    If you buy whatever Brother laser printer, the ink doesn’t dry up and you never have to print anything anyway. It’s like $100 and the cartridge lasts forever.

    And also; don’t print. If you’re a developer, put in the css that says:

    @media print { body,html {display:none;} }
    

    That might not completely do it because it’s a joke but slap !important or whatever wherever you want.

      Brother invalidates its laser cartridges after a certain number of revolutions irrespective of how much toner is left. You used to be able to override this manually but they removed that in a software update recently. Am livid. If you know different do you mind sharing what model you have?

        There is an official way to override this. In mine it’s pressing 7 times some button. I can’t

        Remember what it’s called, but it’s in the manual. The mode essentially lets you print until the cartridge is empty

          That’s what I used to be able to do. It was pressing the back and cancel buttons in some combination brought up a hidden menu where you could reset the toner levels. You can still bring the menu up on mine but now it ignores any reset you do.

          Also, there’s easy tools to help you. I know VS Code has accessibility code linter extensions. I’m not as familiar with Xcode or others but I’d bet there’s something that at least treats it like a code warning if you do something that would make your web site gibberish to screen readers and the like.

          We’re pretty much all gonna be disabled at some point. Some of us will piss off the mafia and be sank to the bottom a shallow sea while in our prime. But ideally, we all live to have vision problems or some other need for accessibility to exist.

            TIL the scope of a conversation can never include anything that wasn’t in the original post. I can’t imagine how boring your conversations must be irl.

        It’s a joke, dog. It makes it so the page comes out white when printing. It’s not something anyone should actually put in their code.
