  Asus Vivobook Problems
Posted by: driftwood - 02-12-2024, 08:06 AM - Forum: PressF1 - Replies (6)

Having two problems with this laptop.
It's been losing the wifi intermittently and not resuming from sleep.
When the wifi goes out, it doesn't show on the device manager.
A reboot sometimes fixes this, or it may just come back on it's own.

This system started out on Windows 10 and then updated to 11.
I read on a forum, this problem could be caused by the latest windows 11 drivers not be totally compatible with the system.
So, I reverted it back to Windows 10 and the default drivers.
All was good for about a week, then both faults started to return.

Any Ideas or solutions would be appreciated.

13-year-old Barbara Kent (center) and her fellow campers play in a river near Ruidoso, New Mexico, on July 16, 1945, just hours after the Atomic Bomb detonation 40 miles away [Trinity nuclear test]. Barbara was the only person in the photo that lived to see 30 years old.

  Two contrasting interviews
Posted by: harm_less - 01-12-2024, 08:18 PM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - Replies (15)

I caught up with Jack Tame's interviews on Q&A this morning. The thing that struck me was the contrasts between the two interviewees. One blustering evasive and lacking facts, the other a totally different public servant.

  Privatising healthcare
Posted by: Lilith7 - 30-11-2024, 02:50 PM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - Replies (6)

It may be that govt wants to privatise the health system. How anyone with a vestige of conscience can even contemplate such a thing is beyond understanding - but apparently, that is the aim of David Seymour....who will soon become deputy leader. Dodgy

Its going to be very interesting to see what effect this has.  They're doing it with the best interests of young people in mind, but no doubt some ingenious human will find a way around it somehow.
