which works with existing Cat5e cable

Lmfao, sounds like a pretty standard thing for a 2.5Gb switch to do lol

To be fair, Cat5e is hassle-free πŸ˜‚

Why is the lady second from the left holding a giant phone?

I hope this is a sign of the future of advertising with AI generated stock images. I can't wait to see a full length commercial with an attractive person enjoying a refreshing Pepsi in each of their three hands.

And what the hell is going on with her hands??

I think it might be some kind of terminal that she’s standing in front of, while using her thumbs to input data. Her left hand pinky isn’t in frame.

Lady has velociraptor claws

Not an unreasonable assumption.

Isn't she holding the switch, the product being advertised? She's probably AI generated which is why her hands are fubar.

If that switch is that big, it should have a few more arguments than "works with cat 5e" :D

[–] Damage@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 years ago

The thing she's holding has rounded corners, the switch doesn't

It feels like all of the people except the last one is AI generated. Look at how they hold the phones. Who uses only their thumb, index and middle fingers to hold and use a phone like the 3rd person does?

This is marketed to impulse buys and idiots.

There is a good reason I don't amazon anything anymore.

Best price I could find for a 2.5 with 8 ports from a non-chinese company
