…gimme the news, I’ve got a bad case of luuuuuvin you!

A+ Cert in IT is fairly basic and isn’t all that useful besides a general overview of some aspects of the field. However, the most valuable portion of the cert is on troubleshooting methodology and that carries you through the rest of your career. It’s pretty common in a nutshell, try known fixes to previous issues first, then work from simple solutions (check power/cable connections, reboot, etc) to more complex solutions (reformat disk, clean wipe, etc).

The amount of times I’ve been on a million dollar salary engineering troubleshooting call and things like “checking that the credentials are working” get skipped in favor of looking for an issue in a newly written script is hilarious and happens far too frequently.

It’s not that simple solution are necessarily the most likely but that you can rule them out quickly.

It’s a skill like you say, just funny how that cert always comes to mind (it’s the entry level cert for IT for people not familiar).

Mostly true in normal cases. If you’re really talented there is a market for you, always. Idk if he falls in the category, and most cyber criminals have no shot at white hat anything but given his age and his feats I think he might be an exception.

Like PG Tips?

If you’re not going act rational, you can’t solve any problems big or small. Climate change is a big one, if you burn down your forests it will worsen climate issues in your country. You have sovereignty to do so, but it ultimately hurts your progress as well as damages the global effort to address the effects of the changing climate.

No one on this planet currently had anything to do with any of this, we actually live in year 2023 where we know the consequences of those decisions so why the does that mean we can should make the same mistakes they made hundreds of years ago…they didn’t know any better, we do so we have to do better. Is that fair? No. Is that the hand we were dealt? Unfortunately yes.

We can either whine and justify doing the same shit over and over or we can be better and utilize the knowledge we now have and a choose a more responsible route.

Yep, climate change was super well known then too, fantastic point 👍

Pretty great 2nd date in my experience, not a great idea for an initial date unless you know the person ahead of time. But can pretty quickly reveal if they can cook too!

Yep! He’s defeated Darkseid even (I mean technically it was a team effort but Batman executes the Coup De Grace).

Idk if Batman could deal with a real world Superman in our plausible semi-future scenario, but some aspects pf the character could for sure be emulated I think at a certain technological point of time :-)

What about post-emptive violence?

Lmao, yeah…these are the things I spend my days thinking about lol

Batman seems like a potentially plausible reality in the future, factoring in a fuck ton of money AND the Batcomputer, one of the most underrated aspects pf the character. Assuming he’s working with next gen tech on the computer you could plausibly consider that the Batcomputer has some incredible AI capabilities that could give his normal power set to a real world person (to a degree). It could make plans, develop new bat gadgets, research, create work out and training regiments, etc etc. Wouldn’t fit for OP’s question but someone could eventually become somewhat of a Batman in the future with enough drive and money.

I think it’s best to have a roster of accessories for EDC tbh. You choose the loadout that makes sense for what you’re doing not bringing everything everywhere every time.

Flashlight for me comes with me when it’s evening/night or there is work where it might be handy (car repair for example). But it’s not in the starting line-up just a 6th man coming off the bench frequently.

Tbh I’m fine with hackers wrecking the stupid micro transaction companies.

Think the carriers are mostly there more to say “nobody else get involved” and help prevent this from becoming a wider conflict.

I give more to charity in both time and money than you ever have, I guarantee it. Take your assumptions and pound sand.

Then donate your money to a worthy cause.

Yep just raise everyone’s taxes in the EU and US/Canada and give it to everybody else, sounds awesome.

If it helps, that money is leaving their country which is funded by a natural resource that is losing its economic value and they have nothing economically beyond that, plus will get drilled by climate change which they are responsible for in a lot of ways!

So, temporary problem :-)

Germany has some of the most interesting politics to view as an outsider.
