A+ Cert in IT is fairly basic and isn’t all that useful besides a general overview of some aspects of the field. However, the most valuable portion of the cert is on troubleshooting methodology and that carries you through the rest of your career. It’s pretty common in a nutshell, try known fixes to previous issues first, then work from simple solutions (check power/cable connections, reboot, etc) to more complex solutions (reformat disk, clean wipe, etc).
The amount of times I’ve been on a million dollar salary engineering troubleshooting call and things like “checking that the credentials are working” get skipped in favor of looking for an issue in a newly written script is hilarious and happens far too frequently.
It’s not that simple solution are necessarily the most likely but that you can rule them out quickly.
It’s a skill like you say, just funny how that cert always comes to mind (it’s the entry level cert for IT for people not familiar).
Best guitar solo of all time helps too
Yeah wtf is OP smoking their last album was one of my favs of the year
Sometimes having those privacy extensions make you a lot easier to fingerprint.
They should call Drift Souls, Elden Nurburgring or Sekivroom
Yeah both those games are better than anything recent, still amazed we haven’t gotten a proper remake of KOTOR yet tbh. Easily one of the best Star Wars stories in any medium and that whole era could be its own movie saga.
It’s a good game. If you’re gonna copy, do it well and they did. Probably the best SW games in a long time and the combat system works really well with it. But yeah it’s nicked entirely haha.
Jedi Fallen Order is a Star Wars skinned Dark Souls game lol
India kinda got fucked by Europe in the earlier chapters, lol we let em have this one I say.
Houses are pretty great for a few factors
Apartments fucking suck in so many ways. I get that they’re pretty handy in City Skylines where everyone bases their urban planning experience from but there is a reason people prefer to live in house and it’s because it gives you separation from other people in a way apartments cannot.
I enjoy Lex’s longform style but man he does nothing journalistic, which drives me crazy. He’ll ask a hard question but never pushes back on answer cause he’s concerned about being friends with everyone moreso than actually challenging someone’s PR answer that never exists in reality.
When your topic is AI, and it’s at the forefront of national attention you’re pretty useless if you don’t have the stones to actually challenge these pie in the sky type answers the regulars give on his show.
Altman “It’s going to make money useless and probably result in massive unemployment. But I think everyone should have some say in the development in AGI and how we handle it.”
Lex “Wow that’s so noble. Anyways, do you think we can have AI friends someday.”
Like you don’t have to be mean or rude but you gotta have the courage to press some of these guests on their bullshit.
Mostly true in normal cases. If you’re really talented there is a market for you, always. Idk if he falls in the category, and most cyber criminals have no shot at white hat anything but given his age and his feats I think he might be an exception.
It’s good to learn your security concepts, schooling should help with that. After that, I would gravitate towards learning the security around newer commercially viable but immature technology and seek positions around that area whether in security or not. To me, if I was just starting out I’d look towards AI and Machine Learning, which isn’t a very unique answer but probably the correct one for the fastest advancement in this path. Learn the different types of models, learn what kind of attacks their susceptible to, the security controls and mitigation techniques for defending these systems. It changes frequently, pay attention to Github’s trending section to see where the tech world’s focus is as a decent barometer of where things are heading (not necessarily where things currently but going towards).
Overall security is needed everywhere so get a taste of a lot flavors and see which ones you like best, you’ll likely be able to find a job there.
I think I’d be taking a step back in any country besides the US, I think. In Canada the people are fantastic and hockey is everywhereso I think that makes up for it in a few ways . My honest only real concern is US instability also eventually affecting Canada too. So might make sense to be further away.
I don’t want to move though largely like my life in the US as is at the moment.
Fwiw it has spooked my traditionally conservative parents, they don’t follow politics much but as the GOP has moved further and further right it’s pretty much driven them away. So while anecdotal they have always sort of acted as the pulse of the nation (to me) for that demographic. I seriously don’t think he’ll win again but I would never bet on it.
I’ve been visiting English speaking countries and kind of scouting where might be a good option if America had a serious issue. Canada would be my first choice because of proximity and shared values. New Zealand #2, then probably UK or Ireland.
I’m a cybersecurity professional with a lot of experience and I hope that would be welcomed in most countries but idk. I don’t want to move, and would stick around for a bit to see initially how things go but if it kicks right back to 2020’s level of insanity I’m 100% out.
Yeah I’d imagine the troops in Ukraine would be pulled back into Russia largely to secure someone’s position in their upper ranks, with only enough to maintain defensive positions in Ukraine. If Ukraine broke through during this period it’d probably be over while Russia is distracted with internal issues.
…gimme the news, I’ve got a bad case of luuuuuvin you!
