“I said I wanted Switch 2!”
“Switch 2? What’s wrong with the first one I gave you?”
I have a couple of 8-port Gigabit Netgear switches that have been working perfectly for about 15 years, now.
I sort-of forget about them. They just work. It's nice.
I literally asked for a network switch for my birthday a few days ago. Although it's a 16x sfp+ switch for my home fiber rollout.
I didn't get it because it didn't go on sale and I told my mom not to. Although I suspect she didn't listen to me and got it for Christmas (it's impossible to tell her not to get a present she knows you want, and also to not spend the budget she set aside).
So, now you're waiting till Christmas? Or, will you end up with two of them?
This is getting out of hand!
bruh
That switch predates the switch by quite a while
I'm doing NetworkChuck's Summer of CCNA. I know what a switch is now :)
At least it's a proper Cisco one and not those shitty Linksys/SG ones.
Unfortunately it’s a Cisco one, so there’s probably recurring support costs tied to it.
Got to teach them about support contracts now otherwise Pal Alto will gouge them with their credits system.
At least your dad is not black.
This comment confused me until I remembered that Community scene.
Yep , that’s what I meant :)
Wtf.
