Daily Tip:
Flip The Wi-Fi Switch
Many laptops have a physical switch or button that you can flip/press to
enable or disable the laptop's wireless adapter. This is handy if you're
about to board a plane and want to quickly turn off the laptop's Wi-Fi
settings or if you don't need Wi-Fi at the moment and want to conserve
battery power. However, it's easy to forget that you turned the adapter off.
If you're having trouble getting a Wi-Fi connection check that switch on
your laptop.
Daily Term:
fan grille
Wherever you find a fan on your computer case, you are also likely to find a
fan grille (sometimes referred to as a fan grill). Not to be mistaken for a
fan filter (which blocks dust from being sucked into your system), a fan
grille prevents curious children and pets from touching the rotating fan
blade. Business PCs typically have nondescript grilles, while gaming PCs
often have grilles in eye-catching shapes.
