How can the AP make such a basic mistake as calling Internet access 'Wi-Fi'?
The Taliban didn't ban Wi-Fi, they banned fiber optic internet connections. People can run Wi-Fi networks all day.
Because almost everyone else in the world has begun referring to their entire internet connection as "Wi-Fi" and it pisses me off, too.
I've also noticed it's becoming more common to call desktop PCs laptops, interesting linguistic shift
The fuck..? Seriously? That’s like calling a faucet a water bottle.
Mom, can we get water bottles at home?
No, we already have water bottles at home.
