Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

This is how many companies generate a p/n, unless marketing gets involved.
Just doesn't sound as sexy as NetFuckerPro Phantom Xtreme. With four ports and speeds up to 100Mbps!
I understand you might've meant it as a joke, but if the universe allows it and there is a netfuckerpro, I will buy it twenty times before I even read the specs of the crs5b278n492653b
And that's why companies spend money on marketing lol
You're right, and it's Stockholm Syndrome from a century of ad psychology refinement.
Yep, I've even personally witnessed the arguments in business to business sales. When the marketing gets invited, sanity is no longer a welcome.
The problem is that it's often harder to get the technical end-user to convince their non-technical boss to buy your product than to convince the boss directly. But you gotta use non-technical arguments then.
I don't see it a lot with consumer electronics. Most other network switches I've dealt with don't have as useful names as MikroTik's.
TP-Link have a switch called the TL-SX3016F. Sure, you can guess that the 16 means 16 ports, but there's no discernable info other than that. Netgear have names like XS716T which are also meaningless other than the 16. D-link have DGS-1510-20 which is similar (20 ports).
The tp link s= switch x=10g 30 is probably generation or model tier 16= ports F= SFP
