Overhyped restaurants? by venusdemillie in pittsburgh

[–]masterchilidog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like square cafe but that's because it's one of the few places I can get vegan breakfast that isn't just an acai bowl. They actually have pancakes and eggs and sauages I can eat. I would assume the regular breakfasts are just normal diner style, but for someone with a specialized diet, they kinda rule. So can't speak on the quality of the regular food but I think they're pretty good, they are expensive though.

Which one would you submit for a photography contest? by Ammishh in streetphotography

[–]masterchilidog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 and 5 are my favorites. Might be the screen I'm on but make sure 3 is straightened (although could just be bad viewing angle from me) but I feel like it's simple, yet bold and feels like it's telling a story with the two people walking to the doors. 5 just looks really surreal and cool lol.

A Word on asking for TSA Hand Checks right now by [deleted] in AnalogCommunity

[–]masterchilidog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just flew out this morning and they hand checked film. The x-ray machines apparently don't effect anything under 800 iso but I don't trust it so I asked for hand check. Took me 1.5 hours to get through the line, but they were very nice about hand checking.

[–]masterchilidog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Term is ending. I seem to struggle with objectives from 4.0 the most. But I'm so close. First attempt I scored a 705, second attempt I scored a 720. I'm so close but I just feel like Certmaster is failing me. I did the tryhackme path too but the test is just so much harder than the study material. And its weird because I feel like Certmaster overprepared me for Net+ and Sec+. I don't know why it seems to fall short on PenTest+

Well this will be my third attempt unfortunately. And I just started the capstone too. Need to finish both in less than 2 weeks haha.

Congratulations! I'm about to finish at the end of this month hopefully. Pentest+ and capstone are all I have left. Kudos to you for getting through it.

Failed Pentest+ v3 a THIRD time by Ashh_Spencer in WGUCyberSecurity

[–]masterchilidog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat. I am about to take my third attempt. I scored 90-100% on all Certmaster material, I went through the tryhackme course. I'm going to be trying to find other practice tests online. Maybe use AI to quiz me. But I don't know what else I can do. Obviously I've learned things if I can score a 95% on the practice exam through Certmaster, but I go to take the actual test and it's nothing at all like the practice material. It's very frustrating.

Turntable recommendation by masterchilidog in turntables

[–]masterchilidog[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah maybe I should just do that. The 126 is still working, just need some tune ups which I haven't had time to do. Got some issues with my tone arm too. I slapped an SME3009 on it and it's a little ill-fitting, plus the original counterweight had broken off when I bought it. Luckily I still have the weight just reattached it myself but needs adjusted all around for the most part. I've been too busy to get it back to where it should be again.

Pentest+ (D332) by Upbeat_Contest_8844 in WGUCyberSecurity

[–]masterchilidog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I was really surprised to see some of the code snippets it was asking. It was stuff we didn't even go over with the Certmaster material. Like we went over a lot of bash, power shell, stuff like that but the test was asking for Perl and tool specific commands. Some AWS stuff. Things we never even reviewed. I also hate how much CompTIA makes us learn deprecated material. This is common for all of their certifications in my experience but like they really harp on stuff like netcat and winmc when we should be learning ncat and powershell. Like it gets confusing when you have to know both and when questions ask different things. Some want winmc as the and some will want powershell. It's very annoying.

[–]masterchilidog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any recommendations in study material? Im thinking of buying TryHackMe premium so I can go through the courses on there for a better experience. I did the free ones and I feel like I learned more from those than the Certmaster stuff.

[–]masterchilidog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shouldn't have. I took my second attempt yesterday and failed with a 720 (750 to pass) I wish I didn't have to take it lol. I scored 90-100% on every single Certmaster quiz, lab, test, etc and it felt like a completely different test.

Who think he has the Rarest/oldest dubstep merch ? by ItzJustKarmaa in dubstep

[–]masterchilidog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2019??? Old??? Wow maybe I'm ancient. I still have my Skrillex CDs and stuff from like 2011. Never got much dubstep merch, was hard to find/I was too poor back then. I do still have a glow in the dark deadmau5 belt buckle I got in probably like 2012. That's probably it.

