Time to teach home-routers WPA Enterprise auth? Then at least you know whom to blame :-) and just one user to disconnect instead of everybody who previously had the key. Well, but if "friends" were to share your wifi-key through other ways the end-result would be the same. Just hand your key to "clueful" people. I think the point here is that we might assume people have a lot of good friends who don't know what they are doing (have things like this enabled by default)? Hmm ... yeah might be :-( Kind regards, Stefan Am 06.07.2015 um 20:29 schrieb Daniel C. Eckert:
This isn't really an open source issue -- anybody can make foolish product design decisions regardless of licensing model. This is more about a vendor producing a feature that deliberately and shortsightedly creates a slew of problems impacting almost all existing networks anywhere. It's highly convenient feature for a specific, limited use case (home users hosting a party with a bunch of people that they don't want to have to worry about how to give them a network password). However, gat ignores all of the other security and user impact issues. Can you imagine how the user experience will change when you change your SSID to include the _optout tag and then try to verbally tell someone what the new SSID is? Bonus points for dealing with users in a context where you've had the same SSID for years. On Jul 6, 2015 11:17 AM, "Richard Golodner" <rgolodner@infratection.com> wrote:
There is a reason why my family loves open source. My kid is learning Linux and she doesn't even know it. Mommy has an Android...

From Lauren, a new "feature" in Windows 10 I think this community probably wants to know about, to the extent you don't already.
I *knew* I didn't like W10. :-)
