AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around difficulties accessing a school wireless network using a Windows Phone operating system. The user successfully connects using a Windows OS but encounters issues with the two-factor authentication process on Windows Phone, which is not supported according to the network officials. They note that devices running iOS and Android can connect without issues. A friend managed to connect using an old Nokia with Symbian OS through a specific program. The user seeks information on potential solutions, particularly looking for a program similar to Uniwifi, which is available for Android, to enable connectivity on Windows Phone 8.1 and Windows 8.1 with Bing. Suggestions include contacting the school's IT support for further assistance, although previous attempts have indicated no available solutions.

Hi. I enter the school wireless with my school number as first step then my mail-password related to school's mail as the two step. I do this with Windows operating system by a simple configuration but I cannot do that configuration by Windows Phone O.S. The network officiers says there is no configuration for Windows Phone O.S now but there are for Iphone operating system and Android. So handyphones with other two operating systems can enter the wireless but not Windows Phone. I also know one of my friend entered wireless with Symbian O.S of an old Nokia by the help of a program. I would like to collect information about this situation and this wireless system but I do not know anything related. Would you like to help me learn.

Thank you.

It's some kind of two factor authentication. He's not able to do one of them with the Windows Phone.

It's highly unlikely but it's possible that your version of the Windows Phone doesn't support the type of 2 factor auth the school is using. I would suggest contacting the technical support (IT team) at your school and asking them. This is probably the best avenue for you.

Thank you Routaran. I spoke to some of IT members but they said there is no way. I have learned that there is program called Uniwifi, but it is for android devices. If I can find its equivalent versions for Windows Phone 8.1 and Windows 8.1 with Bing (for tablets) I can succeed it.
 
In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...
Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'
I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
