IT instructor at a high school. When I started in the industry I had nothing but knowledge from personal tinkering. I currently teach classes on everything from ITF+ through Security +. Through knowledge gained from industry partners and vendors I can say that it’s not always required but someone with those certs will usually get more attention than you on applications. If money and time are an issue I can recommend TestOut’s library license. For around $900 a year you get unlimited access to a wide range of training materials including the entry level ITF+, A+, Net+, and Security+. I’ve been using this platform with my students, and while it has its shortcomings, it’s one of the better tools I’ve encountered. They are also owned by CompTIA so the content is aligned with their tests. If you have any questions, I’d be happy to have a chat. Career education is my passion.
I’ve been wanting to get some humorous quotes embroidered on my throw pillows, and I’ve only got a short list so far. It’s easiest and cheapest to get them all done at once, so I’m trying to come up with a list of about 10-15 to select from before I send them off. Ideally, they’d be vaguely “life advice” but...

Foil hat time. Twitter was at one point a huge communications platform. People got news and opinions on daily happening almost immediately. He has successfully purchased that platform and destroyed the faith people had in it, in time for some of the most controversial events in recent history.
Which is where my conspiracy theory falls apart. It mainly rests on fact that most of these decisions seem deliberate. Even an idiot by this point might start worrying about the loss of money. As much as he has, 40bil is considerable.
I just finished my Zoom65 V2 with kailh box jades and cheap Amazon caps. The sound is ok but I want something “deeper” and louder from the alpha keys. What do y’all suggest? Pulling out the foam in the bottom of the case and underside of the PCB definitely helped. I’ve done the tape mod and plan to do the holee mod when...
I am curious if any iOS users are experiencing this same thing but I am seeing when I am looking at some posts where it’s an image post and I either look at the thumbnail or click on the image, that the image has only loaded like 5-10% of the image at the top.
