The first responder wants to help, the second proposes guerilla war on the neighbors' wifi, OP thinks that would be too expensive.

Re: the tragedy of the voice operated lights

Ha! We recently had the grandkids+daughter-in-law here, adding 5 for a total of 7 people, each of which with at least 1 wifi device in addition to our 3 rokus, 2 phones, weather monitor, PS3, and Renee's laptop. I could *feel* my neoplasms growing. (Yes, that's a joke.) I can only imagine what the network would look like if our coffee machine, fridge, vehicles, furnace, door locks, light bulbs, etc. were all online.

I purposefully bought my desktop and gaming machine without a wifi card. I'm thinking about wiring the house and abandoning wifi wherever possible.

Any self-respecting geek would use it as a opportunity to get a shiny new 6 GHz system.

My neighbor didn’t like some of my wildflowers and sprayed them with Round Up. People are a little nutty.

I guess he could go full-on electronic warfare with an amplifier and a software defined radio? He seems to have a lot of free time.

I paid for college working for a land surveyor in southern Cal. People there get _really_ nutty over land boundaries.

When the Russians start to sell surpluses microwave attack devices on the black market, the first place they will show up is in California over border disputes.
