674: A Reliable, Boring Partner

Gentlemen, I gotta tell you, Ubiquity giveth and Ubiquity taketh away. Oh, no. What happened? So we're doing a very abridged birthday trip for Mikayla. She turned eight on Sunday, which is impossible, but here we are. And, we're we're going out of town for a couple of nights over the weekend. And I did the thing that I love to do when we go out of town, which is I go to one of the local libraries and I borrow a hotspot. And as I've said many times on the show, our actual library, offers T Mobile hotspots that you can borrow. And a neighboring county, which is like a little under half an hour drive from me, offers Verizon hotspots. And these counties have reciprocity with each other for library cards and things like that. And so if I have the time and the inclination, I'll usually go to the further away county to get the Verizon hotspot. And I did that, and Erin went with me a couple of days ago. We got her library card at the other library, so now I can, like, stage two different hotspots on hold, like, ready and waiting to go. I'm very excited about this. This is this is what makes me happy, right, especially around football season, because I use these hotspots, you know, to get inner Internet to the TV and whatnot when we're tailgating. Anyways, I get home and, I have the opportunity I guess this was yesterday. And I have the opportunity to try out the hotspot with my shiny new Ubiquiti travel router that I'm so excited about. Right? And this travel router has worked no sweat with, tethering to my phone. It has worked no sweat tethering to my iPad. All has been good so far. And I connect it to the Verizon hotspot, and it says, can you please plug in the Internet? I did. I did plug in the Internet. Now, admittedly, this was while Verizon was dying. So I thought, oh, perhaps that's the problem. But it turns out, I tried again today after Verizon rose from the dead, and it still is asking, please connect the Internet. So I was so excited to have my sweet new Ubiquiti Travel Router to bring with me, and I still will, and it still works, and it can still rebroadcast the hotspot's Wi Fi. But I was connecting it via USB c, which I prefer for a bunch of unimportant reasons, and it didn't freaking work, and I'm having a say it. Does it have an Ethernet jack on the hotspot or no? Not on the hotspot, unfortunately. There are hotspots where this exists. In fact, you might might have or did I have one. If I remember. Okay. Yeah. There there you go. This is a Verizon Jetpack, I think. I don't remember the remember the model number. But it's actually not a bad hotspot. It has USB c on it in …
