Please Bluetooth devices, give me some options on how to interact with devices I've previously paired with other than "upon spotting, immediately begin playing music"

If this is happening on iOS, then your peripheral is sending a Play command upon connection. (I don't know about Android but I assume the same.) This is often desirable, but I could see why it would piss you off.

Cooling will be a real bitch.

Shielding also.

And latency.

And don’t get me started on the remote hands fees. You thought DigitalRealty was bad!

Practical question for HN: How do you all label your PoE cables so that you don't accidentally plug the powered cable into a socket that wasn't expecting 48 volts on those pins and fry something? (I know the power injector is supposed to only deliver power when it's safe, but if all your devices work exactly as they should all the time, then I'd like to buy that bridge in Manhattan you're selling).

Do you buy Ethernet cables of different colors and say "Yellow is reserved for PoE, all yellow cables should be assumed to have power on them"? Or do you slap a "48V" label on both ends of the cables you're going to use for PoE and the label is what warns you that this cable should only go into the PoE receiver, and not into an unpowered device? Or do you just not label your PoE cables any differently, and trust that the injector will never malfunction at the same time that you plug the PoE cable into the wrong device?

All 21,000 ports I administer have 802.3 standard PoE enabled at all times. Incidents of inadvertent powering are at zero. I think this is just a non problem.

Here's a dumb question, tangentially related, since they have a 10gig L2 switch mentioned... How come nobody (almost) makes L2 10gig switches? Ubiquiti has a 8port L2, that really seems to be it.

Do you mean like most vendors have moved onto faster port speeds? Mostly you can still use the slower 10G optics and the ports will clock down even if the nominal port speed is higher.

how does he turn it on without a power button?

M-series Macs just turn on when you open them.
