upset at the comments like this calling out this post as “wrong” just because it doesn’t cover absolutely every historical nuance
she invented FHSS. FHSS was used in early versions of WiFi. sounds an awful lot like she gave birth to a fucken central component to the development of wifi and yall just love to nitpick the achievements of women.
It was hardly ever used in WiFi. Two modulation schemes were available in the original WiFi spec, FHSS and DSSS. DSSS was always preferred over FHSS and in practice FHSS was hardly used and eventually obsoleted a decade ago. It was never “the basis” of WiFi as claimed in the meme - that’s simply incorrect.
Don’t get me wrong. FHSS is cool and it’s a great achievement. It just has basically no bearing on WiFi and absolutely no relationship to GPS.
you did put a false quote in your top comment tho. thats my main issue: “invented bluetooth/wifi” was nowhere in the original post. that’s a straw position you constructed yourself then took down easily because obviously it’s not true.

Fair enough. I’ll fix that.
