Hi Everyone,

I have been a long time reader of both the articles and the forums. Many of times I have had an opinion and just thought ? IF I had an account I could express them LOL

Anyways, so as my first post I was curious what the division of forum users are either,

A: Work in an IT enviroment

Or

B: Just love Computers / Electronics

Would love to hear back from people ? Myself I have been within the IT world for over 10 years.

QUESTION: Do you work in an IT enviroment or do you just enjoy computers / electronics?

I'm at uni just now doing a degree in Multimedia Technology but on my days off I fix and build computers for people in the area and also help some local businesses with setting up networks, upgrading, tech support etc. Also yes I love technology, I'm not obsessed with gadgets or anything but I love getting myself something new to play with every so often and like to keep up with current tech news. Ohh and welcome to the forums :)

Trying to get into IT because I love technology. I'm thinking about getting my Network+ and maybe even Novel certs. Currently have my IC3, but that's easy stuff.

Not sure If I would put too much in to Novell unless there is a place you want to work at really bad that still uses a lot of Novell.. Just my two cents.. If you get hired on, you will learn 100x more in two weeks than you would in a class room.. Certs are good, especially for getting that first job.. but I would focus more into Cisco (that is where the money is at) and VmWare..

Yes, I work in IT and I love technology.. I am a system admin and have a love/hate relationship with my job.. I'm sure every System Admin from middle to large companies will understand.. lol

I'm an Electrical Engineer by trade, but I do IT(ish) consulting on the side. It's relaxing and fun to work with clients.

Definitely love electronics. A big reason for becoming an Engineer was so I could afford my gf and plenty of toys for myself. :rofl:

    • Honestly that feels even more useless than it did when Win11 was first released. In 2021, the uproar was somewhat justified, but only when comparing how good we've had it since Windows 7. Prior to that, a new Windows release would often require new, or very recent hardware. Windows XP wouldn't run (in any usable way) on hardware released when it's predecessor Win98 was released (let's ignore ME). It was time to shift the goal post, and the way Microsoft did that was actually ok. People have still had another FIVE YEARS of free software support with Windows 10, and those of us who want to have used these tools to bypass the limitations, all while understanding the impacts that may have. Most laptops don't last 5 years (sadly), so now the youngest unsupported hardware is 9 years old, and apparently has another year of support with Windows 10. That's good. Meanwhile, understanding the impacts and limitations, I have my 2013 laptop running Win11 perfectly fine. The thing that's failing on it is the hardware, the 2.5" SATA cable/chip is failing and corrupting the SSDs I put in. Thankfully it has a functional M.2 sata drive that works fine!
    • iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach by Hamid Ganji iPhone 17 Pro - Image via Apple Apple is seemingly facing one of the biggest data breaches in its history, and just a few months before the official debut of the iPhone 18 Pro series, photos, a drop-test video, a supplier list, and key phone components have reportedly been leaked by hackers. Last week, we reported that Tata Electronics, an Apple supplier and iPhone producer in India, was hit by a data breach. As a result, it was reported that more than 200,000 trade secrets and confidential documents belonging to Apple and Tesla were stolen by the ransomware group World Leaks. According to Reuters, the group has now leaked supplier lists, component details, and photos of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models on the dark web. One of the materials leaked by the hackers is a drop-test video of the iPhone 18 Pro, which is due to launch this September. The phone is shown in a gray color and has the same familiar design we saw on last year's iPhone 17 Pro series. The device also appears to be quite durable, though it seems to be thicker than last year's model. One possible explanation is that Apple may be using a larger battery in the iPhone 18 Pro series. Moreover, Reuters says it has seen at least six documents mapping many components in the iPhone 18 Pro models to their respective suppliers, including details on chips on the main circuit board and on battery and camera components. The documents reportedly detail hundreds of parts that will be used in the iPhone 18 Pro models. A person familiar with the matter told the outlet that Apple classifies this data as sensitive and “is concerned about the documents being shared on the dark web as they relate to unreleased models.” Apple is reportedly investigating the issue but has yet to issue an official statement.
    • You do you, I've just said that it first appeared in "home" version before it will be available in "work" one. I use Edge only because it still supports MV2 uBO extension even on Android - I'll switch when they stop.
    • I imagine that was a review or something? My reviews mostly contain a lot of images and galleries, but these are all webp too, but yeah it all adds up on the page load. Would help if you were more helpful with your critique instead of bitching and moaning like a Karen 😂 Because then we might be able to fix it for you.
    • If Valve refused to let them make the case, I wonder if they've already partnered with someone else to do it? The fact that they didn't seek permission/licence before diving straight in is incredible though
