lmao just bought one of these last week! Glad the fix is already out.

And no, I didn’t buy it for its looks xD It’s actually a decent router that does additional things I needed.

I’ve seen this over and over in corporate environments.

Suit A has a terrible idea but enough fawning bootlickers to get the process moving.

Worker A, an employee, knows this is a terrible idea but doesn’t say anything because they wanna keep their job.

Contractor B, obv a contractor, is there to make money and hopefully turn their stint into something more, so they speak up. And get canned.

What is it about Suits that they can’t listen to literally anyone but their own echo chambers? Oh yeah, they’re angling to jump into a bigger echo chamber. The 1%.

“Well, BYE!”

Because you can’t pack it up in a box and ship it to just anyone. They have to make it specifically for you. Hence case-by-case.

AI said kill this guy right here

Worse, they’ll let them sit in those pools for years until someone actually comes and TAKES them.

If people don’t just say no to this garbage, it will continue. Honestly I think I’m gonna go to an Audi dealership this weekend and crank the salesguys up before walking out on principle.

Heheh you feel better now?

Guess you missed the word probably, but okay

That’s very likely what happened. The problem is that the control board that manages communications is so old that nobody can find any documentation on how it works, so they can’t even begin to figure out a fix.

Everyone involved with that project is also probably dead.
