Yup, I've seen one a few places with an ISP's name, set to psuedo-open. It would show as an open network in your device's list, but if you tried to connect, it direct you to a web page asking for a username and password. ☹️ Related, my public library's wifi doesn't ask for a login, but it does direct you to a web page of terms and conditions you have to OK before you can do anything on it.
That's very common where I live. All ISPs have their own public wifi which appear without a password but you need to log in into an account that actually pays for the service (it's usually included with internet plans). Wifi at cafés and restaurants also often ask you to log in with a mail address to send you ads. There's an actually public, city run wifi in some places but it's not that good
That's common to have a login portal, and isn't free public wifi. I think the video is talking about a network literally called "Free Public Wifi" though, not one that fits that description

1:33 No. WiFi is not when a router sends out a signal! It’s when an AP sends out a signal. Crappy routers sometimes have APs built in, but good ones don’t.
I remember back in Windows XP days if you manually add the wireless Network Linksys you could connect to the WIFI. Only worked if you manually added the network.
We had this show up at work which was part of a hotel. In IT we thought this was a nefarious man in the middle scam because we did not setup such an SSID.

So many of these videos keep getting made. I bought one of the first commonly available consumer WiFi cards and set up an AdHoc network at Trent U in the early 2000s. Wanting to share the Trent LAN with anyone who wanted to use WiFi back in the day, I set up an AdHoc network named "Free Public WiFi" on my Win98 laptop. Well, lo and behold a few years later I saw that exact same WiFi Adhoc network hosted by someone else, and then at an airport, and then... you get the idea. I have no idea if I actually originated this, but I think I might have started at least one node of it.
I love how Sam makes so many obscure jokes per second that only a fraction of his audience are familiar enough with to catch on. I believe he intentionally uses juxtaposition, so that the audience can discover jokes that he wasn't actually aware of while producing it.

Hello Fresh or other delivered food uses too much packaging - environmentally not good. All this packaging for just one meal. Better to shop in grocers for one week and make food by following recipes.
The packaging is recycled, and is recyclable. The food you get from the grocery store is also usually packaged in some way. A study by the University of Michigan found that Hello Fresh is more environmentally friendly than the going to the grocery store as it significantly reduces food waste.
@@passingthorough7667 That study is pretty old and concluded the "improvement" attributed to food waste, and less on transportation and negative on plastic waste. Food waste is a solvable issue both at production and consumption ends. I also looked at relevant food waste studies - those figures were for the entire food industry, and less of it by user throwing away food at home. Also, I spend a chunk of work time looking at "recyclng" for broad spectrum of things, and the sad story is American's recycle is not factual, it's only for "feel good"... once collected, we don't really recycle/reuse the material, and therefore packaging disposal is a huge issue. In addition, the study attribute "last-mile" logistics as also a key why meal kit does better but that's no longer the case. With COVID, home grocery delivery has grown and "last-mile" advantage of meal kit is no longer there...

Lol, I remember waiting at airports and always failing to connect to anything through "Free Public Wifi" several times, to the point I gave up even trying no matter if I saw it or not.
Hah, I've been using "Free Public WiFi" as my SSID for years, poking fun at this bug, but that's in hostapd on Linux using a TP-Link WiFi card in AP mode.
It's worth noting that having a non-visible Wifi network that doesn't broadcast it's SSID is LESS SECURE than visible wifi networks. It just pains a target on your back. With the proper tools, it's easy to detect wifi networks that don't broadcast an SSID, and hiding it just makes the bad guys curious and invites a challenge.
Uh, wut? Yes, it's still WiFi. "WiFi" does not indicate anything about the structure of the network, nor the presence of an internet gateway. An ad-hoc wireless LAN using a WiFi radio is still WiFi. Please stop perpetuating the myth that "WiFi means internet." It's just wrong and unhelpful. Also, "Free public wifi" is an obvious troll job.
@@funnyman4744 Incorrect. You use wifi to wirelessly connect to a printer, my Amazon remote connects via wifi. You on the internet is one of the idiots we are talking about using the term incorrectly. Go cry to your friends about that.
Fun fact: The German name for WiFi is "WLAN", and it is an actual acronym that stands for "Wireless Local Area Network". I think that's neat since it has an actual meaning, but most people also know the international name. Also funny that we Germans have many English sounding names for things that have an actual English name (but a different one of course). For example: * Beamer (DE) -> projector (EN) * WLAN (DE) -> WiFi (EN) * Handy (DE) -> mobile phone/smartphone (EN) Who needs German names when you can have special English names that only Germans understand :) Also fun fact: Connecting a few computers together via LAN or WiFi can make sense even if none of the computers is connected to the Internet, since you can run (for example) a game server on one of them, and then play together or against each other. This was the normal way to have multiplayer matches when a lot of people did not yet have Internet at home, and it was a lot of fun. We called it "LAN-Party" (another typical German name), and back in the day, we used an actual LAN based on network cables, since WiFi was not mainstream yet. At first, we used Ethernet over coax cables (which was not very reliable, but quite cheap), later we used normal Ethernet patch cables and switches, which was much more reliable and faster, but more expensive. Another benefit was that you could share files between the computers quickly and without anyone outside the LAN being able to track anything. So yes, after the LAN parties, most hard disks where full. The popular drink of all LAN parties was Red Bull, so some LAN parties where even sponsored by them, which was really nice.
This is new to me too and I went to college for this sort of stuff... not that my knowledge is rusty or anything? -it certainly is- But damn, your transitions from the video topic into your personal life and then into an ad are as slick as an F-22 coming in to blow my wallet out of the sky with its ADRAAMs.(haha, it's a pun: AMRAAM, an air-to-air missile, and ad, for advertisement, get it?

