The USB to ETH I am using now is normal USB 3.0 to ETH, it annoys me a bit because in Win10 Enterprise I can't have it parallel to WiFi, I need to switch the flight mode on to get a stable communication with the PLC. But I think the problem is from the OEM Enterprise Client, not in Windows 10 itself.
In Win7 there was no problem at all, I could be in the field connected to the PLC and still google for something or get files from server, I now have to switch over for each silly thing...
Beyond that, the gadget works pretty nice. It is from the company Lindy.
A coworker of mine had a Workstation laptop with USB-C and the "docking station" was aprox 12x4x2,5 cm (maybe a bit bigger, but really not that big) and maybe a 10 or 15 cm cable. It looked pretty cool, but I have never had one myself.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Thanks!
I will get a dock station for my office to plug the laptop to power, 2 displays, loudspeakers, mouse, keyboard, ethernet...
But while on the field, I plan to get a rugged access point (to be able to move around with the laptop while doing the set up of the machines I work in, and this item to be able to connect to the ethernet (in case the first option is not working). the one I put the link seems that pass the MAC address... so seems to be a good option... sure it won't be as strongly tied to the computer as an RJ45 connector, but this may even be an advantage.
Thanks Nelek!

My state is requiring to do 3 contacts of employers to keep my COVID unemployment benefits coming. Since I have last professionally programmed in 2002, and using an extraordinarily obsolete stack (i.e., pre-.NET VC++), I doubt seriously that anyone will hire me, LOL.

Well, two things come to mind:
If you haven't professionally programmed in 18 years, why would you want to search a list of employers looking for programmers?
Either look for a job in the field in which you were most recently employed, or, if you weren't employed, what are you doing collecting unemployment benefits?
Sounds like a plan to scam the system when it's really gone out of its way to help people. Have you cleaned out all the local church poor-boxes or, perhaps, slept in. That really sucks - maybe your position on the food chain is a much higher than it ought to be?

Because there's lots of employers looking to hire programmers, and not so many that want to hire teachers, which I have been doing as self-employed off & on since being a programmer. I realize that I am even more unemployable now than I was when I stopped getting work then, but I need to do this (i.e., contact 3 employers a week) to continue getting the unemployment benefit; otherwise, I could not care less.

Your trying to game the ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) ing system - which, if you listen to the political winds, is being used as an excuse to cut back the enhanced COVID benefits for those who really need them.
If you were teach - apply for teaching positions - that is seriously try to get a job. You're seriously trying to NOT get a job.
Getting unemployment when self-employed is a genuine gift - and you're not satisfied with what you've gotten when you'd normally get nothing?
Your the kind of person that will be used as an example to screw everyone else.
Putting a childish "LOL" at the end of your original post doesn't make it alright.

If you haven't worked in 18 years I guess you are unemployable. Maybe just try Walmart.

I believe that for the purposes of unemployment benefits during the Covcession, I should work in my previous career, and at the rate I used to be able to get. Yes, I believe that I am ENTITLED to do so.

That's not obsolete; it's not up to date, but not obsolete. Patterns and programming concepts don't change much; and if you can write pre-.NET VC++, you can probably read modern VB.NET or C#.
Luck favors the bold, and bosses the willing.
--edit
In the Netherlands you can buy such a list at the "kamer van koophandel" (chamber of commerce); it is a report that shows companies in the region that are in a specific sector, meant to for entrepreneurs to help them with assessing how much competition there would be for their start-up. Costs around 35 euro's here. You could try your local version, but it's not guaranteed to contain email-addresses (should contain a postal address). Also very popular under spammers/"marketeers"

Of course such a programmer could do that - now try getting a job when the stack release increments by 1, and your shop is hiring exploited H1B foreigners like crazy. I still remember the day I threw in the towel and "early retired" when I had a great interview for a gig that required ESRI 9.2, but since my experience was only 8.3, the body shop said it wouldn't hire me.

They do grow on trees, no?
A few years ago, I assumed no-one had Cobol running anymore. Boy, was I wrong. Then I did my part in burying VB6. It just refuses to die.

Quote: My state is requiring to do 3 contacts of employers to keep my COVID unemployment benefits coming.
So essentially you are asking a group of people, many of whom will be paying the taxes that fund your unemployment benefit, to help you game the system.
Maybe consider looking into the benefits of leading a more ethical life.

I guess you could say that. Of course, your answer reminds me of the old saying:
Quote: First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.
And for reference, I support Andrew Yang's idea of Guaranteed Income, as it removes the disincentives of redistribution.

You, have, however, still not taken into account the slackers, like yourself.
And as for your throwing in a piece of Martin Niemölle's famous little piece - they have little to do with you. Well, on second thought, in any and every subgroup of people there will be the slackers such as yourself - supplying the example - the excuse - for "Them" to come for the entire group holding you up as an example why.
If anything about that quote relates to you it that you have the heart and soul of an enabler.
EDIT: fixed some typos

It is better to skin animals in the market than depend on other people. (*)
-- Talmud, Tractate Pesahim, page 113A
When you have tried applying for every position for which you may be qualified, including cashier at McDonald's and greeter at Walmart, then come to me for charity. Unemployment payments are designed to tide over those who lost a job and are looking for another, not as a freebie for the lazy good-for-nothings trying to game the system.
(*) skinning animals (for tanning) was considered the worst possible work - hard, smelly, etc.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Consider the implication that he's so ing lazy he didn't seem to put much effort into finding such a list, himself.
I would say "any" effort but he did ask CPer's to do it so that's at least 'one' attempt.

he's been out of the market for so long it's possible his last tech job search was done by printing a stack of resumes out, going to an office park and sequentially knocking on doors. I wanted to make the point that there's this thing called the intarwebz that you can use now, without being quite as insulting as to use LMGTFY links.
