Lordy, I ain't never heard about one of them before. You're a genius!
Now look around your office and see how many people are using them. There's not a single person in my sales office, whether sales or engineering that bothers with a dongle because we actually have a well designed, fast wifi network. It's called "reliability" and you and your company should look that up.
From the responses here it sounds like many companies need to do the same.
Assumptions, assumptions... My company is a communications company and actually produces networking equipment. Almost no one uses Ethernet because we have the knowledge and experience to implement reliable wifi. Perhaps your company should hire us since they've done such a bad job with their own implementation.
Sorry to hear your company doesn’t care about productivity.
My company produces networking equipment and actually knows how to implement reliable wireless and wired networks. If your company's wifi network is unstable perhaps hiring a competent network design and implementation company would have been more cost effective than throwing more equipment at the problem.
Don’t most of (maybe all) dell and lenovo laptops come with ethernet ports by default ?
Nope. Ethernet ports are gone.
And in the offices I worked in nobody had a docking station. They aren't everywhere.
Lol! One Ethernet cable in a conference room? What if someone else is using it? Next you'll proudly state that you carry an Ethernet switch everywhere you go. But, you be you.
Not my last job with a Fortune 100 company. Nearly all of us used wifi all the time. Our engineering and software development groups did use desktop computers with Gig E though.
My last job was with a Fortune 100 technical company in a sales position. No one used a docking station and no one bothered with an Ethernet cable. Neither did any of the customers we dealt with. People with desktop computers were wired up but most everyone else used wifi all the time.
Moan and groan all you like, it doesn't change the fact that wireless is almost always an option and wired is almost never an option.
Even desktop PCs come with wifi adapters. Finding a laptop with an Ethernet port is damn near impossible.
Long time since you bought a laptop, or even looked at them? Even most Dell and Thinkpad mobile workstations no longer include an Ethernet port.
IMO increasing hate crimes is a feature not a bug. Plenty of MAGA would be thrilled if LGBTQ was a sign on one of Trump's concentration camps.
Hey, somebody's gotta pay for the highest corporate profits in 70 years.
