Tangentially, the fact that we're still using gigabit connections in our homes and especially offices in 2026 is weird. Gigabit Ethernet is over two decades old, but it's still the most common standard. Both 2.5 and 10 Gbps are effectively niche technologies.

I get it; it's "good enough" in most cases, like USB 2.0. But it still sucks we haven't moved past it.
