Is CompTIA Tech+ a good starting point?

I have ITIL4 Foundation and have been working around computers and system administration for over 15 years, but I have no formal qualifications in IT and am self-taught for most jobs where I have been a system admin of an LMS.

I thought I might start getting some CompTIA certs to formalise my knowledge.

Q.1: Is this a good place to start given my lack of formal training, or should I jump to the CompTIA A+?
Q2: Does the Tech+ Complete Bundle allow you to learn and take the test, or are they separate? Do I need to purchase the Tech+ Complete Bundle and the Tech+ Voucher?

Thanks for the guidance in advance.

Are there certain for C# outside of MSLearn / FreeCodeCamp?

Discussion

I’m really new to C# but have dabbled in python, CSS, AHK, PHP, JS and html in the past. I am mid career looking at shifting out of a system admin role and upskilling in a masters of IT which involves learning C#.

I’ve gone through the first modules of it and am enjoying it so far on MSLearn but I feel like it skips over the explanations lightly for things like string interpolation and the += stuff which still confuses me.

I guess I’m looking for something with more meat on the bone that has certification that is respected in the industry. Does something like that exist? Or is there a reference book I should be reading to supplement my practice in MSLearn?

Thank you 🙏

Random strangers meet crackhead on the way home to Altandi and Kuruby station

Public Transport

I had the weirdest experience today going home on the Gold Coast/ Beenleigh line.

I was sitting across a guy and a girl in their twenties and I was wearing all black just coming from work in the city. I got on at Central and there was this guy who brought an electric scooter with him and was off his head.

I was waiting at Central and he was talking out loud saying “hurry up C**t” to the train and just full on tweaking out. I try to avoid eye contact as I get on the train and see a girl and guy nearby enter the train also. I sit opposite them because they looked friendly.

But…

The dude talking to himself brings his scooter in and sits down next to me. Think housing commission/ crackhead

Amex Travel vs Transferring Points vs Booking Direct – Which is Best? (Australia, Amex Platinum)

Card Benefits

Good afternoon everyone, I'm a novice when it comes to Amex Platinum and travel, so I wanted to compare the best way to book flights using the American Express Platinum (Australia).

For this example, I’m planning two trips out of Brissy:

  1. Brisbane (BNE) → Bali (DPS) with Singapore Airlines (SQ)
  2. Brisbane (BNE) → Tokyo (NRT/HND) with Japan Airlines (JAL)

Since Amex Platinum offers different earning rates and redemption options, I looked at:

  1. Booking via Amex Travel (earns 3x Membership Rewards points per $1)
  2. Transferring Amex points to airline programs (KrisFlyer/JAL Mileage Bank/Qantas) and booking award flights
  3. **Booking directly with the air

Indonesia /Filipina AP in Australia

Question
  1. Anyone from these countries come to Australia to work as an Au Pair before?
  2. What visa requirements are necessary?
  3. Who pays for the flights over?

I’m using Aupair.com to find someone to help my wife and I with our son who is 2. I think having an au pair would give us some time to ourselves and add a new dynamic to the family.

We have not done this before so I’m sorry if these are obviously answered questions.

Help Identifying Italian Alabaster Statue - Rebecca at the Well?

Questions

I’m looking for more information on this statue, which I believe depicts Rebecca at the Well.
It was appraised around 40 years ago at approximately $50,000 AUD. Here’s what I know so far:

  • Material: The statue seems to be carved from Italian alabaster, known for its smooth, translucent quality. I can shine a light behind and see through parts of it like a salt lamp. It’s mounted on a green marble column, likely Verde Alpi or Verde Antico marble.
  • Style and Period: It appears to be from the late 19th to early 20th century (1870-1930), when Italian artisans were producing Neoclassical and Romantic sculptures for export, especially of biblical and allegorical themes.

One month ban for asking someone to switch in app

Discussion

So, I’m going 10-1 and there is a second dps rolling hanzo who is now 1-5. I complained and asked him to switch or we will lose. The whole team reports me. I get suspended for a month. I only play sombra and use works to lvl up her progression. People seem to think it’s okay to lose in we. I said they should just go arcade mode if they want to practice.

I’m tired of the hate sombra gets. I get reported so frequently now. I’m lvl 131. People are so toxic in this game.
