Hi guys, this is Austin. Is Ethernet obsolete? With Mac OS 10.15 ditching support for Ethernet, what advantages does Ethernet over WiFi?

Supporters of Ethernet will say that using a cable makes a more stable and faster connection. To test this, I linked two computers over Ethernet and transfered several files. With 802.11 AC connected in ad-hoc, I was able to obtain faster transfer speeds over wireless than with an ethernet cable. There were more dropouts, and plugging a cable into the back the system is just annoying.

yeah sure, on 100-base-t ethernet link.

You can get away with ditching ethernet on a portable toy like a Macbook, but ditching it on a stationary computer like an iMac or Mac Pro just further proves that these are nothing but expensive Facebook machines, and not systems capable of getting any real work done.

Brb, replacing my company's 5x100GE bundle core links with WiFi

>Mac OS 10.15 ditching support for Ethernet

lol, welcome to toyOS

No. Need more information: are they merely removing the port (USB3 GbE adapters are ok), or *completely ripping out the whole IEEE 802.3 and Intel/Xerox EthernetII stack*?
point to point microwave is nice (but i jest.)

Consensus: No. 802.3 and Eth2 aren't going anywhere any time soon. Apple is total cancer

Hi guys, this is Austin. Is killing myself worth it?

>there were more dropouts

Is this real? Source?

HEY GUISE THIS IS AUTISM

Yes

No, it isn't. They are just circlejerking against macOS

...

Austin got rid of his acne and shitty haircut and is now an alpha male. How do you guys feel about this?

IT SURE IS

Slow down, he just looks like a fucking nerd.

he looks like he's ready for a gf

lets find out

You know you should've died in that fire.

>Apple removes support for turning off the computer

>Well actually leaving the computer on at all times is more energy efficient since it eliminates the massive power surge you get when booting up a computer.

WWYD, Sup Forums?

APOLOGISE

Whoever said that should be sent to the gulags immediately!

Sup Forums absolutely blown the fuck out

Dude values /fit/ness.

Slightly redeems all the consumerism.

That actually would save on component life because you don't have the massive power spike that happens when turning it on. The system would basically settle into a permanent steady state.

Hi guys this is Austin. Is charging bad for your phone? With the announcement of the iPhone Xs and the removal of the charging port requiring the user to take the phone to an authorized charging station like an apple store or where you bought the phone itself, or replace the phone outright.

We've teamed up with Linus from Linus techtips to investigate.

Alright, what we found out that charging a device does often cause damage to a phone or tablet, either being fed too much voltage, or amperage and the issue likely won't become apparent for some time. Ask my Chinese wife who grew up building this type of electronic by hand.

By regulating how the device is charged, Apple can increase the longevity of the device resulting in fewer RMAs and keeping returns to a minimum.

Ive got wireless N, "advanced N" if thats relevant whatever the fuck it means.
When Im transfering shit over wifi its absulute hell. I wind up stopping the transfer at 60% progress, plug in an ethernet cable, restart the transfer, and still finish faster than it would have been if I let the wifi continue.

I never paid much attention to his videos until I watched his vid on the mac mini.

God damn.

Anyways, I'll be posting a long essay in his comment section about why I unsubbed soon.

>With Mac OS 10.15 ditching support for Ethernet,
Who told you this, then?

Lisa is Thicc! Thicc!

WiFi will never be faster than Ethernet because of physics. You can't have a lossless wireless transmission without dumping enough power into the transmitter that it starts microwaving things

I didn't know Sup Forums did cringe threads.

>what advantages does Ethernet over WiFi?
Not being literally the worst thing to ever happen to connectivity? Seriously, the amount of strife I have had with WiFi strength and bandwidth over the years... I wouldn't be surprised if you could put two machines right next to a WiFi hub with nothing else connected and get better speeds than Ethernet, but we live in the real world where people have large houses and dozens of devices and in that world WiFi is awful.

how did Austin get so popular? I stumbled onto one of his videos through a Linus video and that faggot has 2 million subs.

he doesn't seem very special to me.

This.
Thicc and good content

I subbed to him a while ago.
I watch a video once every few months and forget about him. but I never found him engaging so I forget he's playing in the background that's why I'm subbed to him.

I'd imagine others are the same.

Wi-Fi is great until you run into things like your wall or the floor. Fine if you have a tiny manlet apartment but for those with a real house it's much less of a pain in the long run to just wire the thing for Ethernet.

>With Mac OS 10.15 ditching support for Ethernet
This better not be fucking real

Well the latest version, High Sierra, is only 10.13

Duncan33033

They're removing ethernet from their DESKTOPS?

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhaha *breathes in* AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHahahahahahahahahahaha

You fool, without doing it, they can't make the iMac 1 micrometer thinner and IP45 rated.

In case you're serious: No. The OP was joking.

The upcoming iMac Pro actually has 10Gb Ethernet support.

What Ethernet? It's WiFi Cable you moron

>AUTISM EVANS

its the first result on youtube

I already leave my system on all the time anyway.

>apple adds 10Gb ethernet to imac
>Sup Forums complains about them getting rid of ethernet

>>Being this gullible

no amount of time on the gym will change the fact that the dude looks like a bad microwaved Malcolm from Malcolm in the middle and should be shot to spare his gruesome stupid pointless life.
Cherry on top is that he loves to suck apples dick.

Pewdiepie is better than this ugly faggot.

Be honest, this would be incredibly unsurprising and totally consistent with Apple's past behavior.

