meanwhile professional gear (i.e. #networking) comes in 3 flavours:
1."You won't notice me in your fancy office! Feel free to paint over me if you do so anyway..."
2."This is PRO GEAR SPEC! Where are the Rack Nuts? Also gimme redundant power please..."
3."I'm RUGGED af! Shove me into your filthy edge cabinet, hook me up to your janky power, old custom industrial equipment and don't worry about fans, cuz I got none... Muhahaha!"
@JessTheUnstill or rather the same WiFi Chipset and/or decade-long unmaintained Firmware with more CVEs than clients it's DHCP server can handle and more #Shitcoin-#mining and #DDoS-#Botnet-#Malware targeting it than it has Ethernet ports in the rear...
I miss the "1960s intra-office intercom to the typing pool" aesthetic. Faux wood panelling, large rocker switches, sizeable speaker grills. Intended to occupy a not-small portion of a desk, alongside the large blotter. It should also have an attached custom pen. And smell like cigars and scotch. That's an aesthetic. I miss that it isn't a choice anymore. I also wouldn't choose it. I just want it to be a choice.
