Thanks to spambots, if I ever want to find people to test my new indie game, no one will want to. :c
Now that I’m in college, I’m suddenly filled with a profound sense of sports.
this update makes it so you always know the icon of whoever made a post
so yes, that profound quote you reblogged three weeks ago was indeed posted by an anatomically correct horse penis, aren’t you glad you know that
I kind of wonder if the icons change to the current avatar
They probably do.
What irritates me is that it’s kind of hard to tell when oh, the person who reblogged this has started talking now.
Yeah, they should really implement some sort of highlighting when you reblog and add your own comment.
Maybe something like how it works in Activity or when viewing notes where the people you follow are highlighted in light blue.
fuck
i’m
falling
down
all
these
stairs
today is possibly the last day to reblog this post in its original format. make it count
wait how is this post still intact even after the update
Tumblr didn’t get rid of all blockquotes; just the ones that were tied to reblogging something.
I can still have fun with these if I wanted too.
All I gotta do is manually insert them in the HTML editor.
And presto!
Wheeeee!
I’m out of the loop :V
What did Tumblr do this time?
Woooo college.
In which I reuse a gag that I haven’t used in forever so no one remembers it! 8U
Random question. If birds spoke any real human language, what would it be?
It’s near impossible to tell my parents that maybe, just maybe, I might be depressed and should seek help.
Mostly because they don’t believe in depression. They think that people could will it away and they’re unwilling to pay for a therapist for whatever reason.
Telling them would just make everything worse and I think I’ll just have to wait it out until I move away.
The post-crusade update is done! ;2;
But it’s a bit late soooo I’ve queued for later in the afternoon.
Messing with PC panels :v
Yes, I’m working on it ;2;
Guh. This Wi-Fi Sense crap is confusing when the argument for it doesn’t tell me exactly how it works. So I took the liberty of reading an FAQ about it and well, here we go.
You invite a Skype friend over to your house, covered with a Wi-Fi connection with a password the length of the Articles of Confederation.
Both of you have Windows 10 devices, doesn’t matter which kind.
You want to share you network access with your buddy without having to dig out that dumb post-it. So here’s where Wi-Fi Sense comes to work.
You have to turn it on yourself. Then allow it to share the network you’re connected to to your contacts (Skype, Outlook, Facebook). So what happens now? Here’s the iffy part:
The password is sent to a Microsoft server in an encrypted file (so they say :v). Then they send it (still encrypted and over a secure connection, so they say :v) to your buddy’s devices.
If your friend has Wi-Fi Sense on and allows it to connect to a network shared with Sense, and also is in range of said network, then they can connect without needing to copy your password. Just to note, they’re only given internet access. Any locally shared files or printers on your net are still invisible.
If you turn Sense off, then the password stops streaming around and your friends can no longer connect.
So in short.
Yes, you’re sharing your password with people you choose with Wi-Fi Sense turned on and activated. And also with Microsoft itself. The password is supposedly encrypted so neither party theoretically can’t see it.
Compare it to typing your password into a login screen. That text is, hopefully, encrypted and sent over the air to the company’s servers and responds back with access granted. Only this time, it’s giving approved people access, namely your friends, if they’re around.
Again, only with people you choose and only if you turn it on. None of this “sharing with absolutely everyone behind your back” sensationalism.
It’s pretty darn convenient if you ignore the whole middleman thing. If any of this makes you feel a little uneasy, then perhaps you should turn it off.
So I’ve heard that some people have had bad experiences with upgrading to Windows 10. Namely, the computer just refused to boot after the thing restarted during the upgrade, a sign that their hard drives were probably nuked to hell.
Well, this just happened to my dad.
But, not all was what it seemed! I think the upgrade messed with some crucial partition table stuff and just made it look like all was lost. But after digging in with a recovery tool, it turned out that the drive wasn’t wiped and the upgrade was merely unfinished.
Perhaps the same happened to those people or anyone you know.
If your computer refused to boot up after restarting once for the upgrade to Windows 10, this might help you out.
Voila! The upgrade should resume and the world has not ended! (and you also have a neat recovery flash drive in case other things go awry.)
