Sorry for the super sporadic posting. Still in the process of moving and everything. I am giving updates on my Mastodon and [email protected] if anyone is interested but there’s really no reason to be.
Hope everyone has a fantastic Friday. Live long and prosper, you glorious bastards.
That’s a tough oversight, but how does that get by QA?
Guessing QA test script does not specify which port to plug the ethernet cable into. So they choose whichever is closest to their dominant hand.
Probably because no one in there was using ethernet cables with snag protectors to design or test.
In fairness, if this was targeted to medium-large corporates they would expect to be using manually terminated cables which don’t have that feature.
I’m sure someone added that type cable to the testing procedure after this though.
That micro-USB port isn’t great either. And the leds seem quite hard to read.
I guess nobody fully assembled a prototype and tried to use it.
Not that it changes anything about its poor placement, but that looks like mini USB to me 🤓
Yep, Cisco uses Mini USB. For some reason.
(That’s used for a built-in USB to serial adapter for console access.)But I guess it shouldn’t be a surprise. They also chose RJ-45 for serial port instead of DB9 as usual.
