People think we’re weird for not wanting a smart meter to replace our clunky old mechanical gas and elec meters but seriously, try hacking something that looks like this

WHY DOES YOUR SOAP NEED INTERNET

Thought my PC was dying and was budgeting for buying a new one, tried disabling crappy Chrome background processes that run even when you’re not using Chrome and there we go, fans no longer sounding like a jet fighter taking off *facepalm)

Now getting a solid 60fps in a heavily-modded Skyrim AE (with Weather is Sacred ENB), where I was getting 40-50 before, and Sims 4 and Cities Skylines run beautifully too.

Twitterpocalypse -- The Final Countdown(?)

*cracks knuckles*

All right. I had thought we were done. I had thought about retiring these, as the last one got a bit out of hand. I had planned on doing other things tonight, but it appears, my people need me.

And this genuinely might be the last one (at least from me). So let's see if I can sum up what's happened since our last episode, and see how many screenshots I can artfully arrange together before Tumblr breaks.

On Tuesday, things were already starting to break.

Wednesday:

Twitter 1.0 is dead. Long live Twitter 2.0!

It's just like the nineties, because it's EXTREMEly HARDCORE

Then somehow. After that was when things started getting weird.

Not content to be the technoking who is responsible for the engineering of rockets and for the technology in the exploding cars that make them successful, he decided to become a lawyer too.

He's really good at it.

And then this is what lured me into a false sense of security at *checks timestamp* almost 5pm last night.

That's right. Less than three weeks at the job, looking at the flames spreading all around him, Muskhead decided "I did good", or you know. He got bored. Things were quiet this morning, I thought maybe they'd found the tranq gun again. Nope. I shouldn't have looked away.

Because suddenly on Discord everyone's asking me about my next Twitterpocalypse update. And I'm like "??? I looked away for like A SECOND". And open up the app and...

Reactions have been mixed.

I don't know what you guys are talking about. This is HARDCORE EXTREME. Like a Rob Liefeld drawing. Which is absolutely the way to run one of the most important communication platforms in the entire world.

UMMM

RIP TWITTER 2.0

Farewell big bird. You were hilarious. You were horrible. You connected so many people, you literally ruined so many lives. Just waiting for the official return of the Fail Whale, as we all know it's coming.

Nico H.: Even Kevin and I have been getting closer. The other day, he gave me half of his sandwich.

Kevin: I mistook him for a garbage can.

PSA - Export your Tumblr Blog

Remember a few months ago when it felt like every single website in existence updated their privacy policy? That was because of GDPR, the General Data Protection Regulation from the EU.

Another part of GDPR? Right of access / right to data portability. 

What this means is that if you ask for it, companies are to give you access to your data so that you could theoretically move it to another service. Many companies have done this by allowing you to export your data and download it. Even if a company doesn’t provide an automated way, you should still be able to contact them and they should provide your data - it doesn’t have to be automatically generated and downloadable.

Tumblr does provide an automated way to export your blog. This should be done individually for each sideblog as well, if you want. (These are instructions for the website - not the app.)

Go to your blog settings page, ie https://www.tumblr.com/settings/blog/<your-blog-name>.

Look for the Export section (currently at the bottom)

Click the “Export <your-blog-name>” button.

Depending on the size of your blog, it may take a while to generate the export. It will say that it’s processing, and you can reload the page and come back later to check if it’s done.

When your export is processed and ready, the Export section will have a button to download.

Once you’ve downloaded the file, extract it to a folder on your computer. It will contain:

A media folder with images, gifs, videos, and audio files.

A messages xml file. Your messages are in here, even if it doesn’t look “human readable” and is gibberish to you, I promise. There are tools that will “beautify” xml to make it more readable.

A posts.zip file. Extract this and you’ll see an html folder that has an html file for each of your posts.

Valid question….

A requirement for UK readers suffering from certain diseases to refrain from taking out any books while ill still exists. Sick library book readers must also inform the local authority – who may choose to disinfect or destroy any volumes. The law requiring this was brought about as a result of scarlet fever being transmitted from an individual due to his unusual habit of using skin peelings as bookmarks.
