After 20 years someone finally found the original Morrocan creator behind the famous sample from a popular French-Moroccan song Thé à la menthe (used in movie Ocean's 12). It was Assi Al Halani. Was this fact already known by people in Morocco or not?

Song in question - La Caution - Thé à la Menthe - The Laser Dance Song

Artist claimed for a long time that he can't point to a single instrumentalist and that he used multiple songs. French reporters repeated this as a fact multiple times for 20 years:

What kind of processing power would it take to combine (in real time with reasonable delay) three cheap cam module outputs with different exposures into a single high dynamic range (HDR) stream?

First cam would capture underexposed images, second would be the default exposure and third would overexpose. Black, white, near-black and near-white areas would be treated as transparent and end result should be a tone-mapped high(er) dynamic range video.

Maybe a stupid question: What would be the cheapest way of using existing not-bottom-of-the-barrel 2.1 PC setup and adding additional rear channels from any old random speakers so that the result is a setup that plays 5.1 media fine?

Seems like something that should be possible in 2022 but maybe I'm mistaken and it's more hassle than it's worth for some reason? Any tip or opinion, however vaguely related is welcome!
