    Image Transcription:

    An image titled “who would win?”

    On the left side is an image of an Asus RT-AC5300 Tri-Band Wireless Gigabit Router, a square, black router with a red line around the side near the upper edge, and 8 antennas coming up from the bottom. The text beneath the image reads “A $350 router with scary spikes”

    On the right side is a blue Cat6 ethernet cable. The text beneath this image reads “A $3 snakey boi”

      Them: “I can’t connect to Flipboard.”
      Me: ‘Ohhh, the internet is down. It’s probably at the cable modem. Wait a moment for it to failover to wireless, then try again.’
      Them: “Yep, now the WiFi is back.”
