Netgear 5 port unmanaged switch

twitter announced today that it will be removing its implementation of stories dubbed “fleets.” the feature was either loved or hated by twitter users since its initial release last year.

this short-lived feature, which was released in november of last year, will be removed on august 3. twitter acknowledged the controversial nature of the snapchat/instagram clone with the farewell tweet. notably, there was no fleet from the main twitter account announcing the departure of the feature, only a standard tweet.

in the goodbye, the company said it is working on “new stuff.” one can hope that they add the ability to edit tweets, in addition to the new edit audience and monetization features.

in a more detailed blog post, twitter shared that it hoped fleets would make people more comfortable posting onto twitter. as fleets disappear, some of the fleet creation features, like gifs and stickers, will be implemented into the standard tweets composer.

Tech Specs

Pros: It’s 6watts, not 14.4. It supports 802.3i 3u and 3ab. It also supports QoS (802.1p and DSCP). Jumbo frames up to 9216 bytes. Also supports energy efficiency (802.3az) It has one capacitor. Many say none, but it still has one. All ports have the same data rate spec, but port 5 also has auto uplink capability to a router. Power transformer is nice and fits sideways into a power bar taking up only one slot.

Cons: My long cable from 2nd floor to computer on first floor dropped to 10baseT, so that cable is hooked directly into router to maintain 100baseT. Switch has some kind of cable length detector, but not working as well as it should.

Overall Review: The switch is a Netgear GS105NA v5. Non blocking gigabit speed with auto sensing and auto negotiation. Ports not in use are auto powered off to save energy. Long life many times as to do with life of capacitors as they dry up. This has one and not near heat sync. Most switches have at least 3.
