Not many understand what Wi-Fi stands for

submitted by Conspirologist to technology 16 hoursJun 19, 2025 07:54:28 ago (+4/-3)     (technology)

Interesting fact.

Wi-Fi stands for Wireless Fidelity for IT. Like Hi-Fi stands for High Fidelity for audio electronics.

Most of people working in tech industry have no clue what Wi-Fi means.

This alone should warn people to not trust Big Tech, like Big Pharma, because they lack the necessary IQ to understand simple, obvious things.

I've been adamantly avoiding that nonsense phrase, calling it either wireless or WLAN!

Other awful tech terms are like:

Bandwidth

Should be "bit rate", "data rate" or "data limit" as opposed to the actual frequency domain span of oscillations over a physical layer.

Screen resolution

Should be "pixel dimension", otherwise it means the smallest distance 1 pixel represents.

Zero-day

Should be "novel vulnerability" unless it was actually known on release day and not some later day.
