PS: couple people pointed out that it could’ve been EoE (Energy over Ethernet) or PoE (Power over Ethernet). The main difference is that PoE allows both power and data to be sent by an Ethernet cable while EoE is mainly used to monitor energy efficiency over Ethernet (EoE is a broader term as I’ve learned). If this person meant that but didn’t know what it was called, then they’re right. But unfortunately, it’s not your regular charging cable acting as Ethernet here, it’s the Ethernet cable sending both power and data to your device.
If the only concern is to connect your computer to the internet, then it is very much possible to use the mobile data on your phone and connect it to your PC via a usb cable (not Ethernet, just a normal USB cable). You can also share your PCs connection to your phone as well. Atleast in MacOS10.12+ and iOS10+. Not 100% sure about the windows and android side of things as I haven’t tried it out personally. It’s done via USB tethering. Pretty old tech as well tbh. Weird that you haven’t even heard about it.
That makes sense. But isn’t the Ethernet cable acting as both Ethernet and power cable, or is it the power cable acting as data transmitter? Edit: “It’s a router that provides power over Ethernet cables” I see your point, it’s the same thing I have in my dorm, just an Ethernet cable connected to the router for data transmission but also powers the router. I’m not sure what your stance is, but I was just pointing out in the video that your phone/router charging cable (given that it’s not the Ethernet cable itself) cannot replace an Ethernet cable.
You are over thinking this and acting a bit like a know it all child. They shared a picture of a usb-c ethernet adapter, this will provide a ethernet connection. Not knowing what the model of the adapater they had shared, it's possible it could be a POE capable usbc ethernet adapter, allowing the device to be charged while also getting ethernet. You must also understand that people call usb-c a charging cable.
I’m just learning of EoE few hours ago, but knew of PoE (just forgot to ask if they possibly meant that). And if that’s the case, you’re right. Just a reminder, they said “using your regular charging cord” which Ethernet isn’t. But correct me when I’m wrong, I appreciate that.

Good job bro🙌

Oh I know of USB tethering. The argument was on using your portable WiFi’s charging cable in place of Ethernet.
@@BlueVulc yup, that’s it. Sorry, brain is t working yet, was too early in the A.M.
EoE?
What’s that?
@@BlueVulc energy over Ethernet. Its a router that provides power over Ethernet cables

It's PoE, Power Over Ethernet.
Ah, I see.
