Pretty funny! I loved the painted-on wall outlet.
I think if it were my shop I’d wire a timer up to the wi-fi router, so it reboots ever 15 minutes or so. You get free wi-fi, but it’s crappy wi-fi...
But just like the internet and Obamacare....it’s freeeeeeeee!
Panera Breads in Los Angeles is a haven for screenwriters with their accompanying laptops, but Panera turns off Wi-Fi during the lunch rush, I think from about 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. I don't believe they post this warning, though.
Not bad. Too inconvenient for moochers, but adequate for checking email or some short term need. By doing that instead of rebooting, you don't aggravate the guy who logged on 30 seconds before reboot. I think instead of having the router reboot, I'd just give out 15 minute leases per MAC, and they expire after 15 minutes, and that particular MAC can't get a new lease for 5 minutes or something. Workable for someone who has a momentary need, discourages the sit-all-day moochers, and not unreasonably painful for a paying customer whose short-term task takes 16 minutes instead of 15.
