You bounce the signal to the satellite on my roof, then there’s a cord to my
Linsky modem and I’ve got a WeeFee booster and an Earthnet splitter.
I wonder if the new iPhones with AI can translate from customerspeak to techie?
Like the Star Trek universal translator. I really have to bite my tongue when
customers misuse terms and tell myself I’m the asshole if I correct them and
that it shouldn’t bug me.
I remember the comic Pearls Before Swine had Pig showing up at a coffee shop
that had a Free WiFi sign because he wanted a Wifey.
And Comcast is running a radio ad where the dad says his daughter invited the
whole class to her birthday party and he wants to know if his WiFi can handle
it. I keep hearing it as “can my wife and I handle it”. But the Comcast rep
assures him that he’ll be fine because he has Comcast triband WiFi.

I've been seeing Amazon recommend me 'Ethernet Splitters' They appear
to just be a switch, but I'm guessing that 'Ethernet Splitter' Makes
more sense to the commoners. I guess that makes sense from a marketing
perspective. I've probably used the term splitter when describing a
switch to a customer. I usually see 1-2 or 1-4 splitters. "1KMbps
splitter" that just sounds impressive.
