100% this. The absence of free WiFi will do shit, people still have mobile internet. Providing WiFi is just part of a good service. And what about customers who come alone for working on their laptop? It's just silly, nothing else.

i don't use this kind of wi-fi anyways because anyone can grab whatever you send through it

[–] valkyre09@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I’m glad you brought that up. Now a word from our sponsor, NordVPN…

[–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Unironically actually one of the only good use cases for VPNs aside from piracy.

Zero purpose in running a VPN at home just to log into your boomer ass Facebook anyway.

You misspelled privacy

[–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Thanks, I did :)

Not true for websites with SSL encryption, which is basically 95% of the internet.

[–] morsebipbip@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Agreed. Still i'd rather use mobile data.

Guarantee you these people found this idea on Pinterest or Facebook and decided to copy it. They probably also shared it on their own pages afterward to demonstrate to others how they don't use that pesky internet.

“We’re too cheap to have WiFi “

I'll just use my data.

Then it's nice to have this sign on an airplane.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/Mq1fPCFxGx0

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

With how ubiquitous mobile data is now, I feel like this sign was basically only relevant for a few years in the early 2010s

[–] Throwaway4669332255@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

You can do both

[–] dinguscod@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Jokes on you, I have unlimited data and a hotspot.

The internet is a passing fad.

I was told not to talk to strangers.
