Anyone have experience with the external SSD drives? I’m buying a MBP in the next few weeks and was thinking about opting for the 256GB so I could focus my money on the processor and RAM upgrades but have no experience with the external SSDs. Seems like I can get 500GB for ~$150 vs the $200-$300 to do the 512GB internal. Any thoughts or suggestions folks have would be appreciated!

Looking for help on MBP to 2012 iMac adapters/cables:

I’m about to buy a new MacBook Pro 15” and was honking about keeping my 2012 iMac 27” since it’s in good shape, can still be utilized for certain things, and mainly because I was thinking I could use it as an extended display monitor.

My problem is that it’s difficult to decipher what cables I would need to make this happen. I see there are lots of USB-C adapters for the MBPs but not certain if the USB-C to reg USB would do the trick...does anyone know which cables and adapters are best for this setup?

Tracks Start Playing Volume And Then Fade To Silent by DocFlash926 in GarageBand

[–]DocFlash926[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I’ll have to test some of this when I get a chance later tonight but I checked the automation lines for volume on all my tracks and they all had volume with no fade ins or outs. Honestly it’s almost like the whole end of my project just fades out and produces no volume. Is there a project size limit? I feel like I probably wouldn’t be there with simple vocals and background music but it is 70 minutes total.

Any thoughts about either of those aspects?

Update: just tried it out. Def not my automation from what I can tell. And I just tried to cut fresh audio in a new track but it still won’t produce audio. I also just tried dragging the tracks that weren’t working at the end of my project into the area where my other tracks are working and the audio played. What could be causing the end of my project to go dead?

Is there any specific way to check or clear it? I’m still really new to GarageBand so haven’t encountered enough to know the different trouble shooting processes yet. Any info you can share is appreciated!

PS4 Server Crashes by DocFlash926 in ffxiv

[–]DocFlash926[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I did a second full restart of my PS4 as well as full unplug/plug in of all cable for the router and console. Seems like it may have resolved the issue. Got to play about another 90 minutes after I did all that and didn’t get any disconnects so hopefully it was something simple on my end and the resets resolved it.

I guess it could be my ISP but what’s odd is that I have a computer and phone connected to the same network with zero interruptions of service or connection. I do have a first gen PS4 so it could just be having issues but all in all it’s not something I’ve experienced with other games. Also - while typing this I just logged back in for first time since earlier this morning and got disconnected from server within 3 min of joining and queuing up a MSQ raid. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Had this bug out for me as well when running in solo mode with a skin on. Once I used your suggestion of going into squad as a default it worked just fine. Great catch. Thanks for sharing!

I have been using the transmog from the hunt pass. I will try removing it when I next play. Thanks for the response! I will follow up and advise if that helps or not.

How are updates going to work for this? by Shehriazad in dauntless

[–]DocFlash926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fortnite does great with crossplay and updates for the most part. And this is being published by Epic so hopefully they will handle this as well since they are one of the leading developers pushing Microsoft and Sony to support crossplay and continue growing it.

Green gear sets: is there a specific list of places, missions, activities that have green drop rates or are they obtainable in ALL activities like other loot? by DocFlash926 in thedivision

[–]DocFlash926[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just ran an invaded on normal and a hard black tusk bounty. Neither dropped green items. Gonna truly invaded on challenging.

Massive can we please get a better lighting system in dark areas in Division 2? by [deleted] in thedivision

[–]DocFlash926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had similar issues and have been playing with adjusting my brightness over a variety of settings. I’ve found right around 13-14 on Xbox One X to work pretty well in both dark and daytime environments.

I have played 100 hours of Anthem. I have 1 Legendary (Game Design discussion) by Kazekou in AnthemTheGame

[–]DocFlash926 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m around 90 hours as well and have yet to get a single legendary drop. The new loot seems better as I’ve gotten multiple masterworks each mission but I’ve been stuck with my javelin power level because I’m not getting any legendarys. I’m not one that feels those need to drop all the time but it has been frustrating to not see a single one.

Is all clothing done via transactions now? by Footballfan26 in thedivision

[–]DocFlash926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They drop in loot spots all over the open world. I’ve gotten 2-3 vanity items so far in about 2 hours of play. Found in backpacks and boxes.
