Week Five: Essential Peripherals and Windows

Like every other week, this week videos topics and discussions regarding, reinstall/clean install, power menu mobility, and how to speed up the performance of your Windows operating system, was very interesting and helpful. I’m hoping that if not all, but most of my classmate were able to accumulate as much information by watching all three video presentations.

This week topics (chapters) focus on, Essential Peripherals, Building a PC, and Windows Under the Hood. Each topic was unique and informatively, and most importantly, I was able to learn far more detail aspects than I knew. Seen is one thing and reading and understanding full details about what you have seen is completely different thing.

In chapter 10, Essential Peripherals for example, provided the distinguish details between the “USB Standards and Compatibility.” I was able to learn the very details speed of each Universal Serial Bus (USB1.1, 2.0,3.0, and 3.1).

This is the break-down according to the book:

*      USB 1.1 was the first widely adopted standard and defined two speeds: Low- Speed USB, running at a maximum of 1.5 Mbps

*      USB 2.0 standard introduced Hi-Speed USB running at 480 Mbps

*      USB 3.0 is capable of speed of up to 5 Gbps-ten times faster than USB 2.0

*      USB 3.1 can handle speed up to 10 Gbps. It’s marked as SuperSpeed USB 10 Gbps or USB 3.1 Gen2

I find these details helpful and informatively in that, we tend to sometime ignore reading retails about things we know. I will not have known the precis “SuperSpeed” for the USB3.1, even though I know it is fast.

Like chapter 10, I was able to learn valuable details as well in chapter 12: Windows Under the Hood.

For example, the Registry Components:

*      HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT

*      HKEY_CURRENT_USER

*      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

*      HKEY_USERS

*      HKEY_CUEERNT_CONFIG

After this week, I realized that there are some much to be learn, especially to being a successful Tech. I also realized that things we sometime overlook end up becoming the most important, despite how little it may be. This is what education (learning) is all about, you come to find-out that you know little than you thought. There are new technologies becoming available and never stop reaching and learning.

 Threats to Cloud Security.   Cloud computing is on the rise and becoming popular in the public and business enterprises sector. Many CSPs (Cloud Service Providers) like, Microsoft Azure, AWS (Amazon Web Service), and GCP (Google Cloud Platform) are offering their clients and users the opportunity to migrate the operations to the cloud by subscribing services () that fits their operation needs. There are many activities involved with migrating to the cloud that are important for the public and business enterprises to understand before making such leap (migrate). Speaking of migrating, the term security is one of the most critical aspects that concerns cybersecurity team members, and all proper measures must be taken seriously. The uprising of cyber threats to cloud computing increases by the day just as cloud computing becomes more and more popular. The following are lists of threats to cloud security: 1.       Data Breach - regardless o...

 Week One: Entry Blog. Hello to all, my name is Edward Cooper, and I was born and raised in Monrovia, Liberia, Africa. I came to the United States, November of 1996, and I reside in the beautiful state of New Jersey. I love working with different types of technologies and I just got through building a brand-new Personal Computer last month as I was pursuing my certification in Comp & Network Security Fund (CompTIA Security+), and Comp & Hardware and Software Mgmt. (CompTIA A+). I am currently taking a class in both Computer Server Environments (CompTIA Server+), and Network Mgmt. & Infrastructure (CompTIA Network+). Other than Windows Server that I have had some experiences (installed and configured) working with, I have not had experience with other vendors’ server platforms.   Speaking of server, I have some experience when it come to computer networking and I was able to build a home network (LAN) with four computers, Windows server, routers hubs, and a sw...

 Week Six: Internet Protocol version Six (IPv6). This week six topic focused on the fundamental concepts of Internet Protocol version six (IPv6), describing IPv6 practices, and the implementation of Pv6 in a Transmission Control Protocol/ Interprotocol (TCP/IP) network design. The Internet Protocol version four (IPv4) was developed for the purpose of assigning Internet Protocol addresses. IPv4 was developed to handled IP addresses for the foreseeable future, unfortunately, it turned out that wasn’t the case as the traffic (more computers became available in homes and smaller businesses) on the air wave begin too much to handle.  The IPv6 was developed as the replacement for IPv4. IPv6 comes with tremendous benefits that IPv4 didn’t had, and one of those benefits that IPv6 come with has to do with its pool of unlimitedly IP address. IPv4 is stay in used at this current moment as IPv6 translation begin slowly into replacing IPv4. There is no comparison whatsoever between IPv4 an...
