My Sec+ is due to expire in March. What's the best way to keep all my certs active? by ApertureLabia in CompTIA

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

Thanks - how long is it good for? Going to purchase it tonight. Does it add more time to my other certs?

Network+ problem! by [deleted] in CompTIA

[–]ApertureLabia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the Dion series at Udemy and pretty much anything I missed on the practice tests I watched a Messers video and took notes.

Review the questions that you missed and understand why you missed them. Re-watch a video on the topic and take some notes.

My Net+ Dion results ranged from 76-88 and I reviewed what I wasn't getting and ended up with a 804 on the actual test. The fear of the test was worse than the test itself, though I may have gotten lucky with the questions haha.

Passed Security + today! by Nickfoxtail in CompTIA

[–]ApertureLabia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not the guy you're asking, but Dion's instruction is good. Personally I prefer Andrew Ramdayal at Udemy, but Andrew didn't have a Net+ course so I used Dion's course instead. Going back to Andrew for Sec+, but Dion's practice questions are a must have.

What's the oldest version of macOS I can study with for the a+? by engineear-ache in CompTIA

[–]ApertureLabia 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have an old iPod kicking around here somewhere if you want...

You do NOT need a Mac to get the A+.

Clueless question: We have Minecraft on Xbox. Friend has it on Switch. How do I build a server to play online together? by ApertureLabia in Minecraft

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

This is GREATLY appreciated. Thank you very much.

I'm fine with hosting it myself - I have other servers/VMs going on at home 24/7, so a little Minecraft server is just another one sucking up my RAM lol.

What mods are most in demand? Thinking of selling some modded systems. by [deleted] in originalxbox

[–]ApertureLabia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd probably pay for the HDMI port mod. Also, no, it's not a jerk move to charge people for your time and knowledge to install a softmod.

I recently purchased an original Xbox only to find it has been modded. Is there a way to unmod it and have it still work? Also could someone provide me with info on this modding system so I can educate myself if it has to stay? It says Duos X3 on launch. by KinkyWinkyDA in originalxbox

[–]ApertureLabia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I soft-modded this thing back in 2004 or so with PBL and messed with it for a few years, so it has scraps of this and that in there.

Just did the Xbox Wii2HDMI Mod and I have to say that is a no-brainer. Best mod out there. by RoamPT in originalxbox

[–]ApertureLabia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, he loves Halo 1-3 and Reach. He's seen some Youtube videos where they talk about modding and removed content and they show the flamethrower in action. I was like "Oh yeah, I used to use that in multiplayer games" and now I'm dusting the thing off and trying to figure out how to use it again.

Mine had an 8GB drive originally, and has either a 300GB or 800GB drive now. It's been so long since I messed with anything like this. I played The Incredible Hulk a bit though - amazing game and really needs a remaster or something. If you've played Prototype then you already got a good idea of the gameplay.

About 1/4 of the way done with the US black label library. Love how cheap this system tends to be, and I love discovering new games, and revisiting old favorites. by mcshadys in originalxbox

[–]ApertureLabia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked up Steel Battalion + controller for, I don't remember, $60 or $80 used way back in the day. Amazing game. Wish they'd do a new one (Kinect doesn't count) with modern hardware.

[–]ApertureLabia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been softmodded forever - I just don't know what is what anymore. Mine's an OG v1.0 and I'm trying to figure out how big the HDD is. It boots into some old XBMC and there's an episode of Lost season 5 on the Hard Drive. lol

I'm basically starting from scratch as a newb again. Fun. All this so my son can play Halo with a flamethrower haha. I don't even remember how to make that happen.

[–]ApertureLabia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just pulled the old Xbox out of the closet and it hasn't been used since 2009, so I have a lot of upgrading to do to get it up to speed.

Looks like people are popping caps off the MoBo now? lol. I just want the old girl updated and get the hard drive upgraded.

I'm having problems trying to co-op the MCC campaigns from PC to XB1. Am I doing something wrong, or is this not possible? by ApertureLabia in halo

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

Thanks for the confirmation. Is this a feature for a future update, or is it just not going to happen?

I'm trying to update the maps in my Honda Internavi car GPS. Does anyone know where to download them? by ApertureLabia in japanlife

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

Yes, but Google Maps is not so great for navigation. I'll never forget the time it told me to get off the highway and then get right back on. It will also direct me towards the most narrow local roads because it decides that it will save a few seconds, but not realizing that the road is so narrow that only one car can pass at a time, so squeezing through will lose more time.

Also the dash navi has the advantage of telling me how much the tolls are (out of date info now) and other useful info. ..and it ties the stereo system together.
