One of my favorite demos that I've been using for a very long time is going to shodan.io and searching the term: in-tank The result this morning was the identification of 4,521 "results" (3,556 in the US), with many of those results showing fuel levels in tanks along with other information...

In my retirement role (effort to keep busy), I'm taking https://course.elementsofai.com/

My suggestion is you reach out to your CompTIA representative. They cover geographic areas. You can reach out to Brian (my West Coast representative at [email protected]) and I'm sure he will connect you up with the right person.

I'll be hanging around the beach, so I'm going to designate you as my CIN reporter.

Of interest is what are going to be the consequences relating to CompTIA's acquisition of TestOut? Are these two alternative resource products going to continue to exist or will one of them disappear?

That would (1) interrupt retirement plans, and (2) result in a temperature increase of around 40 degrees (110 - 70).

Well, despite the fact that I'm irreplaceable, I'm sure the colleges and universities where I've taught have managed to find qualified individuals to handle my teaching responsibilities. ;)

Speaking of free (or freemium) learning resources, last week as a career-closing effort, I taught a one-week course with K-12 teachers as my students, that focused on the current Security+ certification. In addition to telling the teachers that they should join CIN, I provided a list of learning...

There is a great deal of overlap with the current exams, so I'd recommend having students take them both with a short time period between exams (in other words take them at the end of the learning process). I've repeatedly suggested to the folks at CompTIA that there be a single A+ exam. The...

I agree with John's suggestion. A challenge with A+ is you are dealing with two certification exams in order to obtain this certification, coupled with the fact that it is a challenge to teach hardware concepts without providing actual access to the hardware. ITF+ is a mile wide in terms of...

CompTIA has recently listed the retirement date for the SY0-601 exam as July 2024 (see https://www.comptia.org/certifications/security#examdetails ). Briefly looking at the differences in focus from the current exam to new exam draft objectives, I'm sensing a substantial difference. Below is a...

So? Any word? I did find this: https://www.comptia.org/training/resources/exam-objectives/exam-objectives-under-development

How about as instructors we do something many of us are more than skilled in doing. By direct email to Steve Schneiter, I sent him a link to what I believe is a site containing questions that are likely a "brain dump" for the SY0-601 exam and asked that he respond to this posting, providing an...

Below is content in the (ISC)2 website. Before obtaining the CISSP and CCSP certifications, I was required to satisfy the requirements relating to work experience. Would it make sense for CompTIA to adopt similar requirements that are aligned with their experience recommendations for those...

This thread goes a long way toward supporting why I've taught in an academic environment. The established time a student spends in class (both lecture and lab), coupled with the course length (typically 8 to 16 weeks), spreads the learning process over a reasonable timeframe for content absorption.

Too late. I'll be fully retired, and no longer maintain the SY0-X01 streak.

Let me pose it in a manner few want to consider. Some training companies (notice I did not say all), focus their efforts on "career changers" as their customers. They rush them through a series of three certification-related courses in a boot camp style 5-day format for each course. The students...

OK CINers, which is correct? CompTIA Comptia ComPTIA

A key component of certifications is their history can demonstrate with multiple industry-recognized certifications a learning path and a willingness to be a life-long learner in this ever-changing technology field.
