📰 News we're reading

• Optimizing your home Wi-Fi; Answering questions about Wisconsin's weather and climate (wpr.org) — A Wisconsin Public Radio tech-and-weather call‑in show briefly highlights a Johnson Creek area resident frustrated by weak cell service after a carrier change, despite being close to several nearby towns. Most of the program focuses on broader topics like home Wi‑Fi setups, AI safety, statewide tornado warnings, wildfire smoke, and how climate change is affecting Wisconsin’s humidity, storms, and winters. While not Johnson Creek–specific, it offers useful context on connectivity and severe weather that local residents are experiencing too.
