I still use my Garmin Geko even now. Useful as a basic device recording a track I can geocode photos with, and runs for days on two AAA batteries. In a pinch you can reverse a track and go back the way you came too 😅

According to ChatGPT there are 799 episodes of Star Trek from TNG onwards (this is just my personal preference… you may wish to include TOS and TAS)

At one a night, that will take over two years, in which time, there will doubtless be another series or four, plus extra seasons of the existing ones…

If it’s present, and loop guard is enabled, it would block the ports. This looks like an unmanaged switch so probably doesn’t have that feature.

Most of Netgear’s managed switch range have a loop guard function, even if they don’t do full STP.

I imagine they might… Who do you think the people funding them are?

They’re extremely proud of small donations, but have capped larger ones at £1,250, not wanting to be beholden to anyone.

I can understand scepticism, but given their coal protest against labour prime minister Tony Blair I feel whether they agree with the actions of the people in power are more important to them than the party political flavour.
