If someone tells me their wifi password is still the default password, I automatically think less of them
This is why I change mine to something difficult to comprehend yet still legible.
Something like:
“FOURWORDSALLLOWERCASE”, one word, all uppercase.
My man here is four parallel universes ahead of the hackers
AI will never crack that one
My trick is to change it to something that I immediately forget then if I need to modify any settings I can do a factory reset to get back in. Works every time
I SAID IT’S FOURWORDSALLLOWERCASE BUT THEY’RE CAPITALIZED DUMBASS!
Ooh I mixed it up with the other one which is “My_name_in_camel_casE”

as a satilite software engineer. your just an asshole. smart and better protected, but thinking less of people due to something so silly makes you asshole.

Sounds like SOMEone is still using the default wi-fi password.
you would be wrong
It’s one of those things that makes life for you and anyone using your wifi way easier and all it takes is 30s and a Google search if you aren’t the most tech literate. It’s like not putting your cart away at the grocery store, it’s not a big thing but it’s annoying and impolite.
We live in a world where people get to Facebook by Googling Facebook. You expect way too much of people.
Since manufacturers are getting more pushed into getting rid of default passwords and including random generated ones this is thankfully getting less and less of an issue.

Take a deep breath and look for the text that follows “password:” Self defeat is sell fufilling! Think of it as ASCII wheres Wally.
Do you mean Waldo?
Pretty sure they say wally in England/Australia.
That or I’m an idiot, that could be it too
I have a friend in Iceland who has spent several years teaching himself to read cuneiform for fun.
Also, people from Iceland are fucking weird.
And make it a QR code. Sheesh.
So convenient for my steam deck!
“UsethisQRcodeforthedefaultpassword” My new password, thx.
I hope you had their permission before putting their password out there where anyone could read it.
I don’t think I could ever go back to an off the shelf router anymore. Years ago I set up a pc with pfsense, hooked that up to a switch for my wired devices plus one to the wireless access point I bought from ubiquiti. Almost zero issues after setting it up, plus it’s much more flexible in that if my wireless dies, my wired devices still work. Or a component in the PC dies, I can just replace the part instead of the whole router. Takes some networking knowledge but really nothing you can’t learn from googling.
Thankfully I know people who read cuneiform and can tell me what the Unicode to enter is
See it’s not hard https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuneiform_(Unicode_block)?wprov=sfti1

Cuneiform! Oldest writing system known, I love it
I get the point of the meme, but can I just say I hate routers that give you a default password other than admin or password. Like I get the point of it is to prevent the device from being insecure when the user doesn’t put a password on it. However after a while the back of the router becomes basically unreadable and when you go online and search default admin password for x and their support page says that the password is different per router it’s a little ridiculous. It is a much better approach to just force the password to be changed when you do the initial setup that way you can forget the admin password and factory reset it and still be able to access it where with current day routers if you reset it and you don’t have that little piece of plastic on the back that says the admin password you’re more or less SOL
Where do you keep your router? Lol my oldest router is still clearly legible
Mines behind our printer, it gets covered in dust and the adhesive on the sticker is starting to fail lol, thankfully it’s not one that does that though so I’m not too worried.
