gollark: Er, can you rotate it so I can read it?
gollark: Not all of them support that, and probably not all devices do.
gollark: It is kind of annoying that because of weird radio spectrum licensing, WiFi and whatnot suffer bad interference issues because of being limited to a set of small overcrowded bands.
