This may not be the post, but there is something I hate about wifi on airplanes. I don't fly that often but when I do I pay for wifi.

Most airlines redirects you to a website to pay for the wifi, and it seems they block all requests to different domains. Problem is, these platforms suggest to pay with Google Pay / Google Wallet, but if you try to do that, Google Pay DNS are blocked, so the request fails and you can't use your card with Google Pay. So I need to take my card from my physical wallet and type all the digits.

This is helpful, will send to my coworker. He's been trying to fix a bug that only happens during low-bandwidth conditions. (It's actually really annoying, because my cell will show it has 5G service but the service isn't good enough for poorly coded video and audio sites.)
