      Not sure what the original source of this was, but found it interesting that they note the "wall of text" issue specifically as a problem that makes it hard for some people to follow the topic.

      I like the video; I'm not sure how helpful it is though.

      Well, if you already know RAID 0. But lots of people don't, and I want to be complete.

      I think it's definitely needed. Anyone who doesn't have any knowledge on the subject but is looking to learn will have a good resource in this.

      @scottalanmiller said in The Inappropriate Bundling of Services SAMIT Video:

      "what they do" for the other it is "what they have to do and hope you do as little as possible." Keeping lots of cooks in their own

      Let's use GoDaddy as an example, short of them not supporting a record type, what's the issue with GoDaddy DNS and registrar in one account - specifically?

      That's a good one to look at specifically.

      GoDaddy DNS is cumbersome to use and wastes time. This is a vendor issue, not a bundling one. GoDaddy DNS has a less than stellar uptime track record. This isn't a service they are known for, they don't really care as serious customers don't use it for this. Under normal operations, non-IT staff should never have access to DNS records and IT staff should never have access to corporate identity records. Using GoDaddy for both removes the possibility of keeping those highly critical roles separate and puts the company in danger of IT running off with the company identity and business people of accidentally taking services offline. As above, there is no safe means of using contractor support for simple IT tasks. GoDaddy doesn't offer key DNS related features like caching. You are either stuck using a single registrar (often not even possible as different registrars offer different domains) or stuck managing DNS is multiple locations. It lowers flexibility. An outage from your registrar can take out your DNS with your risk mitigation removed as part of the outage. Otherwise a DNS outage can be protected against from the registrar and a registrar outage has no production impact. This is the biggest issue, it creates a whole form of risk that need not exist.

      @scottalanmiller you really need to think about your still image on these.

      Also. I broke down and clicked on this one.

      The lead in music was significantly louder than the audio after the lead in. that is bad.

      That's been since addressed. Actually both things have. The videos from today (not posted yet) are with a still camera and audio tweaking. My dad does the final edits, and he added the intro music. So hopefully those two things are taken care of in about two videos from now.

      I think bench work would be perfect for me. Please don't say I need CompTIA A+ for this. I feel like it is going backwards. Perhaps Server+ then?

      Sadly, A+ is the only broadly known cert in the bench world. The Server+ is a better cert, but only applies to a certain type of bench work and is only known by 1% of employers.

      @biglittle said in Certifications for IT SAMIT Video:

      I found this very interesting, since I'm switching to IT from education I always saw certifications as state mandated in order to even be considered for a position.

      Oh yes, in many cases if you want a government IT job you will require certs. In fact, you'll be required to have certs from other industries. That's the degree to which government IT isn't considered professional. Government IT often pays a fraction of the industry and is not taken seriously. In NY state, for example, top level IT technical positions are often below entry level in pay. So below the professional scale.

      So if your goal is "government IT" which is sort of its own thing, you'll need certs from non-IT to even be allowed to be hired. But it's often considered on the fringe or outside of "real" IT.

      Keep in mind that while we often use IT Professional, as a term, IT are not professionals. Actual "professional" guidelines are actually considered insulting in IT. The idea that IT could be certified or that university education would be meaningful, the very tenants of professional work, are insulting in IT where things are performance based, not government pseudo-union based. A better term to use, at least in your head, is IT Practitioner, not professional. IT does not function if held to the standards of normal "professions". The education or certification needed for those fields are far too low to be useful in IT. The breadth of knowledge and continuous education needed for IT success are much higher than many other fields. This is why it is not considered polite or appropriate to compare IT Practitioners to something like doctors. The bar for being a successful doctor is embarrassingly low for IT, for example.

      @sully93 I have a video from MangoCon 2016 where instead of talking about "what isn't IT" I talk about what it is. I have a recent SAMIT video on separating IT from SE. I'll do one soon on separating IT from Bench.

      You are entirely correct. The people like that it seems will not even consider anything else and would rather pay big license fees than learn other systems.

      Guess what version of Hyper-V I have.

      0_1501287894163_tick box Hyper-v.PNG

      The tick box version and not the right kind. Plus, I can't change this because this is the ERP system. I could just smack somebody.

      You can change it by getting a PC set up with hyper V 2016 migrate to that then format the machine reinstall 2016 on the server hardware in migrate back.

      Well I have downloaded Inkscape but haven't had occasion to use it much.

      If you have other graphics programs to recommend I'm all ears.

      Personally I really like the Corel products, they seem much more straight forward to use than PS. So I'm definitely not stuck on the PS side of things.
      I'm definitely a causal user

      I prefer Inkscape if I can do it. Vector is so much easier to work with than raster.

      Inkscape is awesome. Loads of professional work is done in that.
