Chromecast Gets a Hardwired Ethernet Adapter
Mark Wilson writes: Google's Chromecast has gained quite a following of people looking for a cheap, simple way to stream content to their TVs. Part of the device's appeal is its easy of use and extensibility through the use of apps, but it is reliant on a steady Wi-Fi signal. If this represents a problem in your home, there's now a solution. The new Ethernet Adapter for Chromecast does very much what you would expect — it adds a wired Ethernet port to Google's streaming dongle. This is great news for anyone with a flaky Wi-Fi signal, or those looking to use Chromecast beyond their router's normal range.
An usb?
An? I recognize that English can be tricky even for folks born in such countries, but sheeshL
Again: "an usb"?
Is there any pronunciation of USB that does elicits an "an"? Or have I been saying U S B wrong all of these years by spelling it out, and should be instead saying "uhsbah"?
Because Webster calls it \ËOEyü-(ËOE)es-ËbÄ"\, and I can't argue with that. (Fucking /. Unicode ruining linguistics yet again, but the link is good.)
Say it out-loud: "A USB," vs. "An USB.": (IE, "A yoo-ess-bee," vs "An yoo-ess-bee")
If the former still sounds more-wrong than the latter, then good luckl with my language!
