Modernists: confused why this happened

Postmodernist: of course this happened, the videogame is more real to them than the human is

We just supposed to assume that’s the whole story? Why was any of this happening? How many straws?

Btw is it only my country in which people call the internet wifi these days? As an IT worker I feel my brain deteriorate every time even a company doesn’t use these terminologies properly in their ads.

i was there when they started calling every type of program an “app”.

makes tech more opaque to normies, easier to control the narrative this way.

It hurt a bit when the contractor I am dealing with at work kept on mixing up disk with memory. It wasn’t so much that I am being pedantic it is that he is making claims off his mixup.

I asked him politely to please search up the differences.

I’m an IT guy right with you but I’m also a linguist:

My ISP doesn’t even tell you if your WAN is down when you check your service status on their app. It just tells you to “check your Wi-Fi router and reset if necessary”.

If you use your own router, it won’t even tell you that, it just says “issue finding wifi 360 information”.

Oh no, this is what I’m talking about. But in our case, those stupid people don’t distinguish between Wifi and LAN anymore anywhere in their anything.

Edit: one day, a dubious network worker came to my flat saying they are testing the Wifi provided by the apartment. I told him I don’t need it because I set up my Wifi on my own.

Then he told that’s impossible because if I’m using Wifi I must be using the hardware of the apartment.

Turned out, he can’t distinguish between the fiber port and a Wifi router…

I wanted to know if he was sent by the house maintenance or just another salesman. But how can you talk with a person on IT, when he continues mixing up technological terms!?

Eventually I got upset and closed the intercom.

Shutting down WIFI is synonymous with turning off the router for me

Well, could really have been the wifi that was cut and not the entire box.

Yeah for real, who games on wifi? I was just invited to move in to my girlfriends place, I shoved myself down in the crawlspace to run ethernet before I even set my computer up. My motherboard has wifi built in if I wanted to use it.

He wasn’t there to win, just to talk to little kids. Wi-Fi is perfectly acceptable for that.
