Comment on Taliban leader bans Wi-Fi in an Afghan province to 'prevent immorality'

How can the AP make such a basic mistake as calling Internet access ‘Wi-Fi’?
The Taliban didn’t ban Wi-Fi, they banned fiber optic internet connections. People can run Wi-Fi networks all day.

I’ve also noticed it’s becoming more common to call desktop PCs laptops, interesting linguistic shift

The fuck…? Seriously? That’s like calling a faucet a water bottle.

Mom, can we get water bottles at home?
No, we already have water bottles at home.

Haven’t noticed that. It’s dead obvious that desktop PCs aren’t mobile at all, and mobility is what makes laptops laptops.

The wifi thing I’ve heard mothbreathers start to do.
