    They should denounce all the weapons from the US. Obviously, those are haram, and against the religion.

    Does this fellow have stock (ownership?) in local DSL providers? Or perhaps even dialup (I am assuming dialup is still a thing in parts of the country)?

      Fun (sad?) fact: AOL will soon shut down dial up on September 30th 2025: https://help.aol.com/articles/dial-up-internet-to-be-discontinued

    How can the AP make such a basic mistake as calling Internet access ‘Wi-Fi’?

    The Taliban didn’t ban Wi-Fi, they banned fiber optic internet connections. People can run Wi-Fi networks all day.

      Because almost everyone else in the world has begun referring to their entire internet connection as “Wi-Fi” and it pisses me off, too.
