Some of the cheaper USB C cables are also directional. So even if they fit both ways, the pins are only live on one side.Quote:

Needed to print a practice plan yesterday afternoon, in black-and-white. My printer will not print until I replace the empty yellow ink cartridge.
Somewhere at HP headquarters, engineers were against doing this and some management asshole(s) probably got a bonus for forcing them to implement this "feature."
This "feature" also exists on my Brother printer. It's a fucking conspiracy by Big Ink.
Printers are the fucking worst. I don’t own one, so twice a year I have to go on a grand odyssey to print out one page
Of If I bought one it would be a black and white laser printer so you don’t have to worry about ink drying up or all the color bullshit
Garbage sports statistics. The most TD passes by a left handed quarterback in their first 47 games, stuff like that. They must have some powerful computers to even come up with that stuff. We should be using that computing power to cure cancer.
Or for Bitcoin.Quote:

I have a canon color inkjet printer from work. The color cartridges run out often but generic ones work on this printer and I can buy a whole box of them on amazon for $10.
The real answer is just print stuff off at work.
If your color runs out you can drip food coloring onto the felt until it stops soaking in. The colors are perfect and almost free. Alternately you can drill a hole in the top of the case and inject it with a syringe. If you drill you need to fill or tape over the hole after. When my kids were small I did this for years. Now I have a B/W laser printer
We have a Brother B/W laser printer that we got when the Mrs. was in grad school, so at least 8 years ago. Other than a couple toner replacements, its needed nothing, and always works *knocks on wood*. I use it very infrequently now, and it kind of surprises me every time when it prints wirelessly without fail.
I don’t think there will be a cure for cancer.Quote:

This is the way. If I need something in color printed generally it needs to be quality. I just run to the UPS store and have them print it for .20 centsQuote:

LOL. I want to point out the tie-in to the fake moon landing and the Kennedy assasination but I’m afraid I’ll get taken out by black helicopter.Quote:

Old people who get pissy about names for things, especially if they think it’s new or renaming something they used to call something else, amuses me. How basically cantankerous do you have to be to get upset over words, especially when those words have nothing to do with you?
And for even MORE corporate a-holeness, HP pushed out firmware updates that would block 3rd party ink cartridges. WTF?!Quote:

Ha ha, totally. One of the recent ones I've noticed here is the Seattle Times has started using the term "atmospheric river" rather than "pineapple express" and people just lose their shit about that.Quote:

I get it, those terms mean two different things, they aren’t interchangable. To me at least.Quote:
