I guess the new Tucker that disagrees strongly with Trump about the Iran War hasn't gotten around to disliking Trump's personal alliance with Putin. Still it's stunning that Carlson is so ill informed about international economics and where Russia is in the world.

"If you buy a PC nowadays, you will commonly see Ethernet ports labeled 2.5G and/or 10G" Well you're buying top shelf systems if you're getting 2.5G or higher. Pretty sure statistically most new PCs with wired ports are still only 1G. www.tomshardware.com/networking/t...
tomshardware.com
The Ethernet spec was first drafted on this day in 1980 — DEC, Intel, and Xerox defined the standard several years before the internet existed
Ethernet ports are still desirable on desktop PCs, hanging on alongside the likes of the 3.5mm audio jack and IEC mains connector.
