In a remote area. Which has no WiFi to begin with.

You mean cellular service, it has no cellular service. Wi-Fi is a communications protocol for communicating over short distances.

It's the router that generates the Wi-Fi.

No, they mean WiFi. Everyone knows what WiFi is. But routers don't grow on trees!

Routers aren't just lying around all over the place, dude...

The router would be a part of the car... You don't need an internet connection to utilize Wi-fi for local networks. It's literally just wireless LAN.

I'm not talking bout the Internet. Router as part of a car? That's an insane proposition.

Dude you're mind will be blown when you find out about wireless headphones

Bluetooth is a different matter. That might actually make sense.

[-] onion@feddit.de 1 points 11 months ago

No it's not a different matter

...Of course it is. Bluetooth is a totally different technology with different protocols and different uses. Bluetooth can be emitted by a single tiny on board chip with no need for a whole WAP.

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
