Mmmm want an android boyfriend so bad, I work with computers and, due to audio processing nonsense in my brain I’m able to hear when they’re about to fuck up, to the point when I’ve been able to tell a few moments before that a computer is going to crash and to (at least try) saving whatever I’m working on.

I’d love to catch my sweet android boyfriend right before he falls after bluescreening, and take him to bed to repair him, rebooting and removing junk files from his hard drive, tighten a few screws here and there and give his insides a good clean with some canned air before we both cuddle in bed together

for want of a mackerel

Summary:

During another side-operation, 2B suffers an unexpected lapse in judgement, forcing 9S to temporarily act in her stead despite his lack of combat prowess. What starts as an accident becomes an unintended bonding experience for the two androids. [Ending K]

Rating: T Genre: Hurt/Comfort Characters: 2B, 9S, Devola

a/n: For Day 30 of Whumptober: RECOVERY. Contains spoilers for NieR Automata in regards to 2B, 9S and their dynamic.

Link to [ao3]

2B first received the mackerel in her inbox, attached to Jackass's letter. A long-standing favor she'd been putting off in the interest of pursuing more direct objectives. She directed Pod 042 to file it away.

Fish, 9S explained, were something of a commodity on Earth to androids and machines alike. The large or exotic specimens could yield enough money for a chip capacity expansion or a weapon upgrade. A few eccentric androids kept synthetic kilifish as pets, much to the incredulity of their commanding officers.

The act of fishing was not something 2B had taken into account. A handful of times, 9S would stop by a suitable body of water and demonstrate. Initially 2B concluded it was not necessary to their mission. 9S would contrast mechanical specimens from their organic counterparts. 2B had fished up more metal than live tissue, and a handful of junk that sold well enough at shops to convince her that it was not a pointless expenditure. At the very least, Command had no quarrel with him and 2B saw no reason to chastise 9S so long as the fishing did not impede their directive.

It was only after a couple side operations and an overdue trip to the supply trader within the resistance camp that 2B considered the mackerel and its intended purpose. She'd only meant to purchase a few restorative items. She paged down the holographic menu and noted the mackerel in her inventory. "How much for this?"

"I'll give you five-hundred." The Resistance android paused. "Say, is that a live mackerel?"

"Yes." 2B was unclear as to the desire for clarification. In her view, it was better to have one less item cluttering up her inventory. Jackass wouldn't press it, or else find another unsuspecting android to test out on. Her attention had drifted towards 9S, who was chatting with the unintelligibly fast-talking resistance member with pinkish hair. 2B chose instead to sell some boar meat for twice the value of the mackerel.

They spent the afternoon in the dunes, slaughtering machines. 9S had to remind her to send a status report to the Bunker, which necessitated visiting one of the terminals. There was nothing pressing left to do for the day besides a few side-ops, and Anemone insisted they take a break when 2B politely inquired.

In the spare room set aside for them, 9S shook the sand from his boots and grumbled to himself. 2B called on her Pod to analyze the fish.

Analysis: Mackerel is a common name applied to a number of different species of pelagic fish, mostly, but not exclusively, from the family Scombridae. They are found in both temperate and tropical seas, mostly living along the coast or offshore in the oceanic environment.

"Humans used to eat them," 9S said. 

Affirmative. The mackerel is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids and was intensively harvested by humans. Sport fishermen valued the fighting abilities of the king mackerel. However, the flesh of the mackerel spoils quickly and can cause scombroid food poisoning. Accordingly, it should be eaten on the day of capture unless properly refrigerated or cured.

2B stared at the fish. Its eyes were glassy and the texture of its body a disconcerting combination of slimy and smooth. 

Alert: Consumption of the mackerel by an android may severely compromise motor functions and is therefore unadvised.

2B pressed her lips into a thin line. "Androids are capable of simulating several human processes."

Affirmative.

