It's certainly not your fault. Nobody could have been certain prices would explode this much.

I’m really glad I met my memory needs last year. The price is completely unjustifiable. AI will blow over (revert to reasonable expectations) and when it does, hopefully there will be something left of the market so that we still have companies left to sell us RAM.

An unmanaged switch is a simple, zero-configuration network device that connects multiple Ethernet devices together. This is by far the most common type of switch because they're cheaper to make and satisfy most needs in the home and small office. There are no settings to configure, and the device generally avoids inspecting the traffic it switches. Unmanaged switches are commodity products that are all pretty much same, varying only in the number of ports and speeds provided. These are made in large volumes.

Managed switches add a central processor (CPU) for device administration. This design enables configuration settings which is usually an important precursor to have features such as VLANs, QoS, IGMP snooping, and port security. Businesses need managed switches to implement security policies. In addition to the added hardware, businesses have deep pockets, and managed switches are no longer simple commodities because comparing the advanced feature set and software is no longer trivial. Professional managed switches can cost thousands.

Only recently have we seen pro-sumer switches occupy the space in between these two options by offering some managed features (VLANs) while reserving necessary enterprise features (port security, DHCP snooping, reporting) to segment the market. I bought one for $25 the other day which is almost the same as an unmanaged switch. I would no longer recommend buying an unmanaged switch to anyone with even a passing interest in home networking.

What has been seen... cannot be un-seen.

An intern at work once asked me what a CD was and I had to explain that it was a vinyl for computers.

It’s an excellent case in point for why they don’t care at all about laws. They just want to hurt people.

I hardly have a doctor (Who can afford that?) but I use the insurance website to search for nearby providers because coverage is most important to me. Then, I look at reviews of their offices on Google Maps before calling to see if they're taking new patience for final selection.

Joke's on you that goofy-ass shit has been dead for decades.

I write this affectionately.

I tried. This isn't a very good video, but you can kinda see it's still trying to crawl away after it's been eaten at several points. I might have had 20 or so in a pile fresh out of the water and they were much more active. I hope this helps.

I like the fat ones. The long ones don't taste good.

It’s true! I would collect them in a pail from the tidal pools as a child. I would crack them open with whatever I had available and eat them, and the halves would still be running around on the ground after I discarded the rest.

The parts of urchin, the remains, they would skitter around and bunch up in one corner of the yard trying to get away like they didn’t realize they’d been eaten yet even though there was nothing left inside.

These guys always made me feel uncomfortable. I would collect and eat them, and the remains would run away afterward.

Well, they won’t be accessing my personal folders and files because I just won’t use Windows. Thanks but no thanks. That’s really creepy.
