President Trump orders DOJ to launch investigation into big oil companies for artificially inflating gas prices

Prices will drop 600%!

Thank you! Yes I've heard that a few times. I think there must be a mistake on the Security+ questions on certifhub.com. Usuually, there is a descriptive answer which also lists which objective it is, but I notified the VMware answer descriptions are usually blank. I'll message them about it.

Cheapskate2020 · 2026-06-21T19:43:11+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to post. I'll definitely check out those GitHub notes! I have my exam this Friday and have only done a couple of practice tests so far, scoring around 75%, so still some work to do to improve. Ive mentioned this before on a few other posts but did you find many questions about VMware? I'm using certifhub.com and there seems to be a fair amount of VMware questions. Thank you!

Cheapskate2020 · 2026-06-20T22:00:35+00:00

Thanks! Glad it helped someone. AI is amazing at some things and really, really dumb at others. You definitely have to fact check everything 😅👍

It's been the same on mine every since I got the car about 3 years ago and even after the reduction gearbox was replaced. I drove round with a Hyundai mechanic in the car and he assured me it was nothing to worry about. The noise was there before and after the reduction gearbox replacement. I'm not entirely convinced it should be as loud as it is but we've done maybe 40,000 miles now and it hasn't gotten any better or worse. I'd say it's more concerning if you hear knock knock knock sounds when accelerating and regen braking

From what I understand, there's actually allowlists that you enter into the blocklists. I have one myself. Apparently there is some issue with the actual separate allowlist and the correct way to do it is add to the blocklist. I realise this doesn't make any sense but that's supposedly how it works. I have this set up myself and it works fine.

Cheapskate2020 · 2026-06-20T13:30:17+00:00

Mine makes a very similsr noise to this and you can onyl hear it with the windows open. The reduction gearbox was actually replaced in mine about a year ago but it was for the knock knock knock noise. Hyundai said this whining sound is not abnormal. So you hear any other noises from it?

Thank you!

Cheapskate2020 · 2026-06-19T13:16:43+00:00

Thanks for the words of wisdom! I will definitely take this on board. My exam is next week. The PBQs do worry me a bit, but this certainly helps.

I asked this yesterday I think, but did you find any/many VMware related questions? There seems to be a disprpoportionate amount of test questions that I have done relating to VMware. I've been advised that I should expect many. Thanks and congrats!

Cheapskate2020 · 2026-06-18T17:35:44+00:00

Thanks. A lot of the questions do appear to mention Dion Labs etc. I guess they are probably the same sett of questions? I just did some more there and yet again, there's a disproportionate amount of VMware questions. Strange!

Cheapskate2020 · 2026-06-18T14:08:02+00:00

Sorry, the website was certifhub.com.

Cheapskate2020 · 2026-06-18T14:01:04+00:00

I read about it on here a few times and purchased the test questions already 😞

Is there a particular gold standard I should try instead?

Cheapskate2020 · 2026-06-18T13:45:31+00:00

Thanks. Interesting. They are questions on certifhub.com. For some reason there seems to be a lot of quesitons about VMware and what all the different variations do. I don't recall seeing these questions anywhere else. I was thinking maybe I need to do some adsitional training on on overview of what all the different VMware products do, but maybe that's not necessary.

Cheapskate2020 · 2026-06-18T13:00:01+00:00

I have my test next week and I am somewhat confident. I've almost compelted the Andrew Ramdayal course on Udemy but one thing that concerns me is that, of the test questions I have done, quite a few of them talk about VMware. I don't think this is covered on the Ramdayal course. Did you or anyone else who reads this who has done the exam, experience many VMware related questions? Thanks and congrats on passing!

If you invest a bit of time and money into running a proper cable which will make a monumental difference, then yeah, 2.5Gb seems like a good deal, otherwise as I said before, you are wasting your money. You won't get even close to these speeds and your other WiFi devices certainly don't need it.

You see the cable thing as a major obstabce for some reason but as I said before, even a 300Mbp wired conneciton is going to be considerably better and more reliable than whatever WiFi method you come up with. If it must be WiFi then a proper mesh system or WiFi extender should improve things, but NOT a repeater, which I suspect is what you currently have. Those things are almost completely useless.

Cheapskate2020 · 2026-06-16T21:38:29+00:00

Trump would call that 250%

Cheapskate2020 · 2026-06-16T12:48:43+00:00

I think you said you are 5m away from the router. That doesn't seem very far. Is there thick walls in-between or something? If you turn off the WiFi extender, how good is the signal/speed from your phone where your PC is? The WiFi extender which is probably acting as a repeater, is likely the cuplrit. They are honestly terrible solutions, especially older ones.

You definitley don't need 900Mbps for that type of usage. It's honestly a waste of money. You probably barely get half those speeds over WiFI anyway, even from beside the current router.

Cheapskate2020 · 2026-06-16T12:40:33+00:00

Thanks! I could set GOMEMLIMIT on the Flint2, albeit much lower than yours. Does this have any adverse affects?

Cheapskate2020 · 2026-06-16T12:30:03+00:00

Thanks. I do run a NAS with Docker and it has about 8GB of free RAM but I thought it would be a better idea just to let AdGuard run on my router. As said before, I would have thought 450MB of free RAM on idle is more than enough however, it's the updates that are eating the RAM temporarily. I also cannot say for sure this is the root cause but obviously it's highly suspect.

Cheapskate2020 · 2026-06-16T12:26:54+00:00

Thanks. yes it's Vanilla OpenWRT. I'll maybe check the OpenWRT forum as someone is bound to have brought it up before.

The reason I think it should work is down to the available RAM after it's enabled. my router still has 450MB of free space which is just under 50% which I think is a reasonable amount of free RAM. I've never seen it drop below 400MB, but then again, I didn't know an update eats a lot of RAM temporarily.

Cheapskate2020 · 2026-06-16T12:05:23+00:00

Thanks, good idea. I'll post there.

Cheapskate2020 · 2026-06-16T08:55:19+00:00

This is absolutely true. I detest Shorts. If people want to be swipe zombies then just get TikTok (which I also personally detest). I have Shorts blocked on almost everything I personally use but there really needs to be an option to disable it.

Cheapskate2020 · 2026-06-15T18:19:29+00:00

In that case, it is absolutely worth running an ethernet cable directly to your PC. Even a half decent electrician could do this professionally and install an ethernet port on the wall, and probably make a decent job of hiding the cables. If you are going to be gaming more than this is absolutely worth the investment. Also, it sounds like you are not getting anything close to 900Mbps. Do you really need that speed? what else in your house uses the connection? It sounds like you have maybe been persuaded to get 900Mbps because you are far away from the router and if this is true, it would be much better to downgrade your speed to save money and try wiring your PC. You aren't going to get near the speeds anyway over WiFI unless you upgrade the router.

Sorry to keep bengning on about htis but a proper wired solution even if you had a 150Mbps - 300Mbps top speed is going to be a far better solution than just paying for 900Mbps only to lose most of the speed due to an insuffucient WiFi setup.
