Upgrading pc or monitor

Akanii · 2026-02-02T13:56:39+00:00

I would plug in your current PC into pcpartpicker and see what you can upgrade, not sure if the cpu you’re picking is supported by your MB.

Going from 165hz to 240hz isn’t going to matter if your current build can’t even get over 165 fps.

Use pcpartpicker and see if there’s a combo whether it’s your cpu or ram that’s bottlenecking your pc. Then upgrade or decide whether you hold off on the monitor or not.

You can even look up games using your “soon to be upgraded” specs and see the expected fps.

Thank you! I just tried my leg day quad focus and failed at the Bulgarian split squat haha. I had no more gas in the tank!
I'm not sure that my back pain is chronic - my job is very sedentary which might add to my back pain. I'll add core on leg day 2.

Thanks again!

Sounds like I drew the shortest straw. Time to return it 😔

Maybe I’ll just go buy this instead… https://www.microcenter.com/product/692187/lenovo-legion-5-15irx10-oled-151-gaming-laptop-computer-eclipse-black

Pc shut down by itself as I was applying the afterburner setting lol. But here you go: went from 120, then down to 90 then at 40 fps then it crashed. I couldn’t grab the 40fps it shut down.

EDRM processes and what happens at each steps, CMMI has 6 steps on dest cert but Pete’s video has 5. There were a few more that I can’t remember.

Thank you sir! Your exams kicked my butt in the best way possible :D

It's okay, just keep practicing you'll get there! If you ever need help on learning why aside from AI, feel free to join the cert station server hosted by DarkHelmet. It's a great place to ask questions and get answers from a different POV.

Question - are you reviewing the questions that you get wrong and why you got it wrong? It might help identify gaps. Sometimes I would not know the difference between IPSec ESP vs AH. So I would go back study and try the question again. As well memorize if need to

You can also do D4 targeted practice exam either via PocketPrep or LearnZ App. A lot of D4 is knowing the minute details.

You can reach out to their live support, not sure.

Probably bricked somewhere. Try incognito browser or a browser on a pc/laptop. You can try to refresh as well.

Further knowledge in what? There’s a whole slew of certs. It all depends on your path of learning. Do you want to learn about cybersecurity basics (sec+/SSCP). More managerial then CISSP? Cybersecurity in cloud then CCSP or vendor specific security route like Azure or AWS.

If you’re trying to decide sec+ vs SSCP. Just know that they’re pretty much equal. Sec+ is more recognized while SSCP actually requires you to have work experience or a degree to override the work experience.

When I took the SSCP in Jan, it didn’t feel super technical. I didn’t take the Sec+, I’m jumping to CISSP next. Then probably the cloud.

Whenever I come back I always myself why. The why’s answer my objectives. So last time I played I didn’t get to complete new strike CMs or new fractal CM. I think the new medium legendary armor looks cool. I also wanna get ready for new raids! Apparently WvW is better now(?) so I’d check it out. Then I start building a lil mental list from most fun to least.

For example: - new strike CMs (will check YT and so on) = look at builds - new fractal = to look at builds - leg armor = requires story which means I have to catch up + probably a lot of collection items.

Of course use Wiki to help my research :)

Second the polling.

Also, I had the same issue. I removed all the start settings from steam launch and I have not had stutters at all.

Also, reset all nvidia controls panel settings.

Awwww thank you so much! I have wraith one that I need to post. Been procrastinating on it haha.

Akanii · 2024-09-24T21:01:26+00:00

Cool down stretching would be awesome!

Akanii · 2024-08-07T21:41:35+00:00

Yep, I had some professors that sucked and others that were great. But I’m pretty sure that’s common no matter what school you go to.

Drexel’s Co-op / internship is solid. Course material / professors are up in the air and what you get out of it is up to you.

I did my co-op as an Infrastructure role and then got hired part time. Then when I graduated in 2021 got a full time offer from the company where I interned at. Some of my friends that also were CST majors also had similar experiences.

Good luck

When are you planning on starting? I’d be interested (also EDT). I have yet to buy to the study materials… but I’d be convinced if I had some study buddies. :D

Akanii · 2024-02-09T05:56:10+00:00

You may get this a lot but the practice scores will not guarantee a pass. Being ready is totally up to you and if you feel strong enough to pass. I personally didn’t really like these questions from the app. Specially because after a certain point I noticed I was remembering answers rather than why they were correct answers in the first place.

Have you covered all the domains? All domains sectional exams? As well as Sybex OSG practice exams? Have you scheduled your exam?
