A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

MODERATORS
From this design flaw we can determine that Cisco doesn't use Ethernet cables with protective boots
Even without the boot, I would think that a person's thumb would hit the button regardless.
They would have had to pick an RJ45 with that kind of boot (there are other kinds) in that particular port during testing. Or, perhaps think more and say "hmm I wonder if that button is in a bad place"
If I'm a tester, plugging cables in and out all day, I'll rip that boot off first thing.
The boot in the example is extremely common though, there’s no excuse for someone working at Cisco of all places to not test multiple cables in the test unit.
This went straight from designer to production because someone thought it would be cheaper to skip testing
Poor product testing doesn't mean engineer hadn't make a stupid and serious mistake.
But it does make the company stupid for letting it get to production
It already has been said higher in the thread
