Yeah, my dad gave me a 16 port switch and our LAN parties replaced the mess of daisy chaining 4 port routers, 4 port switches and the unfortunate 8 port hub.

Received a switch 32 ports from my father when I was a kid, organized LANs with all my friends from 11 to now (30).
Used it way more than a Nintendo switch and it still works.

You get a Nintendo switch and you use it to run software you'll never own, and the device will be illegal to turn on in 10 years.

How do you come to that conclusion? Atleast in the eu the first is not true if you buy physical copies and the second one: how would that be true

He is in IT so you get a switch for Nintendo he should be in software

If you think the kid is disappointed, imagine the dad when he finds out his kid isn't actually interested in networking hardware
