Until the software counter decides that the waste ink pad is full and the thing blows a software fuse.
Epson’s official solution to a full pad is to throw out your printer and buy a new one - literally a printer with a self destruct timer. Not very “eco”.
The Epson printers with the non-serviceable waste ink pads and the software self destruct timer? Not sure how user friendly or “eco” those are.
Great idea, atrocious execution.
Inkjet is pretty much terrible for anyone printing very little (more ink wasted on cleaning cycles than actually printing, high chance that the ink dries up regardless) and very much (stupidly expensive and unreliable).
If you don’t need color, get a cheap b/w laser printer. Brother used to be one of the last good ones until they, too, decided to block third party cartridges via firmware updates last year.
If you can get an old, used, Brother laser printer for cheap, go for it - they were borderline indestructible and would print with any cheap toner.
Why? Mozilla isn’t a threat to open web like Google has shown that they are and they certainly can use all the support they can get.
On mobile I’m using DDG as primary browser.
Don’t get me wrong, DDG’s app is a massive step up in privacy, but it’s hardly a browser, it’s simply a WebView frontend. You’re pretty much still using Chrome.
Google’s proposed “Web Integrity API” browser-DRM was probably the biggest attack on the open web since its conception. I don’t think they have fully given up on that idea and they’ll likely sneak it in more gradually and slowly. Manifest v3 is just a small baby step in this direction of taking away user control.
Also, isn’t that against EU laws?
Very likely, but the final verdict is still out on that one, as far as I know. There are several other services and sites that offer similar opt-out of tracking and ads for money schemes (albeit not as ludicrously expensive).
I believe that’s both against the spirit and any reasonable interpretation of the law, but I don’t think it has been fully tested in court.
“Our presidential election is not really democracy […]"
Well, duh!
Eh, that’s more likely due to the lower user-base and general activity than a genuine difference in behavior. At least I hope so, since I have seen some truly atrocious takes on Lemmy that haven’t received nearly enough downvotes.
I’m using an Ad-, Tracking- etc blocker in all my devices, so I’m not too worried about using Google or Bing when I do.
But I’m hosting my own instance of SearchXNG and that’s often simply the most powerful and flexible search engine.
Same on Lemmy, minus the “masses” part, maybe.
Boost is the one I’m looking forward to with by far the most excitement. It was my favorite Reddit client. While I’d be happy enough with Sync, it was always 2nd to Boost for me and this launch and the extremely premium pricing haven’t left me with the best first expression.
I also have the feeling that ljdawson will be the first to cut their losses if the client doesn’t perform as expected on this platform, which makes me extra hesitant to dish out for 22€ or 115€ lifetime payments.
You do you. People who have used Sync in the past know what you’re missing out on.
Literally my two favorite (former) Reddit clients by a wide margin. This makes me happy.
They are both terrible. HP for obvious reasons, Epson for its self destruct timers.
