No more crap wifi
I recently bought a MacBook Air for typing, blogging surfing and some light Photoshop and Lightroom work. I liked the idea that you could throw it in your bag without a charger and just use it wherever. The problem with this? Crap cafe wifi.
From passwords, to login forms wanting everything including your inside leg measurement, to slow connections or ones that want you to pay £5 for an hour. At least 50% are shit. Having ended up on one of these crap connections I suddenly wondered if I could just use tethering on my phone. In iOS6 you can share a connection via Bluetooth which is incredible and no extra fees from O2. The first thing is obviously to turn off Dropbox and Backblaze which would chew through the data. But it’s surprisingly fast and usable. So unless the wifi is free, no logon and fast I’m just going to resort to this in future.
