Apparently the LTT video was taken down, but it showed him passing it but acknowledging that after the video went live his cert would probably be revoked since the video was basically playing “I’m not touching you” with CompTIA.

lol even without having seen the video I can tell you for sure that loving with cert companies is a horrible idea and you do not want to do it if you ever want to write another cert again

He “secretly” filmed it and talked about some test questions and then went all “allegedly” and “in theory” but showed his staff doing so

Like two decades ago, I bothered with poo poo like CCNA and some MCSEs. Turns out there were PDFs with all questions and their answers, and these were pretty current. Certs were worth gently caress-all back then and probably still are.

They still function and a bluestamp for HR though, so that's their "worth" - if you're looking for a job.

BlankSystemDaemon posted:CCNA absolutely is, but you're not gonna get a CCNP the same way because there's practical labs (which isn't to say they're as hard as they should be, as they don't have a 50/50 pass-fail split). The teacher of the CCNA preparatory course I started for giggles (and then abandoned in the middle) didn't even pass it. Like lmao.

I would love to see a screenshot from the video because based on where LMG is I'm pretty sure I know without seeing it what absolute sketchy dive of a test centre they went to in order to be able to film inside it lol

They didn’t, they used a remote certification option where they basically gave a proctor a video tour of the entire room they were in to prove that the wallpaper wasn’t answer sheets or whatever, and ran on a dedicated clean machine with no screen recording software. They filed Linus via a pinhole camera in the ceiling, IIRC, and they never showed the screen of the actual test, just mocks of questions that were encountered.

They’re going to get even more hosed now. What even is the point of this video? There’s nothing interesting here.

Same as the point of every other LTT video. Make poo poo up and/or skirt the line of scamming and make life difficult for everyone else as a result.

Listen, I won't hold a grudge against someone who's apparently made it their life goal to get ancient, dead OSes running on as many things as they can. Why does Doom get to be the only one with that trend?

I've said this in every thread that will have it, but I daily drove BeOS for quite a while in college and it was legitimately a good alternative to Windows 98/2000. It was extremely performant and reliable

Rabid Snake posted:I was hoping not daisy chaining would put less stress on the adapter but im stupid with these kind of things. I remember reading the manual for my card and it said to use three separate PCI express adapters intead of daisy chaining. False sense of security I guess The manual says not to use daisy chain pcie power cables for the same reason they say you need a 750w PSU: some people buy lovely PSUs. On a good PSU, using the daisy chain connectors is fine. Each connector is rated for 150W, 2 makes 300W, there are 3 current wires so 100W per wire, no problem for 16 or 18 awg wire. On a cheap PSU where they use 20 gauge wire and lovely connectors and optimistic math, it's more likely to have a problem. Either your wires and connectors are unhappy with 300W going through them, or the PSU has a bad multi-rail setup that can't deliver that power but they include the daisy-chain cables anyways. If you have a good PSU, and your 12VHPWR connector is firmly plugged and not in a useless "clean build aesthetic" adapter, you're fine. kliras posted:the out-of-spec power fluctuations of the 30-series scared a lot of people by tripping older psu's, but the 40-series rectified it, so it shouldn't be as precarious as it used to fixed that for you. I think it's important to say that the 3080 problems were nvidia going way out of spec in transients, not PSUs with conservative (good) OCP.

FWIW the 90 degree cables from cable mod have not had an elevated failure rate. It's purely the 90 degree adapter that you plug a 12VHPWR cable into. Introducing a PCB into the mix has caused all manner of problems.

Yeah, at the end of the day, it's essential to make sure that there is as little strain on the GPU's connector as possible, whether that's providing additional cable slack, not using adapters which can introduce their own issues, etc. The 12VHPWR connector as currently implemented though is still a bad design and the current PCI-SIG revisions that have been incorporated do not go far enough.

Splorange posted:I fucken love this. Is this DYI or off the shelf? My guess is that it's a CableMod cable, as they make ones with right-angle ends on them. They are also the same company that made adapters that were all recalled. However their right-angle cable's haven't had a single issue as far as I know, or that they have mentioned.

Splorange posted:I fucken love this. Is this DYI or off the shelf? This is a custom ordered cable from cablemods like the others have said. I have a modular power supply so this one is custom built for my pinout and involves no adapters. As others have said the non adapter cablemod 12vhp seem to not have any problems, whereas the adapter msi shipped with this jutted out so far my case window was pinching it and made it impossible to close and keep the bend within the recommended angle.
