Shewie, given all the replies to this, and my personal living memory/experiences with these kinds of things as they relate to said replies, sounds like buying intel stock is probably a pretty good idea.

Somewhat different experience: I was a hiring manager at a large tech company where we needed mostly hardware engineers. Company was very big on credentials, so we always recruited from top unis. We had just a handful of "partial-degreed" engineers who had often worked their way up from electronic technician positions while attending college part time. Turns out we needed both types. The top credentialed engineers did lovely designs but never got any of their hardware to actually work. The "mechanics" always had to come in to fix things.

Added: It really was quite like this Dilbert comic https://dilbert.com/strip/2019-01-21

Neat project, what was your motivation for writing it?

Look into modifying the TTL of your TCP requests.

IIRC that's how at least one wireless ISP measures hotspot data different than from-phone data.

ESPN's "30 on 30" sports docs looked into this matter and did a really goof job and worth watching. The episode is called "2 Broke". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Elfw0ESih-A
