My roommate changed the wifi password and won t tell me what it is. Is there any way I can figure it out myself?
Yes. The WIFI Password or KEY is stored in your Router. Just log on to the Routers Setting and change it your self. then change the LOG ON Password so he can't log on. This is how> First you need to know the IP address of the Router. Open the Command Prompt and type IPCONFIG. The Gateway IP is the routers IP. write it down and close the Command Prompt. Open a Web Browser and in the Address Field enter the IP Address. Log on to the Router: User Name is Admin. Password is admin or password and just blank (no Password). UNLESS it has been changed then you can not go any further this way. Once you get in go to the Wireless Section and Change the KEY (password). Also change the LOG ON Password for the Router then he can not get in. If you can't get in then DEFAULT the Router. Stick a Paper Clip into the tiny hole on the Rear of the Router. Inside this hole is a button, hold it down for 15 Seconds. This will reset the router to factor default and the WIFI will be open.
Is it illegal for me to cut the power on my roommate?
I had moved out of the apartment in October of 2013. I had given my roommate over 60 days to find a new roommate or put in a 30 days notice. The apartment complex does not make someone a main lease holder and you can be taken off the lease as long as your roommate signs you off. He is well aware of this. I moved in with my fiance. The roommate has still not removed me from the lease and is requesting that I pay for January rent in full along with the late fees seeing as he didn't pay for the rent. When we first moved in I paid first month. The deposit. And both mine and the roommates application fees. Everything was put in my name seeing as he was too lazy to put anything in his. He already made a big deal about me cutting the Internet and cable. Is it wrong for me to cut the electric too?
How do you tell? Open a cmd window (assuming you’re on Windows) and typeping 8.8.4.4If you get some results (other than timeouts), you’re connected to the internet. (ICMP is seldom blocked, but if your roommate blocked your MAC address, it would block that too.)
Get a good sleep mask. Kind of works for me and was much cheaper than a divorce.Learning to live with a roommate is often one of the better learning experiences you will have at college. If you are completely incompatible, talk to a counsellor about alternatives. Otherwise see what you can learn from each other.
Legal? Yes. Wise? It depends on why you’re turning on the light, and how grouchy your roommate is by being awakened. Have a good reason for turning it on, and if this is a regular thing, buy a headlamp with a red light, not a white one. It’s less likely to wake them up and won’t ruin their night vision if they do wake up, making it easier for them to go back to sleep. You can also buy or make a privacy tent:This lets you read, watch a movie, check email or whatever without interrupting your roommate. Having a roommate means respecting each other, communicating regularly and letting the other person know what you like, don’t like and what your boundaries are.
First, yes you should be doing your own dishes. Always. A good rule of thumb when you have roommates is “In shared spaces, leave no clues.”With that said before you became roommates you should have taken a moment to agree to house rules and chores. You are here now. Do not make this about someone having power over you. Make this about you being a responsible adult and a good roommate. Just that. Do the things you should be doing - period.If he isn’t doing his dishes, and you are doing yours you get to point that out. That you are being responsible and respectful and you believe he should be doing the same.
I don't know how it works in other countries, but in the UK most utilities don't get switched off when you inform the utility company you are moving out. The utility company will just send the bills to "the occupier" until the new occupier phones and gives their details. That means there is no problem when your roommate moves out - you can just phone up and have everything put in your name and arrange payment. You've probably got a few weeks before the utility company gets concerned and starts trying to work out who is living there.(Phone lines and internet connections tend to be the exceptions to that rule - they do get cut off and can take a few days to sort out, which can be annoying.)
well the example you mention isn’t actually all that wasteful.a typical TV consumes about 50 watts. at a typical electricity rate of 15 cents per kilowatt hour, she is wasting ((50 x 15) / 1000 ) x 24 = 18 cents a day or $5.40 each month, which could pay for you two having coffee at starbucks to discuss conservation.“wasteful” use of energy is more about our choices in society at a larger scale than just leaving things “on”.it’s wasteful to build houses and buildings without insulation so that we over heat and over cool them. it’s wasteful not to have electric transportation - trains, buses, cars - because the planet’s in climate emergency now.it’s wasteful not to recycle all of the things we manufacture because of the energy it takes to build them. some suggest the cost of goods is perhaps half materials and half energy.it’s wasteful of electricity to leave the lights on - and we do that everywhere. a single light bulb takes about the same as the TV.i remember years back visiting the library at Stanford at Palo Alto. it was completely dark, except that as you walked the lights turned on, and then off behind you. cool!there is even a cost in the wear and tear of turning off and on. for example in aviation we track two aspects in order to schedule preventative maintenance. the hours of flight of course, but also the number of “cycles” or takeoffs. an aircraft flying long international trips wears out slower than one flying short commuter flights.so back to your problem. you’re trying to do a good thing. i would explain the costs of not conserving on the macro as well as the micro scale. costs not only in money, but in the wasting of resources and sustainability. maybe she likes Starbucks.
It's not a silly question at all.Perhaps your mate considers it's not his home, so why bother to save? Or, some don't like to open curtains and live under natural day light (bright). You can try to convince him by citing power shortage examples in many states; educate him that somebody like him could be studying with that saved Energy. Tell him that little power saved individually will have a big difference in terms of Energy saved per year. Remind him: Boond Boond Se Sagar Banta HaiAlternatives: a) if your hostel has a spare CFL 20W bulb you can cut the Energy consumption by a half.b) else, politely ask him to purchase one!
