The man said they discovered that their parents’ coffee maker had generated far more traffic than they expected.

    The title of that text makes no sense.

    • Data can’t be used up, only stored, transmitted, read, written etc.
    • No transmission allotment from an ISP was used up either, as the traffic was sent locally.

      I think they’re confusing it with capped cellular data usage

        Yeah there are such limits sometimes, but they write that it didn’t leave the house network, so they knew better when they made the title… I don’t know just seems like clickbait.
