Fantastic modern take on Goya’s “Saturn Devouring His Son”!
If you’re not going to hook it up to the internet (bridging, access point, etc.), name it something funny or provocative for the neighbors.
For example, I live in a college student neighborhood with a lot of Chinese students. I have an old router that I’m going to use the network name 六四屠殺 which is Chinese for the June Fourth Massacre (the Tiananmen Square Massacre). It’s a term banned on the Chinese internet.
Some of us remember one of the first smartphones, the VisorPhone introduced in late 2000. Consisted of a Visor (basically a Palm Pilot knockoff by Handspring) that had a Springboard slot that you could slide a phone attachment into. I have fond memories of using it to bid on an AOL auction while driving down the highway with my ex-wife yelling at me that we were going to be killed…
Truly a product ahead of its time.