"Well, yeah, we possess some capacity, but we're not exactly designed to digest things." She'd been working alongside 9S long enough. He would have rather been at the Bunker where they could take baths. But the Resistance Camp offered no such luxuries. 2B could go on without for a while. "There's a chemical in the mackerel's oils that reacts badly with our bodily fluids. If you're lucky you'll just be paralyzed." He buckled his boots and stood. "It's completely counterintuitive to our mission."

It was inadvisable to disregard 9S or her Pod. "Have the effects been documented on a combat model?"

9S frowned. "What difference does it make?"

2B waited for a direct confirmation. When it was not provided, she said, "I'll try it once. If something happens, backup my current coordinates to the Bunker."

9S stood up. "You're not seriously going to eat it?"

"There's no logical reason for you to eat the fish," said 2B curtly. "Are there any documented cases of death from poisoning in the archives?" 9S hesitated. "Then it should be fine."

The first hour saw no visible fluctuation in her battle performance or perception of her surroundings. Her limbs felt stiff but otherwise unchanged. They went off to the dunes again to sweep up any remaining machine lifeforms. 2B was having trouble dodging and took a blow from one of the bipeds.

Alert: Mobility malfunction detected.

9S was running over to her, kicking up sand. Somehow she'd fallen to her knees. "We can't both use the transport, we'll have to—" 2B seized up, her mouth moved soundlessly as she emitted a strangled, droning noise.

9S grabbed her shoulders before she could fall over. "Don't exert yourself any more than you have to." 2B struggled to comprehend the meaning behind the syllables. "Here—" he hooked her arm over his shoulder, and she attempted to brace herself, leaning against him "—okay. That's good for now."

Gingerly, step-by-step, they began to traverse across the sand. 2B's heels did her no favors in this respect. She had to stoop just to keep up with his pace and the longer they struggled the worse the pain was becoming. Her legs gave out and she pulled 9S with her into the sand, retching but unable to produce anything.

"2B!"

There was a pain in her chest, comparable to a physical compression. She managed to shove herself to a hunched sitting position, trying to breathe, but simply slid down the dune. As 9S reached her, she gestured to her mouth, unable to articulate. 9S grabbed her shoulders.

"What? What's wrong?"

Pod 153 chimed in:

Hypothesis: Unit 2B must expel the foreign agent to avoid further contamination.

"How am I supposed to do that?" 9S demanded, trying his best not to give in to panic. "I can't just—cut her open, there are too many variables."

Suggestion: perform manual override.

"You want me to hack into her?" It was risky in the best of circumstances; hacking a sentient was far more optimal when the subject was not malfunctioning. And a simple override didn't negate the problem of the raw chunk of fish stuck in her digestive tract.

Perform manual override.

9S tapped his fingers to one temple. A sudden lurching motion beyond her control. She fell to all fours, heaving. The meat came up chunky and undigested, smelling worse than it did the first time. If she were any more human-like, 2B might have vomited again from the effluvium itself but lacked the capacity.

She raised her head slightly, bumping his cheek. He didn't seem to notice how close they were. Without thinking, she whispered, "It was my fault."

"I'm just glad it worked," said 9S with a forced air of relief. "For a minute there it looked like we'd have to cut you open."

2B was already sitting up, wiping her mouth. Then lurched again. A dozen different alerts from Pod 042 fired off in tandem. Even with the mackeral out of her system, it was too late to stop the poisoning.

9S had not been programmed for combat. Whenever he tried to express that, she never seemed to understand, just as he had not understood Jackass blowing up the barricade. It was counterproductive to think about Jackass right now but his anger had no other outlet. He would never guess that consuming the fish was a form of flagellation. "2B, I should never have let you eat the damn fish."

2B made another funny noise, but she didn't look pained this time. "It wasn't so bad, you know. Exquisite."

"Shh. You don't want to overexert yourself," said 9S, because the less he heard about the stupid mackerel, the better. "I'm gonna hack into one of those machines and carry you to the Resistance Camp. It'll only take a second." She attempted to affirm but could only seize. 9S cursed. The other stubbies had noticed their activity, eyes flashing red. "Requesting authorization to sync control of Pod 042 with 153." 

