Google Wifi
If there's one person in this entire world that I know can make use of this new product from Google called Google Wifi, it's my dad.
I have never met another person on earth with more Wifi problems than my dad. I know precisely why he has so much trouble too. He buys the lowest common denominator tech gear based solely on price. Sure, that's fine if you live in a 25x25 cube. But when you live in a larger house, that's not going to do. So what does my dad do? He buys more of the same cheap crap and lives a life constantly on the border of have-wifi and not-have-wifi. I can't stand it.
NYC's free super-fast Wi-Fi really is crazy fast
OMG, do you see the numbers in this speed test for New York City's new LinkNYC free Wi-Fi? I don't think I've ever seen speeds like that anywhere. If this is how fast NYC's free Wi-Fi network is going to be in the future, I don't think there's going to be any reason for me to have to buy internet at all (assuming that this program gets rolled out to cover the entire city).
It's also pretty neat too that LinkNYC takes public Wi-Fi security so seriously. I felt pretty safe logging into their network with their security procedures (a few prompts on screen and an approved security certificate -- just do it, you'll see) and the entire process was quick and simple. If you're along 3rd Avenue around 15th Street, try it out.
