Hello everyone, I have a question about the People You May Know List of Facebook. Facebook says, "People You May Know are people on Facebook that you might know. We show you people based on mutual friends, work and education information, networks you’re part of, contacts you’ve imported and many other factors." Notice the last three words of their statement. I've read some stories online from people about coincidences and occurrences that have happened to them that have caused them to believe that the People You May Know feature also shows people who have viewed your profile many times, especially when no such connections or mutual friends is apparent. I have my own personal suspicions in my case, but that's for outside the Reference Desk. Some online articles like this one and this one claim that possibly one of the ways to implicitly find out (In LinkedIn, it is more explicit people say) who has probably looked at your profile multiple times or is stalking you is if you look at your friend suggestions and see If you see someone who does not share any mutual friends with you. Is there any shred of truth to this? Willminator ( talk) 05:35, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
I am living in a US university dorm room with an ethernet port in my room. I can plug in my own router and broadcast my own wifi signal, which works perfectly. However, when I connect an ethernet cable from my router to a laptop, the ethernet connection does not work, and the previously working wifi signal also immediately stops working. Is this some setting that the school network admins have set up? Or could it be something wrong with my router? Acceptable ( talk) 20:08, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
I'm running both Windows 7 and Windows 8.1; both laptops have the same type of problem. I'm not sure what the difference between an AP and a router is, but I have a dlink router that I basically plug into the eternet port and it broadcasts a wireless signal that multiple of my devices are able to connect to. All devices have simultaneous internet access. Acceptable ( talk) 18:42, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
