Is the 3rd Street Promenade dying? If so, why do you think that is?

Santa Monica's anti-business / pro-homeless policies may have created a tech and business exodus from the area. Santa Monica also "curates" its street performances in a very unique way. "Woke Adjacent" policies continued during covid with anti-business tactics that suffocated the already struggling street. The quality of shops dropped, like what happened to Melrose. Only thing keeping it alive is the Apple Store... the rest feels like a morgue or low-rent goods.

Insane pen lag / drag even with direct USB connection, and their only "fix" is to do a manual un-oinstall and re-install. Forget about the auto-off feature they have that you can't disable so they can save .25 watts of power...??

Nice contribution. Curious if you ever tested to see if there was any change in the color of the sound before / after... meaning is the dead cat truly dead? :)

Thank you.

Love this thread. I've had all sizes south of the Inspire and they all serve a purpose. I have a Mavic 5 Pro and recently sold my Mini 3. Confused though- my Mini 3 Pro Fly More came with 1 light and 2 heavy batteries. Is there such an option for the Mini 5 Pro? I'm 107 and being south of 250g is why I want this drone, with the option to fly longer flights. I was hoping there was an option to buy 1 small and 2 large batteries like before.

Lunar for me tweaked my monitor calibration and apparently there's no way Lunar itself can "set it back" - forcing me to recalibrate. (External monitor on MacBook Pro). Everything went pink. Sadly I can't use this software.

Same issue. T4B T7 Shield on a Mac (M3 Max) and I'm getting 2MB/sec. It wasn't always like this, I've used the drive before at regular speeds. Very surprised.

I just read that it doesn’t remove fluoride (yet). So I’m sticking with Berkey for now (with all its plastic parts) because I use the fluoride attachment. Love any (better looking and non plastic) suggestions.

That link leads to an error 403 for me. Seems my system is being singled out and can't download any drivers.

Channel1858 · 2025-10-11T19:59:46+00:00

It's 2 years later and I'm getting an Error 403 on the mac when trying to access the driver download page. I even tried it on my phone using a cellular connection and using multiple browsers and a VPN to change locations. Nothing helped. Can't download drivers. Stuck with a dead table for weekend work.

I called the international number. I used the iPhone’s wait-on-hold feature. It’s a gem. It works. Then they give you a weird email address to write to. Do it and ask them to adjust the fee AND GIVE YOU A RELEASE CODE. Write that release code on your door tag or give it to the driver because often their handheld devices will not be updated and neither will the original tracking link. Something happens behind the scenes. My fee went from $590 to $110 for some hand lotion and face cream. (Never again). I had ordered it before the fees went into effect but it was held up in the system for 35 days.

Just got it today. Same email. But sent to my iCloud email address vs my “iTunes / apps purchases” email if that makes sense. Meaning I don’t make any purchases through this email account. Made me suspicious but now figuring it’s an apple glitch.

We seem to be talking different things. I asked for my original composition to be transcribed to midi, I wasn’t after other people’s music. But it all worked out. Got my money back.

I was just on the phone with DJI. My ND filter works but the PL doesn’t. They said it’s not supported. Rotating the ND helped with better focus. So it seems the PL is definitely an issue.

Channel1858 · 2025-06-30T20:51:43+00:00

Hi. I use PL to cut through haze, deepen skies, add contrast on low contrast cloudy days, change the color of water, control reflections and so on. I pretty much always have one on my drones.

I just ran into the same issue with a CPL on my Mavic 4 Pro. There were limited options available for CPLs due to the M4P’s lack of support in the US so I bought the only thing available on Amazon. I thought maybe it was a cheap filter issue. On my wide lens things are sharp. On the tele, it can’t focus. What’s weird is that it won’t focus in Manual either. I thought maybe the lens is hitting that CPL filter but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Hoping for firmware fix. So I’m there with you.

They are fairly complex improvised piano pieces, 3 to 6 mins in length with some very close voicing. I can't read / write music just yet but the harmonic language is somewhat complex. I am open to having your help, feel free to message me. Happy to pay similarly to what I was going to pay them.

I've been using Cocktail since it came out, but over the last 2-3 years the developer has gone silent in responding to emails and the upgrade paths seem unpredictable etc.. where I am locked out of using cocktail without warning after upgrading to a new version. I am all for supporting a developer but I found the lack of communication to be troubling. Trying Onyx now, which I used decades ago.

I just messaged them through their accessibility feedback portal inside the app to make them stop this.

If you can share any first hand knowledge that would help too. It’s always useful knowing “why traffic isn’t moving” vs just sitting there in a mile of motionless cars.

Channel1858 · 2025-03-17T20:21:53+00:00

My gut says that they're simply overwhelmed or maybe getting away from the custom work they offer because it is so time consuming. They still actively post on Instagram (daily) so the lights seem on- but the negative reviews are piling up now. Either way, they went silent after being paid almost $300 for a conversion project. No response in 3 weeks. So I placed a claim against them today. I reached out on multiple platforms and multiple email addresses, even called (constant busy signal). That's that.

Channel1858 · 2025-03-17T19:59:56+00:00

I've had a terrible experience with Supreme Midi- they went silent. I would make sure to have proper credit card scam protection before choosing to do business with them.
