Hey Everyone - Heres a probably really stupid question for you today: I just bought a used Macbook Pro (15" Core i7 2011) for dev work on my iPad and to test unity games on my iPad. The only downside is it comes with 4GB RAM. I know that the ram is standard DDR3 SODIMM, but you can get "Certified to work with Macbook" RAM. I'm curious - does it have to be certified to work in a Macbook or can I just buy any kit of SODIMM DDR3 (as long as it matches the required specification.) Thanks.

I'm in the market for some new wireless gaming headsets between 100-150 Euros. I was looking through Razer, HyperX and Corsair when something caught my eye, it was Discord certification. I looked it up and found out that it is a certification process where they try out the headset and the microphone extensively, and if it fails, it doesn't get certified. The Razer headsets seem the most compelling to me, but they aren't Discord certified. I want to buy the Razer headset but I'm worried that the microphone won't work properly and the setup process will be complicated. Since I'm a newcomer to the PC platform, and I thought that all headsets were plug-and-play, I'm scared of having another fiasco with the headset (Afterglow sucks anyway) (not being recognized by the Pc, microphone sounding really tinny and not working, buzzing). I'm asking if Discord certification matters and what headset should I buy with an easy setup process? The headset can be wired or wireless, driver updates are allowed and value and experience with the headset is appreciated. -
So am looking for a study partner(s) to study with for the comptia A+, I am looking to take my Cert In mid-January. I have current gone over the material and am looking to help fill in my weak spots and get prepared for the exam. I am looking for a study partner that would like to meet up online in some chat room (voice or video cam). I like to meet up once a week for 2 -3 hours to quiz each other with home brewed or googled questions applying to the A+. I also open to other forms of studying. I am in the Eastern time zone ( UTC -5), depending on how many people are really interested we can go from there on setting up a weekly time slot/schedule we aim for doing the study sessions.

So I want to get certified so that I can work for my uncle and being certified is a requirement. While I know a lot of hardware stuff and generally speaking I know a lot I am not yet ready for the full test. I was wondering if anyone had taken the test and whether or not they had any tips. I need somewhere where I can learn a lot of the little things.

After being given my walking papers this week at my current employment I am seriously considering a new career path. I am 36 years old with a wife and toddler with no debt other than our home and living expenses. I currently have no degree or certification to my name other than my private pilots license which is useless without a commercial rating. I took some courses in aviation wishing to become a pilot but balked when flying alone was costing more than 1500 a month. Over the years I began working with private aviation first fueling and servicing aircraft before moving on to dispatching and selling private charters. Aviation is a rather volatile industry, especially private aviation as it is tied to the economy. With things being slow now and no job offerings I am looking at taking a major pay cut by going back to servicing aircraft again. Thus I am considering moving my interest in computers from just passive to a possible career path. I have a local community college right down the street from me that offers a good variety of courses in computer sciences. I will supply a link at the bottom of this post to the college website with the courses in question. What I would greatly appreciate is any wisdom my fellow LTT members can bestow upon me to aid in deciding a good course to start off on. I have taken the time to searched the forums and read that many of you tend to say a certification is the best course for getting started and to skip college altogether. Since I am not sure which certifications are for what sector of IT I would greatly appreciate your input on where to start. Any reliable websites or areas that explain what is needed or how to get started would be very welcome as well. As for what sector i am looking to get into I am undecided at the moment. I would like something fairly simply to get started and then see where my strengths are and work from there. Again thank you for your time and imput ACC: Alvin Community College

So, before I start I also want to know where you would go if you were me or where you plan on going in your own careers. But I also want some opinions because I'm torn between two options. So, I am currently 16 years of age, in high school (New Zealand) doing both L3 and L2 computer science (don't worry about L2 L3.) Which essentially means it's like a course provided by the local university to help me and other students understand computer science. I've always been a networking guy, I've always enjoyed routing and switching and even have my CCNA Routing and Switching certification. The problem is that I was originally planning on going to college which isn't as much theory but more practical (Cisco Certifications, Vmware, Apache, SQL etc.). But, while doing this computer science studies in my cs classes I'm finding I also enjoy the theory. We've been doing things like FSMs, representing data using binary, formal languages, complexity, algorithms etc. I always though math was very boring, but I've started enjoying it ever since this year. So I'm wondering what would be the best bet for my career and my enjoyment? Doing practical stuff and get my certifications, or do theory and science at University. I'm torn between the two because one person says that networking is dead, while the other says it's alive, and one person says I might never like networking and the other says that computer science leaves my options open etc etc. So, I've come to this forum to ask what you believe the best bet for me is. I'm probably going to head into the network security area or maybe down the system analyst route. Not sure yet, but I like both of them and am wondering which would be the best for me. Another thing to consider is that I've never actually worked in a real networking environment, meaning I've never physically wired buildings and installed new routers. Although I have used GNS3 and Cisco Packet Tracer. Thanks guys, I really hope you can give me some input because in the next year or so I may end up going to Uni or College and don't want to get in a mess.

