    Department 13

    In cyrrillic.

    There was an “FBI Van” in the apartment van and I thought going with the KGB assassination team would be amusing.

    Unfortunately, nobody got it.

    Pfizer BioNTech chip ultra 5G has been the name of mobile hotspot for more than a year now, and to say the least, I am very pleased.

    I used to call my mobile hotspot virus.exe to prevent strangers trying to connect. Do the same with bluetooth devices that broadcast (like my tv). Neighbors stopped trying to connect after it was called virus.exe

      My first wifi network post-college was “viruses_and_goat_porn”.

      It still didn’t stop free loaders….but in their defense, there were no viruses. 👀🐐

      Aren’t you supposed to set a password on your mobile hotspot so strangers dont connect?

    I’ve seen a lot of “Free Wifi” networks that are open to the public with bad encryption. Most likely set up by people who want to spy on where people go and steal their cookies.

      Well, NetMan is an abhorrent piece of shit anyway. It’s so bad, I’m sure Lennart wrote parts.
