recently dealt with an issue at my parents house where whenever they connected the TV to the wifi, half the devices in the house would lose connection. turns out there was an instability in the Comcast router firmware and whenever the TV would connect it would crash everything else on the 2.4ghz frequency.

solution was to replace the router with one they owned instead of whatever crap they were leasing from Comcast.

right!! I came across this article at some point a year or two back, and it’s kinda lived rent free in my head since then lmao

it’s also just a reaction to sexually transmitted epidemics, interestingly enough.
