    I just updated to 1903 yesterday
     
    EDIT:
    I just remembered that I have an Intel CPU so I dont have to worry about this since I have bigger problems

    Does it "feel" low end. Its still a pretty darn capable CPU

    Honestly I’d buy an old switch off eBay and just use that, any old layer3 switch will do as long as it’s not so old it runs catos!
     
    however when it comes to passing the exam you really don’t need any hands on experience it’s all very hypothetical. And infact often hands on can harm you as for the practical sections you have to solve them using certain commands that in the real world you wouldn’t bother with and you’d just do a ‘show run’
     
    as for subnetting, again practical doesn’t really help it’s all maths. Best advise anyone ever fave me is learn how to draw out a grid of subnetting like a cheat sheet. Then the first thing you do when you get into the exam is draw out your cheat sheet and use that to look up all the answers for the rest of the exam!

    The concept of submerging is not too difficult to grasp watch enough videos on it and practice and you'll get the hang of it. Like what was already stated, packet traces will get you realistic experience with cisco routers and switches.

    Try getting your hands on Packet Tracer and a few IOS files. IIRC it's behind a paywall. It's been a long while since I did my CCNA.
    GNS3 is also an alternative.

    Bitcolbyin reacted to Semper in Over a 150 Riot Games Employees Stage Walkout Over Forced Arbitration & Sexist Culture   
    and women are liars.

    Neither of these hold true without gross misuse and generalizing.

    Arbitration is a double-edged sword. It can be a great thing, but can also be very easily abused. I don't know enough on the subject to make comment either way, I don't have the time to invest into it. I do have to take a moment for pause though, as i'm fairly certain that if they become too much of a burden for Riot, it wouldn't take but a few minutes to flood their HR with new applicants for these positions.

    Vega 56 has 8gb + HBCC (That can very helpful for what you're using it for), and costs exactly 300. I'd get that if I were you. Outperforms everything at 300 or lower:

    Bitcolbyin reacted to RejZoR in RTX 2080TI and 1440p at 144Hz   
    Btw, people think if you have a 144Hz monitor you need to run games at 144fps to use it. Well, that ain't true. If game runs at 120fps or 100fps you'll still have far better experience than on any 60Hz monitor. Not to mention it's harder to experience tearing although it's hardly an issue with Adaptive/Fast V-Sync...
  9. Agree
    Bitcolbyin reacted to nlz242 in RTX 2080TI and 1440p at 144Hz   
    You are mixing two different use cases.
    Stable 144 fps is a must for esport titles, nothing else.
    You can achieve smooth and stable gameplay at much lower frame rates. If you want to play AAA with all the eye candies turned on, 144 fps is not a requirement.

    Of course, we would all love to play games at 1440 (or better, at 4k!), 144fps with all eye-candies, that would be the dream... but the technology is not there yet.

    Bitcolbyin reacted to Delicieuxz in You own the software that you purchase, and any claims otherwise are urban myth or corporate propaganda   
    That's right, you don't own the code, which is a part of the intellectual property.
     
    However, an instance of that code is also called "the game", just as "the software" can refer to the IP or licensed instances of the IP. And so, there is a matter of semantics at hand.
     
    The goods, even as perpetual licenses with each granting an all-encompassing eternal right to use an instance of the IP including all property rights over that instance and the right to resell it per the holder's sole discretion, is fully indistinguishable from owning a non-reproduceable copy of the IP. The perpetual license and the ownership of an instance of the software IP are one and the same thing.
     
    As the perpetual license is sold, bought, and owned, so is the non-reproduceable instance of the software IP that license represents.
     
    Modern licenses are almost always perpetual. If you aren't paying a recurring subscription fee to keep renewing your software license, it's perpetual.
     
    Contract laws do not allow a clause that a license can be terminated unilaterally by the publisher for any reason that wasn't pre-established before the contract was agreed to. Such a claim would be invalid and you won't see such a claim in any EULA that was written by a legal expert. In fact, I think you are unlikely to find such a claim in any modern EULA.
     
    Such a claim flies in the face of the logic of selling something: Once something is sold the party that sold it no longer retains any decision-making authority over it. So, no publisher could claim to invalidate a license that they don't own because they already sold it to somebody.
     
    That might have been one of the many made-up clauses that EULAs in the past have had before publishers realized that such a claim is invalid. As I've written, EULAs are not laws, and many times they aren't written by legal experts - and even when they are they are commonly filled with wording meant to suggest invalid things without outright claiming them.
     
    Other old-school EULA claims that you don't see anymore because they were never legal in the first place include:
     
    - By using this software you waive all rights to sue the publisher or developer
    - You may not reverse-engineer this software
    - this license is non-transferable
     
     
    Another one that is mostly invalid but which you might see in modern EULAs (I think it was in the Windows 10 EULA until recently): If you're a US citizen then you may only sue the publisher or developer in a particular state. Various states in the USA specifically forbid any contractual claims that violate consumer rights, and the right to sue for damages and to seek justice.
     
    As I said, I think that the Windows 10 EULA used to contain that mostly-invalid clause, though the Windows 10 EULA I've just looked at appears to have modified that clause to be more ambiguous and suggestive rather than declarative:
     
    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/Useterms/Retail/Windows/10/UseTerms_Retail_Windows_10_English.htm
     
     
    It used to claim that US citizens may only sue Microsoft in either California or Washington... I don't exactly remember which state though I thought it was California. The what I think is updated language is merely suggestive that people may (not may only) sue Microsoft in Washington... which is meant to get people to assume that that's the only state they can sue Microsoft in, when that isn't the reality.
     
    As I wrote in the OP, EULAs are also used to trick people into assuming things that aren't necessarily true through strongly-suggestive though ambiguous wording, through intimidation by appearance of authority (despite EULAs not being laws), and through legally-indefensible claims.
     
    It was against Microsoft's interest to claim that people could only bring lawsuits against Microsoft in a particular state because that is something outside of Microsoft's authority to decide and it was invalid for Microsoft to assert anything in that regard. So, Microsoft has changed the wording to merely sound as if people can't sue the company in states other than Washington, even though the EULA is not actually claiming such, and such wouldn't be true if it were claimed by Microsoft.
