  • No offence taken ... the last time I used those dumb tanks, or off brand cheap inkjet replacements (I still have a stack of them in my basement in sealed packages) was over ten years ago. I don't remember how or what I did back then ... all I remember is that it was all a constant pain because every time I found a solution, the companies figured out ways to break any set up and then people would start with something new again.

    And all I ever wanted to do was print black and white documents anyway. It was always a pain in the ass to try to print a black and white page and my printer would complain that it needed CYAN! ... the comic and jokes about that is real ... you couldn't print unless all the colours were there.

    I got so mad about it all I went and bought a $300 laser printer and have never had problems since. Once this printer goes, I won't mind spending $500 on another laser printer because I will never invest in an inkjet printer for my home office.

  • Beware the Tech Bro Pipeline

  • Money .... it's always about the money and power

    I'm sure there are tech bros out there that we will never hear about or see or know about .... those are the ones who just want to do tech stuff and not care about anything else

    The ones we do hear about who become billionaires were only ever in it for the money and power

  • After I bought a bunch of inkjet printers and figured out ink tank modifications ..... I finally just bought a good Canon Inkjet Printer.

    After ten years of messing around with these dumb printers for about ten years my inkjet printer has been working fine for the past ten years and I've only ever changed the toner once and never had any problems.

  • All of the values they enjoy following are - in their eyes - only for white Caucasian people of European descent .... the bad parts where you get to punish, threaten, hit, strike, wound, maim or kill applies to everyone else who isn't white, straight and male

  • I never really got into file sharing early on, I somehow jumped onto torrents instead and soon after migrated to Linux distro hopping for a while.

    All the while I kept fixing PCs for family and friends.

    Almost all of them were worn down, infected and affected by the 12 year old in the house who tried to download anything and everything they could find. Their only limiting factor was hard drive space, otherwise they would have downloaded the internet if given the chance.

    I remember starting up a Windows PC I volunteered to fix, waiting half an hour for it to finish its start up routine, go into it's start up programs and discover a list of 200 weird items that came on at every start up ..... delete or remove all of them ... restart, wait again and now there were 100 items at start up ... research how to remove things, rinse repeat for about two days and finally gain back normal control of everything. Then move, back up or just delete a bunch of junk to take back hard drive space.

    Hand it back to the owner who put it back in their home office and their 12 year old would start downloading things again.

    It would take me days to fix it and the kid would take hours to ruin it all.

    Then the parents would blame shitty software or hardware and go out and buy a new faster system.

    The only side benefit to all this was that I ended up collecting a bunch of old systems, laptops and tablets that I fixed or used as Linux test systems and learned a lot from.

  • Imagine being such an insecure cry baby that you have to resort to AI and photoshoped images of yourself in order to look strong or intimidating like some kind of high school bully.

  • Never did understand it either and always just saw it and then saw it so often that it just became normal

    I had to look it up myself to see where the origin of it came from

    Know Your Meme is always a great resource for this kind of stuff .... thanks for asking because it made me look it up and find out for myself because I never knew the origin of it all.

  • My favourite story about all that was the one about Worcestershire Sauce .... a bunch of English guys who had never been to India wanted to make their own fish sauce but it didn't work out, so they stored their barrel of stuff in the basement and forgot about it ... they found it a year later, tasted it and noticed that it didn't kill them or make them sick, so they sold it as Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce
