After a full year of not thinking about printers, the best printer is still whatever random Brother laser printer that’s on sale.
The Verge published this spam article about the "best printers of 2024" to demonstrate how terrible Google's search results are. It now appears as the top non-sponsored post if you search "best printer" on Google.
In my experience that's only been true if you're letting Google track you post-2020-ish. If you Google via tor or a VPN with no history so Google has no data about you, the results are trash, where Bing/DuckDuckGo (which is just Bing sans non-MS trackers) results are slightly better (although still much worse than Google before it sucked).
well, that was last year, right?
I wouldn't bet on Bing search results having gotten better since then, but I would bet on Google search results having gotten worse since then.
I see a lot of my friends actually use Bing through ChatGPT, and they seem to get better results than Google. That might be what Microsoft is actually optimizing Bing for
