Rick, while your serving as a guide to the new website, can you explain what a "Continuing Education Token" is? I'm thinking it might be some sort of cripto-currency. Read about it at the bottom of the "Overview" tab for the Security+ site you sent me to....

Under the "Objectives". Thanks Rick. I would have never thought it would be listed under "Objectives".

I'm lost on the new website. Looking for information about the SY0-701 Security+ exam. When did it go live? More importantly when will it potentially go dark (around 3 years after it goes live)? How many questions and how long do you have to complete the exam? That sort of info that was...

Probably the best approach would be to describe your experience, qualifications, and goals.

Speaking from the perspective of an experienced technician, when dealing with laptop repair my first primary step is I go to youtube.com and in the search bar type Repair + Laptop Name + Laptop Model. There are lots of videos out there that show important things like how to crack the case...

I jokingly sent a message to a neighbor explaining that I'm on a tentative "hold", waiting for the arrival of Starlink products, but letting them know that I'm looking forward to a 5-start quality Roadway Inn (see attached photo). I shared with other ITDRC volunteers the following message: I'm...

In my retiree volunteer roles (e.g. itdrc.org and diversitycybercouncil.org), I use the information below as an aid in defining the nature of the entity. Should I expect CompTIA's URL to be modified to reflect comptia.com? AI Overview Learn more The main difference between .org and .com...
