The finance and insurance sectors of the economy have the power to make a significant difference. Without funding or insurance, fossil fuel companies cannot continue to operate or expand. Banks and insurance companies have clients other than fossil fuel extractors, they can continue to exist without this custom and so our demands aren’t unreasonable.
Banks and insurers have responded to campaigners’ demands by taking the tiniest of steps, however there is a serious discrepancy between what they are doing and what they must do in order to prevent catastrophic levels of global warming.
Now we are escalating to demonstrate that we – the public – will not accept this institutional and corporate support for climate breakdown.
Ahem 🤓👆They still have wifi, there is just no internet connection.
That depends a fair bit on how corporate networks are set up. It’s very easy to have a central authentication server that the base station can’t reach anymore, so nobody can connect to the corporate wifi.
But the AP is still broadcasting so the WiFi never left it just won’t provide data. Previous post is poking fun at bad journalism and oversimplifying the facts of the story. They cut data lines.
Yeah, and that’s a very effective way to disable most offices that depend on communication with customers. Impact is very much the same.
Not if it’s PoE.
There is no such thing as Fiber PoE
Ah, I missed that. My statement would only hold true if someone specifically cut the Ethernet cable between the AP and whatever was supplying PoE.
I hope big banks can at least manage to have redundant networking between their sites if they are set up like that.
Now their wireless connection is truly wireless.
I was gonna say that dropping internet to some branch office makes no difference for oil but loyds of london. ok yeah I can see that.
I was not aware of the existence of Shut the System and I like their approach, so I find it’s great you included their link to your post @[email protected]
