Sorry for the super sporadic posting. Still in the process of moving and everything. I am giving updates on my Mastodon and !stamets@lemmy.world if anyone is interested but there’s really no reason to be.

Hope everyone has a fantastic Friday. Live long and prosper, you glorious bastards.

    That micro-USB port isn’t great either. And the leds seem quite hard to read.

    I guess nobody fully assembled a prototype and tried to use it.

      Not that it changes anything about its poor placement, but that looks like mini USB to me 🤓

        Yep, Cisco uses Mini USB. For some reason.
        (That’s used for a built-in USB to serial adapter for console access.)

        But I guess it shouldn’t be a surprise. They also chose RJ-45 for serial port instead of DB9 as usual.

          Does any USB variant have a “right” side up?

            The USB symbol on the connector should be up. I think that means the wide side of a mini should be down, but I’m looking for a cable…

            EDIT: and no, the one on the device is on the correct position.
