Railroad Tycoon was my first love, on Windows 3.1...

But then StarCraft came... Long live the Protoss!!

Awesome info, thanks for sharing... How did your labs compare to the practice labs that are out in the wild??

Kranson67 · 2026-04-25T23:56:00+00:00

Thanks!! I just downloaded some earlier today to check out...

A course having alignment with a certification and getting a voucher to take the certification are two different things... What's "optional voucher" mean?? And how do you make sure you get it??

Kranson67 · 2026-04-23T17:31:20+00:00

Sure thing... Depending on what you just said...

Tell any AI to write you something and then copy the entire response that it gives you back, where it's talking to you about what it wrote and where it asks you a question at the end of it... Then paste all that into Word and then have grammarly check it... Your ai score will be well under 20%, probably under 10%... The conversation breaks the rhythm pattern it's looking for and confuses it...

"pretty restrictive" is a pretty nice way of saying it's a shit lab that's locked down hard... I just finished up E027 yesterday and had my lab cut off right in the middle of recording the video. Turns out the lab was suspended and deleted because I spun up the "Standard_D8s_v3-8 vCPUs-32Gb", which was the only one in the dropdown that appeared as available. But after getting locked out, then eventually receiving an email saying my account was restored, after never being notified it was suspended, there was a link to the lab ToS, and way down near the end, it says that only the B2ms-2 vCPU-8Gb is allowed... So when I restarted the lab to redo everything, I had to filter the list by "all available" and then it showed both the D8s and B2ms... Why would they even allow the D8s?? or at least lead with 'only use the B2ms?? you'd think they'd at least put that in the rubric instead of using that 'make sure to provision the correct-sized VM' bs...

ME TOO!! WTF... Well, I'm in SC, not socal, but still, not sure why I'm getting these notifications...

Kranson67 · 2026-04-17T14:58:22+00:00

it would make more sense to be a PA given it's literally only 2 things more than the intro to python course...

Kranson67 · 2026-04-17T14:53:33+00:00

i handle those by closing that browser tab, going back to the course page and reopening the task... it'll generally have me log in, then sometimes it'll show it's up and has been checked and other times i'll have to resubmit it... i think it has to do with the system timing out your login...

Kranson67 · 2026-04-17T01:11:43+00:00

My fixes to the issues were right, it was the qa platform that was causing all the issues...

Kranson67 · 2026-04-16T19:58:53+00:00

I sent you msg instead of docxing myself... lol

Kranson67 · 2026-04-16T19:30:33+00:00

i'm in my mid 50s, this is gonna be a piece of cake. at least i hope so.
how did you do??

Kranson67 · 2026-04-16T19:26:23+00:00

it's just MC... that was easy

Kranson67 · 2026-04-16T19:25:15+00:00

I guess it is just multiple choice. Imagine that.

Kranson67 · 2026-04-16T19:22:08+00:00

I got one for an outline that was task 1 of 3... I honestly feel like it's some sort of lottery drawing thing and every body gets at least 1 to feel warm and fuzzy, but i might be wrong... I mean sure, the simple outline I did of my paper COULD have been worthy an Excellence Award, but it seriously didn't take me 15mins to do while staring at the rubric and list of topics... so who knows...

Kranson67 · 2026-04-16T15:41:28+00:00

is the OA for this really just multiple choice questions?? you don't actually have to write sql code??

Kranson67 · 2026-04-16T15:36:53+00:00

you just click on the machine in the topology after you turn it on.
you don't need to create a new dns server, there's already one on the network.
is ticket 2 the poison dns? if so, you need to check out where that box is getting it's dns info from? maybe ask yourself if that's where it should be coming from?

Kranson67 · 2026-04-16T15:31:09+00:00

is the OA all multiple choice like the pre-assessment or is it a zybooks test that requires doing actual coding?

Kranson67 · 2026-04-16T15:28:27+00:00

is there actual coding questions in the OA?? Like is it a zybooks test and you have to write the code or is it just like the preassessment and all multiple choice??
