What's with all of the CompTIA+ training videos lately?
I was curious as well. Since the mantra of "A+ is not for IT" is often trumpeted here.

About to hit the atrium for some coffee.

Four people going through the whole series together, so a lot of activity.
@connorsoliver @mary @nathaly28 @Karlita are all working through them as a team.

Because it's a discussion. That's how people talk about the topic and ask questions.
-
It's the current intern crop, yes.

I don't know if posting 100 CompTIA+ videos blindly without any sort of words attached makes it a discussion.
If anything the discussion is why in the hell are we being spammed?

And it is spam, as my email is blowing up with "Mangolassi.it topic posted CompTIA+ blah blah blah"
There is no other way to explain it, especially as there is no conversation on the videos except for a few of them at this point. Would've been a nice heads up, even in the channel that "Hey we've got a new batch of interns and we'll be posting some videos they need to watch, sorry for the spam".

@scotth That was going to be my next task, but our office manager just came in and said she saw 4 spectrum trucks parked on the road not too far from us. Checking DownDetector, it looks like this is a very widespread issue.
Everyone I talk to here is quite happy with the quiet time right now though...
-
Was great out, but had to come in. The storm is nearly on us.

It's not spam, it's people discussing them. If you dont' want emails to notify you, just correct your email settings. Those announcements all come from the IT Training group. They groups are there specifically so that you can control nor notifications.

It's not perfect as you can tune email/new by category, it's both or neither. But you can simply turn off "watching" of the category to avoid just those items.

would creating a "group" called Interns be a better idea?

Absolutely not, it's not just for interns. it's general education. That some interns are going through topics now is completely different than the topics being only for interns (and whose interns? and what kind of interns?)
It's nothing to do with interns, and the interns have been having discussions on other topics as well. Imagine if we recategorized topics depending on the people who were posting on them at any given moment... it would cause all kinds of issues. And the interns are only half of the people talking on those topics, so why categorize as interns rather than as IT Managers, for example, since IT Managers are having discussions on there, too.
It's already in a group for something specific. And it's for everyone, it's not a limited group. Asking questions in there is the same as anywhere else.
Remember, these were pre-existing topics, that just got more conversation today. But they weren't for interns before, they were just a way to find good IT educational / career resources. That some interns are using them right now is just a momentary thing.

@scottalanmiller defend your spamming all you want. All I'm saying is a a little notice might be nice to skip out on a few dozen emails.

It was only three posts (so far). More will be coming, though. Because people were looking for more of the series. But only three were posted.

@scottalanmiller You're full of it if you believe only 3 CompTIA+ topics were posted today. And @mlnews is a culprit in the spamfest as well.

Would you look at that Time stamp ?
ML News was already posted before Scott Started .
And so what. This is a Forum is it not?
is A+ not a different part of It ( no matter how worthless some of us think it is) Knowing the components of a PC is huge. -
@DustinB3403 check the dates. Those were there months or years. You are seeing actual discussions by other people.

Thankful I have QoS setup sanely at home here. Figured out the last issue I had with XCP-ng, XO, and backing up to Wasabi. Now my internet connection is pegged
Mine is still running... 5mb/sec at 55 hours in... According to the ETA, I have another 102 hours to go, lol.
When is the next backup? How big?
Right now, I'm just doing a one-off. I'm planning on setting up a Monthly backup.
