There's a big-ish story going around in the fighting game community that 50% of players are using WiFi. In discussions online most people defend their use of WiFi out of ignorance or perceived difficulty to run a cable. I think a LTT tutorial on just how easy it can be to run a cable would be a super useful resource to pass around to these people. Some topics can be: Examples of why wifi is bad for online gaming/how it manifests (here's a video with a fighting game dev going in depth on it ) How to make an ethernet cable (since buying a box and making your own for you and your friends can be vastly cheaper than buying premade ones) How to get a cheap cable and run it across the floor How to neatly run an exposed cable, with clips and proper wire management How to run cables through the walls (maybe feature Brian the electrician for pro tips?) How to convince who you live with that their lives will be better wired too (wire up the parents' Roku for reliable streaming. Less things on wifi means the things that have to use wifi will work better.)
