This was accompanied by an unsolicited popup tip telling me that there's a thumbnail viewer now. After I closed it, there was another unsolicited popup tip urging me to download Microsoft's video editing software. speaking of that lovely app, within the last 6 months it got a patch and now anytime it opens a video it's muted and there are not setting or preference options to make it not do that

here's something that hasn't gotten shittier: big-rear end beyerdynamic headphones. DT700s and DT100s are the best, have been for years, and to my knowledge haven't been sold off to some private equity consortium to strip mine a sustainable business of making and selling good products. if everything was like that it'd at least make pro-capitalist arguments look less like total self-delusion. they'd still be wrong but at least they wouldn't be entirely based on fiction

I want to cause irreparable body damage to whoever at Canon made their printers. I’ve never dealt with a printer this dogshit in my life. Why is the printhead poo poo over dozens of models. Why do I need magenta for black and white (I know why but loving cmon it’s 2023) I had Lexmarks and HPs with a better longevity. My mom’s Obama era HP all in one still works inexplicably, how the gently caress does this collapse so easily Can’t wait to print incredibly sensitive documents at the library!!!!!!

i print like once or twice a month, never in color, and i'm constantly replacing all four cartridges. this is a brother printer. they're all just as bad. i bought brother cause they don't try and force you to subscribe to their ink, but it's no better. wanted to print a package return label in BW but the yellow cartridge is empty and it refuses. i have never printed a color document and they are constantly doing this. i now have to go buy all four cause you can't just buy yellow. generics can't be trusted. it's so horrible a scam i can't believe no one is in jail for this. it's clear collusion between the four companies to all do this. i just need to print like 30 pages a year at home. the worst thing is it was a solved problem for many decades. I owned an inkjet in the 00s that cost about 90 bucks and changed cartridge like twice in 10 years. it's insane nobody can break this cartel

Still using an ancient Canon laser printer which has already reached the age of consent and is 1 year away from being able to legally drink in the USA. It's excellent if you only have to print something a couple of times a year. The replacement toner i got 10 years ago, is still good. Print quality not great but for text, schematic diagrams and shipping labels it's completely fine. The common advice in shops is that you should buy a laser if you print a LOT. It should be supplemented with 'And also if you print almost nothing' cause toner doesn't age very quickly, and it doesn't dump half its 'ink' out in lovely cleaning cycles that then clog up the print head's maxi pad that can't be replaced.

Find out where your state sells the old equipment, my color laser cost me $30 and another $130 to fix, fixing being putting in a toner cartridge. It's the size of a mini fridge and on the right paper prints acceptable pictures. Had a 24" inkjet for a bit and not using it damages the print head, turning it off too long damages the print head, anything but constant use was bad for the print head. Nice picture quality though.

Ink Cartriges are a well known scam, and most printers are designed to waste as much ink as physically possible (wasteful cleaning cycles before printing every page, mixing cyan ink with the black when printing b&w, etc); the average cartridge has like 5ml of usable ink in it, and the printer will err on the side of caution with when it calls it empty, so you'll use like 2ml of it before it goes "nah". And yeah, most now use chipped cartridges to "ensure quality" which translates to "no third party ink, no partial replacements, and no manually refilling the cartridges or your printer stops working". A bottle of generic third-party printer ink costs like $20, and could be used to print something like tens of thousands of pages before you run out, but your printer is going to do everything in it's power to refuse it's use. (I recently watched a buncha youtube videos about the topic while wasting my life away, ain't got no actual expertise here)

I got a cheap B&W laser printer like 14 years ago. I’ve had to replace the toner three times, it’s never broken or inconvenienced me, and it’s always there working when I need it. In the rare case I need photo prints, it’s easy to order online. I completely forget that inkjets exist except when I hear people complain about them. Why do people keep buying them?

What's the deal with EcoTank printers? They seem like the way to go for color since you can refill it with ink bottles from third parties.

I think they used to push them on Bar Rescue Dirty lines can be a thing at all sorts of shady bars. The pour-your-own has the same germ fest as salad bars and buffets - people putting the nozzle into the foam in a glass they’ve been drinking from because most people don’t know how to pour a beer from a tap (not their fault, not everyone has worked in a good bar with good practices). Plus any overcarbed or otherwise hard-to-pour foamy beer is just putting your money down the drain. All beer taps have some wastage, this way the bar gets to charge the customer for it.

Sour candies are weak as heck these days. I have a bald spot on my tongue from when I ate three Warheads on a dare in the early 2000s, they were that potent. Over the years these candies have gotten milder and milder. I bet they toned the intensity down to save costs, maybe also because morons kept burning their tongues by going overboard.
