That is not a very good circle, to be fair.

When you are allowed into the vicinity of this kind of equipment, you should be able to identify matching shapes without circles in the first place...
Ooooh, like that video where every piece fits in the square hole!
They obviously shouldn't be allowed to be in the vicinity of that switch. And that's the support person's fault.
That’s right, it goes into the square hole
a tech illiterate old friend of mine in his 60s got tasked with changing his simcard for new one. But the network just didn't appear. Long story short after 3 hrs of headbashing I asked him to send me the photo of simcard itself
that was a valuable afternoon for my humility

note the right side of simcard frame bulging out
for confused in terminology
I used to work at a phone repair shop. The amount of people that put Sim cards in their brand new phone without the tray. We would have to take the phones apart to get their Sim cards out.
And when it doesn't work, they ram it HARDER
and then people wonder how porn stereotypes can be harmful
I'm literally scared of disassembling stuff over like plastic clips while people just feel ok with ramming stuff in like that wha
What am I seeing?
alt text is added, cheers
Isn't the "standard" sim card in you pic actually mini-sim? While the standard one is credit card-sized? I think I have a phone somewhere that takes a credit card sized sim actually.
To be fair, most people here probably have a mini SIM as their first SIM card.
I think this really comes down to whether the employee was IT (and to an extent part of the network team). If so, I'd say there's a lot of questions to be answered here. If not, there's also a lot of questions to be answered but not from that employee :P
To be slightly fair to the tech illiterate, there’s no sfp transceiver specified or shown in the picture… how the hell is someone supposed to plug that in?
Was the employee also given an a SFP or were they supposed to just make one out of thin air?
As a programmer, I don't even know what we're looking at. A switch, I would guess, but I haven't seen hardware in years. In any case wouldn't "port 21 <bottom|top>" been better?
In the bottom picture it looks like the top "port" is just an air intake.
Yeah, I had never seen a connector that looks anything like that, but I figured I was just behind the times (since it didn't look like Ethernet plugged into it to me)
Its not new tech but you'd most likely only see this in a datacenter or buildings with 10 Gb connections as this is fiber optic cabling. One would need an SFP to actually connect it to the port however. Also the tips of the fiber were probably scratched when installing it into the vent holes so the whole cable will probably be replaced and then fixed, so there are multiple failures here.
This is what an SFP looks like.
Thanks for explaining! I haven't set foot in a datacenter since probably 2008ish, heh.
I enjoyed this vid and as a contribution I'll spare y'all loading 20 MB of youtube JS

And instead you gift us with

Well, it works on my machine.
But we're people not machines.
it work in the browser lol
Works on Sync and it's it's hilarious!
Well, only about 15 MB of imgur JS instead.
Love the label SMART SOLUTION
I’m enjoying the idea of someone looking at the picture, looking at their cords, looking at the plugs, and then working this out as a solution rather than sending a picture of the plug end and port and asking for clarification.
Like this person probably felt really stupid needing to sort out what’s going on, because it was just unclear, and I enjoy where they ended up all the same. It’s totally wrong, but it’s creative problem solving for sure.
