I felt the urge to play Deadfire today so I got my gaming PC out of the closet. Shortly thereafter it went down a flight of stairs (don’t ask) and lost both wifi antennas.
Downloading 20GB at about 5mbit was painfully retro, but I got the idea to Ethernet it to my MacBook and in a few clicks was borrowing its quite decent wifi connection. But my MacBook doesn’t have an Ethernet port or a normal usb port. So I got a dongle with Ethernet and plugged it into a USB to mini and then a mini to C (didn’t have a USB to USB C cable).
Probably the most “LAN party experience” I’ve had in 15 years.

- Waterluvian 3y agoI was thinking that but I didn’t want to have to get the ladders out.
- boomboomsubban 3y agoThat does sound like a scenario where digging through converters is easier.
- lozenge 3y agoThat's much less satisfying though. The excitement when you revive an old device by using a USB stick to pass a file to Bluetooth and then send the file via infrared can't be beat.
