How to get better at CTFs?

Hey I'm a pretty new beginner and I've been struggling with CTFs. I find them really fun when I know what I'm doing . I have started with PicoCTF and got through about 4 different challenges but I'm stumped on the ones after. I feel like sometimes I just don't know what to do with the hints at all. I'll take a glance at a write up sometimes but it makes me feel bad because I didn't figure it out myself. Any tips? I haven't tried any in Tryhackme or Hackthebox yet because I'm not sure if I'm ready. Also as far as I know , Tryhackme doesn't seem to have a way to participate without using their in-web VM?? Might be wrong about that , but I'd prefer to use my own.

Thanks for advice in advance!!

NFC/rfid

I have always been intrigued by NFC and RFID. I was wondering what a good card reader/writer for PC would be. I have found the standalone devices that work, but I'm looking for something that would be a little more versatile. To summarize, I'm looking for a decent reader/writer. Any good suggestions would be appreciated!

Why does "Russian Hackers" have such a big reputation?

This might be a dumb question, and sorry if my english is bad but im just curious.
I was just curious about why a lot of people have this idea of Russian hackers being "the best", or hackers with the "most power".
What caused Russian hackers to draw so much attention to be deemed "some of the best hackers?"

Chinese hackers have a pretty big reputation as well but~ this is kinda hard to explain sry if my english is bad but uh. I'll try explain what I mean, hopefully you get the point.
When someone hears "Russian hacker" they think of "wow scary" "very powerful" etc. When someone hears just the word "Hacker" they don't think of "ooo very scary and powerful" or well~ compared to Russian hackers.

What's the history / logic behind that?

Learning CyberSecurity

Currently studying for my Security+ cert as well as python (both for tech but because I wanted to for a long time) and networking.

Currently practicing with labs, watching tutorials and reading write ups in the field. Something I haven’t learned yet is if I get into a system how do I then patch it to prevent it from happening?

Red Team Attacks Blue Team Defends

Obviously I’m gonna learn and look this up in the future but I hardly ever see on how to patch said vuln or exploit.

Has anyone had luck rolling back firmware on Apple AirPods? Newest firmware (3E751 - April 2021) for First Generation AirPods is causing bad connectivity.

First Generation AirPods are becoming unusable due to the most recent update. This model is now discontinued and coincidentally sending your First Generation AirPods in for repair is the same price as new Second Generation AirPods with a warranty. Apple is aware is this problem, and I doubt they plan to roll out an update.
