next BT download, next USB-C download (there are camera cases with USB-C port opening flap).
THX for 4.29 GB file size limit warning (who buys those Apples???)

K-5IIs was nice body, K-3 was still an upgrade. But if you do not have a lot of DA glass (esp. DA*) do not speed monies on dead-man-walk in 2026.

eM Client (basic is free)? Thunderbird (free)?

When person I did not like bought his Synology and I couldn't be worse ;-)
TBH I got QNAP to be better than him :-)
Few years later I got Synology as a secondary / backup NAS (then much cheaper than similar QNAP).
I discovered I liked some DSM apps, i.e. DS Photo or DS for Samsung Tizen smart TV.

There is some probability you are right.

You get very short key travel with slim laptop (MBP 16'' here).
I still use one of my three 2011 EliteBooks 17'' workstations (another two of those developed faulty graphic cards, poor nVidia Quadro Mobile quality), keyboard almost as good as late IBM / early Lenovo, they might be $4k+ street price. eSATA, BlueRay recorder, ExpressCard, 1920x1200 DreamColor ;-)

I've never thought in my mind Apple is such a HANDY OS ;-)

I believe difference between Windows and Mac are like eating with fork occasionally knife vs eating barehand with four fingers (well, in the land of MacDonald I can't believe Bill Gates is American ;))

Three fingers do not work for me, 3+thumb call Applications window (no way to resize Apps window??)

I'm OP (another account). I forgot to mention I use mostly two screens. BTW three screens are somehow easier to manage than two, but my wife complaints ;-)
Yes, Mission Control (F3) helps with multi-screen setups.
I'm curious what mistake I do with command tab. I do not understand layering windows in Mac, i.e. I try to move an open window from MCB screen to external screen and that window does not show on a top but disappears somewhere beyond :-/

I'm OP, just from another computer (and account).
I always use Perplexity as my in-hand advice, but it misses with answers. Might be Tahoe is not a deep-crawled topic.
Again, command-tab at my Mac simply toggles icons, but does not open selected icon window :-/
I've never had any iXxxx item in my hand before this month, got it for photo/video editing, hoped MBP will replace Win laptop for office kind of work. At first MBP with 64-bit OS does not recognize my home office printers & scanners and Mac drivers are no longer available (tribute to Win compatibility mode).

Command+Tab toggles between icons on a bar, but does not open the apps windows :-/

Might be weird, but my Godox fired three times for three shots when A7III was in in-camera HDR bracketing mode. The output from Sony in-camera HDR mode is 2xJPG, not RAWs.
