   @scathach@stereophonic.space you know full well that usb-c absolutely mogs rj-45 in every regard
   
   Ugly little fragile corrodible pins. 100w PoE max. Interference. Large.
   
   They're definitely not going anywhere even after we're both dead tho

     @Rocc The plug you a thinking of is 8P8C - RJ-45S is a proprietary slotted variant of the 8P8C plug that is not used anymore.
     
     8P8C plugs are arguably longer lasting than usb-c plugs and I reckon that due to the size, it'll actually be possible to deal with or prevent pin corrosion unlike on usb-c plugs.

     Time to swap to a freedom-respecting 802.11n Atheros card? (yes, some models support 802.11n 5GHz).
