- jimhefferon 10y agoI have a slide switch on my Dell laptop to turn off wifi. I've never known anyone to use it. (Not to say there isn't a use, but rather to say that a major vendor puts it in despite that the average customer would not use it, and it doesn't seem to break.)
- hanklazard 10y agoWe had similar laptops in a clinic where I worked a few years ago. The hardware switch for wifi caused hours of confusion and many unnecessary calls to the IT service--I never understood the use-case. Is there one?
- Tiksi 10y agoMost of those slide switches aren't actually hardware switches, they just tell the firmware/driver to disable it.
