For me it’s the paranoia surrounding webcams. People outright refuse to own one and I understand, until they go on and on about how they’re being spied. Here’s the secret - unplug the damn thing when you think you won’t use it or haven’t used it in a while.

They, whoever it is, can’t really spy on you on something that’s already off and unplugged!

    The fuck is “Ethernet over WiFi”. Isn’t ethernet by definition wired? If it’s x over WiFi, isn’t that just WiFi with extra steps?

     


    Edit: I see from other comments they mean “preferable compared to”, not “used atop of”.

        Yeah, I saw that after seeing the other comments. I just didn’t refresh the page to see your comment until after I typed up my edit. Lol, sorry.

      Ethernet over WiFi is WiFi. Ethernet is a protocol not the cables and its used with wired networks and WiFi.

          It appears I either misunderstood or misremembered what I read.

          It probably referred to MAC addresses being reused on WiFi. However the frames used are not Ethernet frames.

          Ethernet however is not restricted to twisted pair cat cables it’s on fiber and originally was on co-axial.

            I was only referring to wired vs wireless. The type of wire is kind of irrelevant. Fiber, co-axial, whatever. :)
