Hello everyone -

Thank you so much for joining us for the webinar today. It was a lot of fun to do.

So here's a short list of the things I used for the toolbox today.

Software

• Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) v27 - v28 still has some complexities with NDI, so I'm still on v27.
• Microsoft Whiteboard - Stock with Windows 11 (from the MS Store)
• On24 - Presentation platform

Hardware Tech

• Computer - Alienware X17 r1 with Core i9, 64GB RAM and nVidia 3080 (you don't need that much power, but it helps)
• Cameras
  • Alienware integrated laptop panel camera
  • Logitech 920c - Primary face camera
  • Logitech Mevo Start - Down point camera
• NDI plugin for OBS Studio, NDI HX app for mobile
• FocusRite Scarlett 2i2 Analog to Digital Audio Interface - Connects XLR or 1/4" audio inputs into USB
• Audio Technica System 9 Wireless Mic System
• Green Screen - Two large swathes of green fabric from Walmart's sewing section, tied together with safety pins
• Huion model H610 drawing tablet

So anyway, there is so much for us to learn from each other - so, this thread is here for those comments, thoughts, suggestions, questions, and what not.

It's your turn - let's hear what you got!

Has anyone knowledge on the next steps I've set myself up but just looking for some advice before I do my Virtual Classroom Submission

Much appreciate any support.

Hi ,

How could I find & JOIN the next TTT?

BR

After attending the Linux TTT series, I awarded the resources but I can't access them. I try visit the link and I can't access the materials at all. What is to be done?

Hello. Does anyone know where I can access the keys for the Linux applied labs? Some of the commands that are required are not necessarily in the text or videos. My students are very frustrated and so am I.

Advice? Recommendations?

Tambra

My anti-malware is reporting that store.comptia.org is currently a malicious and dangerous site. Has anyone else had this experience?

Hey all. I had my M.2 hard drive crash. I wanted to create a thread to talk M.2 if that is fine. Kinda two questions for the moment minus any other information you can post. Figured good chat for your classroom as well. Good thing for the cloud backup....Whaaaaaa.

1st - My M.2 ssd will power on but can't even detect it. I was getting a page_file error and suspected maybe OS corruption but the got the WHEA_Uncorrectable_Error and it failed. Is there a way to access the information still or is the Boot order totally gone maybe since it said "system type: ntfs" at the bottom. (Iam wondering if heat could have been a factor in this to since it was about my 3090 / I am using Speccy to monitor temperatures at the moment since I replaced it and everything seems fine until I play lots of games making the GPU go 75'C - 79'C which is still good for the GPU but maybe not added heat to the M.2 above) - Thoughts

2nd - Any good way to free back up used sectors that might have been blocked because I see that you will delete data but maybe it will only block it off instead. Idk if "TRIM operations" help with that. I figured only good to do that once in a blue moon since SSD don't like a lot of certain actions. I am also assuming it will just over write that data eventually if it needs the space.

Hey everyone,
I have some instructors on my team that I would like to register for CIN, but I can't figure out how to create an account anymore does anyone have an insight so that I can create an easy one pager to give them so that I can get them all set up?

Are any of the current CompTIA exams adaptive exams? I know that a long time ago, CompTIA had some adaptive exams that would adjust the questioning based on a test-taker's responses. That was dropped in favor of a linear exam. I heard someone say that CompTIA has adaptive exams.

Can I get clarification on this? Are any of the current CompTIA exams adaptive? Are there plans for upcoming exams to be adaptive exams?

Wanted to share an article I wrote, detailing test-taking processes I've used over the years and shared with my students.
