Single-use e-cigarettes contain batteries that last hundreds of cycles despite being discarded

    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.

    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.

  • New Computer - pasting html export into word
  • code code Now 100%

    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.

  • Bing loses search market share to Google despite ChatGPT integration
  • code code Now 50%

    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.

    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 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.

    Welding code Now 100%
    Testing an auto darkening welding helmet

    I'm going to learn some welding and I've bought myself an auto darkening helmet. I tested it my holding it up to the sun, and it darkens, but stops darkening right away (depending on the delay I set). Also tried with a powerful flashlight and it does the same. Also left it outside for a while for the solar panel to maybe charge the battery, no dice. Is my helmet is defective or is it going to work as intended with real welding?
