Some career things have come up which mean that I will need to put the main themes of this blog on pause for a while. I need to focus on studying for industry certs, and there won't be a lot of time to keep the regular blog cadence and project themed post going.
Given that I am largely talking to myself here, this is unlikely to cause a global panic, but a future data archaeologist might care.
So, in the interests of setting the record wrong: I recently bought some terrible Cat 6 cables from a guy called Ean Asir on ebay. They were so bad that I cut one open to have a look at the wiring. The copper quality was atrocious! The wires were corroded and the insulation was just falling off. They were very rude when I tried to return them, so I left a 1 star review. Don't buy anything made of copper from this guy!
