Big day tomorrow, taking an Engineering test for work. Pass it, and I’m in the front of the line for a promotion next year.

 

[Unsustainable]

Aced the test, it’s certified with Work, I’m good at math.

Now to the waiting game.

Congrats!

I’ve already had an informal interview, it’s how I was referred for the test.

Any of you switch from the iPhone ecosystem to the Android ecosystem? I am contemplating jumping from my iPhone 6+ to the new Google Pixel 2 XL, but I am not sure. I like the integration the Pixel has with the Google software that I use primarily, but the rest of my family is still in the iOS ecosystem (though we all use Google calendar and gmail primarily in iOS), so I worry about how much of a hassle that will be.

I'd appreciate any advice or thoughts or experiences from those who have done that type of switch.

I have the original Pixel and love it, but I've also been in the Android camp since 2011ish. The OS has grown up a lot since I first bought in.

Everything JCLA said about Android, I would say about iOS. I have an iPhone for work, which sits unused for months at a time because I don't need it and I hate the interface. Just a matter of preference I guess.

It’s crazy the evolution of the transport of information has evolved over the years.

For me: 2001 - Hey that’s a T1, be careful working on that.
2002 - That’s a DS3 (28 T1s), take that down, and you’re in a lot of trouble.
2003 - The OC3 (3 DS3), That’s a bit of traffic.
2007 - OC48 is too slow, time for OC192 (10GBS).

Today - This new system is a 960 GIG router, and here’s some 100gig lines to customers now.

Neither do I but I have a feeling that’s something every parent has wanted to do at some point.

I remember when I learned what a T1 was. Became a big fan of those very quickly.

 

[Lempo]

I had no idea what T1 was but I preferred it in Napster.

A full t1 is 24 channels at 64kbs, 1 channel (#24 is the D channel) it’s for signaling and overhead.

living in the NCSU dorms in the late 90s totally spoiled me for internet speeds for YEARS afterwards. that sweet T1 connex. I got banned my 3rd year from using the campus internet because I was running an mp3 FTP server out of my dorm room that was getting ridiculous amounts of traffic.
