Although the film cameras and audio both have time codes captured now, they aren't a single file. Likely not even captured to the same storage. A lot of intake workflow that can probably be and already is automated in a traditional way, though.

Doesn't even need time code. FCP lines up the files by matching the audio, mostly, IIRC. Also AFAIK, digital cinematography is pretty much the norm at this point, so film likely doesn't factor in most of the time.

Godwin's law obviously has no modern relevance given that it was invented for USENET and that was effectively destroyed.

Now seriously though it never spoke to whether or not the comparisons to Hitler were apt, as that is situational, only that they would occur.

And sidebar, Mike Godwin explicitly stated that such a comparison is apt when it comes to der pedofuhrer. Just like to toss that in there.

Final Cut Pro can already basically do that, and has been able to do that for several years. Just create a multicam workflow and tell it to synchronize by audio. Not sure how well it works if you're dealing with hundreds of short takes though; I've only used it to line up hour-long continuous shots.

Then again, as cheap as storage is, I'm not sure why anybody actually stops the cameras and audio recorders anyway. If you want to have a private conversation, you can always step off the set and do it in a hallway or whatever.

What would really make them worth something is an easy upgrade path to an operating system that was still getting security updates.

Google, Apple, and the major phone vendors could score big PR points be extending security updates to 10 years on products introduced since 2016. In the long run PR points can translate into customer loyalty which can translate into "Step 4: PROFIIT!" in a non-sarcastic way.

The iPhone 6s (released in 2015) got a security update last month. So that's almost 11 years and counting.

There is no value to running SteamOS on your PC over some other distribution except simplicity. If you actually want to do non-game things with it you'll wind up installing enough additional packages to erase the benefit. If you want simplicity, you'll also buy a steam machine, so you don't have to figure out the PC.

Define "enough". Even 1 percent of the federal budget would be 74 *billion* dollars. The budget shortfall for road maintenance in the U.S. is about 86 billion, so even if it is only 1%, that money would be enough to almost completely fix a major problem that affects us all.
