I have built a few of these over the years, but it has been a while. The video card is important, but only if they are rendering 3d or using something like After Effects. The biggest area you want to max out on is a Nice motherboard, a good processor, then 100% Max out every bit of RAM you can put in that board. This is because when you edit video, it is in RAM. Then to render it has to process everything you want done at 4K. The Processor L2 cache, buss speed, and RAM speed and amount are always the bottleneck.

Many of the Video editing machines I built back in the 2010ish times would use the intel onboard video, a 2nd PCI cheap video card I found for free for a 2nd monitor, then spend over 1/2 my build budget on really nice RAM and a motherboard. This may have changed a little going from 1080p to 4K.

I don't want to be that guy, but you could take the time you are spending worrying about this, and just change all of your passwords and be done with it.

Wow. I'm an idiot. I always thought you had to have a QR reader app to use QR codes...

I just tried pointing the regular camera app of my iPhone at it and it read it immediately. :man_facepalming:

I learned that more by mistake a few weeks/month ago.

This was only added natively in iOS 12 I think

Yup, it was 11 or 12. All modern smart phone operating systems handle them natively now, but that is a fairly modern change. You used to have to use a 3rd party app.

I really appreciate all of the feed back. I know that printer programing is serious business, we used to have a guy around here who had been doing it for years :winking_face: That being said it was a factor that helped me cross over from retail to manufacturing as both do a ton of work with label printing. I can however just bring it up in an interview if relevant, and not seem like I am trying to fill a sheet a paper. I will take your advice and rework it again in the next day or so. THANK YOU again for your time!

Ok Here is Attempt 2.

What job are you pursuing? Knowing this will help giving you a relevant critique.

As of right now, officially nothing. This is more of a I have never really needed a good professional resume, but I know I should probably have one in my back pocket that is up to date. Work has been a little rocky for a while, so I wanted to have a resume ready if I need it. Also, I suck at trying to sell myself, so I'm here for critique and advice.

There still needs to be some kind of focus. For example, the resume I have now (which I tweak as needed) is geared toward systems administration jobs. If I wanted to go back to public school teaching, I'd have to create a different base resume. What kind of job do you want to pursue?

That is where I am going to have to spend some time thinking and go back to the drawing board. I have always been a generalist and jack of all trades, which is why I'm an integrator now. I don't have certifications as there has never been a point in my career to date where I needed it. I guess I am going to have to pick a path.

I have seen a few of these back in the day get stuck. Every time I would just get mad and walk away and let them sit overnight (12+ hours). The next morning hitting the update button would work after who knows what timed out. Good luck!

I haven't redone my resume in the over a decade, so I figured I should probably go ahead redo it. The one I had was the one I had done when I first left college. I tried doing something a little more involved than just a default template. So here a copy of it. If you have time, just read over it and give me any feedback you guys have to offer, and please tear it apart. Some information has been edited to protect the innocent. Thanks in Advance!

Checking in as well. I haven't lost a single pound. That being said I have been doing CrossFit for over a year and I have added 40lbs to almost every lift, I can comfortably run a mile unbroken, and I feel great. Take your wins where they come. Now I'm on to conquering pull ups and jump rope double unders.

Well work denied funding the trip down, but I think 2-3 of us are still going to try to attend. What are good options for hotels on the cheap in the area?

I think this is outside of tech. I mean it is close, but it isn't an O'Reilly book.

@Dashrender said in Help with Active Directory Terminology:

I'm pretty sure that Azure AD and local AD use different tech to get the job done. So if you want both, you'll have to program it twice.

Correct, similar names, nothing else really in common.

Learning! Ok I have been out of the loop for a few years. So I just wrongly assumed that Azure AD was just moving a local AD server to the Azure cloud.

@Kelly said in Help with Active Directory Terminology:

The short answers are "authentication" is the term and Azure AD does support it: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/authentication-scenarios. There are longer answers, but it is dependent on the application and your level of control over it.

The application is mine, so I have complete control. I just see most modern applications are wanting to use single sign on. I don't need it to be that heavy, I am just wanting to use current AD password as a quick confirmation that a person on a shared device is who they say they are in that moment.

I am a little out of the loop with Active Directory terminology. I would like to update an internal application to have it authenticate a user to Active Directory as lightweight as possible. I just need to be able to send a user name and password, and return a true or false if the password is correct. What is type of authentication this called, and does the new Active Directory in Azure support it, or is it to internal Domain Controllers only?

For what it is worth, I put one of these in my Mom's house as their home router for Christmas last year because they were not getting signal across a 2,000 Sqf house. I haven't touched it, rebooted it, or even thought about it in a year with no issues.

What I had with dinner... a Mango Lassi

I'm OK with this one. If someone unauthorized messes with or replaces my fingerprint scanner, I'm OK with my laptop bricking.

I am currently a C# developer and systems integrator in the manufacturing world. I am seeing more of a push for data analytics and basic AI, but I don't know where to start. I know the R language is probably the direction we will be going in, and I have tried to look at it, but I don't think I have enough fundamentals to get started. I prefer learning though doing or Online learn as you go projects. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to get started down this road?

I looked into these about a year ago before I got my new bike. At that time there were so many gotcha's. The small ones had bad battery life, the bigger ones were obvious, the cheap ones had horrible signal quality. In the end, it was best for me to invest in a quality lock with theft insurance. That way it is locked, and if it is taken, then I just get a new bike. Sorry I can't offer a better solution.
