    The magic internet box says Linksys on it. Some of the cables in it are red, should they be green? Maybe the internets only work if they see a green cable, you know, like a green traffic light?

      You might think so, but that’s a common misconception with broadband - the red cables actually help the data flow faster.

        That is because they stop all other data in order to do so.

        Best is to use orange cables, which still allow everyone to send data, but at a greater speed than green.

          Here I was thinking orange was prone to stopping at any time… Does the shade make a difference? I love a good burnt sienna, but if high-vis will be the better option, I don’t want to compromise for the sake of aesthetics.

    This gave me a good laugh

    Never working any job that requires me to speak directly to customers. Having worked in a call center for far too long, all I can say is fuck that noise.

    If you ask a customer this question, you’re bad at your job. But I don’t blame you for flexing on grandma so you feel better, because we will never get to retire like she did.

      I mean Netgear isn’t even that bad of an answer. Like we’re in the right chapter of the dictionary. Yes my dictionary is by category not alphabetical. Bet you don’t even own a physical dictionary. Come to think of it, me neither. Huh.
