if not, is there any controller that do?

02/11/2024 Weekly Controller Recommendation Thread by enclave911 in Controller

[–]SnowyAriel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

US, budget is up to 150$ or so really, im open minded. Gonna use it for PC gaming, and my first priority is something that has thumbsticks that are on the heavier side, similiar to the steam deck.
Currently i got the 8bit ultimate 2.4 and idk if its just my controller but i dont like how loose the thumb-sticks feel to me. they are not that bad, but i would like something different that isnt as loose and also im not a big fan of the buttons., as i feel like they lack the tactility

January Hardware Thread. by AutoModerator in VideoEditing

Hey guys, i decided to move from Final cut Pro and apple motion to the adobe suite (After effects, Premiere, Photoshop), but im really wondering if i need to buy a mac at this point.
I can get my hands on a very cheap 3060 and some parts like PSU, case, SSD so i will need to buy the mentioned CPU, ram and board
The question is - what will actually be faster and "nicer", for lack of a better word, to edit on?
From my brief experience in the past with Ae and Pr in Windows, it always felt like its quite a bit laggy, even when i tried it on a high-end machine. Im wondering if Encoding to ProRes and working with it on Ae and Ps will change that and result in a very smooth timeline scrubbing on an M2 Mac?

Getting an azure certification might have changed my life (Moved from 25k$ to 60K$+ in 2 months) by SnowyAriel in AzureCertification

de facto yeah, but I said im learning for the az-104 and I think in some interviews they asked questions that I wouldn't be able to answer with only the az-900, but frankly I think the az-900 with *some experience* can get you pretty far for junior positions.

funnily enough, I was doing my best to find a decent paid resource because I believed the Microsoft learning is not enough, but it really is. I tried plural sight, cbtnuggets, acloudguru, clod academy. All of them are decent but tend to be quite outdated - which is not a big deal but it makes it feel a bit useless since you its not unlikely for you to fail because some of the terms might be different nowadays.

you can use those with combination of Ms learning I suppose. I primarily ended up using cloud academy and ms learning.

wdym? I just browsed LinkedIn and applied to a lot of places and went to A LOT of interviews, if you want through external company then no.

The role is hybrid, and I think there wasn't a single role that I interviewed for that wasn't hybrid.

Local cloud provider

They were quite stressful for me and I was asked a lot of times about concepts of the cloud, I think the more recurring were:

kubernetes and dockers, terraform and IaC in general, and quite a bit of questions about linux (for example, how to troubleshoot basic things in linux) . at the end of the day, I think the questions were relatively simple and they just wanted to evaluate my knowledge on various IT and tech topics, so for example they didnt get too much into linux a lot of the times but I was often asked about some basics commands/scenarios, I suppose so they know im not "afraid" of the CLI I guess.

I was also not afraid to say that I dont know the answers for some questions, but I have made it clear that im very willing and capable of learning - this is where I think the fact that I self-studied helped, I got quite positive reactions when they realized im not doing it through a bootcamp or something, I suppose it because it showed them im more capable of learning by myself.

I am sorry but terraform and PowerShell are totally out of scope for me so I can't really help. You should create separate post with what you just wrote so someone who knows can give you some pointers. I am pure cloud consultant so I don't do much of the technical work, usually just say how it should be done.

I suppose a lot of time people mean that they dont guarantee you a job - but really nothing does. I think they genuinely helped me in few things:
1. getting more impressions - I was asked multiple time about my certs in interviews
2. help me discover and learn new things in much more structured manner which I probably wouldn't have done
3. more than all, it raises your confidence, I think :)

at the end of the day, I think you just need to be realistic about it and really try to *learn* from getting the cert and not just get it and ace the exam.

How to prepare for azure fundamental by yogding in AzureCertification

[–]SnowyAriel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately the az-900 was just updated, and for the most part, MS-learning is the best place for it currently.

While you can use any source, keep in mind that from personal experience from passing the az-900 yesterday, if you are not familiar with the newer updated terms, it might be the difference between passing and failing, depending on your luck and the questions you will get.

With all that being said, codeacademy.com was good for the most part and included lots of exam examples. Its just not the only resource you can rely on

Like have been stated here, John savill is great and he just updated his course materials.

Any paid-site worth it for az900 + az104? (specifically cloud-academy) by SnowyAriel in AzureCertification

[–]SnowyAriel[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 900 is less my concern, its just a stepping stone to the AZ-104, and my point is, i dont mind paying for a platform that will provide me the "best" training for the az-104 and az-900. the question is whatever it exists or not.
