Context: this is a legit screenshot I took on my workplace around 1.5 years ago. Hopefully it’s been patched by now? Completely ridiculous behavior

    It’s a shared workplace, so I can’t just leave the ethernet unplugged.

    And yes, it has DisplayPort and potentially HDMI, too. I do have an idea why it might work that way, but from a user perspective, it’s still useless and annoying…

        Maybe they meant that doesn’t work for their use cases? Might still work for the next guy

          Yeah, I don’t want to go too much into detail, but there’s basically two different paths you can take. Either you get a preconfigured setup, but then have to rely on the attrocious support from our IT supplier, or you choose a DIY setup.

          I could DIY it, so the ethernet works as intended, but it’s just not worth the effort…
