| What's UBNT? |

| Obviously it's the singular form of Ubuntu. Like, one "ubunt", two "ubuntu", etc. |

| Stock symbol for Ubquiti, the company being discussed. |

| ▲ | kllrnohj 2 days ago | parent | next [-] | | The stock symbol for Ubiquiti is actually UI, not UBNT. UBNT was the symbol for the old name that hasn't been used since 2019. I have no idea why changing the name also changed the stock symbol, but shrug | | |
| ▲ | ssl-3 2 days ago | parent | next [-] | | Thanks, I think. I usually write UBNT because it's distinct and spelling out "Ubiquiti" hurts my soul in ways that I find difficult to properly articulate. But UI just seems so ambiguous. :) | |

| ▲ | stavros 2 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | Thanks. I wish people could just say the company name instead of using random aliases, but I guess it's some sort of cultural thing. | | |
| ▲ | neogodless 20 hours ago | parent [-] | | I think using "poorly known" initialisms is almost always a "I'm in the in group" signaling. Or just making assumptions about what "everyone" knows. Either way it tends to be a net negative for a large percentage of the audience. Whether the individuals writing care about the ignorant among the audience determines if they put any effort into being educational or just signaling. |
