I’d rather people got used to just going without instead. Grab a book, go outside under a tree. Read the book.

Cancel subscriptions, cancel memberships, cancel reoccuring costs. Buy food, and quality items. Stop buying ‘smart’ shit.

You need none of this junk. Stop feeding the machine. Make them hurt. We control ALL the power.

I’m so glad I went to school before laptops existed.

Say what now?

This. Eggplant seeds are growing. Not fully developed yet.

Sure? I’d do it all day. It wouldn’t bother me on the giving or receiving end. it’s a word with a definition and as long as it applies to the situation/male I’m speaking with it’ll be business as usual. In fact, I’ll use it to address every single male I encounter for the next 24 hours, in and out of work. That’s how confident I am that nobody, that is male would bat an eye or care.

What about the term ladies…is that ‘socially acceptable’. It’s got sexual connotations like ladies of the night. Which is another way of sayings street whore. Should that be shunned too? Perhaps we should just abolish English or even language altogether for fear that someone gets offended.

I really do not understand these weird feelings people put on things, then expect the world to ensure they follow some rule of feelings. It’s absurd.

This isn’t brands were referring too. Internet and wifi are subjectively different things.

It would be the same as saying ‘give me oil so I can moisturize my skin’ when you meant petroleum jelly, or Vaseline .

Or, ‘hand me a towel to blow me nose’ when you meant Kleenex or tissues.

(The towel one doesn’t really apply, but it’s just as stupid)

Can you imagine asking someone to help you with your house electricity when the bulb is burnt? Electricity goes through the light bulb…but they aren’t the same thing and you’d be hard pressed to find someone who would give you proper answers like…change the light bulb.

At the end of the day, wifi does not mean internet. And when you’re given wrong advice because you don’t understand that and choose to argue factually incorrect terminology, it’s your problem when things go wrong. Not the people who give you correct information for your poor word choices. Try learning instead of arguing.

Blame shit phones and trash auto correct.

Words have meaning, don’t change the meaning and expect to be understood properly. At the end of the day, it’s your problem when you’re given wrong advice and screw things up because you didn’t understand the proper terminology, and the stupidly fought people who tried to correct you so you.

I doubt any male would find this offensive. Call em males, they are afterall. If anything they will most likely play into the narration and make you say some absurd shit just for the lulz

Laptops, desktops and servers, automation hardware. My comment was more educational, not a personal attack or anything. Just wanting the correct terms to be used. ISPs have done a great job uneducating people is all.

It’s like saying your electricity is out, when you mean lightbulb is broken. People would say call an electrician, when in reality you just need to address the bulb and not the entire houses electrical system.

Words have meaning. Don’t change the meaning and expect to be understood when asking for help.

Obviously they don’t.

Education. Wifi is NOT internet and can lead to wrong or misleading answers and wastes people’s time.

Because the question made no sense since wifi is free, and has nothing to do with internet. Education on the terms, when asking for help provides better answers.

Saying wifi does not work could mean, the wifi doesn’t work, or it could mean the Internet doesn’t work. Both are very different and have different forms of diagnostics.

No, it’s not, and yes being peda tix about terms is important. It’s education.

I have an internal wifi network for devices that don’t have internet access. I also have a wifi network that is connected to the Internet.

My wifi doesn’t work…figure out what the heck is wrong.

I’d be curious what games actually utilize multithreading

Wifi doesn’t cost anything monthly. It’s a 1 time cost for a device like an access point and it’s cheap. Are you confusing wifi with internet?

I’m sorry, what?

Are you confusing wifi with internet? Wifi is free. It costs nothing. Internet is a different story. You can have wifi without internet, and you can have internet without wifi. They are not the same thing.
