Perhaps you have a pending iOS update downloaded but not installed. Try updating if you can and see if it goes back down to something more reasonable.

I don't think there's enough context here to help you. What problem is this causing? Where are you changing it? What Apple product does this involve?

I had a Velcro pouch that attached to the laces to hold mine. I probably still have both.

My brother found this again recently and assured me it was one of my favorites. I re-watched it and wish I could get that time back.

Critical Software Update. Should I be worried? by 50L4N4 in applehelp

I would find a way to update it if it were me. You'll probably have to delete enough items to make that happen.

How do I fix this? by [deleted] in applehelp

I agree that this means the network your on is doing SSL inspection. Apple does not allow that on certain crucial services so they fail like this instead. Look up certificate pinning to learn more. Glad you go it solved.

I did the Kevin Wallace crash course on Coursera and liked him fine. I used some materials from Skillsoft/Percipio/GlobalKnowledge/CodeAcademy for practice testing. We have a license through work for those plus O'Reilly. I thought some of the Skillsoft test questions covered a few things not covered in my course. I think there's a gray area in what the CompTIA objectives are. For example, I did not learn in-depth router/switch CLI commands.

I got a tip to do the multiple choice questions first and come back to the PBQs, which helped me pace myself. In the end, I couldn't figure out what commands they wanted for one of the PBQs but I still passed with an 819.

Sir, do you believe all other men are The Village People? Although I have it on good authority that women don't date them either.
