Why do all thing need to look like these soulless glass metal and concrete blobs. Like bruh, why not build something cool lime a Roman Temple, European Castle, Viking Longhouse, Ancient Chinese Pagoda ...
Epic (software company) has a really cool campus near Madison, WI where all of the buildings are different styles of architecture. One of them is a giant dairy barn.

~~Don't be evil~~
The moral is – Wi-fi intensity study should be part of modern architecture.
I'm all for 👍 architecture. Just consider Wi-fi before building it.
For this structure, I wonder if the best solution is – Just add more mesh points. Not elegant but what if there's no better way?
That was my interest in the story. Technology is so ingrained in our lives. It's weird more furniture doesn't have power chargers and other cords better designed into them. It's weird our houses and electrical codes haven't caught up.
But this is just a huge step back. Unless I'm unaware of lots of other new and old buildings with similar issues.
No, please do not start adding electrical components to furniture en mass.
If you do, I give it 1, maybe 2 generations, until furniture is partially subsidized by tech companies and it becomes niche to NOT have a "smart couch".
Funny you mention the smart couch because that's the type of furniture that seems to come with USB charging stations a lot nowadays. But I hope most smart home devices remain a niche for a while. The open source and crafting community around them is pretty amazing and I'd hate to see it getting literally sideshelved for smart home prefabs.

I guess they’ll have to cancel their building like they cancel everything else they do.
But unlike a lot of the other products they cancel, I'll have actually known that this existed first.

Glad to see Google is embracing evil even with it's architecture now
I’ll take access point bombing for 1000 Alex. I see several in wall and wall-mounted varieties in the immediate future of that place… 😂
lmao sounds like they just need to all stand right at the spot where the parabolas of the ceiling have a focal point.
The parabolas' focal points are outside of the building, which incidentally is also the best place to be.

Do you want a grilled human? Because that's how you get grilled human.
I bet there is a strong WiFi spot a few feet above the building.
