This is just sad. Defeating a warning is not solving the problem. If I broke the seat belt warning in my car, does that mean I'm now safe not wearing one?
So, so tired of all these fools who know nothing about electronics components, cooling, or firmware. More sick of those repeating it for web profit. These people are only looking for clicks and refuse to accept the camera as designed. Not a shred of engineering experience among them apparently.
Every armchair fool has the solution or knows better than a dedicated team of engineers. Seems to be the world today- just having an opinion is somehow permission to deny logic or facts. Start with a baseless emotional premise and shout the loudest.
Let's take another example, a fold out knife with safety. If some idiot thinks the safety is limiting and defeats it then calls that a solution, when they get cut is it the manufacturer at fault?
Defeating the overheating limit is not a solution, it is bypassing design limits. Only the fool crowd who refuses to understand even the basics of physics or engineering thinks everything in the world can be solved with a couple lines of software or that they are some victim being cheated even if they don't own this product. They think infinite capability is possible and owed to them in a tiny camera for less. Why aren't these idiots bashing gopro or anyone else for their limitations? Once people latch on to a trend or emotion they never let logic in.
The guy is not trying to solve the problem, nor does he suggest it as being a solution. All he is trying to provide is the possible proof, that there might be an artificial timer used, instead of the thermal read-out.
You are too bold to mark all internet being just armchair fools. Many ppl might have some technical backgroud. E.g. I am an IT guy for 30 years, we have built Astro CCD camera, doing the HW, firmware, software and all that.
While I don't feel competent enough to judge the current situation, I would not downplay other's experience. There is definitely something fishy here, like sitting in menu for one hour, doing few pics and not getting even a 1sec of a 4K HQ video, measuring 43C temperature, whereas getting to 63C during the 8K video and getting 20 minutes of the shooting time from the cold start.
The problem might not be the limitation of the lenght of particular video modes, those got advertised, but weird cool down times, most probably not being based upon a temperature reading or not a temperature reading alone (the timer stuff). Simply put - noone wants to use camera for stills in a lightly manner for cca half to one hour, and get zeroed on the 4K HQ video capability.
