🌈 Happy Pride Day, Dayton!🌈

If you're heading out to the Dayton Pride celebration today, we hope you have a fantastic time!

Technology works best when every connection is welcome & every signal is heard. We think people work pretty well that way, too.

🖥️ Layer 2 Question of the Week 🖥️

How many browser tabs do you have open right now?

We asked the Layer 2 team:

🖱️ Brad: 2
🖱️ Devyn: 2
🖱️ Collin: 5
🖱️ Dee: 12
🖱️ David: 55

David claims all 55 are important and that he knows exactly where everything is. Given that he somehow keeps track of multiple businesses, family time, and dad jokes all at the same time, we're inclined to believe him!

Now it's your turn: How many browser tabs do you have open right now?

Sometimes the most important IT projects are the ones nobody notices when they’re done right.

This project included new Ethernet connections, network organization, and cleaning up IP address ranges behind the scenes to help keep everything running smoothly for the client.

It may not look flashy, but clean network setups make a huge difference long term.

What’s the weirdest place you’ve ever seen a network cable run? 👀

🌸 Happy Mother’s Day! 🌸

At Layer 2, we’ve got a few MVP “motherboards” we couldn’t do this without and we're sure you do too!

Sending love to everyone celebrating, remembering, or showing up in that role in their own way. 💜

New computer setups always sound simple… until you get into the details.

From finishing a cable run to setting up a brand new workstation and working through a stubborn software install (with a little help from the support team), this one came together nicely.

That’s how we like it… when the user sits down, everything just works 👍

That recruiter message might look completely normal… and that’s exactly the problem.

We’re seeing more LinkedIn messages that feel legit but are actually trying to get you to click, download, or share something you shouldn’t.

A few small habits can make a big difference here.
