Tell me again why are C-level and VPs paid so much? 🤣
One anonymous employee told Reuters, "You’d think the world’s leading Internet company would have worked this out."
You don't think that's exactly why they constructed that building the way they did? WiFi is much less secure than a wired connection. It makes much more sense to me that they knew it would make WiFi not work as well to get more employees to used wired connections for security reasons.
If it were for security reasons, they wouldn't allow work devices in the WiFi at all (which is a very reasonable policy)
I actually rather prefer ethernet. Much more stable.
Totally fits in the google idiotism that we got used to since few years. The enshittification started when that pichai become the CEO
Apple's first ever wireless access point prototype was initially painted with metallic color. Not a wave made it through.

Guessing the building was designed by an artist and not an engineer.
The architecture world is crazy
Its funny that one of the monuments of capitalism has bad WiFi because the roof had to be very fancy and imposing.
Funny how there's a lot of wired vs wireless hate in the comments, can't really pin down the reason. Generational?
Wired will always be more stable and faster, whereas wireless is more ubiquitous. If you work at a fixed position, prefer wired. If wired is unavailable, well, you'll have to make do with wireless. USB-C dongles and docking stations are a thing, so the laptop doesn't have it argument doesn't hold.
Thank god for a lick of sense. I literally do low voltage and controls design, they both have their place. Building a cluster of cubicles for accounting? Yeah, run some Ethernet to their docks. Building a warehouse production floor? You better have enough WAPs to confuse Cardi B installed so the little manager with his iPad can edit processes on the fly.
