so...I took my last video down

TL:DR-Chuck took his video about Linus taking the A+ test down because CompTIA asked him to

Closed book testing is dumb, In college, one of my engineering professors told us "We don't expect you to remember everything, we expect you to remember how to look it up when you need it".

6:47 time stamp where he starts talking about the video take down

Honestly, the A+ is a joke unless you're after your first IT job with no education/degree to get your foot in the door. If you're paying to renew it, you're wasting money that could be spent on certifications that actually mean something.

I was literally in the middle of that video when it suddenly disappeared

Took the A+ in the late 90s. It's a great entry level cert. Needed 600 to pass I got a 1075. Killed that thing.

At least he knows who owns him now.

I loved watching the few hecklers in chat make up bed time stories about why you took down the video but they shut up the moment you explained why you really took the video down.

I'm retired IT guy, and I love your video as a way to keep up and not feel so left behind. Starting out, I Had to build my own computer and learn 8080 Assembly Remember Paper Tape Loaders? Thanks!

Great video and talked about some great subjects my man! Really enjoyed the the stuff about your family and "why" you're doing all this. I have a large family myself (6 kids with a stay at home Wife) and got into IT I think for similar reasons (although I didn't realize it at the time). This live made me appreciate you more than I already did. God bless. God is good.
