Wi-Fi does not stand for "wireless fidelity" (a meaningless phrase). According to Phil Belanger, a founding member of the Wi-Fi Alliance: "Wi-Fi doesn't stand for anything. It is not an acronym. There is no meaning." The name was made up by a marketing firm. https://boingboing.net/2005/11/08/wifi-isnt-short-for.html

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1725653853956194765
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
