Where on earth do you think you could stand and collect the most SSIDs in the world without moving an inch? Assume standard client type, no tricks like a directional antenna.
You can just do things.
I was having lunch in my office when I checked the Help Desk queue.
Ticket #884: "The Wi-Fi is spotty in the breakroom."
I marked it as Resolved.
I didn't fix the Wi-Fi.
I throttled it.
The breakroom is for eating. Not for streaming Netflix.
If you are buffering, you should be chewing.
I went to the server room and capped the breakroom VLAN at 1Mbps.
Employees are actually talking to each other.
They are making eye contact.
Community building through network latency.
You're welcome.
Judge Pitts granted the States the right to intervene today.
This means real scrutiny, possible delays, and potential changes to the DOJ’s settlement.
The Mist AI portion is absolutely not finalized and could still be strengthened, reworked, or even pushed toward divestiture.

Just in case you aren't following. The Mist AI portion of the HPE Juniper merger is starting to attract national political attention now. Under the Tunney Act, the Mist AI portion can change and it's NOT at all a done deal and can lead to divesture still.

I'm weary of people who talk constantly about frequencies when they aren't related to radio frequency engineering.
When the deal goes through for TikTok, Nashville is the likely where the newly created US TikTok HQ will reside.
This is where Oracle's HQ will be and they've been working on the East Bank project for awhile.
It only makes sense.

Just something for the IT pros out there that do work globally.
I didn't know how far and deep these restrictions are but as a US Citizen, you can't touch or even consult on Huawei products, even if you aren't on US soil.
It's official, no more passport stamps for any of the EU countries starting March 2026. The transition starts Oct 2025.
Having to get a passport renewed due to stamps was annoying since we haven't been able to add pages. I welcome this change!

Regarding the HPE Juniper merger. No company will ever signal or ever let you know when layoffs are coming and will lie straight to your face.
Stay informed my friends.
