📞💔 To our great regret, following in the footsteps of Russia’s VK Group and its quiet farewell to ICQ, Microsoft has now officially shut down Skype — a true legend of the 2000s internet era. What once defined how we connected, called, and chatted across the globe has been silenced… not by users, but by boardroom decisions.

💻 Skype wasn't just software — it was a cultural milestone. It brought faces to voices, bridged continents in seconds, and made "Skyping" a verb in dozens of languages. Its shutdown is not just sad — it's irreplaceable. Another digital monument lost to corporate fatigue.

📉 This only proves one thing: well-paid marketers and project managers have repeatedly failed to breathe new life into legacy platforms. Instead of adapting tradition to modern times, they let icons wither. And for what? Another feature-bloated app with no soul?

🌐 But we haven’t lost hope. If Winamp can rise from the ashes, why not Skype? Why not AIM? Why not ICQ? Maybe, just maybe, it won’t be Microsoft or VK who lead the resurrection — maybe it’ll be an indie developer or a bold startup that understands nostalgia can be modern.

👀 Paging Yahoo Inc. and AOL… We’re waiting.

Network switches

What’s a network switch ?

A switch is a device used in computer networks to connect multiple devices together within a single local area network (LAN). Its main role is to facilitate communication between different connected devices, such as computers, printers, servers, IP phones, etc.

It is a mini-computer which is made up of RAM, ROM, flash RAM, NVRAM, a microprocessor, connectivity ports and even an operating system.

RAM

RAM (Random Access Memory) contains the current configuration of the switch and temporarily stores the MAC address table, which is then processed by the microprocessor.

Microprocessor

The microprocessor is the heart of the switch, responsible for data processing, including switching and creating links between multiple devices.

External memories

External memories, such as flash RAM, ROM, and NVRAM (Non-Volatile RAM), store configuration files , different versions of the IOS , etc ...

Ports

The switch ports are the communication interfaces of the switch. There are several of them, generally 24 for a Cisco switch. Each port is associated with an LED which indicates its status and activity.

How does it work ?

Now how does a switch work to transfer information from one machine to another?

Suppose we have 4 machines: A, B, C and D connected to our switch in ports 1, 2, 3 and 4 as follows:

The switch only works with MAC addresses , so basically we have an empty MAC address table stored in RAM as soon as the switch starts up which looks like this : 

Transmitting data from machine A to machine B happens in the following steps:

Machine A sends a frame to machine B

Once this frame arrives at port 1 (which is the one linked to A), the switch reads the source MAC address and stores it in the MAC address table

The switch reads the destination MAC address and looks for it in the table, if it is not in the table, it broadcasts to all the active machines connected to the switch except the source one.

If the port linked to the machine we want is active, it sends a response frame from which the switch reads the MAC address we were looking for (@B)

Once done, it records the MAC address of B in the table.

This process repeats until the switch reaches what is called "MAC address table stability", that is to say it knows all the MAC addresses of the connected machines and has no more need to broadcast.

Starting and configuring a switch

When it comes to booting a switch, the process is similar to that of a traditional computer system:

POST (Power-On Self Test): The switch performs proper functioning tests on all hardware.

Loading IOS (Internetwork Operating System): The switch operating system is loaded.

Loading the configuration. At this stage we have two cases:

Either the switch already has a startup configuration defined and stored in NVRAM

Either the switch is blank and it is up to us to define the startup configuration when it goes to setup mode

Switch configuration

The configuration of a switch is done through different modes, such as user mode, privileged mode and global configuration mode, which allows access to specific configuration modes, such as interface mode, routing mode, line mode, etc.

And to do all this of course you must first connect the switch with the machine via the console cable and open a terminal emulator

💡 It should be noted that the only machine that can configure the switch is the one connected to it by a console cable, the others are only hosts.

Why Do Most DevOps Transformations Fail Without Expert Consulting?

DevOps has become the go-to approach for improving alignment and coordination between development and operations teams, speeding up software delivery, and enhancing product quality. However, many companies struggle to implement DevOps successfully. In fact, several DevOps transformations fail — and one key reason or aspect is the lack of expert DevOps consulting behind those implementations.

Let’s see what happens and how expert consulting can make all the difference.

1. Lack of a Clear Strategy

DevOps isn’t just about using new tools or modern resources. As it’s also about changing how the teams work together with better co-ordination. Without a clear roadmap or strategy, teams often jump into DevOps without aligning their goals, processes, or workflows. DevOps consulting assists with structured plan and road map customized as per your organization’s needs, helping them avoid confusion and wasted efforts.

2. Poor Tool Integration

Many businesses begin or head using multiple DevOps tools without understanding how they fit together. As this leads towards workflow issues, data silos, and tool overload. Expert consultants and professionals know which tools work best for your tech stack and help integrate them smoothly for end-to-end automation.

3. Resistance to Change

DevOps requires a cultural shift, which can face pushback from teams used to traditional methods. Consultants and professional experts play a vital and keen role in guiding this change, training teams, and building a collaborative setting that embraces new ways and types of working.

4. Inadequate Skills and Experience

Hiring and training in-house DevOps experts can be time-consuming and costly. Many transformations fail because teams lack the right expertise. DevOps consulting brings experienced professionals who know what works and what doesn't — ensuring your transformation is done right the first time.

5. Ignoring Continuous Improvement

DevOps is not a one-time setup; it's an ongoing process of refinement. Without expert guidance, businesses may stop improving after initial implementation. Consultants and a group of experts help monitor progress, measure outcomes, and continuously optimize the pipelines and practices.

DevOps transformation is complex and major and attempting towards it alone often can lead to delays, rework, and frustration. Investing in DevOps consulting aids organizations to adopt best practices, avoid common pitfalls, and achieve faster, more sustainable results. Trusted companies like Suma Soft, IBM, and Cyntexa offer professional DevOps consulting services and offer professional expertise that can guide your business toward a successful transformation — efficiently and confidently with its adaptation and assessment into the infrastructure.

💬📖 Released in 1998, "ICQ for Dummies" by Peter Weverka and Michael Taylor was the go-to guide for navigating the world of instant messaging. At a time when the internet was still new to many, ICQ (I Seek You) changed how people connected online—long before WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, or Discord.

💻 The book walks readers through everything they need to know about ICQ, from installation to mastering its features. It starts with a step-by-step guide on how to download, install, and set up an ICQ account. Once online, users learn how to add contacts, send instant messages, share files, and even send SMS messages through the platform.

📟 Beyond basic messaging, the book dives into chat rooms, status updates, and away messages, helping users make the most of ICQ’s social features. It also covers customization options, such as changing sounds, skins, and using plugins to enhance the experience. For those running into trouble, a troubleshooting section offers tips on solving common issues and staying safe online.

🌍 ICQ was one of the first real-time messaging platforms, pioneering features like unique user IDs (UINs), offline messaging, and “Uh-oh!” message notifications. It set the foundation for modern instant messaging and changed how people interacted online.

🖊️ Peter Weverka is an experienced writer specializing in technology and software guides. He has written multiple books in the For Dummies series, covering topics like Microsoft Office, Windows, and the Internet.
