  • Most RJ-45 connectors (without a boot on them)… The connector only fits one way, the orientation is clear on both ends while holding, looking or even by feel if you have to do it blind and it locks into place easily. Only issue is how fragile the clocking part is, which boots are supposed to help protect but make more difficult to use.

    I like reversible connectors like lighting and USB-C but I find them too small and fragile in general and they are not very satisfying to connect.

    I have a special hate for connectors that are HARD to blind connect or even tell at a distance like USB-A, HDMI and Displayport which are ether rectangles or slightly not rectangles that are close enough that is hard to tell in the dark behind a device.

    I have a strong dislike for connectors with thumb screws, but like locking connectors like Centronics or as noted RJ11 or RJ45.




  • If it isn’t open / free / private there is a % of the community that will not even try it.

    Just like on Reddit lots of negative energy in some subs.

    Hardly saying bing is amazing only that lately I have been drawn to trying it more since the chat based search that allows follow ups in natural language.

    Google bards equivalent is only available in the US and just this last week the UK so I can’t try it out.

    However over all I agree that more and more google search results have more adds and the good results pushed further and further down.
