Quoth the Socket „Nevermore.“

[–] ApeNo1@lemm.ee 18 points 1 year ago

This simply converts an ethernet LAN port to wireless WiFI IEEE 802.11AC (110v AC in US and 220v AC in other regions). Pretty standard stuff. At least that is what the IT support guy in the alley behind the pizza place told me when I bought it.

DIY PoE injector

Ah yes, IEEE 802.3.nope

Perfect for when they took your red stapler

Ooh, this is the rare 110v to e-waste converter!

[–] sidewalker@thesidewalkends.io 9 points 1 year ago

Heheh. I laugh-snorted at this one. Good show.

This is what it feels like when your router gets fried because fecking DSL isn't lightning-proof

Is that what PoE means?

[–] dan1101@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I don't need no fancy boxes for PoE.

That's some good BOFH stuff right there.

Finally a cord for my vacuum that only has an rj45. If anyone spots a 220v to mico-usb, let me know. My stove has been offline for weeks.

[–] Steam-Roller@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Love it!

[–] WhyIDie@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

ah, yes, this would be perfect for my internet-enabled rubber ducky for baths

Alright, I'm gonna ask: This is a joke cable right?

Every time I see something I'm absolutely sure is a joke cable, somebody links me to a piece of real hardware that actually needs that monstrosity of a cable.

But this time, I am 99% sure... Nothing actually could possibly have any use for this cable....right?

I would be more sure if one end wasn't a network cable end. Networking people have some deeply weird cables...
