2006, 2007 was my 1st birthday. But that's just a detail.
Also, something more to think about:
Oldest gen-alphas are currently 13.
First generation beta child will be born on 2025 (if Earth and humans survive).
It's an old joke, when a switch (or any electronics really) has 365+ day uptime rebooting could kill the power supply during its POST power supply test.
Realistically you shouldn't have to worry about it, those are solid switches. I have a 3524 from 2001 that's still running, it gets bounced about once a year when I bump the power cable while recabling. I also have a 2960G that's on a UPS, and without logging in I couldn't tell you the uptime
Hmm. I planned to upgrade it to newest available IOS for this device, 15.0.2-SE11.
What kind of bricking are we talking about here? (Permanent or fixable)
I only found this:
A Catalyst 2960 with 64Mb of DRAM might display Low memory on the console
after upgrading to 12.2(58)SE or later
Which should be fixed, and if not, I could just downgrade it back. Worst case scenario: I'll have to use xmodem instead of TFTP.
I can't remember the exact message, basically when we upgraded about 10 of ours, they wouldn't let us make any config changes past a certain point because they saw themselves as non genuine even though they are
we've recently replaced all of our switching, I'll boot one of them up once I get in and check for you (+IOS version)
Do you remember if you could get to a rommon prompt? As long as console access is available you should've been able to upload replacement FW. I once had to use kermit or xmodem (I don't recall) @2400 bps to recover an AP by transferring new FW over the console cable (I'm not sure new APs even have a console port), but switches should be recoverable...the things you do, when you want to go home and not spend another day on site 🤣
My only caution would be to ensure that you use the correct FW. IIRC -L means Lan Base not IP Services, but it should warn you that there isn't enough space, if that's the case

These generational labels make increasingly little sense.
boomer = older than me
zoomer = younger than me
as simple as that

Gen-alphas? Wtf is that

It's when you're out of latin letters because gen-Z
LemmysMum@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y
Well boomers kids were gen X, because x was edgy back then. And that fucked up the whole system.
sukhmel@programming.dev · 2 pts · 2y
You're absolutely right, I remembered that it started before Z, but couldn't remember how far back it went
Edit: but I can totally see a conspiracy theory about humanity being less than 30 generations old arise from this naming

user224@lemmy.sdf.org · 2 pts · 2y
Nope. That will be 18. By 1st birthday I meant when I was 1.

lol, there's a pretty big chance OP is probably a Sophomore in high school too
edit: probably a junior or senior actually but still pretty close

Equivalent to senior (different school system).
In Slovakia, depending on chosen field of study, it ranges from 2 to 5 years. It's 4 years for me.

I was wondering if you were like born again christian or something and that you considered another importabt date as being your second birth day.

I understood it wrong, too 😅
wallybeavis@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 2y
2007, excellent year! Also, I swear Cisco those older switches are will run forever (as long as you don't reboot it too often 😂)
user224@lemmy.sdf.org · 6 pts · 2y
Could you enlighten me on that? This sounds scary.

don't update the firmware!!!!! these have a bug with their security module which essentially bricks them if you update past a certain point
user224@lemmy.sdf.org · 2 pts · 2y
Hmm. I planned to upgrade it to newest available IOS for this device, 15.0.2-SE11.