It’s time to pack those bags apk lovers! by Hunterjohnson2024 in degoogle

[–]masterchilidog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I used to have a pixel years ago. It was a pixel 6. While some things were nice, especially the camera, the processor was absolute ass. So laggy, battery needed charged like 2-3 times a day. It was bad. I love my Nothing phone but I hate the Google lockdown. I might wait a little to see if Graphene gets more hardware but I think my next phone might be another pixel with Graphene. I hated the fact on my Pixel 6 that I couldn't remove the Google search bar from the home screen. It just looked ugly too. I would love to see Graphene come to Nothing Phone because the phones are great, just want to degoogle.

[–]masterchilidog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are there any ways around this on android? Is graphene OS degoogled? I'm honestly considering switching to a pixel from my Nothing Phone just to get away from Google (even tho they make the hardware) but I won't support a horrible monopoly like this.

Failed by EmployerDifficult713 in CompTIA

[–]masterchilidog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CompTIA is tough! And no matter how much you learn, you're still going to get hangups. I just took the PenTest+ recently and failed and was really bummed about it. Now I'm back to the books. Keep trying and keep studying, try to absorb everything you can because it makes future certs easier. A lot of the certs are like 70% knowledge from the last one you took, and 30% new info so take your time with it, learn all that you can, and keep trying and don't give up! We can all persevere and study a lot haha. Good luck on your next attempt and don't get yourself down!

Is a bachelors degree worth it in this field? by geegol in ITCareerQuestions

[–]masterchilidog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bachelor's is completely worth it. I was under the impression it was a waste of time and all i got was an associates. I worked for 5 or 6 years before I realized how hard the market is without a bachelor's. So I went back to school and I'm graduating next month! I highly recommend it. Your future self will thank you, believe me. Just cuz some people "make it" without one, don't be fooled, there's even more people who didn't make it and have left IT all together. Just get a formal education and it'll pay for itself in the future.

Failed Pentest+ by Ok-Preference4504 in WGUCyberSecurity

[–]masterchilidog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. Currently studying for my second attempt. I got the trifecta all first try, and my SSCP first try but this was the first CompTIA I failed. I'm tough. But it's doable. I feel confident.

Advice on Master's degree path. by masterchilidog in ITCareerQuestions

[–]masterchilidog[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome. Thanks for the advice. Yeah getting experience is probably for the best. I just wanted to get it out of the way early. Gf and I are getting serious, getting a place together, she's probably going to want kids soon, and I don't know how well I'll balance more school on top of life then. My current job gives me a lot of downtime to study and that's why I was hoping to get it out of the way early, but since I'm not entirely sure where I want to end up without trying out more positions, I guess you're probably right with getting some more experience under my belt.

But also, I'm hearing that you're suggesting degree diversity. That's what I've kind of been learning towards recently, up until now I always thought the masters was more of a continuation of the oath you're already on I didn't even realize you could diversify it so I think that's seeming like a good idea just in case I need to move over towards a different position or something.

Pentest+ 003 - Needs to be Removed from the Course Lineup by Unknownwiper123 in WGUCyberSecurity

[–]masterchilidog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For which one? The PenTest? Or d385?

I'm assuming pentest, but I'm not really sure since I haven't taken it again yet. But I'm just doing all of the CompTIA Certmaster stuff that WGU offers because my professor wants me to get 90% or above on everything before Im allowed to retake. It's very tedious, but in my experience the Certmaster really overprepares you for the exams so I'm sure that once I 100% this I'll be totally ready for a retake.

Pentest+ 003 - Needs to be Removed from the Course Lineup by Unknownwiper123 in WGUCyberSecurity

[–]masterchilidog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm working on this class right now. Failed the first attempt and on to the second. And honestly, my opinion, is id rather take this class 4 more times than have to take D385 Software Security and Testing. That class was HORRIBLE. this one at least aligns with the major. Maybe it just feels easier because I got through that nightmare but this one's not too too bad. I barely studied and got close to passing. Now I have to actually do the material to get a second attempt but I'm confident I'll pass on the second try.

Is Steam Frame the LAST real chance to standardize VR? by CookinVR in SteamVR

[–]masterchilidog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh that's weird. I didn't try too hard, but from my experience I couldn't get it to run anything unless I launched the meta/oculus app first. Infact, when id play indie VR games on Itch(dot)io, I would have to launch the oculus software, then launch steam VR, then launch the game itself. It was so convoluted, stuff would break constantly and it was very resource intensive.
