The article said that it handles drops of internet connections fine.

>sharing a 10Mbps link

You aren't streaming a video.

>They've got an overly-aggressive firewall on the guest network, so Figma isn't loading

Figma is an industry standard tool. It would be unlikely to be blocked.

>and your provider decided to temporarily block your 5G tethering due to "misuse"

You can probably present directly from your phone in this case.

>Guess Figma is having an outage, better tell the hundreds of journalists to come back tomorrow!

Sometimes I read comments and wonder how someone could be so divorced from reality.
> The article said that it handles drops of internet connections fine.

I ... don't think it does? It states the exact opposite at least twice:

> Just because you have a presentation open and loaded, doesn’t mean you can present it. If you are offline when you actually click Present, it will barf.

> Once you are presenting, you can click to “download” the presentation to be available offline – but be careful not to close the tab or it will undownload!
