which works with existing Cat5e cable

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

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

To be fair, Cat5e is hassle-free 😂

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.

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

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

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

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

it's the upcoming iPhone SSE Plus Max XXXXXL

[–] MajorHavoc 5 points 1 year 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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

Lady has velociraptor claws

Not an unreasonable assumption.

[–] thisNotMyName 7 points 1 year ago

That's the mystery to solve

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is marketed to impulse buys and idiots.

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

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

Why does the guy look like Walmart Adam Driver

The hair and the facial structure look similar
