On the other hand, understanding coax termination is much easier than figuring out what 5G or Wifi6 is doing with radio waves.

- apercu 1y agoSure? But I think the point stands. And why would anyone think that a terminator would go bad until you’ve tried everything else and finally you swap them out and all of a sudden the network chatter stops and things go back to normal? It’s an experience thing and I worry that most of us are too abstracted from the underlying systems these days to properly understand them. It’s pretty common in my other world (info sec policy).
- lmz 1y agoJust saying that the abstraction tower has grown a lot higher since your days and the most common tech in use today is surprisingly complicated.
