I'm going to ask a very naive question:
Say I have two devices manufactured in the last four years (by Lenovo and BeagleBoard, if it matters). Each has a physical Ethernet port.
At one time, say 2001, my understanding was there are two types of Ethernet cable: Regular, and "Crossover". "Crossover" cables go device-to-device; regular cables require an intermediary like a hub.
Is my 2001 understanding accurate in 2024? Should I expect I can connect 2 modern devices with a regular cable?
