This is oh sweet summer child stuff.
Have you ever gone to a crowded public place and setup an open hotspot?
- dbtablesorrows 8mo agoAh I think I never had to do connect to a public open hotspot because by the time I grew up 4G and then 5G internet were commonplace.
- krater23 8mo agoAnd you have them in your laptop? Or just using your phone and don't own a laptop at all?
- ZiiS 8mo agoI would use my phone's 'hotspot' long before I tried random wifi on my laptop?
- zeendo 8mo agoAre you being willfully obtuse or do you actually believe that's true of everyone? There are so many reasons why someone might have a laptop in such a situation but not be able to use a hotspot on their phone - it's not even worth listing them.
- ZiiS 8mo agoThat isn't what this thread suggested; I was supporting plausibility of the GP's claim never to have used public Wifi because of good 4G; stating they could still have used a laptop in public. My wording was also explicit that this isn't always an option.
- account42 8mo agoNever travelled to another country and needed internet before you could get a local sim working?
- ZiiS 8mo agoesim for the win.
- hpdigidrifter 8mo agoAirport is prime for this but in general the average person keeps wifi on and the click through on an Android to use open networks is so seamless
