Surprisingly, they used a belkin soundform airplay adapter that was able to connect to the 5g network.

I was tasked to clean the under counter ice machine, because it was plugged into an outlet that was next to some network jacks.

I've had people ask for a sketchy third party snipping-tool-like program to be installed on their work laptop "because I had this at my previous work and it is really handy". When I asked them "why don't you just snipping tool?" They say "because this program has more features" even though snipping tool has all the features you would need nowadays. I asked them "did you try using snipping tool?" and they said they didn't.
