Dell XPS 15 9530, Windows 11 Pro 10.0.22631, x64, 13th Intel Core i9… I could go on. Hopefully that’s enough info.

This is a sub for asking tech questions right? Apologize if not.

    Jr Modem Engineer: Hey Steve, what should we do if their Internet is out and they want an https cert that we are unable to find?

    Sr Modem Engineer: Well, Frank, glad you asked! We’ll just quietly substitute it with this random janky self-signed certificate for the modem itself instead, I’m sure that’ll solve everything!

    Jr: But won’t that just obscure the real problem and overwhelm the user with a bunch of unnecessary and incorrect error messages?

    Sr: Sometimes my genius is almost frightening.

      Literally my thought process. Though the alternative I guess is you just don’t get a cert? Maybe the web page is automatically rejected? Both those suck too lol
