You are right - but only in that you are wrong!
It's not "METHINKS", just to clear that up for the easily confused.

My favourite thing about the daily CCCs is that they give me an insight into what it must feel like to be stupid.

You don't need CCC for that - just go to QA ...

 I don't know where you get your patience from answering some of the questions on there

It's not easy sometimes. Particularly when they start getting rude because you haven't posted the code they need to hand in as their homework ...
But I just chant the Internet Mantra* to myself and walk away.

There is only one creature in the world that would build such a thing- It must have been built by a brilliant cat to keep us occupied while it gets its bare minimum of 15 hours sleep every day.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Hi all,
Still finding what will be my next laptop...
And I've seen some have removed the Ethernet port.
Given I use it often, I was thinking on using this Lenovo USB-C to Ethernet Adapter | Adapters | Lenovo US[^] in case I end with a laptop without the Ethernet port.
In the office I will have a dock station. When I'm on the go, if I have to connect to one robot, PLC,... I will mostly use it.
Have you used any? In case you've done, which has been your experience with that?
Thank you all!

Some laptops (purchased new) include their own USB to Ethernet dongle. Though not sure if that's still the common practice.
Haven't used the device you mention, but I've used others (typically the ones that come with the laptop) and it's transparent and fast.
For example, I use the Ethernet port on the Plugable USB Docking Station both at home and at in the office (which means at home now.) Never had any issues.
|

And maybe a strange question... is that USB C adapter strongly plugged to the pc?
I mean in the field I would not like to have it unplugged because it is not strong enough to hold the ethernet cable weight.
Sorry for the strange question.
Thank you!

No, it's a standard USB cable, so easily unplugged. Fortunately the cable is short so I don't trip over it (I have other things I occasionally trip over, as I deal with a lot of hardware, and even sitting on my desk, some cables are rather long. Hmmm, I should tie them up.)
As to the Ethernet port itself, it's the typical "snap in place" thing.
Geez, how heavy is your ethernet cable?
|
|
|
|
|
Not heavy... it's that when I'm doing a set up of one machine (robot, CNC or PLC) I never know where I will seat (if I seat at all) and usually the cable is a long one that I roll over the table leg before plugging into the laptop itself...
^^¡
Thank you very much for your comments!
