saw some #networking curriculum just now that still includes the #OSI model and manual binary/hex conversion.
maybe it's because i haven't been a pure network tech/engineer for over a decade but i can count on one hand the number of times i needed to convert binary or hex and i had a computer with me for that. i never once needed to reference the OSI model for anything.
why are these relics still drilled so hard?
