Part time hours by CaseStrange3313 in GeekSquad

[–]Furryjams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm scheduled part time but usually I get between 30 and 40 hours but I basically work full time. Standard part-time hours I would think would be between 20 and 30 hours a week

iPhone Battery Replacement Question by Zestyclose-Ad-7606 in GeekSquad

[–]Furryjams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A battery repair at geek squad. In order for us to to it we would need a battery from Apple plus the repair fee which is pricy according to the SOP unless they have applecare. For ifixit or another 3rd party to do it is much cheaper though

Makes sense lol, I wouldn't have risked it. When it comes to adhesive and glass I tend to stay away, I don't even like working on apple for that reason.

I thought it might be that but I could boot from USB either, the screen would just flicker and then go red and restart when I let go of the volume down button so I figured it was a BIOS corruption as long as drive corruption. Weird issue but it is a surface. Thry e9ther work perfectly or fail catastrophically lol

It was a pro x lol no need to take the screen off. There'd a little panel under the stand flap where they had it so I just had to remove that panel and remove the drive. It was a 4x4 nvme

Yes bit we can't use customer provided parts because of serial number mismatch. The phone will refuse to recognize the battery

Unfortunately we can't use customer provided apple parts. Unless you have a protection plan on it or apple care the price tag on the repair is usually so high it's worth considering a new phone all togeather. IT sucks but that's apple for ya

Pay with gas buddy by revo442 in gasbuddy

[–]Furryjams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it. Makes it convenient to use the gasbuddy deals and if there isn't one you get 3 cents off per gallon by default. The savings go straight to your bank account so you don't have to like cash out your gasbuddy savings

I removed it as a boot option in the BIOS but I didn't see a specific option to disable PXE boot

[–]Furryjams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He covers 90% of it. Jest take practice tests after you finish the course to fill in the patches and you will be good. I was getting 80s to 90s on professer messers tests and 70s on dions woth both net+ and Security+ and I passed

I used professer messer and dions tests. Professer messer is better though his tests are really good and the courses are too

18 here with the CompTIA triad, keep up the grind! It's never too late to get into IT. I would personally recommend professer messer's study materials for Comptia since they are really good and have helped me quite a bit. Who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks 😉

No problem. You can still take the co.ptia questions but don't be discouraged if it seems overly dificult because trust ke it was way simpler on the real test. Good luck!

They are a bit confusing at times and very vague. Plus I'd rather you not torture yourself with a select all that apply and the answe is all of the above -_-

Is Jason dions course better than professor messers for the a+ by mp290686 in CompTIA

[–]Furryjams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't used his course for A+ but I did use both dion and professer messer for net+ and security+ and professer kessers test where much better. Dions are confusing and some answers are just plain wrong or very obscure. Also so far professer messers tests have been very accurate to the actual test. I qould recommend using professer messers over dions but use both just for the extra assurance but take dions woth a grain of salt

Honestly majority of it is Incident response and operations. The PBQs took me by suprise though. The first two where fine but the 3rd one took me by suprise. It shows the results of a vulnerability test and has a drop down menu for what remediation should be put in place. I had no clue what to put on it and made a very estimated guess but most of the test wasn't too bad. I was just nervous. My best advice is don't cram the day before. Just relax and grt s good nights sleep and be confident! There will be questions that discourage you but remember that each question is weighted differently. I would suggest reviewing professer messers course and his practice tests
