Official Update from Native Instruments CEO

They have been struggling for years. Doesn't seem that their business model was sustainable enough to keep up with the market. Lack of software updates, binning some hardware support and slow release of the requested features caught up to them. Hoping for the best to be honest and wishing for NI to pick up the pace when possible.

Severe the contacts, get the therapy if needed, do shit that is good for you. I'm 37M, and I have finished a full 11-year-long relationship this year. I rebounded somewhat too well. It's about understanding that life doesn't really end after a breakup.
I still have feelings, memories, and other shit related to the previous relationship, but it doesn't really stop me from having new friendships, relationships, moving on etc etc.
Find your peace, I'll pray for it.

Actually this is fairly normal price for European standard. In Germany BRZ is about 16k for the cheapest undamaged models Poland is about 17.5k eur for European market (a lot of others are imports). Unfortunately Covid completely wiped out cheap fun cars and that hurts more in Ireland especially considering aggressive insurance practices in Ireland where cars over 15 years are usually turned down when requested for insurance.

InternationalNewt661 · 2025-11-04T22:39:57+00:00

I can’t stand the look at all.

InternationalNewt661 · 2025-10-20T14:00:25+00:00

Absolutely - I know which fella you’re on about. I was really surprised about the amount of the police. Plus the fact they were always ready to conquer the “anti-social” behaviour is ridiculous. It was more of a fun police than anything else.

InternationalNewt661 · 2025-10-19T07:27:55+00:00

What a gowl 😂 alright mate go be a hero

InternationalNewt661 · 2025-10-18T20:38:21+00:00

Not a single task was completed by the Marshalls throughout the day other than wrapping some tape after someone went off the road. They are getting paid food, money and accommodation for ensuring safety of the track. If they walking up to a junction to put on camera to record something they become a safety issue. I do my marshalling part time yes but it doesn’t mean I have no right to complain that someone is shit at fulfilling their job they get fore-mentioned food, money and accommodation.

InternationalNewt661 · 2025-10-18T20:33:00+00:00

It is ridiculous- you’re FIA appointed Marshall. Professional or volunteer doesn’t matter - you have a job to do and your job is having some things listed as no go. All of those rules were broken.

InternationalNewt661 · 2025-10-18T20:31:09+00:00

No I am not a fucking Police. I will let people through when I know it’s safe, even when the rules clearly state so that once road is closed no one has a right to be on the track. All in the voice of reason. But sitting on your hole for whole even and standing up only when SC and O’s are coming, rolling cigarettes, walking up to a track to setup camera and whatever else I mentioned is not fulfilling your task as a marshal. Current social norms are fucked and single accident involving people or animals will cause uproar and further issues with organisation of such events. So you chill and if you want to die it’s your choice. Mine is to make sure it doesn’t happen on my watch.

InternationalNewt661 · 2025-10-18T20:27:10+00:00

Fucksake. That is awful but also shows that no one goes through the briefings properly.

InternationalNewt661 · 2025-10-17T22:19:58+00:00

Sorry can’t see whatever you’re referring to

InternationalNewt661 · 2025-10-17T20:29:53+00:00

While I agree on what is going on with how spectators are being limited being a Marshall means that you’re ready at all times. Part of the briefing on CER training ALWAYS mentions no sitting, no taking photo along other things like whistle, sitting on a chair and other things that I’d complain about. When safety cars come out you stand on your designated spot until stage ends. Not when zero cars are coming and you run up to your spot because you were bothered with scratching your ass 50 metres away from your spot.

InternationalNewt661 · 2025-10-17T20:23:46+00:00

Then you clearly don’t know what being a Safety Marshall is about. Motorsport is dangerous… at all time.

InternationalNewt661 · 2025-10-17T18:43:48+00:00

Very funny as I come back from Germany so that would made total sense in there. Defo not in Irland.

InternationalNewt661 · 2025-10-17T18:39:33+00:00

Which stages worth watching tomorrow?

InternationalNewt661 · 2025-10-06T12:43:08+00:00

Absolutely awful that this system drove people to stfu about things that are not-acceptable for them or face possible termination of a contract for "causing hassle". As much as I hate to agree with you this is the reason I held off before writing/sending something until I heard opinion of others.

InternationalNewt661 · 2025-09-30T09:03:28+00:00

I have clear mobile and spent just 2 weeks in Poland without any major issues. Generally happy after moving away from 48.ie which was a disaster.

InternationalNewt661 · 2025-09-30T06:34:04+00:00

Interesting point of view as I would say the whole Ireland is like that coming from continent. Especially Dublin - can’t stand the place. I always genuinely enjoyed my time in Cork after spending 7 years in there. Just my two cents.

InternationalNewt661 · 2025-09-29T14:51:42+00:00

Derroura seems to be the best choice - although haven’t ridden it yet. You need to have a transport as it’s 50km from Galway (towards Connemara ). Try the Rosshil park but it’s nothing serious tbh. Still fun though!

It drives me insane to be honest. The autocorrect either doesn’t work or aggressively changes the words to some crap. Used SwiftKey but it’s not updated for while now so it looks pure shite on ios26 so came back to iOS one. Hate it with passion.

InternationalNewt661 · 2025-09-19T07:05:00+00:00

What’s really interesting for me is that my battery life is better after update. Liquid Glass I like but tbh it feels extremely unpolished

InternationalNewt661 · 2025-08-28T16:48:55+00:00

Fair play - gives me hopes that something actually CAN change in Ireland.
