that first network name is simply an anagram of the third one...

I commend the writers of this article for not saying this “bricked” the devices. It’s maddening when people refer to fixable issues as bricking.

*Sigh*, I name all my router wifi networks after after C language printf statements. The “%p%s%s%s%s%n” was one of my all time favorites. Whatever shall I do? The “%d\n” is soooooo pedestrian. The curse of the ghost of Steve Jobs strikes again!
