I used to troll my roommate: I have a Multi-Band wireless access point, and I would name other networks stuff to mess with them. They are from Louisiana, and are very proud of their culinary roots. One day, they came back from a trip with the relatives, and brought home some boudin, which I cooked and served with rice. I thought it was sausage, but it's a blend of pork cooked down with onions, peppers, seasonings, AND cooked rice, so serving it with rice was redundant, apparently. They got SO ANGRY, that to this day, I am not allowed to eat it in front of them, so I have been trolling them for "boudin with rice" everywhere I can. When they still lived with me, I changed the "ancillary network names" shit like, "Boudin with rice," and "Mild crawfish with ketchup," and "Campbell's New England Gumbo" and a ton of other culinary "bastardizations" of authentic Louisiana cooking. So every time they were on their laptop, I'd hear a "... Boudin corn dog--OH MY GOD PUNKIE YOU BASTARD!!! AAUGH!!!"
There's one in my building called ]Tower-COVID19[/invisible]
The dangling right bracket at the beginning makes it so much funnier to me. It's like someone fucked up some sort of SSID markup language and gave away the conspiracy.
There's one near me with a split SSID called, VM2.4ghz and VM5ghz-not5g
I'm pretty sure it's my elderly neighbors, and I am pretty sure their kids got sick of explaining that five gigahertz and 5G are not the same thing, and neither cause covid.
I mean, come on, everyone can hear everything if you live in a building, that's normal... people have fights, they have sex, they have parties, they have kids... it's normal stuff, I really don't get what the big deal is.
But, I've lived in buildings my entired life and maybe I've gotten numb to these things... I mean, I hear them all the time, but it really doesn't bother me, I just ignore it. Hell, I even lived in a separate room shared household for about a year. I could litelarly hear everyone's converstaions... never bothered me, it was just noise.
Just around the time of the 2016 election my elderly neighbor was a Trumper. He asked for some help with his WiFi and I told him that I would fix if it I could name it. He didn’t really know what that meant but I got it working and to this day his WiFi broadcast is “Hillary2016”. I think he’s still pissed but no longer my neighbor although I do smile when I drive past the old place. If his children still spoke to him I’m sure they could help change it.
I was on skype with a friend many years back, and he had technical support from said company on speakerphone. When the rep calmly said that I had to walk out of the room for a bit.
My home one is Chipolte Guest, there are no chipoltes within 10 miles. My travel router is Starbucks Guest for when I stay in hotels. I wonder how many people try to connect to it lol.
I used to call my mobile hotspot virus.exe to prevent strangers trying to connect. Do the same with bluetooth devices that broadcast (like my tv). Neighbors stopped trying to connect after it was called virus.exe
To be brief, what I mean by extended has to do with updated Unicode standards. With newer standards they extend the amount of emoji characters that Unicode is able to interpret.
There are different versions of the unicode standard that covers the keyboard characters that interpret a pictograph emoji and other text. Older installed Unicode standards don’t cover the newer library of emojis available.
When I attempted to do this to my own router there were few emojis that the Unicode on connecting devices could interpret. Cellphones were good at showing the emoji characters, literally any you could think of because they have extended more current version of Unicode standard that has hundreds of emojis. Some devices, oddly, like some Windows OS would not show or interpret all the most current emojis.
There were drawbacks to this: some hardware does not interpret the unicode to emoji and you get a string of nonsense for a wifi ssid; like a roku or chromecast. Makes it difficult to connect to your wifi and sometimes impossible depending on the device.
I used to have my SSID set to Tibetan characters, and interestingly, all of my devices could render it fine, but my Android phone refused to connect. Underneath all the UI layers, wpa_supplicant just couldn't. Changing it to Latin script, and the phone worked fine.
I've seen a lot of "Free Wifi" networks that are open to the public with bad encryption. Most likely set up by people who want to spy on where people go and steal their cookies.
FreePorn. Wasn't very creative since it was kind of on the spot. Found a resident with an unsecured Linksys router, so I secured it for them. This was almost 20 years ago so you rarely see them open like that these days.
I remember, in my student flat, my computer gave me this long list of default Wi-Fi names, like u2e98zmq9qzh and whatnot. And in the midst of this random generated nonsense, shone one legible name upon my face: “Clarence sucks dick”
I still wonder if Clarence actually did suck dick, and why this person would name their Wi-Fi that either way.
"Hot Singles"
I once saw a network that was named "that's what she ssid"
It Herz when IP has always been my fav

As a Star Wars nerd, I've always liked Obi-WAN Kenobi and LANdo Calrissian.

I've used a similar one before.

Well, NetMan is an abhorrent piece of shit anyway. It's so bad, I'm sure Lennart wrote parts.
Bill Wi the Science Fi
When I was in college I lived in a off campus student housing area and they had the the most passive aggressive wifi names.
"WeHearUJackOff"
"StillHearUCryingWithShowerOn"
"WhoCooksOnionsAt4AM"
"PleaseTakeAShower"
"UrDogGotTheShitsAgain"
It wasn't just one wifi. It was like three SSID's all arguing to each other. They began responding to each other by changing their names also lol.
That would frustrate me lol having to reconnect everytime it changes
Not actually a word.
It could be an adjective, technically.
Changing my password whenever the router changed its name was an everytime occurrence.
Kind of a silly usage though

I had 5G-Covid-Transmission-Tower or something close to that.
We Can Hear You Having Sex
We didn't rent an apartment in that building after noticing that one. I figure the walls must be thin.
Maybe that was the play, drive everyone out of the building so they can have sex in peace.
Which piece?
Corrected 🫡.
Or they were just messing with people. Assuming some who do have sex would read it and think it's about the.
I've also seen, "We can hear you arguing"
I mean, come on, everyone can hear everything if you live in a building, that's normal... people have fights, they have sex, they have parties, they have kids... it's normal stuff, I really don't get what the big deal is.
That wasn't my point. But, it's also annoying when the same neighbours make tons of noise nonstop.
Agreed.

It still didn’t stop free loaders….but in their defense, there were no viruses. 👀🐐
Aren't you supposed to set a password on your mobile hotspot so strangers dont connect?

It was all emoji. No text, which interestingly, can be done, just not with the extended emoji characters.
