Twitter is Dead. Long Live X

X Twitter
Twitter, the popular social media platform, is dead.  

In a major rebranding effort, it is now the "everything" X app.

No more *tweets*.

Now they are *Posts*.

Its iconic bird logo has been replaced with a new X logo.

But what does this mean for users? 

What changes can we expect to see on the X app?

Since buying Twitter for 44 Billion dollars a few months ago, Elon Musk has introduced a slew of new features such as the opening the verified user checkmark to paid subscribers, long form text, video and easing censorship on the platform.

Musk has not yet revealed all of the details about what the new X will offer, but it is rumored that the company is working on a number of new features, including:

  • A payments feature that will allow users to send and receive money directly through the app.
  • A shopping feature that will allow users to buy and sell products and services on X.
  • A productivity feature that will allow users to collaborate on projects and share files.

If Musk is able to deliver on his promises, X could become a major player in the social media and mobile payments markets.

You can find OneCoolTip on X at @OneCoolTip

You can find X on the web at www.X.com.

Don't have the X app on your phone?  

You can find the X app here:


That's it.

Unraveling the Mystery of Your PC's IP Address

www.OneCoolTip.com - I Didn't Know That!
Have you ever wondered why you need to know your computer’s IP address? 

Have you ever been asked for it and didn’t know where to find it? 

Here's a Cool Tip:  Know how to find your IP address.

Your IP address is a unique identifier for your computer on a network. 

There will usually be both a Public and local IP address.

Both public and private IP addresses allow devices to communicate with each other.

A public IP address identifies you to the wider internet so that all the information you're searching for can find you. 

A private IP address is used within a private network to connect securely to other devices within that same network.

It’s like a mailing address for your device, allowing it to communicate with other devices on the internet. 

Knowing your IP address can be useful for troubleshooting network issues, setting up a home network, and ensuring online security.

How do you find your IP address? 
  • One way to find your local IP address is to use the command prompt on your computer. 
    • Press Windows + R on your keyboard to open the Run dialog box.
    • Type cmd 
    • Press Enter to launch the Command Prompt.
    • In the Command Prompt window, type ipconfig and press Enter.
    • Look for the IPv4 Address under the network adapter you are using; 
      • This is your PC's IP address.

  • To find your public IP address is to use Google. 
    • Go to www.google.com.
    • Search for “what is my IP address
    • Google will display your public IP address.
