which works with existing Cat5e cable

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

[-] metaStatic@kbin.social 18 points 7 months ago

it's literally the entire point of 2.5G. you don't have to replace the wires in the walls.

[-] GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

To be fair, Cat5e is hassle-free 😂

Until a rodent chews through it.

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.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago

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

[-] Damage@slrpnk.net 4 points 7 months ago

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

[-] Land_Strider@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

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?

Who doesn't honestly

[-] thisNotMyName@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

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

[-] ares35@kbin.social 10 points 7 months ago

it's the upcoming iPhone SSE Plus Max XXXXXL

[-] MajorHavoc@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Nice. I heard the next Samsung will be the same size, but have a slightly larger bevel around the screen, but we will have to wait a year for it. /s

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

It's also the same form-factor as the iPhone Max 3 generations in the future, and the iPhone Mini in 3 generations.

[-] thisNotMyName@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

That's the mystery to solve

[-] dojan@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

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

[-] DigitalPaperTrail@kbin.social 4 points 7 months ago

didn't Amazon roll out their service to generate AI images for sellers to advertise their products recentish? or that might still be in the works

[-] don@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

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.

[-] dojan@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

Lady has velociraptor claws

[-] don@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

Not an unreasonable assumption.

[-] metaStatic@kbin.social 8 points 7 months ago

2.5g isn't real, it can't hurt you.

[-] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 5 points 7 months ago

This is marketed to impulse buys and idiots.

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

[-] thisNotMyName@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

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

[-] x4740N@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Why does the guy look like Walmart Adam Driver

The hair and the facial structure look similar
