Hi-jacking Internet With A Pringles Can | Mr. Robot

Joanna persuades Elliot to track the phone she believes was left by Tyrell. Elliot traces the call to a nearby residence, but Mr. Sutherland thinks it won't be Tyrell based on the location.
From Mr Robot Season 2 episode 9 "2.8
Price has Colby pull political strings to allow China to annex the Congo in exchange for a financial bailout of E Corp. Cisco finds one of fsociety's members badly wounded and persuades Darlene that he needs a hospital. A witness identifies Cisco leaving Susan's house and the authorities begin to investigate if her vacation is really a disappearance. Despite Dominique's protests that the Dark Army will attack, Cisco's image is released to the media as a Five/Nine suspect. The BOLO is later seen by the hospital's ER staff, who report his location. Elliot and Angela later meet on the subway to talk. She makes him realize there are more gaps in his memory and warns him not to trust Mr. Robot. Defeated, Angela intends to confess with her lawyer, admitting her part in the FBI hack. After sharing a kiss with Elliot, she is approached by two figures. Dominique tracks Darlene and Cisco to a restaurant but, while she's inside, a Dark Army shooter opens fire on them, and she emerges from the restaurant covered in splattered blood.

You see Rami (Elliot) all over now he's become a MASSIVE star, but Carly (Darlene) hasn't had the followup success as much. I haven't seen her in anything else after Mr Robot. Also I recently found out that Rami has a fucking twin brother! They were identical up until they were 18 then starting looking a bit different. Rami even did his brothers Greek exam performance as his brother (Sami) was gunna fail lol and his teachers didn't know. To pass the class (Greek language class I think) he had to do like a Greek tragedy on stage and he nailed it lol

[@elsoudani4028]

How does that work?

[@wiger_]

@@elsoudani4028 it's an antenna, it just gets a stronger signal

[@PerthScienceClinic]

​@@elsoudani4028 The foil in the can acts as a wave guide, a bit like a telescope. Instead of the receiving being a tiny wire in the USB dongle, it's the entire mouth of the can. This gives a much larger aperture and thus, more signal. This means that a weak WiFi transceiver can be made stronger, so one out of range gets into range. In reality, it increases the signal strength by about 1 bar, not great, but it can make a difference.

About the pringle antenna, it does not work that well in real life, a bigger can works much better, like a Maxwell House coffee can, but I understand this is a TV show which I really like myself as all the hacks are legit. For DIY antenna, using a wok as parabolic reflector works best IMHO 8-)

it's not about the most optimal, it's about what works in the current situation and right there and then is what he had

[@HIGH_noon]

actually it does... because the pringles can is the optimal diameter as well as being slightly lined with aluminum foil... you dont want WIDE you want narrow to... shoot the wifi adapter antenna out and GRAB the wifi signal far away, the maxwell can is wide and wouldnt likely be as good at least imo, kinda why the pringles can is the "meme", a japanese guy figured it out after a bunch of trail and error, pringles worked WAY better then other methods he tried.
