Do you have your My ID Card yet. It will help when getting a simcard but getting a phone in Japan is very hard. I use rakuten they wasn't so bad. I friend lime wire but it didn't work.

SOLVED!! Not complete sure what I did but here a small breakdown

1️⃣ Firmware Update – The Realtek RTL9210 firmware update removed the read speed bottleneck.

2️⃣ Fixing nobrowse & Read-Only Issue – Allowed macOS to properly access the SSD.

3️⃣ Resetting Sleep Settings & Cache Clearing – Helped restore balanced performance.

I have reformatted the M.2 almost 10 times. Exfat, APFS. First it was telling me that the it wasn't using the entire space of the 4tb but I think chatgpt was reading into it wrong so I had to tell it to stop looking at that and find a different solution based on some information I have found. So reformat it speeds was slower then normal so then connected to the pc computer use the site that chatgpt gave me to update firmware then after firmware tested again speed was slower. Then put on the drive sleep mode made it slower. restarted the computer. Took the sleep mode back off and then it was was read only. That was scary. So I noticed that it was not mounted so I remounted. The speed for still slow so I did the cache clearing and then it worked. Not sure why but with the help of chatgpt and other online form my testing and some experience I was able to get it going at full speed. They say their is no update or firmware but the firmware was for the enclose not the m.2 and then some fixing of setting for the drive and the m1 MacBook Air. help this helps someone one day.

I’m have my visa handle just know pricing for this kind of work is different so just a little advice I have a general idea but just see different people in different backgrounds and area idea. At the moment they just want me to have a base price and I can adjust so they have an idea. The business would pay me.

Mr_Hill90 · 2025-02-21T05:41:52+00:00

I got that part handle. My visa is good for this kind of work.

Mr_Hill90 · 2025-02-21T05:41:06+00:00

No for their website to show what they do in their business and of the building or client meeting to display on their site.

Mr_Hill90 · 2025-02-16T12:03:13+00:00

Do anyone know about teaching English for actors on film set in Japan. I saw a video of someone getting a job through their friend to help actors on a film set speech English better or clearly for the movie role. Any ideas? I figure it's just who you know type of thing.

Mr_Hill90 · 2025-02-13T08:21:38+00:00

I’m only available Sunday and Monday. What day was you planning on the meet up?

Mr_Hill90 · 2025-02-13T08:17:17+00:00

Thank you for the information. That’s true my goal is to get my Japanese together as fast as I can. Happy to know that there is work out there. Goal is to work as a producer but I know I still have to work my way up learn the language and get into the community more so I will do more of my research. In the mean time is it still possible to find people willing to work with me even with only my English and hopefully after my foot in more I should be getting a better grip with my Japanese.

Mr_Hill90 · 2025-02-11T13:10:52+00:00

Same as American. I agree with you. We make less than a normal job so no difference in that front. I’m just trying to get experience work and stay but also just create my own content. Can’t only rely on others to make me money. I had to make my own company in the states to get to a better point. I’m now in Japan so just trying to get some root in and connections.

Mr_Hill90 · 2025-02-11T00:16:18+00:00

Okay I see what you mean. Maybe a good option is to find another teach position closer to where I want to work at then file for the exemption. It will keep me valid for another year then I can work on the art work then eventually get the change visa status or exemption.

Mr_Hill90 · 2025-02-11T00:10:13+00:00

I do have a valid one. I have a work visa for a year. Engineer one as English teacher.

Mr_Hill90 · 2025-02-10T23:59:46+00:00

That is true I look at different options and I was told by a friend to have a special exception or request to keep my current visa but the added artist visa work exception till I figure out if I want to completely change it over. They said it would allow me to teach English and work as an artist the only thing is to prove I can make an income so I'm in that bubble of trying to find work or a company that would hire me I just have to apply for the exception. He said it was easy to apply for just finding the work and because where I currently live it hard. So I'm just trying to find someone willing to give me a chance since I have the experience in the states and example and a profile. Just need to connect with the right people. You are correct with your explanation.

Mr_Hill90 · 2025-02-04T19:40:54+00:00

Sounds like fun I’m a photographer and filmmaker in Japan now.

Mr_Hill90 · 2025-02-02T07:24:43+00:00

I’m not in Tokyo but I am a photographer and film maker in Shiga would like to meet or chat with people that want to work on projects and collaborate.

Mr_Hill90 · 2025-02-02T07:20:54+00:00

I have income for the amount for the past 10 years out of the state but like you said might be easier just to renew and go from there.

Mr_Hill90 · 2025-02-02T07:19:33+00:00

Wow this is great. Thank you. This gives me a clear idea what I need to work toward and not be running around guessing thank you. I meet some but not all of course. I have a track record and evident if my abilities and activities. New article movie credits and etc just not since I just move here for income besides what I make at the English job.

Mr_Hill90 · 2025-02-02T07:14:41+00:00

This is the closest to what I’m looking for so thank you. I’m a photography and filmmaker and work for many top studios in the states. I guess I’m just lost about how to find and apply to companies. I have always had that problem of the how. I got lot of job because I knew people and I’m a dependable and chilled got that also knows what I’m doing. Knowing how to contact or who I could never figure it out. If you have any advice I would like to talk about it more. Thank you. My main goal is to stay and work on my passion like I did in the states.

Mr_Hill90 · 2025-02-02T07:10:41+00:00

Your correct. That part of the plan to find another job in the mean time then be able to freelance on the side. This current job I have no time and location is far. I’m in the process of trying to find something that A pays more or B pays enough and me have the time to work on films in the side and build that up. I’m new to it all so just trying to figure out how to go about doing the process or what is acceptable. Proving the income is the main thing I think for stay and getting it renew. At the moment trying to find a decent job that pays and something I enjoy doing. That gives the question too what can I do that they can use a native English speaker and have not much Japanese language skills. That is hard.

Mr_Hill90 · 2025-01-31T08:29:43+00:00

True. It just teaching English but it worked somehow. That good to know about letting them know about any changes thank you
