    The IT tech joke is that it’s not “Wi-Fi access”, it’s “internet access”. Wi-Fi is a tool to link devices together wirelessly on short distances, the internet is for long distances. It’s annoying to see that the press conflates the two.

    You still need a cable connection (or sg like Starlink) to your house and router to have internet access through your Wi-Fi at home.

      This is what happens when idiots write articles with 0 understanding of what they’re writing about…all while having literally humans entire knowledge base at the same machine they’re publishing their documents on.
