Yeah, but they're still filled with grues.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

They've got light. For now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

If that light isn't from a glowing elvish sword, they're definitely in trouble.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

i mean they're in more trouble if it is...

Is it now the norm to make the term WiFi synonymous with the term cellular/mobile data (or 4g/5g)

They are not the same thing.

Is this like when people call tablets ipads? Or call vacuums hoovers/dysons.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I'd say these examples are different, more like Kleenex where brand names become the common term. This is more like when parents used to buy a Wii game for your "playbox station".

There is a term, that I am too lazy to search, that when a brand or technology is so widespread or used, that the name of the brand or technology becomes the word used to describe anything that ressemble that brand or technology.

Wi-Fi and iPads are definitely some of those.

It's like calling all fuel diesel.

Maybe someone has a router down there

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (4 children)

Well, that sort of highlights my issue and why i assume they meant mobile data. If they are, in the joke, connected to WiFi, then they wouldn't be surprised by the signal strength. Because they are near a router and therfore the signal is good enough to use. You aren't typically able to connect to WiFi if the signal is below -70 -80 decibels.

I think its fairly clear that they meant mobile data as this is something you would be surprised to still have if you were lost in a cave.

Not that i wouldn't be surprised to find WiFi down there, just that i wouldn't be surprised by the strength of the WiFi signal if i was standing close enough to a router to see the SSID.

Hey, it does not work me, getting ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED. Do you have an alternative site I can check speed to myself? Thanks in advance.

How the hell did you get my address

[–] [email protected] 31 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Ok, but how'd they take the picture of the phone?

OP is a camera

[–] [email protected] 50 points 6 months ago

He’s about to reach the secret core control room.

There’s a giant netgear router

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The mother of all netgear routers. That's where all baby netgear routers are made

Then you hear a skittering in the darkness before you're devoured by a swarm of these things

Hell has the best wifi because it doesn't give a fuck about FCC regulations.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Except that would mean awful wifi. FCC regulations stop ISPs from selling a worse product for more money to people with little to no choice in providers.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That's definitely true, and a good point to make. But yeah, the joke was that wifi signals can be stronger if they aren't limited by the FCC's radio power limits.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I'm no radiologist (and video didn't kill me), but I'm pretty sure that radio waves tend to struggle underground..

Nothing a bit more wattage can't fix

The routers antennas probably fit well into hells surroundings with their soft, reddish-white glow

Or Covid /s
