Question 14 Single Choice
John is building a new gaming PC. He wants to ensure that the computer has a high-performance graphics component responsible for rendering detailed and realistic visuals in his games. Which component should John consider for this purpose?
Explanation
Click "Show Answer" to see the explanation here
The GPU, or Graphics Processing Unit, is a specialized component designed for rendering and processing graphics. It is responsible for handling complex calculations and rendering high-quality images and animations. GPUs are particularly important for gaming, as they significantly impact the visual quality and performance of games. The motherboard, also known as the system board, is the main circuit board that connects and allows communication between various hardware components in a computer system. While it is a crucial component, it does not directly contribute to graphics processing. RAM is a type of volatile memory that provides temporary storage for data that is actively being accessed by the CPU. It plays a crucial role in overall system performance by providing fast and temporary storage for data and instructions. However, it is not directly responsible for graphics processing. The CPU is often referred to as the "brain" of the computer. It performs calculations, executes instructions, and manages data flow within the system. While the CPU contributes to overall system performance, including gaming performance, it is not specifically designed for graphics processing.

Question 17 Single Choice
What is the primary purpose of using password managers?
Explanation
Click "Show Answer" to see the explanation here
One of the main advantages of using password managers is that they store passwords in an encrypted format. This helps protect the passwords from unauthorized access in case of a data breach or unauthorized access to the password manager itself. Password managers often have the capability to generate random and complex passwords for users. This is advantageous as it helps users create strong and unique passwords without having to remember them but this is not a password manager's primary purpose. Password managers encourage users to use unique passwords for each site or service they use. Reusing passwords across multiple sites can be a security risk, as a compromise of one site can potentially lead to unauthorized access to other accounts. Password managers do not eliminate the need for password expiration. Password expiration is a separate security measure that is typically implemented to ensure that passwords are regularly changed, reducing the risk of compromised passwords.

Pseudocode is a great tool for simplifying and structuring complex problems. It allows developers to understand and implement the solution easily by providing a high-level representation of the logic. Flowcharts can help break down complex processes into more manageable stages, streamline work processes, and visualize the sequence of steps needed to complete the project. While assigning roles is a crucial part of project organization, it doesn't necessarily simplify the complexity of the project itself. It's more linked to managing resources than reducing complexity. While it's crucial to leverage individual team members' strengths, over-reliance on a single person can create bottlenecks and slow the team's overall productivity. A balanced distribution of tasks is typically more effective. Assigning tasks randomly without clear roles and responsibilities can lead to confusion, lack of accountability, and inefficiencies.

Explanation
Click "Show Answer" to see the explanation here
OBJ 3.3 - Remote desktop functionality in software allows IT support staff to access and control systems belonging to offsite employees. This feature is essential for performing remote diagnostics, maintenance, or updates directly on those systems. Process automation software is geared towards automating routine tasks and processes within an organization and does not include remote system access. Enterprise resource planning software integrates various functions of an organization but does not facilitate direct remote access to individual desktops for IT support. Virtual private networking primarily provides secure remote connections to a network but does not inherently include functionality for directly accessing or controlling remote systems. For support or reporting issues, include Question ID: 664644c38c6444e2a5156769 in your ticket. Thank you.

Question 20 Single Choice
Jake is concerned about privacy and he doesn't want companies to track his browsing habits. What can Jake employ to achieve this in his web browser?
Explanation
Click "Show Answer" to see the explanation here
Private browsing mode, such as Incognito mode in Chrome, Firefox's Private Window or Safari's Private Browsing, will not store a record of the online activity on his computer, meaning sites won't be able to utilize this information. Valid certificates ensure a secure connection between the web browser and a website, but they do not prevent tracking. Unless specific extensions or add-ons are designed to enhance privacy, they do not generally prevent companies from tracking online activity. Caching speeds up page load times but it would not prevent companies from tracking the online activity. For support or reporting issues, include Question ID: 649c7ab438f1b38c0a107df9 in your ticket.
