The robot has a large, rounded head with a single eye and a helmet-like structure, and its body is covered in a white, padded suit with orange patches. Its mechanical arms are visible, with one hand holding its head and the other holding a small device, possibly a smartphone. The background is filled with various control panels, screens, and buttons, suggesting a high-tech environment. The color palette is dominated by blues and grays, with the robot's orange accents providing contrast. The robot's posture and the way it holds its head suggest a moment of contemplation or concern.

nuintari's rules of networking 0x11:
Trunking _all_ VLANs defeats the purpose of VLANs. Prune properly. The VMware stack doesn't need to see the VLANs for a bunch of /31s between core networking devices.
