   the computers literally have ethernet and wifi, why are you using USB for data transfer

     @izaya Apparently the idea was *exclusively* about the USB2 vs USB3? I did miss that part, yes.

     I have less to say on that topic, but I dislike that USB3 controllers require some BIOS integration (security risk ahoy) that USB2 & USB1 don't.

     Machismo repeated this.

     @lispi314 it was specifically "why are you copying files via USB when you have a network"
     yes I love copying files to a storage device, syncing it, unmounting it, physically unplugging it, moving it somewhere else, plugging it in, mounting it, and copying them off

     @izaya Wireless is a bad idea for anything you don't want trivial injection and eavesdropping on (or want any reliability whatsoever).

     As for ethernet vs USB, ultimately you're just going to get USB-IP that way, because one of the many benefits of USB is the sheer number of object classes that are standardized so that you can be sure they'll work as intended everywhere and that standard expects the networking layer to be USB.

     Otherwise pending re-standardization we'd need drivers for each.

     @izaya @lispi314 The absolute state of modern file transfer
     I still email stuff to myself to transfer to/from fone because fone is hot garbage no matter what you do. I even have an ftp server installed on it. ?????
