What kind of printer is it?

There’s been some movement over time but in general disk was used for pc because you had Hard Disk Drives. Then their counterpart the floppy diskette (disks).

Disc as a term was used for media like compact discs and subsequently digital video discs, etc. and then pc components allowing them to be read and then written to did exist for PC’s and, as such, had the disc moniker. But that’s because they were already “discs” branding wise.

USB thumb drives, being created as portable removable media for pc’s were a kind of solid state disk and so they use the k. Even NVME, being primarily storage for computing devices, can also colloquially be called “disks” but more and more people just refer to them as drives and I suspect those who refer to them as disks may do so out of older computer hardware habits and that utilities (fdisk, df, etc)call any such media a “disk”.

Does make it easier to isolate vocals I guess

Probably. But I didn’t want them dealing with being cut off. They can do what they want but since it’s a dorm you can be sure they’ve had these conversations before

This is for the A7 but may show you how to turn off wifi on yours if the UI is the same

Depends on whether you can adjust the Tx level but then you run into FCC level stuff that most people avoid (since boosting it is a huge issue with interference)

But this is a dorm. A shared environment with close proximity.

If everyone had their own Wi-Fi transmitting at normal power there would be too much interference that even channel hopping wouldn’t fix it.

Not to say that there can’t be some middle ground but the Wild West attitude isn’t kosher either.

Rf interference. Similar to having multiple microwaves running near your router, or those old rf based baby monitors.

Congested the 2.4 or 5gz spectrum with noise causing noise and retransmits or outright stopping the wifi from working.

If you have an old radio that does AM find a AM channel that isn’t broadcasting and bring it near your router. You can actually “hear” the noise those things are putting out.

Note that hiding its SSID won’t turn off the wireless broadcast which would be adding to the “noise” in whatever channel it’s using.

In this case you would want to turn off the wireless itself

Downloading a lot of stuff in the background over slow networks? Or facilitating some kind of cloud backup/save data?

Turning on the Bluetooth then I can find that mouse.

The Mandalorian has been fantastic though… but I agree with Star Wars having so much sand on screen you just know Anakin’s whining about it while Padme is so bored she wishes she could be sad
