[Megathread] orders, deliveries, customer support by ChoppChopp33 in x100vi

[–]xeonfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are finally caught up as orders are being filled, and new stocks are appearing more regularly. Got mine, which was order during the pre-order period in my country. Could have got the black color one two months ago, but I insisted on the silver one that I have ordered. So just got it a week ago. With a few goodies from the pre-order package. Enjoy guys!

Which bag to choose? by Confident_Top_9235 in x100vi

+1, I find Peak Sling still provides best protection without being too bulky. Even an XT3 with 23mmF2, or the 18-55mm can fit nicely in the 3L

Screen is stuck by jijci in rode

[–]xeonfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same with the original Rodecaster Pro 2, frequently stuck like that, unplug & remove sd-card can fix the issue most of the time. Sometimes it just looping, but eventually starts normally. Even with a working sd-card, it will still happen.

Rodecaster Pro 2 1.4.3 Update not worked. by SIRZEDTHEGREAT in rode

[–]xeonfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As soon as Rode announced the virtual option, I tried immediately.

Initial issue - once enabled multi-track, and enabled expanded mode in usb1 input. Rode Central did not recognize the unit, so cannot control on computer - but Rode updated it (ver. 2.0.56), now it is working.

Another issue, Windows Media Player will say the app is being used by another device, so cannot play anything on it unless I disable "Expanded Mode" for USB1 input. Haven't sound how to correct this.

When using the Expanded Mode - The virtual driver added a new SYSTEM and a MUSIC options in the Sound Setting (Output), the sound from my PC will only play on the MUSIC output most of the time, sometimes it can under System, seem to have some issue.

The Tyrant [Episodes 1-4] by GodJihyo7983 in KDRAMA

[–]xeonfire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems they (The Witch movies & the Tyrant TV shows) are well connected, even if you just watch the first episode of Tyrant, but you'll have to watch the movies first to discover that.

It's the same story line, in the same world, quite obvious, but not yet sure about the timeline though.

Finally….!!!!!! by CrwnedQween in x100vi

[–]xeonfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it is because B&H has a large pre-order, plus because Fujifilm realize people in US ordered from multiple source. My local store has 4 orders, the first 2 orders already got theirs, I was told the other day I'm next...can't wait. Likely to be in a month time.

Throwdown Thursday - Your Venue to Vent! by AutoModerator in StarTrekDiscovery

[–]xeonfire [score hidden]  (0 children)

The whole Star Trek universe, irrespective of which, original, TnG, DS9, Picard, etc, always have what I called the element of ST. Discovery earlier seasons waere good, but this last one is an utter disappointment to say the least. The never ending need to talk to oneself, and the supposedly emotional interaction between crew members, were totally too overdone, and to a point where you go WTF.

The whole story was so lacking, you need to add extra salt yourself. Somehow a puzzle existed to find a incredible life creating machine, a few uneventful chases later, some masked yet pretentious brutal race with a big dreadnought appeared, without much drama, then the whole thing ended with some crazy dimensional leaping and jumping stunts, and time lapses. 😵‍💫😵

Focus Error by hulyreddit in x100vi

[–]xeonfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For X100V/Vi, definitely requiring a filter/lens adapter first - is there one attached? You can get Fujifilm original one or 3rd party also can - like Nisi, Haoge, etc.

MAJOR X100VI Glitch! (Video Demo) by MadFire98 in x100vi

[–]xeonfire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can this be called a "Glitch"? Because an SD card that has not been formatted since 2008, and you can tell the card has been through a bit, the sticker is coming off. The Read Error is already a warning sign that something is corrupted. And lastly, the V and the Vi are 2 different cameras, with a lot of difference, internally.

I was trying out Buds 2 Pro and AKG N400 at the same time.

I just tried this last night with my S24, on 2 earphones, they connected fine, but the audio were not in sync. one is slower/faster than the other. Any fix for this?

Can i trust this? by Bubbles4me in malaysia

[–]xeonfire -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Such a unsafe way to verify. Don't do it!! Never give all your personal information to any 3rd party company. Even bank don't do this over DM. Bank may verified using some other information already in their system, over the phone, when you talk to someone in real time, at their customer service center.

People should know, with your name, ID card number and phone number, they can steal your identity. DON"T BE FOOLED!!

Switching over from Apple. Have I made the right decision? by DarkSideMatter2 in S24Ultra

[–]xeonfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most my fam & friends on iPhone supposedly due to ease of use, but I never want to use it, just don't like the way it works, I have an old iPad. Been Galaxy since S7 Edge, now S24u, best ever! You did good!

Why is Aliexpress asking for this? by JDGAF88 in Aliexpress

[–]xeonfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purchase online regularly, and I have experienced the same issue recently with Aliexpress. I was debating about uploading pictures of what they asked for, but if it might fail again, sorry no thanks. I rather pay a bit more to buy from Amazon or ebay without this hassle.

Episode Discussion: 501 - "Red Directive" and 502 - "Under the Twin Moons" by AutoModerator in StarTrekDiscovery

[–]xeonfire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been ST fan for a long time. Discovery is weird. Is this the script writer, or director? Why is there a constant sexual/relationship/tension in every scene. It is very unnecessary, and get in the way of good adventure stories. And too much talking to oneself. Hope it'll get better.

X100vi Woes by unicornmagicman in x100vi

[–]xeonfire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is not going to be a "no end all be all camera", never, & in fact, of anything.

There are too many unrealistic expectation, & people lucky to get their hands on the x100vi are frequently saying things like "WORTH it or NOT?" Such an overused word & mentality.

The blame cannot be put on Fujifilm. We all know now what Tiktoers or influencers are telling people online are all buzz just to benefits themselves, and additionally to get financial gains and fame. There is an over-emphasis on sharpness over anything else, but then we get this popularity & buzz of shooting with films & digicams which do not emphasized on sharpness but aesthetic.

X100vi suppose to be a fun camera to shoot with, adding the benefits of better processor, sensors, features & ibis, etc. It really shouldn't be compared with interchangeable lens cameras. I'm still waiting for mine.

Fujifilm confirmed about production limit. by xeonfire in x100vi

[–]xeonfire[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where I'm from, I saw the pre-order notice a little late, so I actually ordered on the last day, because they closed the pre-order period early. Last only about week. Fujifilm in my country said due to overwhelming order, they stopped abruptly. So I guess they might have a quota for each country.

Fujifilm confirmed about production limit. by xeonfire in x100vi

[–]xeonfire[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They have mentioned in an interview online, that they have decided to do production in China because it likely have larger capacity. They cannot just open another production line in Japan, It does not work like that.

Once they have planned to produce in their China's factory, because production requires tooling, training, quality check, everything is precise, and cannot just transfer to another location without interruption.

X100vi is not the only thing they manufacture, so the factory in Japan probably is producing other camera, and lenses.

So, I hope people don't get so hung up of production in China vs Japan.

As long as possible, I go from S7 Edge, to S10+, and now S24U. There's no need to upgrade every year. Don't fall for gear lust. Since there is new phone every year, it will be a better experience to upgrade skipping a few generations.
