FML. My apartment management just showed up to install the new internet package, which sounded pretty good (Symmetrical Gbit). Dude comes in to set it up and is trying to install a wifi access point behind my couch. I told him I don't need an access point because I have my own mesh network, I just need to connect the new modem to my network rack. He starts trying to explain that the internet doesn't require a modem, so I'm like confused af.

After like 10 minutes of trying to figure out wtf this guy is talking about, I realized they've installed an apartment complex wide wifi mesh network, so there is no individual internet packages anymore. Everyone in the entire apartment complex is just connected to one big wifi network. They claim all the users are segmented by VLAN, but I genuinely don't think I've ever wanted something less in my life.

@jerry @malwaretech Did you mean: What will possibly go wrong?

I mean, there are ton of ways to make them rethink their decision. I don't know where to start...

@malwaretech Did you try saying "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!"

@malwaretech What are you going to do? That’s a deal breaker, imo.
