A few years back we decided to do a quality of life upgrade from our Brother MFC-J6920DW since it was just time to retire it. I bought an Officejet Pro 7740 because I needed large format scanning and printing. All that thing wanted to do was calibrate. Before every print, let’s spend 2 minutes calibrating! Before and after scanning, spend time calibrating! I was spending more time waiting for it to prep to do any jobs than anything else. Oh, and apparently this “Pro” printer wasn’t in the business tier and didn’t support scanning to a network folder.

That printer was returned back to the store inside of a week.

As it just so happened, at the same time the newer Brother MFC-J6945DW finally came into stock at MSRP on Amazon and I bought it up. That printer is a BEAST and has been going strong for about 2 years now printing random documents, photos, manuals, and sheet music. No excessive waiting for calibrations, just timely printing and scanning. Oh, and after 2 years I finally had to replace one of the original ink cartridges last month.

Don’t buy HP.

I might catch flak for this, but WSL would also be a good option. At least it was for me. It’s basically a Linux container that runs in Windows and is developed/supported by Microsoft. Some limitations so YMMV.

Quick way to install Ubuntu WSL in PowerShell:

wsl --install

I also recommend the Windows Terminal app to compliment a WSL install. Download it in the Microsoft Store.

I guess we don’t need to worry about AI killing us per se, rather it’ll just slowly taint our minds in a way that we all just end up gradually making ourselves extinct.

Hate spez all you want, I sure do. But that rumor has some slant, since once upon a time you could be appointed as a mod without your approval, and it appears that’s what happened with spez and the jailbait sub.
