Looking for any improvements or thoughts. I’m a network guy. So far, I haven’t had great luck applying for non-DoD roles. I’m thinking about making another copy removing any DoD/military terms or references. I do have awards like being promoted early and medals for fixing network outages, etc, but don’t know if it will translate.
hello, as the title says, i was wondering what careers i might be able to pursue that are more hardware oriented. i've always been interested in taking computers and laptops apart, troubleshooting, replacing parts, etc. what jobs would be a good fit for that kind of stuff? would i have to go to school or take a program for a certification? at the moment all i have is a high school diploma.
any help is appreciated :)
Good schema is good karma
i only have one power outlet and very limited space and am looking for a solution to connect a 4 network slots hub , i was wondering if i can power the hub with the usb slot on my router that is currently connected to the power socket?
We've all done it: hit Send, then instantly spot the typo, the wrong recipient, or realize you said "see attached" with nothing attached. Gmail's built-in Undo Send gives you 30 seconds max. I wanted more control, so I built Soft Send.
What it does:
Instead of sending instantly, Soft Send holds your email in a local queue for a delay you choose (1 min up to 1 hour). During that window you can cancel it, pause the timer, or edit it. It's "undo send", but on your terms.
It also watches for risky patterns and adds extra delay + a warning when it spots:
Privacy: No server, no tracking. Your email content never leaves your device except to go to Google's own Gmail API to actually send it.
Free vs Pro: Everything above is free. The one-time Pro ($14.99, no subscription) unlocks high-risk recipient lists — flag specific people (your boss, your CEO) or whole domains (a client's company) so you get a big red warning and a longer delay before an email ever reaches the wrong inbox.
Hope you find this useful, feel free to try it out on ->

A while ago someone posted a hand-drawn fantasy map of AWS services here and it stuck with me. I finally built the interactive version for the Solutions Architect Associate exam.
Each exam domain is its own region, and the regions are sized by their actual exam weight (Secure Architectures is 30% of the exam, so it's 30% of the landmass). Every location on the map is a topic from the study guide: click the IAM Citadel and its 8 lessons fan out around the fortress.
If you make a free account you also get progression: fog of war covers lands you haven't studied yet and rolls back as you complete lessons, and a little character called the Wayfinder walks the roads between locations to wherever you're studying, so you always know where you left off.
It's in beta and I'd genuinely love feedback, especially on what would make you actually study with it. Boss battles at each region border (pass a domain quiz to cross) are next on my list.
I found this interesting. AgiBot claims its humanoid robots worked continuously for 64 hours on tablets production line ,inspecting 17,625 device with a reported 99% accuracy.
If these results scale beyond controlled tests ,it could be a significant step toward using humanoid robots for repetitive factory tasks .
Do you think humanoid robots will become common in manufacturing , or will specialized industrial robots remain the better choice ?
My former friend 36m told me 33m that I can't go back into IT because I used to use drugs years ago. What should I do?
I'm 57 months clean from drugs and looking to return to IT after a 8 year absence due to addiction and recovery. I have a bachelor's degree in IT with a 3.9 gpa and 7 months of experience. I have a clean criminal record. I plan to put full time caretaker on my resume to cover the gap.
This dude has a fake associate IT degree from a shitty online degree mill with a 2.0 gpa and had no experience when he got a helpdesk job. I cut him off years ago because he borrowed 600 and took 4 years to pay it back after saying it would only take a month. He says I'm not worthy of IT because I used to use drugs and that I can never reach my goals of system admin and IT manager. He claims he is morally superior because he never used profanity or had drugs or a drop of alcohol. What should I do? does his word hold any weight? does he have the right to say who can go into IT? I'm so upset
I recently graduated from an IT program and earned my A+ cert, and the program helped me get an IT internship. I have no degree, and I only have my high school diploma. I have been searching for an IT help desk job or any entry-level help desk role for about 4 weeks, and I have gotten nothing but rejections, or employers look at my resume but don’t call back for an interview or anything. It's very discouraging, and I genuinely feel like giving up. I just don’t know what else to do at this point. Any advice would be very much needed I’m very close to just giving up all together today I opened indeed and just started crying while thinking I will never get a job in this field
Thank you
Hello, I’m currently trying to break into my first IT role and I’d figure I’d make a resume catered to attracting the attention of IT recruiters so I try to condense it as much as I could and was looking for some feedback and what I could/should change to make my resume look better. Thank you.
Your mouse is slowing you down.
Every time your hand leaves the keyboard, you lose focus.
I switched to a keyboard-only workflow on macOS, and it's surprisingly addictive. The app is made using Swift, and it is created with the help of AI.

