    i would consider the devices you used to have some value. and i would consider privacy valuable. so it is not necessarily value-less.

    you can just get a prepaid sim with hotspot capability and not have to deal with physical wifi locations.

    if you can afford a coffee shop’s overpriced bottled water and muffin for a week at over $10 a day, you can probably afford a preloaded sim that will last you for 3 months at 4gb or more for $45 before tax. or get a prepaid sim with unlimited data for 3 months which would be less than a week of $15 coffee muffin juice per day.

    Wireless carriers should just offer truly unlimited hotspot so you could get a much faster, more reliable, and safer connection with 5G.

    public WiFi????

    The only persons I think have an excuse to be using free Wifi, are those with budget to sorta mid tier phones.

    If you can afford to have a flagship phone, you should be able to afford a decent data plan. Investing your money in a high end device and then having to bum free data is like having an expensive car and using low grade gas because you can’t afford premium (persons travelling far out of town not included).

    Get it together people!

      @Cente guåhan what your comment shows is that although you can… read, comprehension is not your strongest area. Try reading what I said again. Go slower this time. Much slower.

    Do libraries let you go to pornsites? Maybe the restrictions are on the physical hardware but not the wifi router itself.

    After seeing what a Pineapple device can do. I would suggest never using public Wi-Fi and now! Be careful of power cables! ???????? They can take everything, with what looks like a usb cable.
