Description

One more step towards being a good dashcam.

Plug in to your computer, open file explorer, and drag any footage you want off.
* Can we make this work on Windows, macOS, and Linux without needing to install drivers?
* This unfortunately requires 2x cables like flashing, just inserted in the other order.
* Should we expose the whole `userdata` partition or just `realdata`?

There are some natural follow-ups to this, such as making the on-disk format match the good dashcams.
