My last epson experience was about 5 years ago, (edit: holy cow maybe more like 10+ years ago. why does time go so fast?) so they may have gone downhill, appreciate the update. I had 2 in a row and both were good with Linux support and general lack of fussiness.
OK man. Doesn’t bother me if you don’t buy one. This is the longest I’ve kept a printer without throwing it away in disgust in a long time. Companies like to brand things with catchy names. shrug
Thirded. Get an Brother inkvestment model. No bullshit, it just does your bidding, like a printer should. And the ink lasts a very long time.
Yes, everyone says get a B&W laser printer. If that fits your needs do so. We have kids that want or need to print in color fairly often, and color laser was out of the question last time we purchased.
Brother is the now only brand I look at after decades of buying consumer printers. If absolutely forced not to buy Brother, I’d go with Epson. I used to love Canon, but each model started incorporating more and more bullshit, and I found their ink to be both expensive and short lived. HP is the king of printer bullshit, but Canon seems to want to sit on their court in recent years.
Garak might have had something to say about that.

I couldn’t help but think of this (nearly 20 year old) video in response to that comment. 😁
I feel like I’m seeing a sudden surge in Stargate memes. It’s making me itch for a rewatch I probably don’t have time for.
Yep, Brother rocks.
Too lazy for my usual lengthy monologue about Brother when this comes up, but works well with Linux, far more reasonable ink cost than any other brand I’ve tried, and the even low end ‘inkvestment’ model we have has really lived up to its claims regarding ink longevity. It doesn’t even hassle you when you use off brand ink, but I only tried hat once since I had so little complaint about the Brother ink. You do lose ink level indication, which is annoying, but that’s it, and manually checking level is also easy with this style of printer.
“Don’t attribute to malice that which can be sufficiently explained by stupidity.”
The should find out what is used for the foil seal on top of International Delight. That shit is insane.
That sounds right to me as well now that you mention it.
Ferengi have never stopped caring about profit, it’s a fundamental part of their culture.
Gold pressed latinum is an interesting currency FWIW. IIRC latinum is so valuable that gold is just the container for it, adding little value.
I think that’s totally fine, as much as some might want to turn this into a “Ketchup on Steak” kind of holy war.
I grew up on StoveTop and I do think it’s yummy.
My mother in law makes a stuffing that’s essentially potatoes, bread, onions, whatever other seasonings, and yes a good bit of salt. (I haven’t helped make it I admit, so I could be doing it a disservice to describe it that way)
She even cooks some of it inside the turkey and some of it outside, though it never really gets soggy.
As far as I’m concerned, you could throw out the entire rest of Thanksgiving dinner and just give me a big bowl of that.
Guess I just need to keep using firefox. shrug
Did I just see a Bob Newhart Show reference in 2023? In a Star Trek meme??!!
Nice.
Edit: Newhart not The Bob Newhart Show. My bad.
Not directly related but you reminded me of this wonderful blast from the past:

And of course, the not quite as good, but still worthwhile followup:
For non-tech users I think the problem is momentum, for technical users it’s (IMO) Stockholm Syndrome a good percentage of the time.
I meant to link the CVE sorry. https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-3402

Not a serious rebuttal. But yes, MS has found a way for Windows to be vulnerable to attacks using fonts.
Actually I wondered that too.
Oh yeah that would piss me off.