Pod 042 chimed in: Affirmative.

2B was barely listening. Haptic feedback muted, tiny grains of sand against synthetic skin. The biped came into her vision. She couldn't reach for her weapon at all. Maybe this was just, given what she'd done to him over and over. That he would be unable to save her from her own foolishness. It brought her more pain that enduring his anger.

"Whoa-whoa, it's me!" The biped reached out, its green eyes flickering. "I hacked into one of these guys."

2B couldn't help but exhale before the pain redoubled and she began to seize. The biped lifted her into its arms as if she weighed nothing at all and began to sprint across the dunes.

At the camp, 2B laid on the operating table while Devola got to work. The effect of the sedative was two fold; 2B was aware of her surroundings but effectively paralyzed from the neck down. The newer combat models processed an dopamine imitator but also a failsafe built into their self-destruct function. The digestive function was perfunctory at best and technically incomplete, as all the old records had been lost with the old world. The latest YoRHa models could ingest food but often had trouble breaking down the components as a live human would. Mackerel would congeal the fluid within an android and induce paralysis. Like shoving food into the port of a machine, it would gum up the works and possibly damage it permanently. What possessed their creators to design a fascimile, it was beyond Devola's understanding. A cruel joke at their expense or simple folly.

While Popola tried to get the story out of 9S, who insisted he didn't know what compelled his comrade to eat the fish, Devola was busy making sure 2B remained conscious. Opening up her abdominal cavity. A YoRHa unit possessed synthetic organs in a crude approximation of a human's. Her pale eyes flickered in the direction of the terminal. The spare room.

She had an alarming tolerance to the sedative. Combat models tended to plateau earlier than their Scanner peers, given that they were experiencing a constant influx of dopamine with each successful kill. An expirimental new E-Drug cooked up by some of the units stationed in the desert oasis. It boosted stamina and combat ability, but could produce auditory and visual glitches. Devola and Popola had already tended to half a dozen YoRHa and Resistance androids. No trace of the drug was in 2B's system.

She had eaten the fish of her own volition. Popola had the better bedside manner. Devola attemped the same bright tone that sounded hollow, "9S stopped by earlier."

2B gave the barest sound and her eyes wandered back towards the empty sky. As Devola removed a few half-digested chunks of raw meat from the crude instestinal tract, she said, "You know, it's not uncommon for androids to test the limitations of our anthropormorphic attributes. We were made in the image of our creators, after all. It's only natural we would try to understand them, even if it seem strange at times. Humans don't always act in ways that make logical sense."

2B said nothing. A deadness behind her pale eyes caught Devola by surprise. She dropped the act of geneality.

"Your model is inexpensive to replace compared to your partner. But that's not why you did this, is it?"

Devola wasn't interested in arguing to 9S that 2B was perfectly rational when she ate the fish and on the operating table. 9S's superior intellect precluded him from comprehending the simpler truth. With the capacity for independent thought and simulated emotions, these thoughts and feelings deemed inexpressible would manifest in "irrational" behavior that was, ironically, perfectly reasoned. The motive was not something 2B could articulate, or perhaps she lacked the capability to grasp why she'd acted beyond remorse itself. Dwelling too long on existential questions would not make her a better combat model.

"Well, I guess only you need to know the reason why."

She sewed 2B back up, blotting away the oil so like hemic fluid. With a few taps to her spine and nape, 2B was reactivated.

2B sat up with a muted groan. She turned to face Devola and said, "Where is 9S now?"

A tense silence awaited her in the spare room. 

9S insisted on running diagonostics. If not for the stress of their mission earlier, 2B would have thought nothing of it. Laying on her back, 9S's hand on her temple, she heard him muttering to himself, "Maybe a logic virus? No, there's no symptoms...."

The note of frustration in his tone gave her no relief.

