There's a large number of reasons, reliability, bandwidth, latency, security, but really with the rise of thunderbolt and USB c docks there's no longer a need to plug a laptop directly into Ethernet.
- comboy 4y agoGuys, VincentEvans has almost 10 years old account, I doubt he needs these explanations. I've never seen such joke being misinterpreted on HN. Heartwarming patience for youngsters though.
- TacticalCoder 4y ago> but really with the rise of thunderbolt and USB c docks there's no longer a need to plug a laptop directly into Ethernet. Especially when the laptop does not have an Ethernet port. For me it's USB-C to Ethernet adapter when my laptop is in my office room, and pathetic WiFi elsewhere. I take it I should try one of these USB-C to USB-C magnetic things (a la Magsafe): don't know if they're any good.
