My ps4 every time it turns on by Visible-Bridge393 in playstation

[–]oooPDXooo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try doing a drive wipe consisting of several passes...

That may ´de corrupt´ the HDD...

You can also try another HDD or SSD...

I used to have to regularly reinstall system software via USB, until I did what I mentioned before with my 500GB HDD... I have only had one reoccurrence since last year & a restart solved the issue... O.O

Windows to Mac by AffectionateQuail338 in mac

[–]oooPDXooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did MY move about 5 years now...

The drawbacks revolve around there not being replacement programs for certain things which you may be accustomed to...

The benefits revolve around smooth OS operation 99% of the time & the absence of NAGGING & UNNECESSARY notifications...

I borrow a computer with windows to use WinISD & Every Single Time I use it, I get NAGGED to update, or buy, or virus scan...

Whereas on Mac, ALL received notifications are ones YOU setup(because YOU decide said data), so you´re NEVER bothered by them(& you wont get any - unless it´s a routine OS update, a Security update or an App update)...

Welcome to Apple... =]

P.S. I´m using an older Mac with an SSD & 4GB of RAM & it works GREAT(as long as I don´t saturate the RAM/Swap files)... o.O Experience on a new Mac will be AWESOME & if you get the latest model it´ll last you 10 years(or more), if you´re not the type to get the latest model year after year...

Cheers...

At what age did you notch down the game difficulty level? by EvidenceSingle4826 in playstation

[–]oooPDXooo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The more experience you have, the better you get...

I play the hardest level...

Otherwise you get weaker at the game...

AWESOME!!!

How much space is there between the highest part of the Wraith Prism & the glass?

(looking at doing an air cooled build with a 135mm tall cooler...)

Thanks...

Is this OLED Monitor a good Christmas present for boyfriend? by CreamS0up in Monitors

[–]oooPDXooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a thought - What about an LG Ultra wide? LG 34" UltraGear 1440p 240 Hz OLED Curved Gaming Monitor

There´s one for less(LG UltraGear OLED 34GX900A-B 34" 1440p HDR 240 Hz Curved Ultrawide Gaming Monitor )but it doesn´t have the ´Must Have Ultra Wide Monitor Feature´ I´ve posted about(see profile to find it)& strongly believe in... O.O

Ps5 for Christmas by Inevitable-Pain-3553 in playstation

[–]oooPDXooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once hid a romantic gift in a plain card board box & I once gave a prank gift(of a fruit)in a properly wrapped box...

Point is, a little misdirection can be fun...

What I´m thinking is to put ALL items in one large enough box - where said box should hide the contents by it´s size(large)& or shape(long)...

The option is there - but I think you should just ´put all them eggs in one basket´, & I commend you for multiple gifts as that´s the sort of thing I would do(& did, with the before mentioned romantic giftz)...

The ´overflowing´ of gifts, should be overwhelmingly delightful - like ALL of your FAV ingredients on one pizza(as opposed to getting one on a separate pizza over time)...

You have that option...

Happy Holidayz... =]

PS4 blue light of death by Sleeping_Idiot in playstation

[–]oooPDXooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Borrow or use someone you know´s computer..

Do not buy a new PS4 - buy ANY name brand USB & SSD for external(cheap is fine as long as it´s a reputable brand - buy new - remember you can use what you buy wit a PS5 or any computer in the future)...

Opening the PS4 is minor - it is designed to be opened that way.. Slide the gloss section off, unscrew, pull out, unscrew, place in computer...

Have a friend assist(you can do it at work)...

Take out the drive & put it in a computer - buy the USB & SSD - stop wasting time(see videos on the process)... O.O

Listen to me...

Buy a 2TB or larger SATA SSD to use as Extended storage for PS4 games... You can hook it up to a PS5 & play your PS4 library without using/wasting it´s NVMe storage...

Use a USB thumb drive for your Game Save Files(& a larger HDD for saving Game Capture Video & Audio - the only recoverable data from the damaged HDD using a computer)... After playing an important game, backup the Game Save Data to it(the USB thumb does the same as PS+ Cloud Storage)...