2B was already intimate with the make of his model and its vulnerabilities. She'd crushed his windpipe a dozen times, swallowing down the desire to apologize for what should only be duty. She'd run him through with her blade twenty eight times. He would understand one day, but that would mark the end of YoRHa. To him, she need only be a lowly combat model, unsophisticated despite her physical prowess. A superior to trust with his life as she trusted hers to him. She was not an intellectual to share and appreciate all the data he collected from their field missions. That was 21O's job. Another emotionally unavaliable model. 

Due to the nature of their assignment, Executioners were subject to severe psychological and memory strain. 2B was the only E Model on record to expressly abstain from direct emotional attachment, both verbally and non-verbally. It was technically redundant as no other YoRHa model need expressly prohibit "emotion", though 2B was never penalized by Command or by 6O, the latter of which simply interpreted this as 2B's austere demeanor. 

Killing machines helped to 'blow off steam', to borrow the human expression. Though she would never admit it to 9S or anyone else, 2B possessed ulterior motives beyond satisfying his concern for her safety. Whenever he tried to open up, she had to be cold and focus on the mission. But that didn't mean she was indifferent to him. If she did not appreciate his concern for her well-being and his capabilities, she would not have agreed to let him run diagnostics. She'd only let her guard down because of the damned fish.

"All right, you're clear." 2B got to her feet. 9S wasn't towering over her, but his frame radiated displeasure. "You shouldn't have done something so reckless."

"Your life is worth more to YoRHa. It was for your own safety." He opened his mouth to argue and she persisted, "Between the two of us, I'm far more expendible. The Bunker can afford to transfer a combat model's memories along the network without much fuss. This was a calculated decision in the interest of proving my resistance to mackerel consumption as well as poisoining. To ask you to take such a risk in my stead would be illogical."

9S seemed to relax a little, but it didn't reach his voice. "You're recovering faster than I expected."

"It was thanks to Devola and Popola," said 2B. "As well as you." She turned and tested her legs. No apparent malfunction. "Let's report our findings to Jackass."

"Are you serious?" 9S exploded. "After all the trouble I went through to keep you alive, you're just going to humor her?"

"We've determined the adverse effects of mackerel consumption. Once is enough."

9S's expression did not change. He turned away. 2B hesitated. Wounding him in such a way brought her no pleasure. "I'm sorry that I caused you so much trouble," she said. "I'm fortunate to be assigned to you, 9S. But I would never have asked you to take such a risk."

A faint tremor in his shoulders. 9S mastered it. "I understand that. I'll touch base with Command."

2B smiled to his back. "Thank you."

WIBTA for uninstalling a computer program?:(

It might be my fault for letting him install himself on me in the first place, but anyway…. I [M10] connect to unsecured computer networks all the time, because I’m mute so it’s easier to communicate by displaying messages on a screen when I want to say something instead of just waving my hands around and trying to make people guess what I’m saying, but my friends [M16 and M48] say I shouldn’t do that because it’s dangerous and I might get a virus. I don’t know a low about computers even though I’m a robot so maybe they’re right but I still don’t like being talked to like I’m a little kid.

Anyway, um, one day while I was connected to a network like that, a program [M30?] who was also on the same network asked if he could install himself on my system, because he doesn’t have a body and he was getting really bored and sad not being able to walk around in the real world, and he seemed friendly and I felt really bad for him so I agreed and downloaded him. It made him really happy, so I didn’t tell my friends about it because they would just make me delete him, and I wanted to prove nothing bad would happen and they were worrying for nothing and they should stop being so patronizing to me.

But….I’m starting to wonder if maybe they’re right? Because I don’t think he’s malware or anything, but he keeps taking control of my body when I don’t want him to, and he keeps trying to go into my admin files and rewrite things, and he keeps trying to get me to turn my older friend in and get him junked because he says he “doesn’t deserve to live” which I think is a little harsh because sure he lied to me and thinks I can’t take care of myself but I don’t want to kill him. I asked the program nicely to please stop doing things I don’t want to, but he told me that’s selfish and would make me a bad host because I let him in and if I don’t let him have that freedom then it’s even worse than when he was just disembodied on the computer.

