You have LAN ports in your bathroom?

Of course, what are we, un-mannered savages?

One 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.

  Have you got more interesting house solutions like this?

Its good to take a pause from the screen now and then, for example when you go to the toilet.

  Also, how long are people spending on the toilet that they need Internet? And is hygiene not a concern?

    From 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.

      Well, 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/

      Yeah, 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...

  most 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.

A 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.