Ahhh the good old days when it was more common to see an unlocked wifi than a locked one because people either didn't know, didn't care, or knew that most people who could afford the cards probably had their own network.
I remember back in the day when unprotected networks called "linksys" were everywhere. Free public wifi, and only at the cost of a bunch of individual homeowners internet plans.

Also funny that we Germans have many English sounding names for things that have an actual English name (but a different one of course).
For example:
* Beamer (DE) -> projector (EN)
* WLAN (DE) -> WiFi (EN)
* Handy (DE) -> mobile phone/smartphone (EN)
Who needs German names when you can have special English names that only Germans understand :)
Also fun fact: Connecting a few computers together via LAN or WiFi can make sense even if none of the computers is connected to the Internet, since you can run (for example) a game server on one of them, and then play together or against each other. This was the normal way to have multiplayer matches when a lot of people did not yet have Internet at home, and it was a lot of fun. We called it "LAN-Party" (another typical German name), and back in the day, we used an actual LAN based on network cables, since WiFi was not mainstream yet. At first, we used Ethernet over coax cables (which was not very reliable, but quite cheap), later we used normal Ethernet patch cables and switches, which was much more reliable and faster, but more expensive. Another benefit was that you could share files between the computers quickly and without anyone outside the LAN being able to track anything. So yes, after the LAN parties, most hard disks where full. The popular drink of all LAN parties was Red Bull, so some LAN parties where even sponsored by them, which was really nice.
Would be interesting to know how many people watch this video and wonder what a VHS is.
4:45
That close up shot of that bug scared the heck outta me 😨
The thumbnail says “That’s what she SSID” and that is hilarious
"...networks that did not work." woulda made a far more snappy title.
Kinda surprised the sponsor WASN"T a VPN service
0:04 Sequels*
Star wars prequels are vastly underrated
For once, I’m mad that he _didn’t_ get a VPN sponsorship for his video.
😅 Thx for sharing something that I never knew about or probably will never see
That father remark hit me pretty hard.
In Germany we don't say WiFi we say WLAN all the time, wich is funny because it is also an English abbreviation
This is new to me too and I went to college for this sort of stuff... not that my knowledge is rusty or anything? -it certainly is-
But damn, your transitions from the video topic into your personal life and then into an ad are as slick as an F-22 coming in to blow my wallet out of the sky with its ADRAAMs.(haha, it's a pun: AMRAAM, an air-to-air missile, and ad, for advertisement, get it? XD)
Yes, the announcement of the sequels followed by the release of info on them, and then the movies themselves
Waluigi isn't even related to mario, wario and luigi, he just kinda showed up for tennis one time
This is easily one of the best channels that pop up in my feed.
oh yeah, the free public Wi-Fi.. so many horrible memories ...
Ahhh the good old days when it was more common to see an unlocked wifi than a locked one because people either didn't know, didn't care, or knew that most people who could afford the cards probably had their own network.
jokes on you i update regularly