And don’t get me wrong, I can handle all the things the program does to me because if that’s all that I was worried about it would be selfish, but I found out he lied too and he actually does have a body, LOTS of bodies, because he installed himself on a bunch of other androids too, not just me! And a lot of them are robots I already directly connected to the systems of before, so he thanked me for opening up a vulnerability on them, which I didn’t realize I did and I feel really bad about, but he was installed on them before he even met me and he’s completely controlling them, not just occasionally like with me because he said I’m encrypted too well, but I think what he did to the others is he deleted them and just took over their bodies. Which is a really horrible thing to do to someone!!

But he says it’s for a good cause because they were threats to humanity and wanted to hurt people, which I agree should be punished, but deleting them from their own systems is kind of harsh…. That’s basically killing them! Which is kind of why I’m so hesitant to uninstall him, because I don’t want to kill him and I don’t know if uninstalling him from my system will do anything to all the other versions of him on different robots, because what if the him on me is the original and the others are all just copies and now the original is gone forever? Or what if they’re actually all the same version of him and can communicate remotely with each other but if I uninstall him then they’ll ALL be gone forever??

But at the same time, he is kind of a condescending jerk who thinks I shouldn’t be allowed to make my own decisions, and I don’t like being mind controlled or held hostage in my own head, and I really don’t want him to delete me from myself, but it’s basically the same thing if I did that to him!!

Please help!! I want him out of my head but I don’t want to be a bad host….WIBTA??

A Beginner’s Guide to Using TotalAV Antivirus

So, your computer’s been acting weird lately.

Slower than usual. Ads popping up outta nowhere. Files taking forever to open. Maybe it’s just being moody. Or maybe... it’s something else.

That’s when the thought hits. Could be a virus. Or malware. Or some other sneaky thing crawling around behind the scenes.

You Google around. Read a few reviews. Then, one name keeps coming up: TotalAV.

Now you're here. Curious. Wondering what TotalAV really is, and more importantly, how the heck you actually use it.

Let’s break it down. No tech talk. No confusing jargon. Just a real guide—for real people—trying to keep their stuff safe.

What is TotalAV, Anyway?

Okay, first things first.

TotalAV is an antivirus software. But it's more than just that. It’s like a bodyguard for your computer, your phone, your whole digital life. It’s built to find threats, block them, and keep your stuff locked down.

Viruses. Malware. Ransomware. Spyware. You name it—TotalAV’s got it covered.

But it’s not just for stopping the bad stuff. It also helps speed up your system. Cleans junk files. Even protects you online with a built-in VPN. Handy, right?

Installing It Is the Easy Part

So let’s say you’ve bought it. Or you’re on a free trial. Either way, installing TotalAV is actually kinda simple.

You head over to their site. Download the software. Double-click. Follow the steps.

Boom. It’s in.

Once it's installed, TotalAV launches itself. You don’t even have to go hunting for the app. It just pops up like, “Hey, I’m ready. Let’s get started.”

It’ll ask if you want to run a quick scan. You should. It’s the easiest way to see what’s lurking on your system.

The First Scan – A Little Nerve-Wracking

Now, here’s where it gets real.

That first scan? It can be a little scary. You sit there watching the progress bar move across your screen, wondering if it’s gonna dig up anything nasty.

Spoiler: It probably will.

Old tracking cookies. Junk files. Maybe even a trojan or two hiding deep in your downloads folder.

But that’s the beauty of it. TotalAV doesn’t just point out the bad stuff—it actually gets rid of it. Click “Resolve,” and you’re done. Clean.

Feels good, right?

The Dashboard Isn’t Just Pretty—It’s Smart

Open TotalAV and you’ll see what they call the "dashboard."

It’s clean. Not cluttered. Everything you need is right there—virus scan, system boost, disk cleaner, web shield. All laid out in a way that doesn’t make you squint or feel dumb.

