As someone with an Associate's and struggling to land even an entry level position, your situation is extremely validating. Through trial and error, I figured more certifications would help, which lands me to where I am now. A lot of the information on these tests are way below what I even have learned just being passionate about computers before schooling! Thanks for sharing your path. Sounds like the piece of papers are an unfortunate part to landing a position, unless I get a chance to prove skills technically instead. Maybe these courses are boring to me because I have seen more in depth videos on LTT and learned more by Googling about it after and playing with tech at home. I still stand by my point that in a world with unlimited resources, LMG would do this pre-cert learning process better!

The CompTIA exam is a pre-requisite on so many applications and job postings. I truly do not understand why, since so many companies require technical tests as part of the interview process. Unfortunately, that doesn't change the fact that it opens doors. I agree for LMG it would probably be a huge endeavor. It is a space that could use a shake-up for sure though

I've been studying for the A+ and Network+ exams. While the materials available are great, I personally think LTT could really provide a great format for these video learning courses like the ones found on sites like LinkedIn Learning. I wonder if LTT has considered using Floatplane for a service like this. I would definitely pay to not have to watch outdated videos, just because the content is still *vaguely* relevant. Plus, LMG videos are far more interactive and entertaining. Just a thought

^ This. I'm really not looking forward to the PUBLIC having to come to a consensus on what happened either

Even without the quote, the dialogue highlights that people in important positions are not knowledgeable enough about technology and AI in general - at least to me

Original article from Baltimore Banner: (Alleged remarks may be triggering)! https://www.thebaltimorebanner.com/education/k-12-schools/pikesville-high-principal-eric-eiswert-NT7K7N4K6RDEJNL5Z7ULTEG7VY/ How the heck do we tell what's real and what isn't when some public figures at smaller scales don't have larger platforms to compare to?

Update: The thermal issue seemed to be mainly fixed by simply modifying my P400S case to stick a 120mm fan onto the front panel to get rid of the ridiculous choke for the air intake into the radiator. It seems I lost the lottery on my GPU core as overclocks have not changed, but I was able to up the memory clock to 1150 MHz and my thermals are much better sitting around 55C and coolant temps roughly around 45C but never more than 50C in any scenario. As far as FPS goes, not much of a change, but as long as titles run at High settings within Freesync range, guess I can't be too upset

I haven't reseated the block since the install a few months ago. I'll make that a plan along with some updated fans and see how it does there. My hope is better thermals = better overclock to reach those kinds of frames at Med-High settings

I hadn't thought about that. I can feel the hot airflow through the front of the case so I assumed they were doing well enough. A change of fans may help with temps, do you think the thermals are any sort of a limiting factor here though?

I had some thought about the CPU frequency being a bottleneck at first, but the utilization is typically below 40% and can reach 100 FPS easily in games such as Overwatch without much tweaking at all with Ultra or Epic details

Currently have the following build: MSI Tomahawk Arctic B350 Motherboard AMD Ryzen 5 2600 @ 3.95 GHz AMD RX Vega 64 Reference w/EKWB 16GB Corsair Vengeance 3000MHz DDR4 128 GB M.2 Inland Boot Drive for Windows 10 1 TB Inland Sata SSD for Games 3 TB 7200 RPM WD HDD Thermaltake 750W PSU Phanteks P400S TG with a slightly modified front panel for airflow Acer ED7 Freesync 34" 3440x1440 Monitor at 100Hz Cooling Setup: XSPC Fittings, Hard Tubing, X4 Pump/Res XSPC Thin 360mm Radiator XSPC Raystorm AM4 CPU Block EKWB RX Vega Reference GPU Block Thermaltake Temperature and Flow Sensor 6x Aigo C-Series Case Fans THE CONCERN: Currently the GPU is getting close to 68C while gaming and struggling to maintain a decent overclock (Can't hold above 1640MHz core; HBM2 is stable at 1050). The coolant temperature is usually between 48 and 52C. Is there a concern that there isn't adequate cooling to get the Vega card to perform at 100 FPS at my monitors resolution? Could it be a PSU concern? Or is the Vega card not able to pull that kind of performance at my monitor's resolution (3440x1440) in games like Dead by Daylight or Fallout 76 at High or even medium details?

Noted. moving topic here:

Able to reset your monitor back to factory defaults?

Okay, so looking at the picture, if it's clearer blown up, could your card be using Super Resolutionand that's causing problems? I have an AMD card and I know when I connect my 1080p tv to it it usually turns Virtual Super Resolution on. After some searching, I think it would be called DSR for Nvidia in the control panel
