A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

So does that means devices or people around me would be able to use my internet quota?
I do not think so.
No it usually works like this:
Once scanned, it will do whatever is necessary to connect the device to your home network.
It's a flexible system that can use a variety of network technologies... (wifi, ethernet, bluetooth, thread, ultra wideband, etc). It will pick the best one available. And switch technologies automatically if one of them becomes unavailable.
Thread has about the same range as wifi, but it uses a lot less power. It doesn't really have enough bandwidth for something like a video camera, but it's great for light bulbs, temperature sensors, etc.
