Ah the humble service set identifier! It seems to have grown from a simple way for access points to identify themselves to potential clients to a little public bulletin board for airing one’s grievances toward noisy neighbors or showcasing one’s wit.
What notable SSIDs have you run into out in the wild or created yourself?
Great story inbound!
Named my router FBI Surveillance Van #3 back in 2015 or so. Thought nothing of it.
Next door neighbor told me the weed dealer at the end of the block was losing his mind, asking if neighbor had seen the van on his wi-fi! Best part, the weed man was just far enough away for the signal to fade in and out, like a roving vehicle. No one ever told him. 😆
EDIT: Long as I’m doing dumb tech stories…
Printed one of those “voice activated printer” signs for the company printer. Figured someone would have a giggle. Walking by, I caught my co-worker yelling, “PRINT! PRINT! Damn you! PRINT!” and giving the printer the evil eye. She was not amused. At all.
