when I take this comptia test I'm going to run to the college library, borrow some books on C and x86 asm, and then go home and start studying that shit

@PurpCat Who cares about where the money goes to? It's the certs that matter.
@PurpCat Oh wait never mind. Holy shit!
@xianc78 comptia is bad about this too, they were asking louis rossmann questions like "how many firewire 400 devices can you chain" when nobody was using firewire
Or adding with the more important detail: LFCS and LFCE are actual proctored performance-based certifications, requiring a person to actually execute the requested tasks on several server VMs, rather than a multiple-choice test (like with CompTIA certs).
There's usually like +50-80% off discounts on Black Friday or Cyber Monday for LF certs.

@arcanicanis @xianc78 ah okay that makes a big difference.
CompTIA is literally infamous, both for multiple choice and for having "braindumps" exist.

The military (or at least Marine Corps) operationally will just keeping throwing people at testing for CompTIA Security+ until they eventually pass, just by unlikely statistical chance; I've encountered a handful of folks in military that held Security+ that had no idea how they managed to pass, other than just somewhat-memorizing word associations. The only reason why is: Security+ (and other equivalent certs, per some DoD standard) is required for getting any admin privileges on military networks, such as being an OU-level admin in AD. Nonetheless, there's a lot of very confused people out there administering military networks that probably shouldn't be; thanks CompTIA certification!
