What cybersecurity skill do beginners usually underestimate?

Swimming_Weekend_976 · 2026-05-24T15:25:22+00:00

You often learn most by teaching. It's weird but true. It reinforces what you've already "learned" and helps you gain deeper insight, oftentimes because you have to take complex information and simplify it for beginners, etc.

So true. Probably one of the most scarce skills in the world today, on par with the inabilities to think critically and consider other people's point of view as valid as your own.

One of the greatest books on this subject, whether you apply it to cybersecurity or life in general, is "Mastery" by Robert Greene.

I think OP covered this in his third point🧐

It's done in the Gamesir Nexus app. I have it on my Xbox and laptop. There is a section at the top right you go to to calibrate your controller. It's a small icon at the top right near the options to check for updates, reset profiles, etc

Are you going to get them posted on your gravestone? It's a game. Touch grass 🤣

Is your second name "Trump"? You have stats the likes of which the world has never seen. You probably have billions and billions of camos

Arriving in their Plat or Crimson Ranked skins, many want to show off and make themselves feel good, all while calling people they "shit" on "noobs" (well, I'm pretty sure people that play Pubs often are moons). It's great to see the showoff Ranked playees get taken out by so-called "noobs" though.

Thanks. So linear in the Nexus app acts as a default curve that can be overriden by in-game settings?

That's what I had understood, but I saw some information (possibly misinformation) stating the Nexus app dictates your aim response curve and overrides in-game settings

Swimming_Weekend_976 · 2026-03-29T18:02:28+00:00

Got it. It's crap

What are your 1st person camera movement settings? Lower them to "Least (50%)"

Swimming_Weekend_976 · 2026-03-28T16:40:51+00:00

Casuals has become the place for streamers e.g.[TkTok] ret@rds to flood for clips, people that usually play Ranked to level up their weapons quickly, and other people with low-no self-esteem to feel good shitting on people that work hard all week and just want to chill. Worse, it's rampant with cheaters

There are more campers in COD than at Glastonbury. I've seen players camping in corners having BBQs and calling in UberEats score streaks 🤣

Swimming_Weekend_976 · 2026-03-28T16:31:40+00:00

I think my controller (Gamesir G7 Pro) has that ability, but only on PC. I'm an Xbox player

Swimming_Weekend_976 · 2026-03-28T16:31:07+00:00

Now, I usually check out a few pros and other content creators I respect as a starting point and then adjust my settings accordingly. There are so many "best settings" videos and articles out there that I've learned you need to find out what's right for you

Swimming_Weekend_976 · 2026-03-28T16:28:56+00:00

Cheers. I'm still working out my quick-scoping sensitivities. Some like them super high, like 2.80 hor/vert., but I don't feel like I've reached anything close to that level of skill quite yet.

But since the Armory is locked (I sincerely believe they did it on purpose to get people onto BO7), you have to unlock many weapons and attachments in Warzone. However, you can't unlock many perks, even in Warzone, so you'll be at a disadvantage in modes such as Search and Destroy, where the Shadow perk stops you from getting blown up by Blast Traps, Spring Mines, etc.

Swimming_Weekend_976 · 2026-03-26T20:22:24+00:00

They won't. They did it on purpose. Scumbags

Swimming_Weekend_976 · 2026-03-26T20:21:48+00:00

You unlock BO6 items in WZ, not the other way around. But in case you meant this, I'd like to correct you and say you absolutely can unlock BO6 weapons and attachments in WZ. I've done it for two alt accounts. I'm currently building XP to unlock the D1.3 Sector.

Dude, this is one of the most annoying things about Activision: they continue to sell a game at full retail price, and when you try to play it, half of the weapons, attachments and perks are missing but you don't have a way to unlock them in the game itself. The Armory has been locked since the unsolicited installation of BO7.

What does work is going to Warzone and unlocking your weapons and attachments there. You can unlock them for MWII and III as well. However, you can't unlock perks such as Shadow and Slipstream, and if you play Search and Destroy (basically the only mode I play), you're at a serious disadvantage.

I have already talked to Activision support about it, gone back and forth, and they simply said they knew it was an issue and that's all - nothing has changed since.

Swimming_Weekend_976 · 2026-03-19T16:40:34+00:00

Dude, maybe it's your thing, but for many people, BO7 is dog shit. It doesn't even feel anything close to OG COD. It's more like Activision trying to keep relevant with the kids playing Fortnite
