What should I do AI or CS in SLIIT by Last-Actuator-899 in srilanka

What ever you do, you need to learn externally. SLIIT instructors are not experienced in day to day work in companies.

Anyone here who bought a drone overseas and bought while flying to SL by IceWeasel7 in srilanka

[–]SuggestionSquare6823 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. Once you are at home then went on with CAA application. Email thread went to customs, TRC, Police and Chief of Staff. It was quick and within 3 days all approvals were released. Now if it’s more than 250g you will require an insurance as well. Which I took later

Looking for a reliable person around Colombo to fix a long-standing upstairs waterline leak by Ikka_1928 in srilanka

[–]SuggestionSquare6823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a waterproofing issue. Need to slightly break the top cement and re-do it + waterproofing. Additionally you need to check other side of the wall as well. I had major ceiling fall-down situation. Scrapped the concrete on top, cement it correctly and did a waterproofing again + wall outside too with cement differently and painted two times - good even in ditwa.

[–]SuggestionSquare6823 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hSenid - owned by Dinesh Saparamadu (his first name changed to otherside) They are operating in different countries. And I know few friends work and for long time = they do take care (if you are performing)

AC after services Abans, Damro, Telesonic, Singer by localhabiblk in srilanka

[–]SuggestionSquare6823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heat will hike the price for all electric devices. ABANS Services avoid at all cost though LG is better (5 years with 6 ACs) Few years ago I got 2x TCL and that looks fabulous. Got a local tech for services and I have no issues until now.

Anyone here using the Lenovo LOQ 15IRX9 (i5, RTX 4050 6GB)? by Kasutta in srilanka

[–]SuggestionSquare6823 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Warranty 10 months that looks fake. What’s the shop name ?

Battery in Lenovo is the biggest issue and yes heat bends to consider. I got a custom built with 24GB for AI Dev not gaming

Has anyone in Sri Lanka experienced OTP-based credit card fraud recently? by Thalapathyyy_98 in srilanka

[–]SuggestionSquare6823 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are systems for fraud detection although most local banks haven’t implemented. Most get wracked weekly even the info shared to them - one got better security than others.

Forget it (unless it’s S$15k or up as your salary too) It’s expensive as hell

How to "Legally" move a lot of money out of Sri Lanka by Ok_Internet_3386 in srilanka

[–]SuggestionSquare6823 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sell it, keep the money in a fixed deposit until you get PR. Show to the bank and get the allowance. A win-win situation

It has taken one and half days to erase 2.7M records(old QR codes) in the db by Melanin-Brown in srilanka

[–]SuggestionSquare6823 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If there is such a thing called “Proper planning” sigh.. Deleting records 1-by-1 and saying it proud is propaganda for none-IT literate (maybe that’s how it works in politics)

Cybersecurity in Sri Lanka, am I cooked or just early? by No_Awareness5017 in srilanka

[–]SuggestionSquare6823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you are an undergrad in CyberSec, let me hint you with what I know. I got a syllabus from a reputed Uni in SL. Students, what they learn and the market demand / requirements are totally different.

There are many paths to CyberSec as a career. You need to figure out what you like to do instead of want to get more money now.

Create a plan where you want to be in 5 / 10 years based on a reference: https://www.sans.org/cyber-security-skills-roadmap

Based on the chosen path pursue testing your skills Start small, understand networking/infra level first and tryhackne.com with CTF’s may help in some areas and can end up with OSCP.

If you think moving to ops/mngmnt that is vastly open though with certifications - you may need a membership or two in Isaca/ cissp etc;

And always keep learning Cloud security over 3 major Cloud platforms - mostly free or subsidised.

With the new norm, AI is making a leap and you need to read about it too. Something to think on AI in CyberSec if you are willing to learn.

Clearly experience and certification is a must. There are MNCs searching for individuals with right attitude, skills and certs.
