She has a point about blaming the parents. I mean, who is going to let their child sleep over with a weird guy who wants children to sleep over with him? Even if he is rich.

Just get one of the wifi scanning apps (maybe android/windows only?) to show the channels/power levels of other active signals and change your own router to the least active channel.   Normally your router should do that by itself, and in the 5Ghz range there’s enough space to make conflicts less likely.

How about just not trashing the room in the first place?

So this is only OK for real athletes, not fake ones?  

My Brother laser printer started out dropping wifi when it went to ‘deep sleep’ which defaulted to 15 seconds of inactivity and needed a power on/off to reconnect. Took both a firmware update and fiddling in the setup menus to make it stay online.  Found a bunch of similar cases when looking for the fix.

I don’t see a real answer to the question in the headline. My Brother laser docs mentioned that it only had 2.4Ghz and ‘may’ not connect to devices on other bands. Does that mean all you need is a dual-band router to make airprint, etc. work regardless of how the other device connects? (Everything does in fact seem…

What is this ‘theater’ place you speak of?

Wait, you mean you are supposed to turn computers off?

The temp didn’t do the arrest, though.  Someone should have figured things out before that happened.

I thought schools couldn’t force people to stand anymore. I remember back in grade school when we were forced to do it thinking that it must have been just like the way the Hitler youth were indoctrinated with nationalistic propaganda.

There is something called ‘gel gloss’ that you can find with household cleaning products that I’ve always thought was the same as car wax.

CLR is the usual household cleaner for hard water type stains.

My contacts and calendar seem to stay synced when set up as a google account. However, I have a different issue - I use the gmail app for email and leave the ios mail up unconfigured. But, another app has a ‘support’ function that sends email to their support team and it won’t work. If I configure the ios app with my…

Can you make siri or google assistant create a properly ordered list?

My Netflix account kept forcing me to change my password and showing users in Ireland and Mexico that kept coming back no matter how many times I hit the disconnect option and made up new passwords.   I finally gave up and closed the account and opened a new one in my wife’s name and it hasn’t happened since.    Is…

Yeah my first thought in going to a restaurant is always about how I can make the most money for them...

It will boil down to a matter of price.  When 8K TVs are priced affordably, people will buy them for the same reason they are buying 4k now.  The pictures will look better, not entirely due to the extra pixels.  They will come with better video processing chips, more contrast, and closer to the full hdr brightness…

How many times has something been called ‘future-proof’ even though it was not?

So the produce growers don’t have to put the porta-potties out this week?

I grew up on a farm where we’d plan to spend most of a day driving into town and getting everything we need for a month or so. So, remind me how it is a hardship to order what you need a few days early and then sit on your butt waiting for it arrive...
