my roommate bought a new dell laptop, operated by windows 10. in the three weeks he's had it, it's online then goes offline (and this repeatedly): when he goes from one e-mail to another, when he engages in a financial transaction, when he opens a new webpage, etc.
he does the basic rebooting, as prescribed in the article whose link is attached.
his pc and my older dell and apple powerbook are all on wifi.
Thanks, Simon, for your observation.
As you might recall, I have brought up my issues here, re: my DELL laptop and Apple PowerBook G4.
The DELL, with Windows Ultimate 7, has been virtually trouble-free, and it is second-hand. The Apple, also second-hand and a much more expensive laptop, is great for photos; however, more and more apps and webpages are unavailable to me because it will not upgrade.
I love my little, cheapie DELL.

It may not necessarily be Windows 10 but could be an issue with the wifi adaptor (hardware) in his laptop. -- Incognito
Tech came out today and replaced the above.
Thanks again!

I just discovered this!
my uber elder cousin and his wife got the "privilege" of having one last "toast" of wine at the rooftop garden at the towers in nyc since the jw's are vacating to warwick.
his oldest daughter and son in law are quite high up in the inner circle so they get invited to all the "inner circle" activities.
even though they aren't supposed to toast to anything it was pretty darn close.
I remember their driving Oldsmobile 98s, back in the early '70s. I was surprised that the one I looked into had crank windows!
over the years i have seen plenty of elders and ministerial servants touch other j.w's knees, thighs, give very long and intimate hugs, blah, blah, blah.
i know of other sisters who have felt really uncomfortable with such behaviour, but the brothers have just explained that they're being loving as caring christian friends, so they get away with it.
it angers me that no j.w's will speak out about historic or ongoing inappropriate touching for fear of being disfellowshipped or losing the hope of paradise..
It works both ways, male to female, female to male. My comments are relative to tactile human contact per se, not necessarily that initiated by the higher ups in JW society.
Because of my background and personal "wiring," I'm all right with a brief, "hello" or "goodbye" hug. Beyond that, like getting too up close and personal, I am uncomfortable.
Being friendly and warm towards others -- outgoing -- is not an invitation to cross boundaries. I speak for myself.
hi lovely folk,.
two years ago today i had a ha.. i have just re-read the kind words of support from you folks wherever on earth you be and they are still warming to me.. i have had a bypass op done re-hab and learned to live again.. i am on permanent meds and do lots of walking.
since the op i have walked 545 kilometres and worn out a pr of boots.. i walk with walking poles and they mean you take in 25% more o2 than without.
Nowadays, we get to live longer!
Time was that what we went through killed many. I learned, however, that genetic predisposition factors in. Yet, a healthy diet and exercise do matter.

Blessings and peace, zeb, from a fellow who's been where you were and are.
Yes, the support and love here is heart-warming!
our co-ordinator put his hand up and commented saying that people who go on about how depressed or anxious they are just need to stop giving in to impulses and show more self control without letting their emotions rule their lives.. if anyone from the media, a government agency or some other public body heard a comment like that, they'd have a hard time exercising self control over the rubbish this elder spouted, which my friends and family with genuine depression found insulting..

Greetings, neat blue dog, bsmart, and scratchme1010:
I really appreciate this info! It seems a solution is at hand. He and I both think it weird that my two ancient laptops, although deficient in minor ways, never have left me as frustrated as he is with a very expensive device.
THANKS MUCH!

We'll check into that.
