< p > The Acer Aspire One (tclaspire3) and Dell E4200 (Crowley) each have internal, built-in wifi, but we do not use these and they are turned off (with a physical sliding-switch on the case) to reduce confusion.
2023-03-26 18:53:57 +01:00
< p > Aziraphale also has an ethernet socket and can be connected by ethernet cable to the network if convenient and if within-hut wifi is congested.
< p > The mains power plugs are illustrated with 2 pins for clarity, but they are all 3-pin UK-style pugs in reality.
