For things that are "hmmm".
Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

There's no place like 127.0.0.1
Side note, the joke in The Simpsons is becoming increasingly obscure. Not only do you have to know about DOS command lines, you have to be familiar with the old "See Spot run" textbooks.
Ah yes, no place like localhost

:P
Can we meet at 192.168.1.69...... If you know what I mean.
I actually set my router to statically assign this IP to my computer
RJ11 vs. RJ45.
For when those jumbo frames are not big enough and you need a switch that supports super jumbo frames.
It looks like Microsoft is trying to bring back WINS. Those are clearly Window Frames.
It's not a switch, it's a patch bay.
Once spent a whole day troubleshooting a site remotely over the phone to re-establish network connection
The client assured me the server was connected to the network switch. It wasn't until some repeated questioning about the indicator lights on the switch, which were mysteriously absent, that I realised we were talking about a patch panel and not a network switch.
This was before facetiming and decent res photo cameras on mobile phones.
Yup, status LEDs are great for over-the-phone troubleshooting. If you suspect somebody unplugged a thing and everyone says it's running, ask for them to check the power LED's color.
the usefulness of most status LEDs is what makes NICs whose LEDs shine and even blink when they are totally unplugged that much more infuriating.
Ouchie, I felt your pain.
That is a really big router or switch.
If you imagine it a hub, the network collisions get a lot more interesting!
The Great Switch Collider
The left one is a VOIP-to-landline converter.
Who lives in switch port 7!?
I hear this location is well connected
Best internet connection in the entire neighborhood.
CONNECTING THE WORLD
is it 10 gig?
There could be that many Airbnbs.
That house better be a pokemon go gym called "the switch"
This is what happens when the architect can't be bothered anymore and just start submitting things they found on their desk.
ConnectPort at the plaza.
I immediately thought of space invaders game.
i think they have good experience with their so own lo interface
^^^sup.Looks like Japan. Any GeoGuessrs know where?
probably, the way they turn their footsteps into electricity helps power giant switches like these
There's way too much detail for geoguessr, They like a blurry photo of a dirt road.
This pebble looks Bolivian...
The footpath has tiles found in Japan. The cycle sign is also quite common there. And the shop has japanese writing
It'd be crazy if this were outside Japan
And driving on the left
Not a geoguesser but I'd say near tokyo. I haven't seen such protected cycle parks in Tokyo. The footpath tiles are very similar to the ones in Tokyo though