Hi everybody, I am just about to take my CompTIA A+ test certification in a couple of weeks and I am trying to pick people's brains on what I should work on next. I enjoy hardware and software more than networking. I don't enjoy databases. I am a computer science student who graduates in a couple of months. I don't want to do programming. I think I could ideally see myself as like a elevated Systems Admin or maybe even working with a device manufacturer in terms of consulting: hard drives, memory, etc. A friend has recommended the CCNA for networking cred and I definitely understand how that would be useful for an employer. Microsoft certifications were another recommendation. Are there any certs you might recommend that would fulfill my desire work more with hardware and software? Thanks for any advice you could give.

UL, the fine people who make sure your computers and electronics don't catch on fire and explode have come up with a way to certify hoverboards. Certification will include electronic systems such as drive train, batteries and chargers as well as vibration and mold testing. These regulations and tests couldn't come sooner, "recently, after a spat of fires, regulators and hoverboard-makers took a few jabs at each other over safety standards." All this should ensure that new hoverboards won't catch fire anytime soon.

Hello all, Long time lerker, first time poster here. I am looking at taking my ComptTIA A+ 901 and 902 certification exams. My questions for the forums is, would you all recommend the Complete Study Guide or the Complete Review Guide. I can buy either or I just want to know the opinion of others. The big advantage on the Review Guide is it hits the key points of the test, where the Study Guide covers everything. Thank you for your time.

Hello, So I want to start working on getting my CompTIA A+ certification. I work full time and I'm not interested in reducing my hours to go to a class to get it (Also because there isn't really any short term classes in the area I live in). I already have a natural background in the field because of my interests as well as some experience building my own PCs. So my question is, what online/e-learning website or program do you recommend to prep for the exam? Right now I'm just looking at the course offered through CompTIA's marketplace "CompTIA A+: Complete eLearning Courseware" but I was wondering if anyone has better suggestions.

I am looking to update my certs and get a bunch of new ones. I currently have old versions of A+, Net+, Security+, ITIL, MCP (Win XP), CCENT. I have looked around on the web for a while, and it's hard to get straight answers about a lot of the course websites. I am looking for simply good videos for the easier courses, but I want labs for any of the courses that require much more hands on knowledge. I would do some bootcamps, but none are offered in my area, and I can't take the time off work to go to the nearest major city. I have tried to take the CCNA test a couple times, and I always get tripped up on the performance demonstration questions; since I can study a book, and watch a video, but can't find any good labs. I built myself a small CCNA lab a while back but I had no idea how to test myself on it. And it's hard to break it in such a way that I don't know how I broke it. So I can't really test myself in fixing it. Does anyone know of any good websites for getting training that also offers decent labs? Or at least where to get labs? Or if there are any night time online bootcamps or something. I am not against paying for assistance, but would rather not shell out insane amounts, ~$100 a month is about what I am willing to pay, unless the service really is that awesome. I find it rather hard to teach myself what I don't know, since I most often don't realize what it is I don't know. And it can be hard to make mock tests or labs for yourself if you don't actually truly understand the material. My immediate Cert goals are to get updated Net+ and Sec+, and then to get MS server and win 7/8 certs, along with CCNA. Thanks for any help. -

I'm currently a high school senior with little to no funds for online ventures, but I hope to find some reputable certification in my desired field. I thought that this would be a good place to ask, given that the vast majority of the forum-goers have undergone some kind of computer / IT related training. I know that most 'free' certs done really have any merit, but I still rather be completely sure that there is no free options out there. It isn't really necessary, entering my final year at high school, to have these certifications but I have some annoyingly extra free time during the summer that i'd like to fill. My field, generalized, is computer science and information technology; but im leaning more towards Computer System Analyst or Database Admin. Any help would be appreciated.

Well here it is, I am planning on going into IT infrastructure. I was wondering if any of you wonderful people out there have any suggestions for excellent study resources/books for things such as CompTIA certifications across the board, as well as Windows/Microsoft professional certifications? Also are there any other certifications that I should think about as well? For clarification this is for the United States, I'm thinking there might be different certifications in different countries. Also any fun books to read for me to learn the workings of processors and other such things? I think it would just be fun and interesting to learn that. I'm talking down to buses and things like that. :lol:
