oh there's like 5 spelling errors throughout the entire album m8.

I resort to pretending to everyone its supposed to be that way for "artistic reasons" , and that if anyone disagrees he/ she is a mainstream sheepul that "just doesn't get it"

Haha, I just found that there is a Through Shards of Open Fields in your Alphanumertic album and a Through Fields of Open Shards in your Paracosm album. How artistic it is!

Anyone can do it but I am hoping it will give me an edge compared to others.

Congrats. I've heard that cybersecurity is really hard to break into, but one way in is as help desk support and build up your work experience and credentials to work your way into cybersecurity. IT personnel here in the US would pursue a Cisco/COMPTIA A+ certification, get a job as an IT help desk admin, then become system admins and later break into cybersecurity. I'm trying to tailor my experience away from front-line IT support to back-end security now, which for me will involve tagging along on security projects

I just realized why I haven't really posted much. Other than being away from trance, I haven't posted because I generally post from my laptop. I only have a bulky gaming laptop, and typing on it without an external keyboard is kind of a pain. I used to post a lot more back then when I had a much easier to use Lenovo Yoga laptop that was super light and had a touch screen, but I destroyed it before moving because the screen no longer worked correctly. Gaming on that laptop was also god awful, since it only had 128 MB of video RAM, so it could barely run Skyrim and couldn't run Dark Souls Remastered.

I should probably buy a Mac...

Thanks @facade1984 and @dmgtz96. Getting into IT is extremely difficult for sure if you come a background that's not in IT. When I did the google certification course they had like inspiration stories from people who have not come from other backgrounds outside of IT. I found to be a bit off in what one of the guy said that if you are honest and truthful with your employers as if they care and that's not how it works in the real world where honesty works when it doesn't. Maybe your parents and loved one but some of the videos I felt were pushing the whole DEI stuff a bit too much. There are plenty of other ways to get into Cybersecurity other than just help desk support. You can make a killing doing Bug bounty and if you can find vulnerabilities with various companies they pay a lot to find them. I have been told mixed signals with Comptia certifications and by the way you know those Comptia certifications only last for 3 years and you have to pay them to take the exam again. You can take penetration testing certificates. There was a Linus tech tips video which Google/Youtube took down.

Mac are terrible for gaming though. Also, it could be slow for a number of reasons have you checked if you have latest drivers installed because that can affect your speed? Why are trying to game on a laptop as well? That's what pc workstations are for.

I wouldn't get the Mac for gaming, just for school work, light internet browsing, etc. I already have a gaming laptop (Asus ROG Strix G15 Advantage) that is still stock, and am planning on updating the RAM to 64 GB / memory to 4 TB SSD later on. It's been fine so far
