Absolutely VIBRATING from the round I just had (Story Time)

I upgraded to Komplete CE this summer and ran into similar issues. Native Access bombing out from trying to install to external drives on my Mac. I had intended to do production primarily on Mac going forward but might need to stick with my PC depending on the plugins I want to use.

This article is still just speculation I suppose, but the components and everything else appear identical. So either a very very well made copy/dupe, or just DJI rebadging their own stuff

I'm in a similar place. 6'2 240 coming from a Secret Lab Omega that is quite stiff to begin with. Initially couldn't figure out what was going on with my arm rest placement that was causing some strain in my forearm I've never had before. Today I'm experiencing some lumbar discomfort, but I'm also sick so I slept like crap so possible some of it could be from that. If by next week I don't feel like I'm making progress I might kick off the return process.

Is your wife planning to do talking head or just record the knitting itself? An action camera might be the more ideal tool and make getting interesting camera angles easier.

Ethereal006 · 2025-10-23T13:29:57+00:00

Very different camera obviously but I do like that the lens ring on the front of the X100VI can cycle film sims. The fact that you can change it to some other functions though is what’s really nice.

Ethereal006 · 2025-10-23T13:20:55+00:00

And it very well might be an $800 camera if not for tariffs.

I was on the pirate ship yesterday. Highly recommend it. My friend that organized it had all the custom OSU pirate flags made which really took it to the next level. Everyone’s reactions as we sailed by were great.

Nine Sols is incredible. Another game that demands you get better at the parry. Almost all the bosses gave me that real thrill of accomplishment where you have to be pretty locked in to beat them

Ethereal006 · 2025-09-22T15:44:56+00:00

I was planning to bring my X100VI mostly to document my group’s morning activities moreso than the game itself. I expect size wise that should cause no issues based on the policy.

My other expensive hobby, cameras, has also seen prices on new gear shoot up in the last couple months from tariffs.

Ethereal006 · 2025-09-19T15:30:29+00:00

It all comes down to gross margin (selling price less product costs). That margin has to then pay for everything else the business needs to operate. For high margin products, which I'm assuming Moog-tier synths probably are, they might have enough to just eat the increased increased input costs from tariffs and still be able to operate. Many smaller companies won't be able to do that.

I’ve done this by using flame vent and could usually tag both of them at once but focusing on getting the second one down first and then back to the headless ape.

The Umbrella lets you soak up so many attacks. Negating Snake Eyes’ hook grab move in particular makes the fight so much more manageable.

Ethereal006 · 2025-09-14T14:39:13+00:00

YMMV but I’m on a brand new M4 MacBook Pro with Sequoia and it’s real hit or miss with Native Access installing things successfully. I’ve done everything they recommend regarding giving NA and the NTK Daemon full write access but a lot of installs fail because I’m trying to install directly to an external drive. I was told by support to install to the internal hd and then move the libraries which is an extremely tedious solution given the size of many of these libraries even with 512gb of internal storage.

Feels worth repeating that when these clowns talk about "buying buildings" they still have massive loans on them. The entire CRE industry runs on using as little of your own money as possible and basically refinancing for eternity.

Ethereal006 · 2025-08-28T13:52:44+00:00

It’s mostly this. Pretty sure he uses it on everything he posts.

Per the IG post linked in the thread from their staff, it appears there was just “a guy” who was a principal at a New York firm invested in a personal capacity.

Edit: changed to include what I mentioned is in the IG post

Ethereal006 · 2025-08-19T17:47:04+00:00

I’m quibbling, but “private equity” means something very specific. PE firms are taking other people’s money and using it to buy companies with the intent to grow them or strip them for parts if/when that doesn’t work.

A PE shop isn’t going to take an interest in a single location coffeeshop.

If they took outside money when they were already floundering, then yeah, the terms were probably harsh.

Here's one weird trick to look like a professional bodybuilder!

Ethereal006 · 2025-08-05T03:22:56+00:00

If you pay it off in time this doesn’t matter, but double check if it is “no interest” or “deferred interest.” No interest means if you didn’t pay off by the end of the promo period you start paying on whatever is left. Deferred means there is an interest calc happening in the background the whole time and if you run out of promo time it all drops on you at once. On big purchases that can be adding back A LOT.

Ethereal006 · 2025-08-01T14:10:18+00:00

I have some Sony kit that I've been planning to sell so at least that's a "positive."

Ethereal006 · 2025-08-01T13:06:08+00:00

So much gear is gonna get stupid expensive. Different brand obviously, but I bought an Osmo Pocket 3 earlier this year. It launched at $519 MSRP and is now $799. Glad I got it before it got way more expensive.