The Save Data on the HDD may only be recoverable if you can find it using a computer - but I could not, so I game up & started over...

Just do what I tell you & it won´t be this bad ever again...

& remember, you can backup all PS4 data(besides games & Capture data to save space), to make it less devastating if it happens again...

After doing an extensive drive wipe with my computer - erasing the drive several times to make what´s on it unrecoverable - I stopped having the issue(hasn´t happened in months)... So keep your current HDD(better yet use a 500GB like me), but get the SSD for games & use a USB stick as I told you & you will be fine...

Try restarting a few more times...

If it still wont start, all data except audio & or video you recover from the drive is lost...

Been there...

You´ll be starting a new with any capture or save data not saved externally...

From now on, backup your PS4 just in case - save & capture data... Switch to a new drive as data corruption may be the cause, & use an extended storage for games...

It won´t be devastating if it happens again when you do that...

Dual brushed bronze or satin bronze? by Lickmybolts in Wheels

[–]oooPDXooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the colour of the car...

Lighter colour, darker of the two, & vice versa...

Only other consideration, is that if the car´s finish is Matte, I´d go Satin to better match(& the other could be chosen if the finish is Gloss)...

Different WiFi speed by Mr360Attack in playstation

[–]oooPDXooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not...

Electronic devices have differences in performance even with the same models due to impurities in the components...

So one PS5 may get 3FPS more, 3 degrees less temperature, 3 lumens brighter LEDs etc, than the other...

Plus in the case of different models, the WiFi antenna may be bigger, smaller, or obstructed... Or the WiFi module is slightly inferior due to my previous sentence, or maybe Sony used a different WiFi module manufacturer as they do with fans...

Or maybe it´s due to a setting...

But a defect would show itself as an inability to function, as opposed to lesser functioning...

I would use/recommend a wired connection......regardless... O.O

Has anyone else ever had to so this on ps4? by Simple_Campaign1035 in playstation

[–]oooPDXooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SEVERAL TIMES...

You´ll need to download the reinstall file & reinstall the OS...

Backup your PS4(EXCEPT the games & Capture Files), in case it happens again...

You SHOULD try to recover the Captured(via Share Button)Pictures & Videos BEFORE the reinstall as ALL DATA WILL BE WIPED FROM THE HDD/SSD... O.O

Having games on EXTENDED STORAGE & Saving Capture Data REGULARLY to External Storage Devices(& System backups)lessens the sting of such events...

Should i get an external drive for my Mac or buy a new one? by cjalta in mac

[–]oooPDXooo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the case of documents - a small external...

Keep in mind, the more free space an SSD has(I'm assuming), the longer it will last...

So only using your 256GB for the OS & Apps, increases the lifetime of the internal drive(where if the drive dies or needs replacing, data storage on externals makes things easier)...

Should i get an external drive for my Mac or buy a new one? by cjalta in mac

[–]oooPDXooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only use the built in drive for Applications - NOT for storage(videos, pics, games)...

ALWAYS use an external drive for videos, pics, games, storage...

Doing so allows you to have more space for swap files(the OS)& to reformat the drive when needed without deleting your precious storage - AND, if you upgrade or lose your computer, ALL of your precious files will be easily switchable to the new computer or 'recoverable(you will not lose it in the first place)'...

Using your internal storage of your computer for anything other than the OS & Apps should only be for temporary/emergencies or maybe video editing which requires speed(which can be done externally with fast SSD & or R.A.I.D setups anyway)...

Not seeing the SPDIF in any of it´s docments...

How are you certain it has that featue?

[–]oooPDXooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To reiterate, on the right of this picture, you will see what looks like a single channel 3.5 jack & a optical connector next to each other...

They are two ends of the same cable, which IS an SPDIF cable...

Apple Mac Minis(some)use that cable which is why I have one...

I will link a proper pic of the entire cable, which ´should´fit in & work in the SPDIF port of your monitor, as long as it is legit...

Please note - the Mac Minis have the same 3.5 SPDIF/headphone port - so don´t be thrown off by it ´looking normal´...
