I haven't tried wireless yet but from the comments of those that tried, it
looks like it's quite using a bit of power that reduces your autonomy a
little bit. Enough to get noticed.

foo /foo/: 1. interj. Term of disgust. 2. [very common] Used very generally
as a sample name for absolutely anything, esp. programs and files (esp.
scratch files). 3. First on the standard list of metasyntactic variables
used in syntax examples. See also bar, baz, qux, quux, corge, grault,
garply, waldo, fred, plugh, xyzzy, thud. When `foo' is used in connection
with `bar' it has generally traced to the WWII-era Army slang acronym FUBAR
(`F... Up Beyond All Repair'), later modified to foobar. Early versions of
the Jargon File interpreted this change as a post-war bowdlerization, but it
it now seems more likely that FUBAR was itself a derivative of `foo' perhaps
influenced by German `furchtbar' (terrible) - `foobar' may actually have
been the original form.
