Does the army want a bunch of 16 year old conscripts? Seems like they'd be a hassle to look after tbh, and I thought all the officers were going to be busy moonlighting as school teachers and dentists already.

That's like the exact sweespot of physical competence and emotional immaturity which allows you to create killbots

They tend to end up accidentally shooting themselves in the head twice though.
Bit of a deep cut there.

I found an ancient HP laser jet 4700 on FB marketplace a few years ago for a hundred quid. Best printer I ever owned- it’s reliable, fast, I get a ridiculous amount of pages from each cartridge.. Ok it’s USB or wired Ethernet only and probably dates from the early noughties but it just works.

I think you are just describing a ponzi scheme but if you give it a silly name you can probably get millions in VC funding.

That's basically what printers are except they disguise it by moving paper around as a sleight of hand.

100%. Though I was having endless frustrations with mine not connecting to wifi, but then I remembered that Wires Exist, and since then no issues.

Merci, chaton!
Last time I looked at the price of an official HP toner cart for my laser printer, it was something like £80.

So I bought a box of five no-brand compatibles on Amazon for £30. The print quality isn't as good and they don't last as long, but for £6 a pop I don't really care!

I've a Samsung b&w laser and have bought compatibles for under £20 which are fine.
It's the Canon inkjet that is a pain ink-wise. At least I can claim the cost of ink back as it's almost entirely used for either the flats residents' committee or for work. Have little need for colour printing for my own devices.

I tried all kinds of fiddle faddle to connect my laser printer to wifi (it wasn't sold with that capability but there are various gadgets which are supposed to make it work) but never succeeded so now I am resolved to the wire and a long USB extension cable.

The armed forces afaik have repeatedly stated that they do not want conscription back.

What would the armed forces know about what's good for the country? Bunch of leftist pansies.

I got a Brother colour laser a few years back and it gives me 90% less hassle than the cheapo HP Deskjet I used to struggle with, but it does still occasionally remember that it is the lowest of Satan's creatures, a printer
