This is how I feel about ultra-slim laptops that only have USB-C ports. I don't care if it needs to be 10% thicker, I want a usable port damn it!

You'd think there would be a thinner Ethernet port by now. That standard is several decades old.

There is. Most laptops have RJ45 ports that fold out now a days.

Why can't we just do Ethernet over USB C.. 🤔

[–] Maestro@fedia.io 19 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You can. I have ethernet, 2 monitors, mouse, keyboard, webcam, speaker and power all running over a single USB-C

This .. must be the way

There are docking stations that gives secondary display, power, and wired nerwork connection over single USB-C port. Usually along with keyboard, mouse, and USB-A ports.

Aye I know, I work in IT, I'm just saying maybe routers should have USB C ports and just ditch Ethernet altogether 😊
