Gotta get cables with a tab protector! They're lifesavers.

    the boot is certainly a nice thing to have!

    but we all keep our rj45s and crimpers handy right? we all live this low voltage life? Right?

    RIGHT??

    I remember trying to terminate some Cat5e in uni. I don't think a single one of the cables I made up were able to do gigabit... actually I don't think a single one was able to do 100 megabit. I'm colourblind so ordering the wires correctly was essentially impossible, but all of us involved were fucking up in various ways...

    Personally, I prefer the ones that don’t kill my fingers, or none at all

    How do they review reboot switches?

    I actively despise those things. When they’re the full boot they tend to be too tough. When they’re the tiny little things they do almost nothing. Plus the tabs will still break anyways eventually.
