+++ title = "Wireless free since 2023" author = ["MichaƂ Sapka"] date = 2024-02-12T11:17:00+01:00 categories = ["blog"] draft = false weight = 2001 abstract = "I have upgraded my setup to fully wired" +++ I just noticed that my entire primary computer status is wired now: - network is running through a copper cable, - audio is going through a cable to headphones, - my keyboard and trackball are integrated and wired. I have to say, that upgrading from (legacy) wireless options was easy and good in the long run. No longer have I think about batteries or spotty connections. The setup works without any problems now. Not only is the connection perfect, but also higher quality perfumeries were never downgraded to wireless connection, so when looking for premium headphones there simply is no BT based option[^fn:1] Yes, cables **may** break - especially those for headphones, but since they are easily replaceable it's no problem. Luckily, no one would buy headphones without detachable cable, right? I can wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone. The biggest surprise is that cables often come with _lower_ price compared to Bluetooth. After a few months, I see no reason to downgrade it. And pro hint: with an _USB switch_ I can move between personal and work computer _with a single keypress_. [^fn:1]: Well, there are but let's be real. They will open their wings only with connected cable. Even if there is a BT connection, it's better just use wire.
