Whats the model of the USB-Ethernet adapter? Last I checked there were only the GBit ethernet to USB 2 (even in USB 3 models), which gives less than half the bandwith.
There have been USB 3 gigabit ethernet adapters (which perform at USB 3 speeds) for years. StarTech's adapter is one such example, and has been on the market since 2013.
You can find on eBay a lot of USB 3.0 to gigabit ethernet. There are some with Realtek controllers (if not you better not buy it). Anyway, I bought one (mine was a USB 3.0 hub with RJ45 so it was a little bit more expensive , 16$ but you can find only with RJ45 at around 10$); signal is perfect, fast transfer with 110+ MB and never crashes.
Or the G5? lol A bit late to the party. Anyone that wanted a new device 2 months ago already got one - and did so without being able to see a true full review of any device (S7 & edge, G5, and now the 10). I must admit it was a crapshoot finding credible information on this year's new devices. Fortunately for me I chose the S7 edge (first Samsung phone for me since the S2). I get it that you guys likely work full time in addition to doing the awesome reviews here, but if you guys needed more help with this years new phone reviews I thought I would have seen a 'call for writers' post. And when the new iPhone got a prompt review all of the conspiracy theorists started up again...
I guess Allo/Duo will supplant Hangout? Since it's based around the phone # and all, seems like everything Google+ ever touched got revamped or taken out back and shot itf... Shame cause I like Hangout, dunno whether Allo will see any better adoption, I guess being based around your # helps but other IM services have done that for years.
Google keeps making more and more messengers. They are all partially redundant, none of them have a full feature set and none of them have a decent userbase.
I've gone back to using Skype (and now complemented by Whatsapp) after literal years of trying to get my friends to use hangouts.
LOVE the fact that you flipped the blog to chronological order after the event was over from the live newest is first order during the event. Massively helpful for those of us reading after work. I wish more sites did this. Kudos to Anandtech this small but awesome thing!
They used to, years ago, not so much the last few years. The new Nexus are usually just sorta let loose on a whim later in the year, along with stuff like Home (or the various other past streaming devices).
At least the actual launches/sale have been going more smoothly, pre N5 they had quite a few debacles and Play/site outages. I think that's why the N5 just sorta showed up right before Halloween without even an official press release (initially).

Wasn't Google Now supposed to be the Google Assistant? Does this piggyback upon Now or is it's own thing?CalaverasGrande - Wednesday, May 18, 2016 - link
in typical google (alphabet?) fashion they will probably do both, and fold up the one that performs poorly.webdoctors - Wednesday, May 18, 2016 - link

Do they normally do device announcements during google i/o as well? If they do... kinda disappointing that nothing was announced..Impulses - Thursday, May 19, 2016 - link
