I’ll ask what value automatic backups have.

rproffitt — Thu, 13 Jun 2024 22:56:16 +0000

The last time a friend had automatic backups, they lost content because the backups overwrote the prior backups.
And if you rely on hosting providers for backups, what happens when that company fails?

The short answer is that if you didn’t backup, the files are usually not worth backing up.

Reply To: which is best for designing core i5 or core i7?

Let’s be honest, an i9 processor is even more powerful/faster. The big picture is whether or not it is cost-worthy to spend more or will the mid or lower grade processor will be sufficient. Talk to other professionals running similar systems and get their opinions. If money was no object, I would pick the i9, but then again…….

Find myself unemployed at 53

pneuser — Thu, 13 Jun 2024 19:57:27 +0000

Hello and thank you for your attention to my post.

I was recently laid off my work in Logistics and am thinking of returning to school to finish my IT related degree even at my advanced age (53).

Here is my plan (and we all know what they say about the best laid plans…:))
Finish IT degree, gain experience, become specialized, learn to be good at something in IT that I can do from home so I can semi-retire in Myrtle Beach somewhere by the ocean.

Timeline: 10 years.

I have dabbled in programming, database, web development and networking. I find there isnt much in IT I dont enjoy.

I need help figuring out where to go as I likely have one shot at getting it right.

So my question is this: if you had 10 years to get to a affordable wage in IT (say 65K+) with a desire to work mostly from home; where would you specialize your training and expertise in IT assuming starting from mostly scratch.

What security measures does your hosting provider offer? Specifically, are firewalls included in the plan, and how frequently are automatic backups performed?

An i7 is faster than an i5. But it doesn’t deliver better quality.
But, depending on the program you use, the GPU might have more influence on the speed than the CPU.

Say, something is 10% faster. Then calculate how many hours of work that saves, multiply with your hourly costs, and you’ll know the financial side. But if doubtful if 5 seconds difference in doing something really gives you the time to do other useful things, if you don’t do it often enough.

which is best for designing core i5 or core i7?

margaretcardenwriter — Thu, 13 Jun 2024 11:19:50 +0000

When deliberating between Core i5 and Core i7 processors for designing purposes, what factors should one consider to make the optimal choice? Particularly in the context of demanding tasks such as graphic design for websites, if intricate details demand processing power, how do the capabilities of these CPUs stack up? Are the additional features and performance gains of the Core i7 worth the investment over the Core i5 for handling intensive design software efficiently? Additionally, considering budget constraints, are there scenarios where the Core i5 could suffice without compromising the quality of design work, especially when balancing performance needs with cost-effectiveness?

I second the backup tip! Restoring a clean version is the fastest way to get your site back to normal. While you secure it, consider a security plugin for extra protection.
