What is this, "offline", of which you speak?!?!

You mean like wifi?

I think "offline" means mocking your ethernet driver to produce packets confabulated by a locally-running copy of ChatGPT, so you can doomscroll the internet even without needing to pay Comcast for the privilege.

nah its like WiFi but lower frequency. "sound"

That sounds like a situation ripe for modulation to increase data throughput.
