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.

    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.

    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.

    How did that behavior even evolve, like what's the benefit to the species? I'm really curious.

    Well, curious enough to ask, not curious enough to actually research...
