  1. That's my experience with it. It's all down to experience with toolsets and certifications, no one seems to care about your education, unless it's really recent. I enjoy it, plus it's industry agnostic, I can work in any industry as basically every company has IT requirements and IT security is a growing part of that. It's constantly changing, new attack methods are constantly popping up. Currently looking into methods and policy changes to deal with AI/Deep fake voice calls to service desks. It's a method on the rise, getting service desk to just reset someone's password and MFA method, even if they're a known person by faking their voice.
  2. Have you studied for it? Even with really good knowledge, there's a load of stuff in the A+ that is easy to get wrong as you never really need to know it. Best to take some practice tests online to see where you may fall short. Can't say for North America. I'm a Cyber Security Engineer and I don't have a degree, never even been asked about my education outside of my very first position. May be different in NA, but once you've started working in the industry, it all becomes experience and certifications, not a degree that will most likely already be outdated by the time you complete it. Yeah, data entry is much more likely to be taken by AI or outsourced. The more technical stuff will just evolve with new/different roles that AI creates
  3. 1. Really depends what part of IT you're going into. From my experience CompTIA A+ isn't taken very seriously. There's a lot of irrelevant stuff covered and little practical usage for it. If you have an employer that will pay for it, worth doing as many as you can, but not really worth the cost for A+. Microsoft's Role based certs are generally a good start and are widely respected. CCNA is widely respected as well. 2. Can't say for North America specifically. Most people start out on the service/help desk and end up specifiying as they go. I started on the service desk and now work in IT Security. If you're really interested in the hardware side, you may want to try going into a field engineer position, but they're not super common. As things move more and more to the cloud, the bar to entry is going up as you're looking at working in Microsoft, Google and Amazon datacentres as an end goal. 3. Unlikely. The roles are changing, to managing systems that are AI based, but the roles are still very much required. In IT Security, we're in the process of deploying some AI powered systems to defend against AI based attacks. AI's fixing some things, but also creates new things to manage within the same roles. You may be a bit dissapointed though, as honestly most IT jobs don't really involve dealing with servers and networking equipment much. Most servers you'll work with in support/admin roles will be virtualised and that is going for networking stuff as well now.
  4. Some Christmas desserts; Baumkuchen and Tiramisu. Kitchen's a complete mess, sounds like something future me will need to sort out when I'm back.

      I have no idea what the first one is, all I can think about is that before the top coat it looks a lot like your pfp 😂

       

      Tiramisu is elite though, incredibly good dessert 😍

  5. That measures input latency, not response times. I imagine OP actually wants to measure input latency, but still, they are different things.
  6. The N300 will have some NAS specific features, where it can handle running alongside other drive for long periods, but from a heat and vibration perspective. But for desktop use, you're really not going to see much difference. Both have 512/256MB cache, depending on the capacity of the drive. I'd say go for the N300 for the 1 year longer warranty (3 years vs 2 years) if they're similar in price.

      Yes, Nvidia and their dipshit pricing.

  8. Top one under the cover is 4.0, bottom one is 3.0. It's in the manual https://download.gigabyte.com/FileList/Manual/mb_manual_z590m-gaming-x_e.pdf?v=ef801a2350383174fc10d778f0ee7da4
  9. It wasn't that long ago when under screen finger print scanners were a sticking point for development, but now they're everywhere. Under/behind screen cameras will come, or some other innovation.
  10. CPU prices rarely go up. Typically they'll go down over time and motherboard prices start going up when a platform is EoL.
  11. When I moved house, I just removed the GPU and CPU cooler and moved it that way. Doesn't take much effort and better than trying to use something to pack it inside the case
  12. KB5029351 is a CU preview, so the latest Windows Creation Tool ISO/download shouldn't include it as it's not in GA yet. Also, Windows Creation Tools will download the latest ISO version available rather than a specific version, so using an old version wouldn't do anything. Just don't install it. Preview updates shouldn't install automatically. If it does, just uninstall the update after.
  13. Refurbished ones almost certainly will be decommed ones. Will just be a seller that gets them in bulk from business and then resells them.
  14. If you're using a Microsoft account, you must use a password (or some Windows Hello option, like a PIN or fingerprint). You'd need to use a local account, which you can remove the password for.
