Well, That's A Switch!
Had to make another trip out late this afternoon. When I came up to the livingroom to watch some television, I kept getting "Ethernet cable not connected" on all the internet connected devices. Traced the issue to a failure of the ethernet switch in the living room. The old switch was over a decade old, so guess it was about time for it to fail.
So, I got in the car and drove to Office Depot and picked up a new one. I was surprised at how busy the store was for a change, but I then noticed everyone seemed to be buying school supplies. Guess it's that time of year.
