You'd think there would be a thinner Ethernet port by now. That standard is several decades old.

    I agree with the notion, but at the same time, I think no one wants to deal with the mess of having two different kinds of Ethernet plugs. 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...

    There is. Most laptops have RJ45 ports that fold out now a days.

    Why can't we just do Ethernet over USB C.. πŸ€”

    There are docking stations that gives secondary display, power, and wired nerwork connection over single USB-C port. Usually along with keyboard, mouse, and USB-A ports.
