Tech Industry Takes the Lead in Redefining Work

One common theme during the pandemic has been an acceleration in the changes taking place at work. Whether it is cloud adoption, remote working or general workforce practices, the rapid response to restrictions has driven new thinking about long-term operations. Many tech firms have been out in front when it comes to redefining how work gets done. Examples include: Major companies such as Twitter, Facebook, Google and Microsoft extending remote work policies until the end of the year or indefinitely. Tech firms such as Zoom, Uber, Snap and Pinterest joining a coalition aimed at improving conditions for working parents. Salesforce launching work.com as a resource to help businesses reopen safely.

Questions a+ certification

As always, CompTIA exams like to really test how well you follow instructions. Read the questions slowly and thoroughly. Then read the question again. I found myself flustered with a very simple question. Here’s what happened: On the 902 exam, one of the interactive questions asked to configure a new disk while accounting for future redundancy. Simple enough! So I went to initialize it and set the partitions as requested. There was a second disk available. I tried to configure a mirrored array.
