  • Enabling WiFi adapters in network computers?

    Hey, so I recently fell into a job as an IT tech and we have about 20 Dell Laptop computers all running Windows 10 Enterprise.

    I need the WiFi adapters reenabled in order to connect to a shared drive via a limited WiFi connection. I believe that these adapters were disabled prior to us going wireless and as of now, they are mostly just paper weights. If I can enable the adapters, that would greatly increase our ability. 

    I have confirmed that the adapters do exist through the system information of each one of the laptops, but whenever I go through the local policies, I can not find any mention of any WLAN adapter. I admit, I’m not the most seasoned tech, and I fell into this job as a secondary duty. I’m a mechanic who has some network related knowledge. And the last individual who was in my spot was... less than perfect. If you catch my drift. 

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you in advance.

  • Theoretically, Is there a way to find answers to an exam within a online JavaScript course by using the developer tools?

    One of my buddies found a script that lets you automatically complete certain courses that we are to take. I know very little of Java but I have some knowledge of HTML so navigating throughout the console isn't too difficult.

    But I wanted to know if there is a way that -one could enter a course exam and locate the questions and answers for that exam by using the code that the exam is written with.-

    Regardless, I keep telling him that the time that it takes to do the exam is probably less than what he has spent searching for the information. I just thought it'd be cool to ask!

    Anywho, any insight is appreciated. Thank ya'll in advance!

    Excel 2013, Freeze Pane/Header Help?

    Attached is a picture of the table that I'm creating.

    When I try to freeze just the 10 orange blocks at the top, the entire columns are frozen. I only want the 10 orange blocks to repeat between the different days as I scroll left/right/up/down. But all I can seem to do is lock the rows for scrolling down, or lock the columns.

    I want these 10 to always be visible during editing. I'd also like to have the month and the days, but I can just add those in individually. Is there a way that I can make it so I can freeze just the 10 blocks that I've selected and not the entire columns or rows?

    I'm sorry if this is at all confusing lol. But I'm developing a tracker for work and I need it to be as clean as possible (for a more professional appearance). I'd like to avoid repeating the 10 blocks over and over, throughout the 91 day tracker if possible.

    Serious responses only please!

    Thank you all in advance!

  • How can I find the history of a specific Military helicopter?

    UH-1

    SN: 65-9571

    What I'm looking for is the history of the aircraft. I would like to know as much detail as I can. At least the types of missions that it flew and the amount of time that it was in combat, as well as the conflicts that it was a part of. But after almost an entire day of searching, I haven't been able to uncover much. Aside from the location, which I already know.

    Any help would be great!

    Thank you in advance.

  • WHY DOES YAHOO KEEP MESSING YHEIR WEBSITES UP?!?

    Every time I log in something is different. 99.9% of the time, I’m using my phone. I get it, changes and updates happen, but do they not beta test their updates before releasing them? Is the Dev team built from old blockbuster execs? I’m on mobile and Whenever I click my name to go to a question I’ve asked or to review my activity, I’m just taken to this account information page that I can’t leave. Then I have to manually type the url again, just to be taken back to the answers home page. Is this a way to force me to use my laptop? 

    Because it’s so much I’m of an inconvenience to walk across the room, dig it out of the bag, plug it in, wait for it to power on, wait for chrome to load, wait for answers to load, then try to navigate the website... especially when my phone is... IN MY HAND! 

    Thanks Yahoo!

  • Removing Pet Urine odor from carpet?

    Moved into an apartment about a month or so ago, did my initial walk through (probably right after the carpets had been cleaned because I wasn’t aware of the smell) well as I was hooking up stuff around the house, I’d begin to notice a more and more powerful dog pee smell from the carpets. I alerted the leasing office (who wasn’t aware that the previous tenant even had a pet) and they contracted someone to do a pet treatment to the carpets. This worked for a couple weeks, then the smell slowly returned. About a week ago, I finally get my POD aim, which had MY carpet cleaner inside of it. And I did my very own, very concentrated, pet odor removal. I use my cleaner to wash numerous times and to then rinse the soap out. But the smell is slowly returning.

    What can I do that I haven��t already tried? My wife and kids will be joining me soon, so I’d really like to have this issue resolved ASAP... thank you in advance!

    Dryer with no temperature control?

    So, basically... I literally just moved into a new(to me) apartment, and it came with a washer and dryer in the unit... YIPPEE! I chalk that up as a win!! Beats going to the local laundromat with my pants around my ankles because my pockets are filled to the brim with quarters... OH AND GOD FORBID YOU TRIP AND FALL!! You’d be worse off than Sonic the Hedgehog...

    So, to digress... The dryer itself doesn’t have controls for the individual cycles or the temperature... I mean, is Frigidaire the man of appliance manufacturers... Before you judge me, I’m a guy, and basically, I know (as well as other men) the hotter the dryer, the faster it dries!

    Yeah! -behind screen high five-

    Seriously though, I know that different things require different heats and tumble levels... sooooooo........

    What do I do to control the temp for different types of loads if I can’t... ya know... control the temp... or the type of load...?

  • Will using two coverage boosters boost the signal even more, or interfere with the signal already being boosted? (READ IT! Please! :))?

    I work in a large hangar, the cell service inside of which is non-existent. The only exception being a literal box that we taped off. Inside the box however, you get 1 bar on LTE and that is if you're lucky, or if you've sacrificed a farm animal prior to stepping in, and I'm unlucky.

    Now, I don't know about you, but I have commitment issues and a little anxiety... Which is why I don't date... And the cell service has stood me up quite a bit!

    I want you to picture; a pilot. He's flying.. With no maps or GPS, just winging it, because he can't connect to satellites. This is the same thing! Except... I don't fly... And I don't need my phone to work... BUT! Lets face it, I work in aviation. I fix airplanes. Everything is always broken, so I'm at work a lot. I'm just saying, it'd be nice to get a meme every now and then.

    That being said, I called TMobile and the woman (who I still picture with an ear to ear grin, absolutely in love with her job. It was heartwarming) sent me the coverage booster kit.

    After about 2 days of trying to find the best place for the window unit so that it'd still talk to the coverage unit, I found it. It was like I was 7... It was Christmas Day... There was a brand new blue bike.... I had service in the office!! Oh, the bike was stolen by the way... #buzzkill

    Now, if I have a friend (also on TMobile) get his own booster kit, can we use that to take the signal from my coverage unit and blast it into the hangar? Or would it just interfere with my signal?

    I need a punch line for the following

    The queen, lightly taps on the counter and says “I’m a queen! When you’re done serving him, you serve me!”

    And the prince _________________________“

    How does he pull the attention of the bartender and what is something funny, a prince would say?

  • Starting my sprinkler system!?

    First off , I apologize for my lack of terminology, I m not an irrigation guru. So I m trying to start back up my sprinkler system. I ve closed the little drain plug where the irrigation water line is, I ve opened both of the vents outside and closed the air vent lines and I closed the valve that s in the ground.

    My concern is. Where the water comes from the house and makes the 90* turn upward, there s a little threaded nipple. Is something supposed to be covering it? Because every time I turn the water on, water just shoots out of it. Any help would be amazing! Thank you. And I hope I ve sufficiently described my problem.
