Honestly, they go to bed at the time the parent sets a routine after probably 3 or 4yo. My kids consistently go to bed at 9pm for school, 10pm on weekends/summer, and typically no …

I would think the real test is to do some pulling on the cable to make sure it's reasonably sound structurally, and also maintaining 10 GBit at the spec maximum for cat-6... but re…

The credit is currently wrong, it should belong to one of the developers on my team, David Jaenson. My comment was an early disclosure before I fully understood how sensitive the d…
