Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 28th May 2026.

28th May, 2026.

Right … I had my nephew, Jude, over, last night.

And yes: he’d appreciate your help.

Yes: Jude needs you to hit the ‘Like’ button on his lates video!

He’d be thankful, if you did … !

On other fronts … ?

I’ve had a blu-ray delivered: a 4k copy of the Dr Who TV movie, that I tried ripping, yesterday.

I use an app called MakeMKV to copy discs: it’s copied every single 2k disc I’ve thrown at it for the past few years, remarkable well.

But occasionally … ?

It has issues with 4k videos.

Issues that mean updating its library of decryption keys.

After emailing what’s called an ‘AACS .tgz dump file’ to svq@makemkv.com

Something that I did, last night.

Hopefully?

I’ll be ably to copy and transcode the thing, soon.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 28-5-2020: Kylie

28th May, 2020.

Right …

Firstly?   In addition to a new potato masher?

I now have new teatowels!

Which is helpful.

Frankly, the old lot, however clean I tried to get them, were … well … stained … !

So new ones are welcome.

The email, on the other hand … ?

A couple of days ago, I saw an article or two on the BBC’s news site: about how schools and children’s care homes were having issues, sourcing computers and internet connections?

And how the unemployed were having similar issues?

One thing I have managed to do is write and send an email to Essex County Council.

At least, put in a Freedom of Information request about it.

I’ve also writing something similar that I could send to internet service providers: to see what they can offer to the unemployed.

Hopefully, I’ll get a quick reply …

Or, at least, quick enough to make something of the subject.
