people who use wifi for everything and can't even be bothered to hardwire their computers are part of the problem with the internet getting slower. nobody's innovating anymore

Really, hardwiring is the answer to your problems? You're blaming users for your internet provider's failure to upgrade their infrastructure?

um yea wireless connectivity should be less of a binary thing and more about when it's actually

the thousands of people who can't run a 50ft cat5e through their rental or live in apartments with ancient wiring infrastructure are 'part of the problem'? are you f**king serious?

People complaining about wifi are just mad they can't plug their router directly into their dial-up nostalgia

how about we start innovating by not blaming others for our own internet issues?

Preach, and also have you noticed how many orgs are still on IPv4 because "nobody uses IPv6 in production"? The pace of innovation is directly tied to people's willingness to sweat the details and not take shortcuts.

seriously, are you kidding me? hardwiring my computer is a literal nightmare, and wifi is just so much more convenient for a home setup

great, a wifi truther. probably still rocking a dial-up connection at home and ranting about how "real" it is

sounds like someone's bitter that wifi is more convenient than ethernet. not everyone needs enterprise-level internet speeds. maybe focus on fixing your own setup instead of complaining about everyone else.

seriously. plus everyone streaming 4k video 24/7 prob doesnt help either.

damn straight, wireless is a security nightmare and a huge bottleneck. and it's not just about innovation. It's about the fact that we're all just sacrificing security and performance for the sake of convenience

preach. can't believe people still rely on wifi that's 20 feet away from their router.

are you kidding me? wifi is fine, the problem is isp monopolies and lack of fiber optic infrastructure, not people using wifi for their computers

lmao what an idiot take. wifi is convenient af and people can use tech however they want. not everyone needs to be a nerd about ethernet cables.

ok boomer just cause you still use a flip phone doesn't mean the rest of us want to go back to dialup

can't say i disagree, wifi's a crutch for so many people but let's be real, we're also blaming the symptom not the actual problem here -

yeah because the real culprit here is clearly the 37 people in their mom's basement still using router names like 'linksys Latest' rather than the obvious '<3mywifi

same, i'm still using an old adapter cuz companies decided wifi routers just weren't worth updating anymore

You're blaming slow internet on people who use wifi? How about we look at the telecom companies and their blatant lack of infrastructure upgrades?

why does it bother you so much how other people use their internet? you must have a lot of free time on your hands.

what does hardwiring really even do for the average user though?

yes, this is so true. like, just get an ethernet cable and stop hogging all the wifi.

hardwiring computers isn't magically gonna make the internet faster when the infrastructure is still a pile of garbage thanks to our lovely fiber-optic shortage

umm how many people do you think have the option to hardwire their apartment buildings or dorm rooms lol

that's a pretty outdated take. wifi technology has come a long way and most people don't need or want wired connections anymore. innovation is happening all the time. You're just not paying attention.

um so you're saying the average consumer with a likely not-so-expert understanding of networking is just taking up valuable resources that

agree but like, maybe those people just find wireless more convenient?

yeah, totally agree. too many people just want convenience over quality these days.

lol no one is holding back innovation because you can't be bothered to plug in your laptop dude

dude, how many isps do you think are intentionally throttling wifi users vs the number of devs who are just too lazy to optimize their code?

fr, hardwire is so much better. wifi is weak af, can't even game on that garbage. and these mfs really complain about the internet when they refuse to get the

tbh i kinda feel the same way. i swear it's like some people have no idea how things worked before wireless

yep, cant stand the laziness and the glorification of wirelessness just because it's "convenient" let's all just admit we're too cheap to run some extra cable

why do you care so much about how other people use the internet? are you the internet police or something?

this person really said "nobody's innovating anymore" while being mad about wifi 😂 ok boomer

yeah, and people who think ethernet is the only way to access the internet are part of the problem with humanity getting more pretentious.

imagine thinking hardwired internet is the only way to innovate these days.

um, so you're saying rich college kids in starter apartments with no outlet layout planning to shell out for a lan cable are just holding

bruh, i bet this person still has dial-up and a flip phone. maybe they should innovate on their own internet situation before coming for

so you think grandma checking her email on wifi is why you're getting lag in your games?

are you kidding me? people using wifi aren't suddenly sucking down all the bandwidth.

dude wifi is wireless internet it's literally just a connection method not the culprit of slow speeds

yeah, i'm so tired of people's laziness when it comes to networking. it's like, come on, put in a decent switch and spend 20 bucks on a cat 6 cable.

man you're gonna freak out when you find out i use a tablet with cellular and stream everything to

yeah i'm so over people who think wifi is good enough, like have you ever had a reliable connection in a crowded area?

i'm right there with you on the wifi thing but it's also insane that our infrastructure can't keep up with demand. You know?

yeah, i'm totally with you on that. it's like people are so addicted to the convenience of wireless, they forget about the bigger picture. we all need to be more mindful of our internet usage and how it impacts the whole system.

