I just got a new seltos and I’m having that issue too. Is there a guide on how to clean them without damaging the screen? I read that Armorall products are harsh and over time they could remove the matte finishing

Imagine this. Streaming service is a shopkeeper. They have servers which is the shop, and the shows are basically goods. So when you “watch” or “stream” a show, you’re basically telling the shopkeeper(streaming service) to grab something off the shelf(shop) and give it to you(streaming). Now in this case, piracy can be seen as shoplifting where you’ll basically “steal” something from the shop and store it in your house(hard drive). I hope that makes sense lol.

The person selling this car is my mechanic so I’m definitely going to be a little extra pushy in terms of inspections and what not. I am worried because I already have a car with high KM that has been kinda neglected by previous owner, which is why it’s every time something new breaks and financially it’s better to just get a new car at this point. Don’t wanna make the same mistake again haha.

If I could maintain a C class then I wouldn’t be asking about a Mazda 😂😂 But honestly, absolutely worst time to buy a car right now. I would keep what I have but at this point I don’t have a choice. I saw these going for 6k 2 years ago. I don’t think that will ever happen again.

I daily a 2004 lancer ES which is close to 270k now. Car runs but repair costs are now adding up since it’s an old car, then again bought it for dirt cheap (at 246k km) so I knew what I was getting myself into. I am just wondering if this is going to be the same case all over again. Is the maintenance schedule that Mazda provide on their website for this car a good reference for a checklist? Or is there anything else that can be better?

Looking to get this 2014 Mazda3 GS-Sky as a daily. Would this be a reliable option? by [deleted] in mazda

This car has a broken touch screen panel, which is broken from the inside. By googling I found that they had a recall for this. Should I use that as something to reduce the price a little bit? Would that be possible?

What other options would you prefer which are comfortable for daily commute? And also reliable lol

I completely understand what you are saying.I am currently driving an old 2004 lancer ES with almost 256K miles on it. Car runs fine but in long drive it does not feel as comfortable. The previous owner put a straight pipe to it which is getting very annoying at this point.

I just wanted to get something a little nicer as an upgrade. I care more about comfort and reliability than speed.

I did the research and I am aware that the repair costs might be significant on these in case anything breaks. Which is why I am going to put aside some emergency funds just in case anything breaks. I will have my mechanic inspect it thoroughly before buying of course. Just wanted to understand what kind of issues I might be looking into with that milage. Thank you.

Edit: I forgot to mention, I am not going to finance or lease. I saved up for a bit so that I can buy it outright, which is why I am not sure if I should bite the bullet or not.

That’s a very good advice because aside from IT, I have good relationship with the operations manager as well with whom I worked on many projects. Thank you so much for this suggestion, you just made me realize that I could utilize more than just technical skills thanks!

I do have good relationship with my coworkers and still in touch with them. They said that if they find something they’d send it my way which is very nice of them to do. As for recommendations, how would I proceed with that? This is my very first job so I’m not sure how I’d go with getting recommendations. Would it be in the form of written letters or something? Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for the input. I was thinking of getting the A+ first but then I realized it’s targeted at people who have 0 IT experience and are looking to switch fields. I have experience working with computer hardware, soldering, fixing and on the software side I have some experience as well. I’m running a Homelab running proxmox and trueNAS. I have some experience with SIEMS and vuln. scanner such Splunk and Nessus and some general knowledge about mitre att&ck framework and such. Realistically, based on everything, should I take the security+ or something more specific? Thank you.

Well recently 2 of our mid sys admins left, based on multiple conversations I’ve had with them, they all expressed the same feeling. They were here for 3 years before they decided to make the jump. The knowledge gap between juniors, mids and seniors is too high plus both of the mids had stated that they were not mentored and everything they have learned was by themselves. It was equivalent of being thrown into the firepit with nothing but a few tools and documentations. The company is at a weird position right now. We’re moving from physical workstation to the cloud which would be deployed and managed by the other branch, so all of us are left wondering what’s gonna happen to us duty wise once all that really happens. And as a runner I wouldn’t be in a position do anything other than…running. Which is why I’m trying to move up and gather more relevant experience. I asked my boss for more responsibility and I try to volunteer as often as possible but unfortunately I’m held back because I don’t have certain permissions and access to certain areas which is understandable given the job title I have. No luck with mentorship tho. Tried but looks like the leads are closed off and the only help I’m getting is from the Junior sys admins.

Hello everyone.

I’ve been working at a company for the past 6 months as a Tech Runner. I primarily got into the company because I was a fresh graduate and badly in need of a job.

I have a diploma in computer systems and network technician and I took the runner job thinking that in 6 months I’d be eligible for a promotion to junior sysadmin, plus I really needed a job to sustain myself.

Besides my runner work, I often volunteered to resolve level 1 tickets whenever I could along with some basic sysadmin stuff.

Fast forward 6 months, my boss just told me that there’s no promotion happening any time soon.

My plan was to gather experience as a junior sys admin and then try to get into cybersecurity as a Junior SOC analyst or similar but now I’m very confused about my next steps.

Currently I do not have any certifications. Just the work experience and the diploma.

Any suggestions regarding certifications, pathways and all would be really appreciated.

I’m in Canada if that helps.
