    Usually everyone tells about how amazing Brother printers are in every HP thread. But yes, to answer your question: Brother Laser Printers.

    I have 3, there have been rumors that the newer models have moved to DRM for their toner cartridges. But I have yet to confirm this.

    Linux sees all the brother printers on my network and can print to all of them without issue.

    I have kleinfelter syndrome, my body doesn’t produce testosterone. I have to take estrogen blockers to prevent my body from making estrogen.

    So I’ll be taking TRT injections for the rest of my life. The only real downside to that is knowing prostate cancer is likely, 2 years in and it’s already elevating my PSA levels. Right now my doctor feels I’m too young to worry about it, they only check it on the off chance that my levels spike into dangerous territory.

    It’s time for Animaniacs. And we’re zany to the max. So sit back and relax. You’ll laugh till you collapse. We’re Animaniacs.

    Come join the Warner Brothers. And the Warner sister Dot. Just for fun we run around the Warner movie lot. They lock us in the tower Whenever we got caught But we break loose and then vamoose And now you know the plot.

    We’re Animaniacs Dot is cute And Yakko yaks Wakko packs away the snacks While Bill Clinton plays the sax. We’re Animaniacs.

    There’s Pinky and the Brain Who want to rule the universe Goodfeathers flock together Slappy whacks them with her purse. Buttons chases Mindy While Rita sings a verse The writers flipped We have no script Why bother to rehearse

    We’re Animaniacs We have pay-or-play contracts We’re zany to the max There’s baloney in our pants We’re Animanie Totally Insaney [Add random rhyme: Pinkie and the Brainey] Animaniacs Those are the facts

    I was in Ecuador, the wife wanted to visit the Galapagos. We get into the country at like 1am and the tour operator sends a car to pick us up and I can’t even remember the name of it, it was a 6 letter brand. Anyway the interior was beautiful, and the driver is streaming 80s music videos on his radio from YT. Totally legal for them apparently. So I ask him what the hell this car is, and he says you can’t get it in North America, but it was a Chinese EV and I was so impressed with it. When I asked what he paid for it, I understood why they don’t want these cars in North America. Who the hell would ever buy a car from a domestic manufacturer ever again.

    Yup, with ya brother. I have Microsoft certifications dating back to NT4. I’ve never been bothered by anything Microsoft has done, with the possible exception of WinME. I have done thousands of installs for friends and family. When MS started actively preventing me from installing W11 to “older” hardware and requiring a login, I started looking into Linux. I had run Slackware in the 90s so figured Arch couldn’t be that bad… It was actually easier than I remembered.

    That was 2 years ago. This past weekend my Dad had somehow been force upgraded even though I had group policies in place to prevent upgrades past 22H2, and he wasn’t happy with the result. Brought Linux Mint, booted from the USB and asked him to do everything he normally does on Windows. Almost all of his activities are browser based so I installed it and have yet to get any calls asking questions.