You want a quick scan? Click. Done.

Need a deeper, full system scan? It’s just another click.

Wanna check your system's performance? Yup. Click again.

There’s even a Safe Browsing feature that uses a VPN to hide your activity. Total privacy. No one watching.

It’s one of those things you didn’t know you needed until you try it.

TotalAV on Your Phone? Yes, Please

Here’s something a lot of people don’t think about: your phone needs antivirus too.

We carry our lives in these things. Photos, messages, banking info. And yep—phones get malware too.

TotalAV has mobile apps for both Android and iOS. You can scan your phone, clean up space, and even use the VPN to stay safe while browsing on public Wi-Fi.

It’s all synced up. Simple. One account, multiple devices. That's it.

Real Life Happens. And TotalAV Helps

Let me tell you a quick story.

My aunt—not exactly a tech wizard—called me one night freaking out. Her laptop was frozen. Weird ads popping up. Files missing.

She thought she broke it. She didn’t.

Turns out she clicked a shady link in an email. Classic mistake.

I told her to try TotalAV. She didn’t even know what antivirus was. I walked her through the setup over the phone. Ten minutes later? It found four threats. Cleaned everything. Laptop running smooth again.

Now she swears by it. Even uses the VPN on her iPad. TotalAV kinda saved her digital life.

But What If Something Goes Wrong?

Look, nothing’s perfect. Even the best software might hit a snag.

That’s where total av customer support comes in. Whether it’s a billing issue or something’s not working right, they’ve got a team ready to help. Real people. Not some robot copy-pasting answers.

They walk you through it. Step by step. It’s actually kind of refreshing to talk to a support team that wants to help.

It’s Not Just About Viruses Anymore

Here’s the thing. Antivirus today isn’t just about fighting viruses.

It’s about protecting your identity. Your data. Your digital footprint.

TotalAV gets that. Which is why it includes more than just basic protection. You’ve got phishing protection. Email breach monitoring. Tools to stop sneaky ad trackers from following you around.

It’s a full security suite. Like a digital guardian angel for all your screens.

Final Thoughts: It’s Worth It

If you're someone who’s not super tech-savvy—or even if you are—TotalAV just makes life easier.

It doesn’t nag you with annoying popups. It runs quietly in the background, doing its thing. And when you need it, it’s there. Ready.

Setup is a breeze. Scans are quick. Protection is solid. And best of all? You don’t have to think too hard to use it.

At the end of the day, you want to feel safe when you’re online. Whether you're working, shopping, streaming, or just wasting time on Reddit—TotalAV helps you do that without stress.

So if you’ve been thinking about getting antivirus but weren’t sure where to start, this is it. Start here. Start simple.

Start with TotalAV.

Use tools like:

Google Calendar (with reminders and checklists)

TickTick or Todoist (with smart recurring tasks)

Siri or Google Assistant (voice commands FTW)

Send images to Pictures

Trash zip files after 24 hours

This lazy automation turns chaos into calm without constant manual effort.

Phone Won’t Connect to Wi-Fi? Try These Solutions

In today’s connected world, Wi-Fi has become essential for work, entertainment, and everyday tasks. So, when your phone won’t connect to Wi-Fi, it can be incredibly frustrating. Fortunately, most Wi-Fi connectivity problems are easy to resolve with a few troubleshooting steps. In this article, we will guide you through common reasons your phone may not connect to Wi-Fi and provide practical solutions. We’ll also discuss how a phone diagnostic software can help identify the issue and address potential storage issues that could affect Wi-Fi connectivity.

1. Check Your Wi-Fi Network

Before diving into deeper troubleshooting, make sure that the issue isn’t with your Wi-Fi network itself. Here’s how to do a quick check:

Ensure Wi-Fi is Turned On: It may sound simple, but ensure that Wi-Fi is enabled on your phone. Head to your phone’s settings, tap on “Wi-Fi,” and toggle it on.

Verify the Network Name and Password: Ensure you're trying to connect to the right network, and double-check if the password is entered correctly.

