      To be a redditor means you must think at all times: “What if I offend an advertiser?”

      You must train yourself, even when you’re not on reddit.

      Even the hint a printer could be fixes is a criminal offense. Reddit is being paid by the printer companies. I don’t know.

        The word shoot is in the text The image portrays a scene of violence

        Dunno beyond that

        Hell, the meme will probably float around on reddit even

        All I know is I searched for the captions, got one satisfactory result, clicked through to the original post and… deleted / op deleted

  • Used to joke that eventually it would be cheaper to buy a whole new printer than a replacement ink cartridge. Well, my last 3 printers were bought because that shit became true. $70 for a new ink cart; $30 for a new printer that includes ink.

      While I hate many things about printers, I’ll give them credit for being better than they were. Installing printer drivers a few years back was a fucking nightmare. Now most of the time I can just find the printer on the network and send it. No special software, no “Have Disc” menu headache. Shit just works.

      There’s exceptions for stuff like plotters, but when a print job uses $40 of ink and paper I kinda want it to be a PITA so people don’t decide to just print out every map revision for every meeting when a pdf on the big screen does the job just fine.

      And scanning still sucks. A lot. Like - a crazy amount. Why is scanning to a USB drive still the most convenient way to get a file larger than the email limit to my computer?

          I have a functioning ancient Canon printer in my office that can do that. 🌚

          Would still be using it if not for safety concerns regarding old laser printers.

        Honest question: what about scanning to WebDAV/Nextcloud/SMB-Share/Paperless-NGX?

          what about scanning to WebDAV/Nextcloud/SMB-Share/Paperless-NGX?

          Manufacturers seem to have by and large decided that those features are reserved for professional office units priced at >$400, and for everything that can’t scan directly to network drive without a computer you can only operate the machine directly (ie pushing the buttons on the machine) if you have Windows or Mac. Linux users must use a desktop app, browser interface, or smartphone app.
