Are there any humidifiers that can handle strait, unfiltered tap water without leaking everywhere? (lemmy.world)

Please redirect if there is a more appropriate community for this question.

I'm dealing with dry air, and the humidifiers I had bought before got the tiniest grits of dust or something in them and leaked their whole tank of water. Turns out they needed purified water or distilled water to function long term.

I just want to put tap water into a thing and get humidity into the air. Any suggestions?

Edit, they were indeed ultrasonic humidifiers.

My idea is that Frosty has taken my Christmas tree off my hands to carry it to the North Pole for safekeeping. This way, I don't have to redecorate next year.

I like the idea of eating a gingerbread house, so I thought of a large bell jar to cover a cake topped with a gingerbread house as a way to display it and also eat it later.

What do you want to see in your gingerbread house?

Why is Facebook filled with so much random junk now? by Usernameblankface in c/technology@lemmy.world

[-] Usernameblankface@lemmy.world 67 points 7 months ago

They figured out that this kind of feed makes the most money from the most users. They don't care if you like it, they care what the majority of users will stick around for. The longer total scrolling time they can get from their user base, the more ads they can cram in there. Ads make money.

Algorithm leads to more scroll time per person leads to more ads per user leads to more income

So, because money

Is it a good idea to get a high wattage phone charging brick and standard USB C cord to use for a laptop charger? (lemmy.world)

submitted 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) by Usernameblankface@lemmy.world to c/techsupport@lemmy.world

My laptop charges with USB C, so when the standard charger broke, I just used the USB out port from an EcoFlow battery. The display on the battery said the laptop pulled 25-30 watts while charging. So, why can't I use just any USB brick that can output more than 30 watts?

Is there something that is bound to go wrong that I don't know about?

Are laptop chargers really that special?

How to work with someone that regularly arrives as the wrong answer? by Usernameblankface in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[-] Usernameblankface@lemmy.world 78 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

From the way this post is written, I think you don't realize how vague your communication style is. Too many possible interpretations of what you said makes it hard to even follow the story you laid out.

Who emailed who about what?

How did someone resend an email that someone else sent?

Re-sending would mean the same coworker sent the email twice.

On rereading, I think you meant that one coworker sent an email to the client, then another coworker that you are having trouble with also sent the same email to the same client.

So, to answer your question, I think they arrive at a different conclusion because they see things differently. Anything that can be interpreted differently will be interpreted differently. The other co workers think they're giving this person set values when in fact they're handing them a set of variables and expecting only one result.

Lower power density, higher cycle life, safer. Sounds good for stationary power storage.
