Feeling ashamed about all those hours of research?

you know, I literally never cared about her existence, but now that I look at her....maybe? Is there anything I'm missing?

All I can say about that.  Facial structure, hands, shoulders.  Something ain't right.

You must not know much about switches.

I do.

For a LAN party that's only going to be up 2 days with like 100-200 people, unmanaged switches (or managed switches with next to no config) would be completely fine, and it would be plug-n-play.

For an idea, we were using linksys 24 + 2 (or maybe just 24) enterprise switches at lan syndicate, and managed to brick one of the 15 switches and about a dozen individual ports with the loads we put on them.

You don't brick switches by putting load on them, especially not in 2 days.

It's not a bloody car you rev too high.

 

You were probably unlucky, doing something wrong, or the switches didn't actually get bricked (in before you had something like storm control enabled and the ports were just in error-disabled).

Maybe this is what happens when you hire Quin... He breaks your equipment.

I 100% agree. Never really even looked at her face before, google her picture, I got man vibes immediately. Like, I'm surprised I didn't notice first glance. Really well done, but the face structure, the prominence of her adams apple, or rather the fact she's always wearing something on her neck there, one picture looks like she puts a lot makeup on her neck...

yah I'm hoping someone can explain this to me, what did they do? wrap them in a towel and set a hair dryer in front of it? 

I mean, any properly made switch cut out for a large job like that won't overheat, even at maximum throughput, or at least I thought.

Yeah I never EVER  thought of her as having a dick until I saw that thread on reddit mention it...all these years I felt there was something off abut her lol...I just couldn't put my finger on it. 

it was her personality that prevented me from paying enough attention to notice.

wut

 

 

I don't understand, please explain. Networking is not my thing, but I've never heard of that, a heavy load bricking a switch/ports. 

I have to agree. I do this secularly and have never heard of load bricking a managed switch. Degrade service? Sure. Brick it? I dont see how thats possible.

Really? So I wouldn't have to replace the switches in our companies backbone network every other day due to putting to much load on them?? 

So much downtime we could have saved!

I'm thinking his method of setting up a network is through trial and error..

So wait, are you making fun of the bricked switches thing or not?

I'm making fun of the conclusion as to why the switches bricked.

ok, that's what I thought, I've never heard of that, and google gave me nothing. I'm no networking expert, but all I've heard about as far as brick switches go are regular hardware failure at a small rate (defective), or heat issues with bad ventilation (like a telecommunications closet or neglected failed fans on crappy quality switches) or some kind of software issues when when writing to it

They were all brand new so its possible one had a destiny to die

This is an old message Logan sent to a viewer about Pistol. TBH I think this message is true, she has some observable distinct feminine traits which you won't find on a man.

On top of which a software brick and usually be fixed through console or other means. You can manage a firmware brick, but anything worth the money has a means to save itself or to flash back.

This makes me sad. I used to be a huge fan of Tek Syndicate. There was a time where they were my favorite tech channel. That time has sadly long passed. I hope Qain and Wendell keep the brand afloat. They've taught me so much over the years and I'd hate for them to stop making content after all of this.

Any chance you can host on imgur and link to it, internal image hosting is broken right now.

Wendell owns tek hardware and tek linux. Logan owns the tek syndicate channel and Wendell said he was going to continue to produce content.

In this day and age, you wouldn't ever experience that, not even with consumer grade hardware. Perhaps if it was equipment from back in the 70-80s.

Software issues should really not be a problem with enterprise hardware, what is more likely is a wrong setup, which would doom to fail at some point.

eh consumer grade stuff is always consumer grade. Had some asus router literally melt when I was file transferring over wifi once. The other one I still own gets really damn hot and resets all the time.

Anyway, the only time I have seen Qain talk about networking he has sounded like a fucking idiot who just makes shit up. Just saying "I have met him when I set up a LAN party so I know he is legit" doesn't prove anything. In what area is he specialized?

We established he isn't and that you disagree. We're also not impressed with your chest pounding about how professional you are if you're basically just here to talk him down yet I don't personally know any of your videos and tutorials on the subjects so excuse me if I don't just take your word for it.

 

Are you done derailing? Of course not but it's safe to say most of us are done replying to you on the subject.

Server rooms have pretty tight temperature control (if you're on an office or uni try walking into one without a jacket, it's almost like a walk in freezer sometimes) vs a fucking warehouse. It doesn't surprises me in the least but well I don't know the specifics I might be just talking nonsense and being an ignorant idiot according to LAwLz.
