Today, we finally got wireless Internet. My mom won't let us open any doors or windows in fear that it might "let the Internet out". It's 103 degrees in here. FML

Today, I left the windows open because I live in Florida without air conditioning because the asshole landlord won't fix it. There was nice cool air from the rain. I've killed about 100 flying ants that have made their way inside. Now I have a hot house with closed windows and flying ants. FML

Southern states be like

Today, as I have my entire life, I live in the south. However, our AC decided to break and now it's 91 degrees inside the house, even with fans on and the windows open. FML

Deal with it

Today, in the middle of this heatwave, my mom has a fan in her bedroom and her precious dog has two fans pointing at her dog bed, which she apparently needs because she could overheat, poor thing. Meanwhile, I have zero fans in my room and can't sleep from the heat, but I get told to just deal with it. FML

Today, my mom made me go shopping with her. It was freezing out, but she didn't wear a coat, boasting that she doesn't feel the chill like I do. By the time we drove home she was whining about freezing to death, and now I'm stuck in a house whose heating is set to "inferno". FML

Today, I returned home to find out that my new and very expensive computer had overheated. I confronted my mom, and she told me that she had covered up the fan because she didn't like the noise. FML

Today, my dad got a warning from our ISP for going well over their fair usage limit. I barely use our wifi, and I keep telling him he should password-protect our router to stop people leeching our Internet. He's blaming me anyway, and says I'm grounded until January. FML

Today, the company I work for decided to "go green" and stopped using the air conditioner to cool down the office. It is currently 81 degrees at my desk. FML

Working conditions

By Anonymous - 10/02/2023 16:00 - Australia

Today, I'm sitting in a disgustingly hot office with all the windows thrown open. There is no fan, and the owner won't let us use the air conditioner. The smell of mold permeates the room from the ceiling, giving me headaches by the end of the day. The owner refuses to get someone in to clean it. I can't quit. FML

Tell her that it doesn't matter. It goes through the walls anyway.

or better yet, build a wall, set it on fire, and tell her the firewall will protect you internet's security

you could add a password or better for security disable the ssid which can be done by connecting to your wireless router, better name it something you can remember so you can connect to it still while running wifi.

Disabling SSID broadcast doesn't actually help security, as someone can sniff the information easily anyway, and also any device that is set up to connect to a non-broadcast SSID will itself broadcast that SSID (along with login info) any time it is searching for a connection (and will leak that info when you are out of range of your own wireless router). Better to leave it broadcasting, and enable the built-in security (WPA2 > WPA > WEP), use a strong password, and change the SSID to something uncommon (as using a common SSID also allows the bad guys to use shortcuts when cracking it). And either way, if someone wants in and has the knowledge, you aren't stopping them with consumer grade security.
