Ah the humble service set identifier! It seems to have grown from a simple way for access points to identify themselves to potential clients to a little public bulletin board for airing one’s grievances toward noisy neighbors or showcasing one’s wit.

What notable SSIDs have you run into out in the wild or created yourself?

    Wi-fi is a wireless connection, hence the “wi” part, but sending wireless signals is not new - smoke signals are another option, so my network is the full name: Wireless fireless.

      I find it funny that they thought to copy “Hi-Fi” when fidelity isn’t really how 802.11 works since it has an entire digital layer, though now I kinda of miss that they dropped it lol.
