Good riddance, GoPro squandered their market lead for many years and shipped bafflingly mediocre software that seemed to add more bugs with every generation.

I hope Insta360, DJI, and many more competitors spring up out of their ashes. Assuming fast microsd cards for writes, how much DDR RAM do they really need to buffer videos during recording? 4gb? 8gb?

Yeah, I've heard a lot of bad stuff about GoPro, and most of the GoPro footage I've seen has been pretty shitty in my opinion, so I've never thought about getting one.

Americans slowly discovering this isn't the 80s anymore and that China is beating them at their own game, delightful

GoPro has been squandering their lead for like 15 years.

		I feel like I heard this same rumor a decade+ ago. Not a rumor when announced on a public market, but it's not the first time they've been perceived as a precarious has-been.

> US Ai schizophrenia

I bought an Insta360 before the AI mania because the software was simpler, price cheaper and reviews around build quality more positive.
