Mozilla has to generate enough revenue to continue developing their products somehow. It would be nice if donations were enough to cover those development costs but that simply isn't the case. Because of this the ad networks are a necessary "evil".

Just one more sail bro. I swear, we just need one more sail.
Meanwhile Windows regularly gets hung up for several minutes on the "shutting down..." screen for no fucking reason. Only happens when I'm in a hurry too.
I believe they created it before tap really took off in the US so scan was a better option for them at the time.
It's scan to pay at Walmart because they gave their own payment system called "Walmart pay" and it sucks.
That's it exactly. Most consumer camera gear uses H.264/H.265 for video and AAC for audio in an MP4 container and the free version of Davinci Resolve just doesn't support that on Linux. (But does on Windows)
Unfortunately the free version on Linux doesn't support H.264/H.265 and even the paid version doesn't support AAC so using Resolve requires you to transcode if you're using any normal consumer camera.
Do your friend a favor and install Windows back on his laptop for him.
Worth noting that the free version of Davinci Resolve doesn't support H.264/H.265 under Linux. You will need to use another format or pay for the full version. ($295)
I'd laugh if this wasn't affecting me directly.
