I mean, if you think about it, needing dongles for connecting Ethernet to USB-C is exactly what would happen, if you had two different Ethernet plugs. So, at this rate, might as well start having USB-C ports on routers, so you can run a USB-C cable all the way... permalink fedilink source parent [β] dunz@feddit.nu 13 points 2 years ago (1 child) There is.