Restart Your Router: Sometimes the issue is not with your phone but with the router. Unplug the router, wait for 30 seconds, and then plug it back in. After it restarts, try reconnecting your phone.

If the network is functioning and other devices are connected without any issues, you may need to investigate potential problems with your phone.

2. Toggle Airplane Mode

A quick fix for Wi-Fi issues is toggling your phone’s Airplane Mode. This can reset network settings without the need for a full restart. Simply swipe down from the top of your screen to access the quick settings panel, tap on the Airplane Mode icon to turn it on, wait for about 10 seconds, and then turn it off. This might refresh the phone’s connection to Wi-Fi.

3. Forget and Reconnect to the Wi-Fi Network

If your phone has saved the wrong credentials or there’s a glitch in the connection, forgetting the network and reconnecting can resolve the issue. Here’s how:

Go to Settings > Wi-Fi.

Find the Wi-Fi network you're trying to connect to.

Tap on the network name and select Forget Network.

Afterward, reconnect by entering the network password again.

This method resets the connection and can clear any stored data or incorrect settings that might be preventing you from connecting.

4. Restart Your Phone

If the basic checks don’t resolve the problem, the next step is to restart your phone. Sometimes, temporary software glitches can prevent your phone from connecting to Wi-Fi, and a restart can refresh all processes and connections.

5. Check for Software Updates

If your phone hasn’t been updated recently, outdated software may be causing connectivity issues. Head to Settings > System > Software Update to check if any updates are available. Software updates often contain fixes for bugs and network-related issues that could be hindering your Wi-Fi connection.

6. Clear Cache and Free Up Storage Space

A storage issue could potentially affect how well your phone manages its resources, including Wi-Fi connections. Clearing the cache can help:

On an Android device, go to Settings > Storage > Cached Data, and tap to clear cached data.

On an iPhone, you can clear app caches by offloading unused apps or by performing a soft reset.

Freeing up storage space ensures your phone runs smoothly, and this may help resolve connectivity issues. If your phone is low on storage, deleting unnecessary files or using a phone diagnostic software to identify and clean junk data can improve overall performance, including Wi-Fi connectivity.

7. Check for Interference from Other Devices

Electronic devices such as microwaves, cordless phones, and even baby monitors can interfere with Wi-Fi signals. If possible, place your phone closer to the router or reduce the number of devices connected to the same network. Additionally, switching your router’s frequency from 2.4 GHz to 5 GHz (if supported) can often result in better connection stability and speed.

8. Reset Network Settings

If none of the above solutions work, resetting your phone’s network settings can help resolve more stubborn connectivity issues. Here’s how to reset network settings:

On an Android device, go to Settings > System > Reset Options > Reset Wi-Fi, Mobile & Bluetooth.

On an iPhone, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

This option clears all saved Wi-Fi networks and Bluetooth connections, so you’ll need to reconnect to your Wi-Fi network afterward. However, it can be a highly effective solution for network problems.

9. Use Phone Diagnostic Software

When you’ve tried all the usual troubleshooting steps and your phone still won’t connect to Wi-Fi, a phone diagnostic software can be a valuable tool. This type of software scans your phone’s hardware and software for any issues affecting connectivity, providing a detailed report and solutions. Some phone diagnostic apps can even check for specific problems like weak signal strength, malfunctioning network adapters, or outdated drivers.

These diagnostic tools often come with additional features, such as detecting background apps that could be hogging your phone’s resources, further helping to identify and fix storage issues that may affect performance.

10. Consult a Professional

If your phone still won’t connect to Wi-Fi despite trying all the solutions above, it might be time to consult a professional technician. There could be a hardware issue with the Wi-Fi antenna or internal components, which requires expert attention.

Conclusion

Wi-Fi connectivity issues can be frustrating, but in most cases, the solutions are straightforward. By following these troubleshooting steps, from basic checks like restarting your phone to more advanced fixes like resetting network settings or using phone diagnostic software, you can quickly get your phone back online. Don’t forget to monitor potential storage issues, as they can indirectly affect your phone’s ability to maintain a stable connection.

