wireless printers that don't have an ethernet port and the only way to set the wireless up is to connect them via usb to a pc and then install an app that copies the details of your existing network onto the printer. once connected to the network wirelessly the only way to print is to install a large driver bundle, and all management has to be done through this application - there is no web server ui running on the printer at all.

I've never had a wireless printer not work properly when I follow the manufacturer's instructions.

every 5-6 months when I actually have to print something the printer fails in some dumb way that involves fiddling to fix. We put men on the moon but I'm still fiddling with loving printers :saddowns:

snapchat is a instant messaging program where the messages automatically delete themselves after N seconds or minutes, so you can send saucy pics and be sure that they won't be duplicated, saved, or seen by anyone else.

got it?

ok now guess how well that concept works in the real world.

no, but it notifies you if a screenshot has been taken, apparently.

And you can replay videos and sarnsungs come with some kind of screen recording software now

snapchat is pretty good now it's been optimised but people use it a lot for "stories" now where its like you "publish" your snaps and people can view the stories for a day or so

its good for sending nudes too but you gotta set a no screenshot rule first
