Answered: Why does my laptop shut off at 30 percent battery?

If it's come to this point, it means that the battery has endured a lot already. I think for safety reason, you should try replacing the battery. Remember to always plug in.

Answered: How do I set a default program to open things with on Windows?

I think I asked this question in a moment of panic. I have found out, that you can go to settings and click "choose default apps by file type"

This is not a perfect solution however it does fix the problem generally. For .py files I chose thonny and for .pdf files I chose google chrome. I guess it is a little confusing now since my pdf files look like shortcuts to the internet but that's just the poison I picked I guess.

I'm still unclear on removing edge from my computer totally. For example, if I click "open with" , microsoft edge is still a choice but has no impact. I guess that is a small price to pay

Can lovelace use HTTPS for the connection

Can Lovelace enable the HTTPS feature so I can securely send and receive data from this site? Most modern websites make use of this technology. Thanks!

Answered: How do I access my H: drive (or the S: drive) on my own laptop?

First, you need to be on-campus (Augie wifi, or a wired connection) to do this. Augustana's firewall prevents accessing these files from off-campus.

These directions are for Windows computers... it's also possible from Mac/Linux, but you'll need to drop by so we can figure through the steps together, and then post that as a separate answer!

H: drive instructions:

In any folder view (or go to "This PC" or "My Computer"), type in the location bar:

\\swann\students\youraugustanausername\

For example: \\swann\students\harrypotter18\

It should prompt you for a username & password:

username: AUGIENT\harrypotter18
password: harrypotter'saugustanapassword

S: drive instructions: same as above, except use the location: \\mimir\COMMON

Note: If you want to be able to access these locations using the names "H:" or "S:", you can use a procedure called "Map Network Drive" (available from "This PC" or "My Computer"), choosing a drive letter (e.g. "H" or "S") and entering in the information given above.

For Windows:
(You also have to be on Augustana wifi to be able to access it)

In a folder view , type in the location \\mimir\common

Then for username, enter AUGIENT\yourusername16 (augustana id)
and your regular augustana password.
