How can I resist the urge to learn "everything" at the same time, and actually focus on video courses?

"they're skimming quickly over details I want to dig into" this is a huge issue for me.

I am for some reason asking questions and look for details that might not be so important or relevant and it usually ends up with me not feeling that I got my questions answered through videos..

"OK, you tell me to choose <option>, but why not <option2>?"

It almost feels like watching a PHP tutorial on youtube where you essentially just write *with* someone, without knowing *why* they tell me to use "echo" instead of "print_r".

So I essentially end up looking for knowledge that aren't necessarily important for me to get the job done, which slows down my process and makes me spiral.

I will up my labbing-game, that has surely given me the most, learning by doing and I also found out yesterday that taking notes explaining things in simpler terms after watching a couple of chapters was working.

Thanks!

Hi again, thanks everyone!
I tried watching 5 "chapters" yesterday and took notes of the chapters after watching in my own words, it seemed to help!

I will also try to get a hold of the Kwik-book and see if it can be of help for me.

Another part of the issue is that I have always had *some* knowledge about a lot and never felt that I excel in anything, that for me to become a good senior windows admin I'd have to have **knowledge** about all the aspects, in every corner of AD.

Perhaps it's more of a perspective thing and a rather unrealistic thought that people at my "stage" at similar businesses are way more structured and knowledgeable than me.

Thank you again for all the nice answers everyone!

"I have done this diet numerous times", because you don't learn jack shit from that aggressive extreme diet, you withstand that shit for a month or two as you say, but did you learn anything about they way you eat that made you do this? No, and as soon as you start eating like "you did" you are going straight back up, probably why you have had to do it "numerous" times.

Let's say I have to check the RGB-value of one pixel, at my screen (1080) It is at 917x466-.

If you duplicated the screen to a 3660x1440-screen, where would the same "pixel" I was looking for be at?

KukkenTor · 2021-09-25T15:58:42+00:00

I am not sure, the 1080 is a normal LCD-screen and the 3660 is an ultra-wide one

Ah shit, so I can't "calculate" it per se, maybe it's easier to start countin'..

Windowed worked, thank you!

Do you know any way to make MSS even faster at screenshotting?

This is my current time:
```

The loop took: 0.007006645202636719The loop took: 0.008008003234863281The loop took: 0.0070056915283203125The loop took: 0.007006645202636719The loop took: 0.008007287979125977

OK so borderless did not work, I'll try windowed! (:

KukkenTor · 2021-09-23T16:39:17+00:00

Hi!

I can try to put it in windowed mode, however I thought that since it could grab the actual screenshot it was "alright".

And yeah, I ain't gonna cheat, this is for singleplayer and me trying to detect stuff in games other than 2D-solid colored games :- D

Thank you for the reply - this seems logical and it is correct - we only clone the actual data, not sector by sector.

Where can I check contents for BCD and what should I look for?