You'll wonder why you ever reached for a mouse.

Just got A+ cert Wednesday, trying to work help desk while in college. I have a bunch of self taught cybersecurity experience but this is tailored for IT. Any openings for guidance would be appreciated too. i've gathered all of this just within maybe 2 ish months so im very eager to learn and grow
Recently lost my job and am getting back into the IT job market. Are there any tips that can be shared on how to upgrade my resume?
IBM has introduced a prototype 0.7nm AI chip that represents one of the biggest advancen semiconductor technology in recent years.
Nearly 100 billion transistor are packed into a chip roughly the size of a fingermail.
IBM expects the technology to reach commercial production within the next five years, through mass market are still some time away.
Microsoft documents on driver mentioned: function driver is the driver that communicates directly with the device. This statement is true for a device that connects directly to the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus. The function driver for a PCI device obtains addresses that are mapped to port and memory resources on the device. The function driver communicates directly with the device by writing to those addresses.
In many cases, a device doesn't connect directly to the PCI bus. Instead, the device connects to a host bus adapter that is connected to the PCI bus. For example, a USB toaster connects to a host bus adapter, called a USB host controller. That controller is connected to the PCI bus. The USB toaster has a function driver and the USB host controller also has a function driver.
The function driver for the toaster communicates indirectly with the toaster by sending a request to the function driver for the USB host controller. The function driver for the USB host controller then communicates directly with the USB host controller hardware, which communicates with the toaster."
Does that mean any device that requires driver to work must be connected to PCIe bus or hook up with a host controller connected to PCIe? I'm just doing a research on windows device driver
So, I have this tablet, it's the Cherry Mobile Aqua Pad, and it was provided by my job. So, like, I can't put it on recovery mode, cuz you saw it has no command. I can't factory reset it because it was blocked by admin. How do I get it to, like, the startup mode so that I can log in my Google Play account, then I can install any apps that i want, then I will turn off Google Play services so that it won't go to the restricted version? How do I do that?
So the tablet used to, my co worker's tablet used to reset every two hours(it goes back to when you have to sign in). How do I get it back to that mode? Because mine won't reset anymore. How do I do that?
1st: Factory reset the tablet.
2nd: Set it up offline; do not connect to Wi-Fi.
3rd: Log in to your Google account via the Play Store and download everything you want—just make sure to finish within two hours.
4th: To prevent it from shutting down, go to Settings > Apps, select Google Play Store and Google Play Services, and disable them; then you're all set.
I just want to reset it
Before TL:DR (is a regular spectrum router not good?
TL:DR (Stock Ohio Internet - is there a better option?) I removed the pics mentioned because it said that speedtests were not good. LMK if you want anything specific.
What behaviour did I expect?
Consistent WiFi performance throughout the house, especially stable upload speeds and reliable video calls for my wife’s upstairs office (~30ish feet from the router (2200 sq. foot house), through one floor and multiple walls). I expected upload speeds close to what I pay for and no random drops.
What behaviour did I observe?
I’ve attached supplemental photos showing the speed test results (on my PC)
What have I tried to mitigate the problem?
What is the manufacturer and model of the devices involved?
How are the devices connected to each other?
Additional context:
I'm in my 2nd year at a college, I dual major in IT and cyber with a focus on network administration, I'm currently studying for my CCNA. I have had no IT help desk experience yet,
I feel like my resume is really good for my age and year in college, there are some peers in classes who can hardly open a terminal or SSH into something. What am I doing wrong? I've applied to 300+ positions in my area, my college requires a year of paid work experience to graduate and I am expected to get it all on my own.
Any help is appreciated