>>>Being this gullible
You must be new here...
Anything anti-Apple is accepted with the uncritical naivety for which Sup Forums is universaly derided.
Fact-checking is totally unknown on Sup Forums, a necessary part of the FOSS upbringing.

is jayztwocents okay

the speed of charge through a copper wire is like 1/3rd the speed of light

the speed of wifi is literally the speed of light

most of your latency is introduced elsewhere, but transmission time for radio signals is much faster than transmission time for wired connections

considering there are only 8 cables in an ethernet connection, I would think a decent multiband radio setup could be MUCH faster.

Wi-Fi is like using half duplex ethernet hub, save your packets from collisions whenever you can

Not really, you can transmit at multiple frequencies simultaneously along the same wire, so you get the same multiband-ability with wired connections. (Consider an analog audio signal, which can have a whole spectrum of frequencies sumultaneously.) The difference is that you can use much higher frequencies on wire (no need to worry about penetrating power,) and because the receiver is not confused by reflections (at all) or interference (as much,) you have less error-correcting overhead. Also, wired networks can be fully switched, while wireless networks have to be shared-medium-- only one device can transmit on a given band at any one time, which is why wifi might be perfectly adequate for your home but wouldn't work at all in a data center. If you've ever lived in a crowded apartment building, you've no doubt noticed worse wifi performance due to interference from neighbors' networks.

TL;DR: lrn2nyquist.

>I'm autist
Hi autism

sub 20 iq prideful petulant shitter
so yes, he's great

Looks more like alpha autismo

Wifi is way more insecure
Ethernet is safer

>the speed of wifi is literally the speed of light

Someone didn't take electromagnetism 101 classes here

Now repeat except 100 feet away

but he's right though
wifi transmits over radio frequencies, which is em spectrum, and travels at the speed of light

i don't think the speed of signal propagation matters -- what's the max range of wifi, 50ft? i imagine the nanosecond it takes the signal to travel that distance, over either medium, is negligible compared to the other factors involved.

50 nanoseconds*
But you're right of course, the speed of propagation of the medium is certainly negligible compared to all other considerations, even over relatively long-haul connections.

It was scary how easy it was to read that in his voice.

>Fact-checking is totally unknown on Sup Forums, a necessary part of the FOSS upbringing.
I absolutely love how, as long as I'm patient and careful with my posts over a short period of time, I can convince them that literally *anything* is a fucking "botnet" just ready to give all their "data" to the government, Google, Microsoft, their priest, and their mother. Half of them actually believe it, and the other half won't dare disagree or question it so as to not go against the "meme" and look like a "newfag" to the others. You can play this game for years and never get bored of it. Variants include convincing them that something is "Reddit" (way easier than you might think) or doing the exact opposite of the above and tricking them into thinking that an actual "botnet" is fine and safe (much harder, but not impossible).

Another fun one is spreading out posts and making them just deliberate enough that they might actually be a paid team of shills/marketers promoting a product. They're not, of course, it's just me, but once they're convinced of a shill invasion from [insert whatever brand/product/service I felt like this month here] they go completely crazy and start flooding the board with "anti-shill" threads. They suddenly all develop an unfaltering hate whatever product I was "shilling" and/or they take a sudden interest in whatever they think the competing/opposite product might be. If I were an actual marketer, I could probably make some real money doing this elsewhere.

Hey guys. This is Austin. Is it worth buying a Blu-ray player in 2017, even if it is 4K. With the majority of streaming apps like netflix and hulu offering streams at 4K for the same price they've always had, maybe the $200 upgrade to play more expensive discs isn't worth it.

Judging Netflix 4K and this 4K blu-ray of The Fifth Element, there is literally no difference. Sometimes the stream gets blocky, but that's about it.

Is he really _that_ bad?

Hi guys, this is Austin. Can your girlfriend handle my 8-incher?

Nigger are you braindead or something?

God damn it I could hear his voice when reading that.

you all laugh but I'm pulling 3.5gb/s to my router 2 feet away from me thanks to 60ghz wifi, since my dam router/pc only has 1gb ports.

I wish I could use ethernet, but fucking 10gb rj45 network adapters are $100 minimum, and switches that support 10gb cat45 are fucking $500. I believe there is only a single router on the market with a 10gb ethernet port.

It was cheaper for me to get 802.11ad and a fucking AD router than a 10gb switch, even though cat6 has existed for nearly a decade.


""""""Enthusiast"""""" (enterprise) Ethernet costs are fucking disgusting, there is no reason I should resort to using shitty 60ghz wifi to achieve speeds greater than 1gb/s on my local network when cat6 cabling is so cheap.

>inb4 SFP

SFP cabling is expensive as fuck and only works short distances.

I remember when this guy wasn't a complete sellout meme back in 2012. Made decent videos back then.

Somehow I don't believe you.

>Cherry on top is that he loves to suck apples dick.
You're thinking of this guy right here.
Literally edited and exported 4K video on a standard 12" MacBook just to prove a point against Linus.

>With Mac OS 10.15 ditching support for Ethernet
[citation needed]

More or less everything wireless ever is cancer. The only exception I can come up with right now is GSM and CDMA.

>If I were an actual marketer, I could probably make some real money doing this elsewhere.
But here you are, posting from your basement, unemployed.

>what advantages does Ethernet have

-low ping
-possible maximum transfer speed 10-30 meters away
-gigabit or 10 gigabit speed at your disposal
