Back to tech talk - having trouble with the WiFi on my laptop. I know it's not the WiFi itself/router because every other device connected to it is fine. It's been dropping out on my laptop on and off for two weeks. Sometimes it can pick up other signals but not mine. Mostly it can't pick up any. I've tried updating the network adapter but it hasn't fixed it. I have also reset it twice today alone so your smart ass response is pre-empted.

Laptop is a Dell, about 7 years old. I'd assume it was a hardware issue but I can't work out why it sometimes can pick up the neighbours' WiFi but not the one two metres away.

Something like this might be the way to go

You’re more dedicated than I am. I would have taken it as a sign that I was destined to have the day off.

Yep. Had this problem too. HP laptop probably around the same age.

Well, it is the Winter Solstice today. At least the days will start to get longer from here.

Unfortunately my current job means taking a day off just makes me have to work twice as hard to catch up the next day. Probably a good thing I can't buy a gun easily.

Seven year old laptop?

The answer is always: new laptop

My TV is so old and crappy it can't actually pick up any channels anymore and I still refuse to replace it, why would I replace an otherwise functional laptop?

Are you on the [REDACTED] Coast [REDACTED]'s selection committee?

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

The TV has the runs on the board, if it’s available you have to use it.

Would it kill Trucko to watch the WAFL on it first is all I'm saying?

 

[Truckosaurus]

Can't get the WAFL on it, something to do with Synergy?

Pay your power bill then, tight arse.

 

[MKMatty]

Speaking of Synergy, if I hold out long enough will the premiers credits knock out my power bill?

 

[Mr Eagle]

In the same way a car with no wheels is also "otherwise functional"...

 

[Truckosaurus]

Oh so now you want me to get a new car too

Sounds like you sell on Gumtree!

Don't think so, only gets applied to bills issued after July 1st

Thanks for the suggestion, it's working a charm.

High performance coach. From interstate. Viciously bashed.

I'd be looking at WCE S&C staff tbh.

Purely so Fyfe doesn’t have to travel down to Gracetown any time he wants to catch some waves.

Boring aside; I’ve surfed (on various occasions) with Fyfe, Stephen Hill, Darling, Dangerfield and Jamieson. They are all absolutely shit aside from Jamieson who can genuinely go (and I say that as a pretty shit surfer myself). Filthy Phil Reid is decentish in bigger stuff as well.
