Keyboard Affected By Wifi

[bainbrig]

Obvious really. A few weeks ago I asked about my Logitech wireless keyboard which was acting strangely.

Turns out it was my door-bell. I'd had the bell unit next to my computer while I was taking down the reference numbers etc., and the wifi in the bell (take it it's bluetooth) was interfering with the usb wifi transmitter Mac to keyboard.

Remove the bell to a safe distance, keyboard okay again.

Just for reference...

Life should be getting easier, simpler, with all these electronic gewgaws supposedly helping us, but life seems to be getting more complicated, just because of these electronic whatnots.

Do you remember the cry back in the 90s about "The Paperless Office" (which was coming as soon as we all had computers).

All the Public Utilities, Banks, Network providers, etc are persistently plaguing me to accept paperless billing - but I don't trust them so resist it where I can.

"The paperless office" comes to mind whenever I sit in a hospital waiting room, and watch trolleys, laden with files, being wheeled about, yet there are computers everywhere!

My car remote control sets off someone's house doorbell. I suppose I should check that pressing their doorbell doesn't unlock my car

Yes, you can open cars with door-bell pushes.

Also, smart thieves sit in their cars with small laptops able to transmit on varying frequencies, targeting cars they want to knick.

(Not my car, or possibly yours. Good reason for having a 12-year-old Nissan).
