I think it is colloquial at this point. No sense being pedantic.
No, it's not, and yes being peda tix about terms is important. It's education.
I have an internal wifi network for devices that don't have internet access. I also have a wifi network that is connected to the Internet.
My wifi doesn't work..figure out what the heck is wrong.
Bro can't spell in his own semantics argument.
Blame shit phones and trash auto correct.
aChuAlly they're called smartphones, not shit phones
Go lay down.
What kinds of devices are these? Surely you must know that I'm talking about the general public's phones, laptops, and desktops—not specialized use cases.
Laptops, desktops and servers, automation hardware. My comment was more educational, not a personal attack or anything. Just wanting the correct terms to be used. ISPs have done a great job uneducating people is all.
It's like saying your electricity is out, when you mean lightbulb is broken. People would say call an electrician, when in reality you just need to address the bulb and not the entire houses electrical system.
Are you stupid? No one says thier electic is out when a bulb is out. They mean thier entire electric is out.
