Hello Bob!

The COW supports anonymity a little bit. We don’t research to find out if someone’s name is actually on their birth certificate and hold them to it. So if someone wants to fly under the radar as another “John Smith”, (of which we have 142!), we’re never gonna know the difference.

What separates Creative COW from other sites is the lack of silly, nonsensical, or even offensive user names, since we lean toward building a community of professionals. And this velvet rope really does seem to prevent a lot of poor behavior. We rarely have folks act obnoxiously, and it could very well come down to a psychological boundary that says “since I have to present myself as a human, I may as well act like a human.”

I do, however, acknowledge that we may also be preventing ourselves from deeper discussions that focus on personal issues.

But on the other hand, we don’t have problems that other sites do have. I know, for example, that if I visit a site like Reddit, I can expect to be dragged through the mud for every misstep and even for completely innocent questions and comments. You just expect people to be unhelpful, rude, and worse than rude, in the land of utter anonymity.

What’s important to remember on the anonymity front is that the COW doesn’t look terribly deeply into user’s identities beyond the fact that they “seem” to have a human name. We have never shared these identities or IP addresses or anything along those lines with outside sources, and we never will. What Google does and what AI does might be another story. But folks who visit the COW are free to do as they wish so long as, like I said, they appear and act like decent human beings.

I do feel very sorry for kids these days who will never see anonymity in their lifetime. I noticed when my granddaughter was born that probably the first thing she saw in this world was a phone in her face taking a picture that would be uploaded to Facebook. I thought: “Thus it begins. A life devoid of any privacy!”

Hello Ken! Via AJA, I’ve been advised the following regarding your question:

Unfortunately there is not a direct way of transferring data between 2 PAK media drives on the KPU-12G.

The reason is only one slot with PAK media is active (mounted) at any one time.

There is however a indirect way to transfer media, here are the steps to transfer clips from PAK 1 to PAK 2:

1. Use <SLOT> button to make sure PAK 1 is active (LED on PAK drive is active).
2. Using the Web UI Menu:

1. Go to Media -> Media State and set to DATA LAN (mode)
2. Go to Playlist-> All Clips
3. Checkbox all the clips to transfer
4. Click on Download (located just above the list of recorded clips)
