I'll bet the guy who was driving along when it happened had to make judicious use of cleaning materials.

This doesn't exactly look like a busy 4-lane highway to me...I'd say it would've been dumb luck if there was anyone around at all when it did happen.

Out in the sticks, here, families have owned the land either side of each road for well over a thousand years, and they don't like giving up even a few inches, so many of the roads, even busy ones, are pretty much the same width as they were when horses were the height of travelling technology.
In the town where I live, only one main road has been made wide enough for two cars (or one car and a tractor) to pass each other comfortably.

My main point wasn't focused around the road's width; it was about the likelihood that anyone was around when that tree twig fell.
I've lived out in the sticks myself all my life, and I'd say I'm more likely to see a dumb deer jump in front of my car than see a tree fall on a road.

That looks like a bike path to me. For what it's worth, I've been riding a couple of times when a storm blew up, and had parts of trees fall nearby; can be a bit scary.

In Friesland, that's almost a highway.
I couldn't see any bruising or scraping, down the fork of the tree, so it must have fallen pretty precisely into the 'V'. It probably would have been fun to watch, but I'm glad I went there "after the effect", so to speak.

I swear this is true:
Years ago there was a tree in a nearby forest with a hole in it (many feet off the ground), and we knew there was a family of raccoons living in there.
One day I'm guessing a raccoon lost its footing just as he was getting in, and must've caught his neck in the bottom part of the hole, and the weight of his body must've pulled him down enough that he got strangled right there and then. He hung there for months. Eventually, there was a raccoon's skeleton at the bottom of the tree, but the head had probably fallen inside the hole as it was nowhere to be found...
I thought nature was exceptionally cruel to this little guy.

It's all about guaranteeing the quality of the slurped data that they hand over to the feds.
Your safest bet is to forget it, and find a third-party solution.

Just consider yourself lucky you even found a download link. I can't seem to find downloads for anything Microsoft related these days. Always just seems to redirect to some page about the software or some other unrelated page (regardless or being signed in or otherwise)

I know... I found a collection of old MSDN Magazines... a big % of the links were broken, luckily for me, tiping the "correct" link manually still found most of them, but there are issues where no example to be found (at least all my tries were unsuccessful)

I wanted to donwload Movie Maker 2012 (included in Microsoft Essentials), but the almost 1 hour I tried to find it only came out with it was deleted and sorted out in 2017 (I lastly installed it in 2016).
Then I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt and give a try to MovieMaker 10 (its new option). There is when I got that.
Now I say... screw you, MS

Looks a bit overengineered for what I want, I don't need fancy things, just want to cut and save as...
But seeing the other things I am finding... I'll give it a try. Thank you

Shotcut[^] looks a bit complicated, but it's dead easy to use.

AviDemux? Despite the name, it supports more than just .AVI files.
There's a slider control - set point A and point B, make sure Audio and Video are set to Copy (so it doesn't re-encode anything), Save. That should get you there.
It can do a lot more (add all sorts of filters, for example) but just for simple trimming purposes, I haven't found anything more straightforward.

I thought they put a watermark in the free version

I've never seen an AviDemux watermark in the years I've been using it. Besides, that would only be possible when re-encoding video, not when making a straight copy.

Then I am surely mixing names.... I have tested one, that did the waternmark when cutting (I suppose he reencoded, because it was pretty slow)
I'll give a try. Thank you.

That's actually one of the reasons why mickeysoft can like me edgewise.
I don't want to marry them.
I don't want to join their happy family.
I don't want to join a cult.
And I also got drafted twice (the first and the last time), got an honorable discharge, so that's also done.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

I have been really wanting to give them a try with Windows 10 and so on (and I don't want to start changing all PCs of the family / relatives to Linux, since I am the techie here).
But this and the force register / log in with new installations of 1909... they are really pissing me off.
I am really starting to think it will be easier to get a Linux OS for "safety needed surfing" (mail, banking and bit more) things and one or two VM with Win 7. One for offline things with "must be windows" software, and the other for the rest that get automatically deleted and new copied every few days.
