I love how they randomly blame the WiFi network, like anyone is going to buy it.

Somebody said the cooking guy was some influencer person? I noticed that many non-tech people often resort to this excuse, even in situations where it makes absolutely no sense (e.g., on a desktop with only ethernet, or with mic/speakers connected via cable). It's almost like they just substitute "bad wifi" for "glitch".

		It's colloquial in the younger generations to use the term Wifi to actually refer to a WAN connection to one's home or building, regardless of Physical Layer Transport.

		I often ask clarifying questions to people, to me its part of casual conversation, not an inquisition or anything (because my own behavior would be different if it was) The vast majority of people say incoherent deflections instead of just saying “I don’t know” I’m getting better at ignoring or playing along It just happens in areas I least expect it makes me sound like a high functioning autist, but I’m not convinced

It's almost certainly a joke. Everyone knows that the demo failed.

A reference to the 2010 iPhone 4 demo perhaps: https://www.infoworld.com/article/2297843/steve-jobs-wi-fi-m...

		Its definitely a joke. They were saying it again when the WhatsApp call failed. They were being sarcastic.

Pretty sure it's a meme, like blaming the WLAN cable.

Bad idea to rely on WiFi for an important demo in a crowded environment. It would have worked fine in testing but when the crowd arrives and they all start streaming etc, they bring hundreds more devices all competing for bandwidth.

Zuck should have known better and used Ethernet for this one!