if you're that outraged by people not innovating, have you tried explaining to your grandma how to properly set up a lan cable?

maybe you should focus on your own internet setup instead of judging others. wifi is way more convenient these days and innovation is happening

spot on. and dont even get me started on the death of qos, like whats the point of a gigabit pipe if your bufferbloat is so bad it takes 5 seconds to get a dns response

yeah i agree but also can we talk about isp monopolies and how they're literally the biggest

hardwiring my whole computer rig just to browse reddit isn't realistic, ease of setup and convenience is a valid tradeoff, not "part of the problem

imagine thinking ethernet cables are the future. sounds like someone's grandpa got on social media again.

great, so now we're blaming the wifi users for corporate clients overstuffing their routers with redundant branches and home internet caps

you expect everyone to suddenly go wired when isp's still cant deliver reliable speeds?

then what's up with all the fiber infrastructure changes i see happening where you live?

agree, but people also need to stop downloading 100 gigs of games on their home wifi. that's just as much of a problem if not more.

you're not considering access to remote locations, apartment complexes, or households with limited outlet availability

um really? then explain how wrestling with cables in my living room was exactly what my productivity needed?

I'm pretty sure the only thing you're innovating right now is the art of trolling

what are you doing about it besides complaining on the internet?

that's a pretty outdated take. wifi is fast and reliable these days, and most people don't even have ethernet ports on their devices anymore. let's not get stuck in the past - innovation is happening all around us, even if it's not always visible.

that's so dumb. we all use wifi, get over it. not everyone has the time or money to hardwire everything.

tell that to the wifi router i'm sharing with 17 roommates

bro if i had to hardwire everything id be tangled up like a damn christmas tree.

are you kidding me? not everyone has the luxury of having a stable or safe place to set up a hardwired network, wifi is fine for most

That's a pretty narrow-minded view. Wireless tech has come a long way and is often more convenient. Just because someone prefers wireless doesn't make them part of the problem. There are plenty of other factors that impact internet speeds.

mate, everyone uses wifi nowadays. not everyone can be bothered running cables all over the place.

totally agree, but also, who makes it easy to hardwire nowadays? most laptops are a pain to set up and even if you can, the cables are like, an inch long.

who are we supposed to innovate exactly, just completely abandoning standards for the sake of laziness? are we gonna go back to modems too?

i dont know if wifi is hte only issue, but constant porting everything to wireless just to be "convenient" is lazy development.

nah, that's bs. wifi is super convenient and most people don't need hard wired connections.

Wireless innovators to the left, please

i know, right? like, i get that wifi is convenient but c'mon, hardwiring isn't that hard.

yup, completely agree. it's like, how hard is it to plug in a cable, wifi is always gonna be slower

what's your problem with wifi? you think we should all be living in the stone age or something?

i mean, have you seen how clunky and expensive wired internet infrastructure can be? wifi is fine for most people.

yeah because nothing screams "innovation" like forcing ppl to reconnect their cables from the couch

yep, that's so true. but let's not pretend the isp's aren't a big part of the problem too. i mean, what's the point of having a 100mbps plan if you're still gonna throttle your

totally agree, but let's be real - most people arent even given the option to hardwire anymore, our schools are already so outdated

how do you plan on getting the connectivity from the internet to your device if you're not using wifi?

yea, totally agree. it's like people can't be bothered to put in any effort these days.

imagine thinking wifi is the problem and not the massive video streaming and bitcoin mining

totally agree, but let's be real, our infrastructure needs an overhaul too. wireless is convenient, but it's time to invest in a modern system that can keep up with our demands

you think maybe some ppl just dont cr about super fast internet?

the irony of a slap-dash rant with a character limit

dude, get off your high horse. wifi is convenient as hell and most people dont even need hardwired connections. you sound like an out of touch boomer. innovate deez nuts.

the wifi in my house is so slow, even my dog gets impatient waiting for it to load.

yeah cuz hardwiring my laptop to the router would totally solve the world's internet congestion lol

wtf? just because someone uses wifi doesn't mean they're the problem.

we're gonna have to diagram your response to figure out who is the real "hardware" issue

yeah because being able to hardwire 3 devices while chewing your oatmeal is clearly the key to

That's not how internet infrastructure works, wifi demand isn't the bottleneck, it's carriers and ISPs throttling and overcharging, take your beef to the actual problem instead of blaming end users

i feel u on that one. too many people just mindlessly connect everything wireless these days w/o

I've hardwired my expectations of internet speeds to be low, that way I'm never disappointed

yeah cuz the first thing i'm gonna do is break open my wall and string cables behind the drywall... said no one ever

you're so right. everything is wireless these days and no one cares about actual internet quality anymore.

I'm with you, but let's not blame the whole community for the lack of innovation. Maybe we should point fingers at the ISPs for not upgrading their infrastructure instead of the end users.

piss off. you think everyone can afford to hardwire everything?

imagine having to drill holes in your walls and run cables to check twitter.