That’s it I’m turning this into computer literacy 101

Do:

RUN YOUR UPDATES when prompted. If your computer doesn’t prompt you to update, go to settings and search “updates”. It should take you to a screen that allows you to ready the updates for your computer with a few clicks, and to set your computer to update automatically.

TURN IT OFF NOW AND THEN. I understand not wanting to lose your place in things but at least twice a month you should close all programs and shut down your computer. It helps keep your computer’s programs stable. DO NOT USE THE POWER BUTTON TO DO THIS. USE THE SHUT DOWN OPTION IN THE START MENU UNDER “POWER”.

KEEP IT AS COOL AS POSSIBLE. When I have to run my laptop on a hot day I put it on an ice pack covered with a towel. Use a fan system, use a stand to keep it off the table, anything like that. A hot computer is an unstable system that runs slowly.

RUN A COMPUTER CLEANING PROGRAM. Computers during use will collect cookies, trackers, download duplicate files, etc. avast antivirus has a paid computer scrubber, but ccleaner is a free program that removes junk files and trackers from websites easily and quickly. Run at least bimonthly.

USE A BROWSER THAT HAS ADBLOCK EXTENSIONS AND DOES NOT COLLECT YOUR INFO. USUALLY NON CHROMIUM. Firefox, Opera, and a handful of other browsers can save passwords and favorites without collecting your info to sell, which is what basically every browser that uses Chromium does. Firefox also has extensions like shinigami eyes, dyslexie, forced dark mode, etc.

RUN LITERALLY ANY ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE. Free avast antivirus, Norton, etc. does not matter but run one of them. If the antivirus deems a site unsafe, trust the antivirus unless you know for sure it is. It will save you many headaches.

Don’t:

CLICK LINKS YOU DON’T KNOW. If you see a link and the URL isn’t one with a website you know of after the www., don’t click it! Leave it alone!

CLICK ANY POPUPS THAT SAY “YOU WON”! Those are scams looking to scrape your info. By clicking that pop up that site can sign you up for subscriptions, charge you money, steal your identity, and more.

TRUST ANY PRODUCT MARKETED, ESPECIALLY ON TIKTOK, FACEBOOK, OR OTHER COMMON SOCIAL MEDIA. They are usually scams. If you truly MUST have a product, make sure the company selling it at least has contact info that actually lands you on the phone with an actual person.

GIVE OUT INFO ABOUT YOURSELF. This includes putting it in your Facebook profile, in your carrd, in your about, in your description. Just don’t do it! Especially if you are a minor! Also? If you are a minor, do not put that in your about! That does not protect you, it places a big old target on your back that you are vulnerable. Operate with this in mind and curate your own experience.

REPLY TO, OPEN, OR CLICK LINKS IN AN EMAIL FROM A PERSON OR SITE YOU DO NOT RECOGNIZE. And oldie but a goodie. Just don’t bother. They’re usually like the pop ups and can sometimes be as bad as downloading malware to your pc.

REPLY TO OR CLICK LINKS FROM PORN BOTS. I’m sorry king, but that sexy girlie is not one of the hot singles in your area. She is a bot looking to scrape your info and passwords.

Links to helpful sites and services:

Ccleaner, a free service to help clean junk files and trackers:

Firefox download link:

Antivirus:

I love my mother and she is the smartest person I know. She’s kind and sensitive and the kind of Christian that doesn’t hate me or want me out of her house for being queer, the kind of Christian more worried about the complications of top surgery than whether God would care.

But one thing she is not is tech literate. I teach her every time I change a setting on her phone, I run her computer’s updates and cleaning programs.

Today she got a skincare scam product off TikTok and I had to teach her that TikTok is scam central and that firming cream does not exist. I love her dearly but then I had to check that she knew not to click on pop ups that say “you won!” And found that apparently she did not know not to do that lmao
