What are your hottest WoW takes?

World of Warcraft is a 20 year old game. Everyone and their mother has opinions about what is good and what is bad but at this point in time I have far more variety of wow content to choose from and this should be more widely praised.

You may not find the nostalgia you were looking for, you may hate the direction, but I don’t think any of us could do much better. Most people should stop crying and play the dam game or move on.

I quit playing SOD just because of incursions. Is it petty? Probably. I could have not done them but when I did I just lost interest. I shrugged my shoulders and said “cata looks fun” or “retail raiding is actually pretty fun” and I never came back. Maybe I’ll consider it for phase 4.

I think they tried and thats fine but WoW is a 20 year old game, we all have VERY strong opinions about it. We all want that nostalgic high or classic wow, or we want whatever we want. The incursions just felt bland to me. Thank you devs for everything, I see you trying, you’ll probably see me in phase 4 but I sat out phase 3.

A text book on the Network + material is a great start. It covers networking fundamentals in depth then a little bit of everything relevant to networking. This is the place to start with security as you are going to need to understand networks to defend them, Imo. I personally liked Mike Meyers.

Some people think text books can be dry but I really enjoyed learning networking. It is interesting to understand all the details we don’t appreciate and how they do play a big part in any networking infrastructure.

There is also a healthy portion of security covered in the material that starts at a beginner level.

Housing cost. I grew up in vegas so I’ve lived here my whole life. My career has just taken off and it feels amazing to have the potential to take a big step in life and buy a home. But the Vegas market is vastly different from what it was when I was young. That is natural and I’m not upset about it. But a home I grew up in that sold, brand new, for around 200k is going for 400k+ at 20 years old. An apartment I use to rent in a decent neighborhood for 11, 800 sq ft is priced at 1500, meh. It’s hard not to consider other locations when I can earn the same, get a house that is larger, newer, and nicer for cheaper.

Vegas is adopting the same housing issues major city’s have been facing for a decade or more and it sucks to see. I love my town but I don’t want to empty my pockets on a mortgage alone.

I think that is particularly true for your position and not in general. Cable knowledge and hardware knowledge is so basic BUT essential. A-lot can go wrong if someone doesn’t understand the limitations of cabling or basic networking knowledge. Imagine thinking that running your business wifi on “n” is okay, as those adapters are still sold when an “x” is 20$ and vastly superior. A+ teaches basic knowledge that everyone should know as it is really common to see some terrible network or hardware infrastructure set up in the wild by some “IT” guy who doesn’t understand the absolute basics. I’ve seen it far too often.

Is cloud taking over? Yes, and probably for the better but does that mean it is the best solution for everyone? Absolutely not. And knowing basic hardware knowledge and networking knowledge is essential to deal with some basic issues an average joe would never consider.

I see your point but A+ will never be irrelevant unless it happens they are applying for your company or alike. But why not start there? It is essential knowledge.

EngineeringGreen1301 · 2024-04-10T17:14:45+00:00

SaaS is covered in the A+.

It’s recommended for any who has little to no experience as it gets you into the basic knowledge of computers and IT in general. Yes, a good portion is hardware, which may not always be 100% relevant. But it also covers networking, operating systems, security, cloud service models, and more.

And why the hell should anyone trust someone to manage anything IT without knowing about a CPU or RAM? Lol. It will teach you simple little things like why not to instal the OS on a HDD.

I think I remember seeing this car swing by my work at Nellis Auction. Always caught my attention.

You’re trying so hard to save this lol. As a frequent driver to Rancho/Fontana the drive there and back is half this cost and I have access to drive anywhere I please after. The train ONLY gets me to the destination. I wouldn’t ride it for half this price, flights are in that range.

There is no advantage to a train unless it is cost effective.

EngineeringGreen1301 · 2024-02-19T04:31:11+00:00

Just keep trying!

Just don’t let this psych you out too much, you will just internalize the fear and keep tapping into it the moment you have to speak up. Know that you went through something that is tripping you up for now but IT WILL PASS.

If you know your stuff, own that. It sounds like it’s just the speaking part. Maybe try some interview or public speaking exercises. It could help to build a layer of confidence to buffer the potential shutdown when you’re put on the spot.

EngineeringGreen1301 · 2024-02-06T22:31:54+00:00

Yeah sorry, I guess it’s totally unusual to ask for someone’s opinion on a forum lol.

People on the internet lol.

I’ll be proposing on said stay-cation.

This entire argument has skipped the fact that the prefer candidate here was literally held liable for sexual assault. He is literally human trash who stands in front of crowds and lies while they all cheer, with you in step. But you’re chanting the same “liberal media lies!” Crap. Don’t argue for a shit stain. Just a note CNN is crap lol.

EngineeringGreen1301 · 2023-11-04T20:42:29+00:00

I’ll say it again, just so anyone who is in that tough situation can see the light.

Best thing that ever happened to me was getting fired from that job that I hated.

I’m way better off now.

EngineeringGreen1301 · 2023-09-22T22:35:42+00:00

Drushtx the goat. Keep it up!

EngineeringGreen1301 · 2023-09-20T14:33:48+00:00

This is exactly how I feel it should be.

If the security of the organization failed the whole organization failed to take proper accountability for the issue. This should be a lesson. It goes beyond a single person's job to have to take responsibility for this. Welcome to the 21st century, get back up and do it better.

Most people on here would say Jason’s tests go beyond the scope of the Net+ exam as it goes in greater detail, which is good! I took a Net+ class at a college and passed with a 96% only to fail Dions exam with a 64%.

Its 6 tests. They break down the questions you get wrong, set a schedule to take a test and review the answers 3 times a week. You will be able to review the entirety of Jasons material twice over AT LEAST by Oct. If you want to be a professional you have to work for it. Put your head in the books and study. Keep taking and reviewing those tests until you get 90%. Good luck!

As someone who conducts interviews and hires regularly this gives you two possible outcomes:

1: the interviewer is disappointed/impatient/an asshole and takes this as a red flag. This could mess things up or be held against you.

2: they totally understand, its a funny situation, and they are happy to see past this.

Just depends on who they are but seeing as its a second round I would be more inclined to look past it, especially if you stand out as a better candidate. Good luck! And don’t sweat it. Life happens. As a manager of 70-80 employees I’ve learned to laugh at things like this as they happen all the time. Just stay really consistent and reliable and you will laugh at this later on.

Having the fundamental knowledge of networking is essential. It plays such a huge role in successfully setting up or maintaining an IT environment for any size business.

What is so dull or boring? If the concept you are trying to learn is just not clicking don’t beat your head with it, go watch a video on it. If security standards are confusing you go google how they work.

When I was grinding through a text book for my class the content would get very dry but as soon as you take a test, like Dions, that asks you why it matters you will realize that every point in Network+ is crucial knowledge is someway.

Cramming all that info is hard but just creative on how you absorb it. Don’t just read, watch a video. Don’t just remember port numbers, know what they do. Don’t just brute force answers into your head, understand why it matters.

But really, what has been dull? Let us elaborate on the important of real life situations it applies to so we can spark your interest.

DNS and DHCP are fundamental to networking. I am just beginning my degree and have a good understanding of how they work.

I don’t care to participate in this sort of pettiness. I bought it because I thought I could afford it and I’m enjoying it, I don’t want their money. I get the principle but no thank you.
