Probably something like this (forgive the red circle, not my edit)

Looks as though it can be stowed in the twin landing gear looking doors

TUBA: Terrible Underwater Breathing Apparatus

I feel like I'm being judged...and I don't think it's going to end well 😂

You should also post to [email protected] so everyone can enjoy this pic

TIL - Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation

That reminds me, so is SCUBA, RADAR and MODEM...I miss the old History Channel shows, especially Modern Marvels

SCUBA: Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus (Blew my mind for some reason when I learned that)
RADAR: Radio Detection and Ranging (I've watched alot of WWII documentaries)
MODEM: Modulation Demodulation (I've worked in tech)

Tegucigalpa is the capital of Honduras. No idea where I learned that

So close. It's like they knew they had to do something, just not exactly what

A little low effort, someone else can probably do a much better jerb

Do you remember if you could get to a rommon prompt? As long as console access is available you should've been able to upload replacement FW. I once had to use kermit or xmodem (I don't recall) @2400 bps to recover an AP by transferring new FW over the console cable (I'm not sure new APs even have a console port), but switches should be recoverable...the things you do, when you want to go home and not spend another day on site 🤣

My only caution would be to ensure that you use the correct FW. IIRC -L means Lan Base not IP Services, but it should warn you that there isn't enough space, if that's the case

It's an old joke, when a switch (or any electronics really) has 365+ day uptime rebooting could kill the power supply during its POST power supply test.

Realistically you shouldn't have to worry about it, those are solid switches. I have a 3524 from 2001 that's still running, it gets bounced about once a year when I bump the power cable while recabling. I also have a 2960G that's on a UPS, and without logging in I couldn't tell you the uptime

2007, excellent year! Also, I swear Cisco those older switches are will run forever (as long as you don't reboot it too often 😂)

Please forgive me, of the many things I've forgotten...this is...one of them. I could've sworn there used to be an updated rolling sticky with 3-4 (maybe more?) build suggestions from 'meh' to 'super ultra mega I can't afford space kraken' posted and maintained by people way smarter than I am, somewhere on the main page/sidebar of PCMR.

I've got a ~6 year old mini-ITX AMD build that I'm hoping to replace with something similar, and I'd used those suggestions last time with great success. I'm hoping to build something that'll last another 6 years. If anyone has any idea what the heck I'm talking about, I'd appreaciate you pointing me the right direction.
Thanks in advance!
