For something so basic yes! lol oh well
Well it is only basic to certain job roles. POP3 is antiquated technology that no one should know first hand if they are a new IT pro today. It is something you learn only for the sake of learning or you work for a company so awful that the chances that you are skilled or trained would be incredibly low. POP3 was a dead technology when I was first getting into managing email systems in the very late 1990s. It was still around, but there was no use case for it even then.
Combine that with the almost ubiquitous lack of fundamentals in the community and I find 84% to be a crazy high number (except that 25% get it just by guessing and two of those other ports are so obvious as something else that are still used that it's 50% chance to guess for someone with even the most rudimentary knowledge.)
But there is no reason why someone in the first decade of IT would have ever needed to know the POP3 port. That's like knowing how to install a BNC connector today. Sure, some of us just remember from when that applied. Some learn it just for the sake of knowing how things used to be. But POP3 is no longer a serious IT skill, it's just archaic knowledge.

I submitted three questions, merely as a test of quality control. I find it hard to believe that the IT quiz will let you submit Water Cooler questions.

I'm not surprised at all. What questions did it let you submit? And, really, how do you expect them to do quality control in that way? If they could do the quality control, they could make the quiz themselves.

Is that an AC-Lite?

I prefer full fat AC, don't you be giving me half wave rectified or any of that DC nonsense.

Based on size, that is the AC-Lite.

For what purpose? I have zero use for full AC in the house or at any of my clients.
Obviously, it is sexy speeds, but if I am not going to be saturating it who cares? Why buy more?

I do have 100Mb at home, and when downloading ISOs it's nice to get max effect. The LIte does limit me to 80 something instead of 100+.

This was an electricity joke, please ignore.
Edit: I have 802.11AC at home and it's sweet, highly recommend.

Doh.. LOL I completely missed the AC/DC thing
FYI, UBNT AC-Lite maxes at something like 85 Mb, where the AC protocol is something like 130, or is it 300?

hmmm... I wonder why I can't get better than 85 Mb on my wireless, but I can do 120 on wired, same ISP, Same firewall.

@Dashrender 120MB/s is ~=1Gigabit network speed
85MB/s out of wifi is pretty damned good.
