As a Star Wars nerd, I've always liked Obi-WAN Kenobi and LANdo Calrissian.

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.

When the conspiracy theories about 5G causing covid started gaining traction, I named my 5Ghz connection "Virus Distribution Centre"

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

There's one in my building called ]Tower-COVID19[/invisible]

The dangling right bracket at the beginning makes it so much funnier to me. It's like someone fucked up some sort of SSID markup language and gave away the conspiracy.

Not a wifi network, but a hotspot. COVID19 Chip 1939. I live with a lot of Magat types

My home one is Chipolte Guest, there are no chipoltes within 10 miles. My travel router is Starbucks Guest for when I stay in hotels. I wonder how many people try to connect to it lol.

Did you spell Chipotle wrong intentionally

It crashed some devices when they scan for WiFi networks (both Linux's network-manager and a Canon Printer at least)

I've used a similar one before.

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

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.

  • Panic at the Cisco

I used to troll my roommate: I have a Multi-Band wireless access point, and I would name other networks stuff to mess with them. They are from Louisiana, and are very proud of their culinary roots. One day, they came back from a trip with the relatives, and brought home some boudin, which I cooked and served with rice. I thought it was sausage, but it's a blend of pork cooked down with onions, peppers, seasonings, AND cooked rice, so serving it with rice was redundant, apparently. They got SO ANGRY, that to this day, I am not allowed to eat it in front of them, so I have been trolling them for "boudin with rice" everywhere I can. When they still lived with me, I changed the "ancillary network names" shit like, "Boudin with rice," and "Mild crawfish with ketchup," and "Campbell's New England Gumbo" and a ton of other culinary "bastardizations" of authentic Louisiana cooking. So every time they were on their laptop, I'd hear a "... Boudin corn dog--OH MY GOD PUNKIE YOU BASTARD!!! AAUGH!!!"

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Campbell's New England Gumbo is hilarious

One of mine is called “download virus” to stop my neighbours accidentally trying to connect.

When my wife (then girlfriend) was in in school, she moved in with a couple of female roommates. I set up their WiFi and called it "GirlsGoneWireless"
