My router was free with my fibre connection and it's worked perfectly for three years along with the free TV streaming box
My car cost 12k brand new cos it's a little shitbox and that's all I need
My pc was about 3k and I built it myself
I'm guessing here, but it sounds like you're an pretentious dick and I wouldn't ask for advice anyway
I think the point he’s trying to make is that he works on specialized network gear for enterprises and really isn’t the right person to go for IT support for your home internet issue. Not that you’re beneath him.
I kinda understand too, I have spent a lot of time in highly specialized technical domains and people often then ask me for tech support for things like their printer or whatnot that I am ignorant of.
Bingo
He's saying he works on enterprise gear. It's different. In networking, a lot of similar but other than rebooting shit, there isnt much to do.
And managing servers, services, using terraform or Jenkins, docker, podman, kubernetes or any other enterprise tool isn't the same as fixing your computer not printing.
Totally different skills
I’ve seen a ton of response across lemmy like this. People are just primed to get hostile/argumentative for no reason and, as in this case, because they completely failed to comprehend the original post.
Maybe because the original post seems awfully arrogant, if you don't know the context - and the post didn't provide any context.
I've seen a ton of responses like yours. You're implying that everyone gets the context, if they don't, you assume everything is "hostile" if it's not the exact line of thought you happen to support.
Accept that other people live different lives from yours and have different experiences and knowledge.
Things running in a datacenter might not be quite analogous to consumer equipment.
Is how I would interpret their comment.
