    Thank you, I had almost forgotten that you can’t make a comment on the Internet without someone misunderstanding even basic assumptions. Like in this case, a picture exclusively showing usb-c, could be assumed that a comment about it, would also be referring to usb-c.

    P.S. (I’m fully aware the last one is usb-a, the writer even makes note of it and why they included it).








  • You may want to update your OP. Not being part of the University, makes a HUGE difference and will affect your options. Typically, when people say “dorms” it’s direct University provided housing.

    Options in this case:

    1. Just play dumb, nobody expects anyone to actually read TOS.

    2. Setup a router level VPN.

    3. Buy your own hotspot for Internet access. (May be cheaper to just pay for additional devices)


  • In that case, just set up a router level VPN. The university probably doesn’t give a shit. Which is why the help desk IT kid said it’s fine, probably.

    It’s the 3rd party ISP just being greedy. The ISP may not even care as long as you’re not running an insane amount of traffic through it. Often this type of stuff is added to TOSs to allow them the option, if you’re being a bad actor.
