Cisco Mode Button Design Fail

if you've ever messed up a dimension or a hole position on something you're building, don't be too hard on yourself. at least you're not the Cisco design engineer who caused an entire product line recall by placing the mode button (which resets the switch if held) directly above an RJ45 port. Boot Protective Boot

A technical meme shows a post about making mistakes while building something, followed by diagrams of a Cisco switch whose reset mode button is placed directly above an RJ45 Ethernet port. Plugging in a cable can press the button and reset the switch, causing a product recall. The joke reassures people about ordinary design mistakes by comparing them with an exceptionally costly engineering blunder.
