Ask HN: Ethernet at home

On HN

If I'm home, working at my desk, I always (still) switch to the wired LAN. It's slightly faster, and I dunno feels more secure.

I like the comfort of unplugging the wire from the laptop before bed: I know it's offline.

Anyone else?

I back up my computer over wireless (I share a huge networked drive with my family), but whenever I'm browsing or uploading code, I feel more comfortable (for some inexplicable reason) being wired-in.

And yes, I do on occasion unplug. And it feels good.
