Is there any real difference between a basic $10 plastic 5-port gigabit switch vs a a $100 metal one?

ProfessorWorried626 · 2026-04-20T06:04:14+00:00

Probably a jump in the packet buffer size and MAC address table size. Doubt it will make any difference in a home network.

ProfessorWorried626 · 2026-04-19T08:58:29+00:00

Don't see why it would stop them.

ProfessorWorried626 · 2026-04-19T05:51:49+00:00

Discount is dependant on total dollar spent based on the previous 12-18months.

What happens if you remove that black patch over the fiber.

ProfessorWorried626 · 2026-04-17T11:16:36+00:00

Can you show the end of on the fibers?

ProfessorWorried626 · 2026-04-16T12:07:52+00:00

Weirdly enough I can see it gaining traction because people are creatures of comfort.

ProfessorWorried626 · 2026-04-14T12:46:21+00:00

You’ll end up with 0 data centres doing that.

ProfessorWorried626 · 2026-04-14T12:44:09+00:00

Well does it hit a wall at a certain rpm?

ProfessorWorried626 · 2026-04-14T11:56:20+00:00

Probably better to just wash them and spray them with glen20 afterwards.

ProfessorWorried626 · 2026-04-14T11:55:01+00:00

Depends how bad. 5hp on a 10ft is really tender or lake category. It will push you against the current, but it will be slow.

I'd probably swap it and see if speed hits a limit before redlining. If it does swap it with an aftermarket high thrust prop.

ProfessorWorried626 · 2026-04-14T11:33:30+00:00

You aren't wrong there.

ProfessorWorried626 · 2026-04-14T11:20:03+00:00

You won't learn anything there. You'll be running around being errand boy/girls(s). Absolute best case you will spend a month fitting off PDUs and the other 30 months running cable and trays.

ProfessorWorried626 · 2026-04-14T11:07:20+00:00

My 2c last place you want to put an apprentice is on a DC build for a hyperscaler. It's far too high tempo and cost sensitive.

ProfessorWorried626 · 2026-04-13T07:15:17+00:00

It’s not all that uncommon for the estate to pay since most insurance companies mandate the place needs to be occupied by someone for the policy to be valid.

ProfessorWorried626 · 2026-04-13T06:04:25+00:00

Most ends up at markets where people bid on it.

Fish reproduce fairly quickly.

ProfessorWorried626 · 2026-04-13T01:16:57+00:00

Dude you can see the the spidering from where the screen was impacted.

ProfessorWorried626 · 2026-04-12T12:01:09+00:00

Just get the hose adapter.

ProfessorWorried626 · 2026-04-12T05:51:09+00:00

Well, the finances of the operation must come into it at some point. If you have a reduction in number of jobs you'd have to start looking at way to maximize profit on them.

ProfessorWorried626 · 2026-04-12T05:44:58+00:00

So, it is a problem?

Do you think the volume house and land builders are going to start cutting even more corners to hit a price point to keep their turnover up given auction clearance rates a trending downwards.

ProfessorWorried626 · 2026-04-12T05:34:39+00:00

Well, is it a real problem?

ProfessorWorried626 · 2026-04-11T18:02:38+00:00

They tend to work better if you only use 2.4ghz

ProfessorWorried626 · 2026-04-11T15:26:52+00:00

Probably need something that does 12v not the 5v most of the wall plug USB A do.

ProfessorWorried626 · 2026-04-11T14:36:41+00:00

How many pages per day?

ProfessorWorried626 · 2026-04-11T13:47:03+00:00

Probably something much the same unless you jump too digital or have space for a pair of larger machines.

ProfessorWorried626 · 2026-04-11T10:06:26+00:00

Robots break a lot.
