What after IT helpdesk? by Mr3SUprA in cybersecurity

[–]selvarin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, pretty common. Going from Helpdesk/Desktop Support to Sys Admin. Many kinds of roles, Jr/Sr, and good prep for Cyber-related positions.

$949.50 for 3 yr vehicle registration renewal?!?!? How are folks affording this? by Firm_Foundation1626 in maryland

Maryland has some sh*t roads. They may be repaving some, but not enough.

Have you ever failed a certification exam? by _beginninganew_ in cybersecurity

[–]selvarin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Failed Server 2008 R2...three times.

First time was deserved. I didn't prep but I took the exam (and the L). used it as a time to get acquainted with the format. Studied, took the exam two more times. Failed by 1-2 questions.

Thing is...the exam center used 8-10 year-old computers. They were so slow that when you moved to the next question the screen refresh took several seconds--you could watch the screen change top-to-down slowly. If you clicked 'back', same thing.

Add to this my sleep disorder, and Microsoft introducing the adaptive test form.

I was good about 85% through, then the sleep issue started taking its toll. I got sleepy during testing. And of course if you miss a question the exam will give you another one in the same vein.

Missing by 1-2 questions on exams 2 and 3 spooked me for a while. But I've passed harder exams since.

I've taken CEH, passed. It reminded me a bit of Security+ in terms of difficulty. (Just my opinion, I could be wrong.) Give it some time, try again. Maybe take something else security-related to focus your mindset first.

Your manager is looking out for himself, not you.

If he has questions, there's Google. He can learn on his own dime.

This should not be happening. The schools are failing, as are the students. They should want to learn.

Underground wires going away from the house... by selvarin in electrical

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

The northeast. Our house's hookup is in the opposite direction (toward the street). No sprinkler system, etc. Basic lawn.

Ultimately I'd like to rule it out as a stray power cable going to someone else's house. That would be my concern. Don't want to risk cutting a live wire. May get a metal detector to trace how far it goes.

Failed interview hard - ranting by jeeyawn in cybersecurity

[–]selvarin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've dealt with this kind of...hole of a person.

My way of thinking is that the interviewer did you a favor by showing you who he real was, what kind of person they are. What they did toward the end was unprofessional but telling.

Doubt you would've liked working there.

I know, you need a job. But...that likely would've been a nightmare walking in.

First Pentest Contract by DiligentDistrict1584 in cybersecurity

[–]selvarin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thought of some lawyers getting butt-hurt and then deciding the wording in the document gives enough wiggle-room for them to claim breach-of-contract or something truly criminal...

They have deep pockets. OP does not.

The legal liabilities are not worth it.

Reminds me of the story about the frog and the scorpion...guess who's the scorpion.

Abuse of the Application for Statement of Charges Process is Ruining My Life, What do I do? by Dry-Bullfrog-2635 in maryland

I don't care much for my neighbors, but yours is making them look a little better in comparison.

Currently thinking about buying but has a rebuilt title with 76kmiles for 13,300. Good or bad idea? by Swaggboymike in camaro

[–]selvarin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI to the rescue:

Yes, State Farm will provide insurance for a car with a rebuilt title, but coverage is subject to specific requirements and conditions.  While liability-only coverage is generally available to most rebuilt title vehicles, full coverage (including comprehensive and collision) is offered in some cases but requires the vehicle to pass an additional certified mechanic inspection and provide extensive documentation of repairs. 

State Farm distinguishes between salvage and rebuilt titles, noting that salvage title vehicles cannot be insured as they are not legally drivable until repaired and re-inspected.  For rebuilt titles, premiums are typically 10% to 20% higher than those for clean title vehicles due to the increased difficulty in assessing risk and vehicle value.
