Nicotine isn’t the only addictive substance in cigarettes. As someone who has quit both cigs and vaping, it was by far easiest to quit vaping. It absolutely sucked - but nothing compared to going off tobacco. I still get massive cravings if I smell someone smoking nearby.
no one actually gives a fuck
Considering the fuss people make about gender neutral terms, as well as the whole master/slave, blacklist/whitelist thing, I’d say it’s not totally improbable.
Yeah you know your on your own when the vendor shifts the blame to Microsoft.
I’m not sure anyone would be able to text-only help you here, I’d recommend you hire a local “computer guy” to take a look at it. The solution is likely pretty straightforward but without actually seeing it in front of me any suggestions are just a shot in the dark.
This definitely sounds like an issue that should be worked on from the other end, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
I’m guessing you’re using Edge og the new computer? What browser did you use on the old one? This setup sounds legacy enough that you may want to try opening the file in IE mode.
Edge can also do right click > smart copy, I’m not 100% sure what that entails, but it’s also worth a shot.
You’d love what one of my local stores does then - they give you the option to register your fingerprints after they check your ID for when you want to buy booze in the self checkout!
This method is far older than that, and it keeps popping up every so often as a “new” attack. First time I read about this method was in the early 2000’s, and I’m pretty sure it been done before that as well.
I don’t have it handy, but I came over a github repo showing the different prompts that for example ChatGPT and Bing use - and realized right away why Bing AI is so bad in comparison. MS seems to not know how to write a good prompt, and it show in the quality of their product. Plus the fact that you couldn’t even save Bing chat conversations for the longest time, I’m not surprised they’re not ahead.
Same in Norway, unsurprisingly, but we do say 14 0 0 (fjorten null null) if making it clear that we mean 1400 exact. Otherwise like you said, klokken 14 or klokken 2.
There’s plenty of stories online . It’s all automated and if it decides you’re bad, you’re out. No questions asked, no appeals.
Google search it up and you’ll find many more.
How long until Google says “fuck it” and outright starts banning adblock users? Considering how deep a lot of people are into the Google ecosystem, this is potentially devastating. Imagine losing access to you email, photos, etc., with no way to appeal. Good luck if you want to actually speak to anyone human at Google.
I was taught that dividing the numbers naturally into thirds:
I II III IIII (all I)
V VI VII VIII (all start with V)
IX X XI XII (all contain X)
Visually looks more “balanced” than having an extra V
Yeah, and a net loss of a bit over $1B. Revenue ≠ money in the bank.
I wonder if they actually considered a reversible design of if this is just being said in hindsight. Reversible connectors were never really a thing I remember hearing about the USB was in its infancy. VGA, DVI, serial, parallel, PS/2, joystick… Nothing was reversible nor was it expected to be.
As much as I’d love to jump on the “stupid Americans” bandwagon, this seems to be a big problem not only in America. After the reddit exodus and before I had a good setup for lemmy, I used Facebook for a short period. Most of my stuff there is from US, UK and Norway, and the number of people in the comments who can barely put together a coherent sentance is astonishing. Far below 6th grade level by any standard.

How have I not heard of this series? Looks twilight zone-ish? Is it worth a watch?
I’d definitely recommend them, though sometimes you’ll need to power through some dry bits. All the 90’s trek started out rough and only got better.
It’s not hard sci-fi, so the technology sometimes works the way the story needs it to work, but generally it’s pretty consistent.
That’s a really cool theory, probably the best I’ve heard! It’s established that there is a limited range, and that transporting during warp is possible, but extremely difficult, have to match the other ships exact speed etc., though they technically aren’t traveling faster than light but existing within a warp bubble.
