I (and many other engineers I know) do this too, and for a good reason. It's a simple system. Same reason I don't use WiFi at home but ethernet: it's simple.

- xcambar 6y ago> It's a simple system Even though I get your point and I am convinced you're using "simple" aptly, I will nitpick the obvious: passive headphones can be deceptively simple or a marvel of engineering. If you didn't get the chance to listen to some music through proper audiophile headphones, I do recommend to spend some time at the closest audio retailer and live the experience.
- secondcoming 6y agoYou have LAN ports in your bathroom?
- sslayer 6y agoOf course, what are we, un-mannered savages?
- myself248 6y agoOne port, singular -- there's not enough knee real estate for multiple devices. Open the laundry chute, it's in there along with a Thinkpad brick, both wired up from the basement. Ends have magnets that captivate them to the chute door for safe keeping.
- jackric 6y agoHave you got more interesting house solutions like this?
- z3t4 6y agoIts good to take a pause from the screen now and then, for example when you go to the toilet.
- dkersten 6y agoAlso, how long are people spending on the toilet that they need Internet? And is hygiene not a concern?
- flyingpenguin 6y agoFrom the many people I have asked this question, I think the disconnect between toilet phone users and us is the availability of "Alone time". Specifically no matter what you do in your house/work for some there is always low key chance of someone bothering you. This is not the case when you appear to be using the toilet. Still seems weird to me though.
- oblio 6y agoWell, imagine you have small kids :-) Then it becomes less weird. Especially if you don't have a big house. Also: https://en.rockcontent.com/blog/ipad-usage/ https://en.rockcontent.com/blog/ipad-usage/
- dkersten 6y agoYeah, I get that, but it seems like an unhealthy way to live. I guess that’s just part of having kids, for a lot of people...
- taneq 6y agoAnd where did they find a phone with Ethernet? :P

- flyingpenguin 6y agomost phone support USB-C to ethernet. Always remember their are weirdos out there who are so into mobile games they have docked phones attached to cooling systems.
- chooseaname 6y agoNope. Analog reading devices.
- sequoia 6y agoA joke about "ports" or "drops" in the bathroom is trying to form itself in my mind, but I am actively suppressing it to protect myself and the community.
