+But in 2024, his net worth grew to 211000000000 (211 billion).
+Are you 10x richer than 10 years ago?
+But then, if you bought that BluRay 10 years ago for that 13,7USD, you would now 13700SD.
+Would you even care about that BluRay?
+I'm guessing you have already given it /for free/ to someone.
+
+So, he would not notice if Washington Post died today, he would not notice.
+But what are some other things he owns some stake in, that you can stop using?

+
+*The problem*:
+I have a laptop with built-in WiFi.
+Say what you will about WiFi, it's always better to use the good, old cable connection.
+I have bought myself a cheap, USB Ethernet adapter (Reltek) which is perfectly detected by FreeBSD, as per =ifconfig(8)=:
+
+#+begin_src shell name: "aa"
+ue0: flags=1008843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,LOWER_UP> metric 0 mtu 1500
+	options=68009b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,LINKSTATE,RXCSUM_IPV6,TXCSUM_IPV6>

+	inet 10.0.7.197 netmask 0xfffff800 broadcast 10.0.7.255
+	media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex>)
+	status: active
+	nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
+#+end_src
+
+However, I don't want to remove the WiFi card, but FreeBSD insists on using it for all outgoing connections.
+
+***** Pre-requisites
+
+What we need to know:
+- names of devices (from =ifconfig(8)=). In my case, WiFi is =wlan0= while the Eth dongle is =ue0=
+- default route (from =netstat(1)=):
+
+  #+begin_src shell
+netstat -rn | grep default
+  #+end_src
+
+Write down the IP shown, in my case it's =10.0.1.1=.
+
+***** Netif
+
+Netif is FreeBSD's way to manage network devices. We will can disable WiFi:
+
+#+begin_src shell
+service netif stop wlan0
+#+end_src
+
+And ensure the dongle (ue0) is enabled:
+
+#+begin_src shell
+service netif restart ue0
+#+end_src
+
+At this point your WiFi is no longer enabled, and all traffic should go through Ethernet.
+If everything works fine - you're done.
+
+***** Default route
+
+Disabling a network interface removes its routes.
+If you can't reach any location (try =ping(8)=) it may be that you are lacking default route.
+We can check it via:
+#+begin_src shell
+netstat -rn | grep default
+#+end_src
+
+If nothing is returned, your computer does't know to reach other machines.
+Luckily, we can re-add it. Remember the address from earlier?
+
+#+begin_src shell
+route add default 10.0.1.1
+#+end_src
+
+Now everything should work fine!
+
+***** Alternatives
