It works fine over just 4 wires, considering they are the correct 4. You can split cat5 cable into 2 this way, but you can have only 10 Mbps over each.
Keep in mind that autonegotiation often doesn't work and you have use a low-level tool to set 10 Mbps full duplex manually.

They were! There was a plethora of different "batch extenders" that allowed you to do more, one of the most popular came with Norton Utilities. It even allowed you to make some TUI things — display dialog windows with buttons and other such things.

You're right! However the option to use it in LE mode depends heavily on platform as a whole, e.g. OpenFirmware used in Powermac G5 does not make it possible. I don't remember it too well, but AFAIK you could even switch the boot mode to LE and… it just won't boot 😂

That said, the demise of PowerPC is a question of time.
Cell Broadband Engine (CellBE) is coincidentally Big Endian, so it's already not supported, I doubt that Linux dropping support for it is even a factor here 🤷

@nyanide @p
Support for Big Endian 64-bit PowerPC (and 32-bit too of course) has already been dropped, last time I tried building Go on such a machine, the resulting binary was giving me SIGILL.
ppc64el — Little Endian, the architecture modern IBM PowerPC hardware uses is still supported though and AFAIK there were no plans to drop it. Problem is, those machines are expensive, the average user can't afford them.

AFAIR the book is pretty much open-ended and that very well could be the case. But for the movie they've made the plot more consistent making it not impossible, but less likely.

@Mutedog @StefanThinks
Had Fight Club been written today, the main character, Tyler, Marla and Bob would all be the same person 😅

The issues the main character is dealing with aren't too different from what people face today. And the way he deals with them are sure unhealthy, but sadly it's not much worse than what we sometimes see in reality nowadays. At least in the movie — the book was darker, but I don't remember it too well.
