    In my experience the only ones that don't look weird in a work email are:

    :) :( ;)

    Anything else is going to be seen as weird and superfluous. u :3 would be a hard no for myself, and I know it would get me weird attention that I wouldn't want.

    This very much depends on your industry, workplace, and coworkers.

  • OSHA are the good guys, they are who you can call when shit gets dangerous and the bosses don't care.

  • Either your cables are made with the absolute worst insulation I have ever heard of, or your environment is doing something to the cable. I have done networking in 200 year old building with CAT3 from the 1990s that still works today. I installed a CAT6 cable in my parents house in 2003 that still works.

    If I ever had a cable in a wall just go bad I would put that cable vendor on the blacklist immediately. Is it possible that the cables are being damaged during installation?

    I agree that wifi is a great fallback option, but what happens when the cable running to the AP deteriorates?

  • Many people find Ethernet confusing.
    CAT6 and CAT5e are very similar, but standard CAT5 can not do above 100mbps duplex. 5e can, but isn't tested for 1000mbps duplex, whereas CAT6 is designed specifically for that speed. CAT6 doesn't actually need to have shielding to be CAT6 but in the early days it was a common way to meet the standards. The biggest difference is actually the connectors. You need CAT6 RJ45 to make a CAT6 cable. 5e cable with a 6 connector works better than CAT6 cable with a CAT5 RJ45 in my own testing. CAT5 connectors have pins that all line up straight across, CAT6 has staggered pins. This staggering helps prevent crosstalk between the wires.

    CAT8 is the current newest standard, and I am not brushed up on the standards specs yet. CAT7 was never made official, manufacturers made it ahead of time and it might be a little better than 6 but it almost never meets 8 standards, and is about the same price.

  • As somebody who does networking for a jerb, you are getting ripped off if you are paying $20 USD for a CAT6 wall plate. What you want to get is punch down keystones and a keystone wall plate, at least half the price. Maybe that's what they cost at the hardware store though, I haven't ever had to buy one from there. I order all mine.

  • I agree. You have to either be in the tech sphere or privacy sphere to know about fediverse apps. Outside of reddit refugees I don't think anyone using the normal apps know about fediverse options or what that even means to be decentralized. I don't think it's really a functionality or convenience issue, we really need our own special interest groups or something to help with fedi app branding and PR. Not sure if that is even something that is crowd sourceble?

  • Matt said he quit his McDonald’s branch in the Midlands last year because of what he calls a "toxic" work environment.

    He said he was bullied for having a learning disability and an eye condition.

  • Yes, I would now like to have a duck sponge holder as well. Thanks.

  • The video game is based on the Cyberpunk Tabletop/pen and paper RPG. Think like D&D but in the world of cyberpunk, hacking instead of spells, etc. I'm not an expert (still trying to get a real life game together tbh) but I don't think any of the TTRPG games have focused much outside of night city. You can of course put your game anywhere, but the premade stuff is all in and around night city.

  • I think you got ripped off. Darjeeling has a different taste than Irish Breakfast, but I'm terrible at describing tastes.

  • Boars Head had federally mandated inspections as well.

  • Oh, that makes sense. Nobody likes Ohio.

  • This is offensive to my people's culture.

  • Humans need to step our game up. Our penises could be so much louder.

  • They are still flowers though. It's probably not entirely wrong to think of them as related to other flowers, I didn't know anything about them until I took the picture.

  • They are not photosynthesizing plants, they are parasites of fungi! Pretty cool looking in person, almost translucent. One of my hikes this year had a bunch of clumps of these on the trail.

  • I thought these where ghost pipes:
