When you figure it out, send me a copy so I can use it as a copypasta too.

I also have one like that somewhere.

I found my pair* of Brother color laser MFPs on Craigslist, being listed by a small business that was getting rid of them. I think you’ll have a lot better luck finding them via some method like that than by checking thrift shops.

That said, they are pretty giant, being designed for small/medium office use. However, I’m not sure there even is such a thing as a “small” color laser, since they inherently have to contain four sets of rollers instead of just one.

(* if you find somebody selling more than one of the same model, definitely get two so you have one for spare parts.)

the larger gauge wires were to carry more current required by the old halogen bulb and are unnecessarily large for an LED light

To be fair, just because the controlling factor is mechanical strength rather than current capacity doesn’t mean the need for heavier gauge wire isn’t legitimate.

Possibly more complicated than OSes.

(Depends on the browser, and possibly what counts as the scope of the “OS.” For example, you could be comparing GNU/Linux+wayland+KDE to Netscape 1.0, or you could be comparing modern Firefox to QDOS.)

Remember, a modern web browser contains a Javascript VM, which arguably makes it an OS in and of itself.

LOL, they’re making a game about “outpost scientists”?!

We can (and should) just stop buying Sony items however as they are not doing so great on that front already.

Waaay ahead of ya there, buddy. I’ve been deliberately boycotting Sony since at least the rootkit in 2005, and I think the newest Sony product I actually bought was a Walkman cassette player.

Trouble is, Sony somehow still went right on existing as a huge multinational corporation for the last 20 years anyway. It’s almost as if boycotts aren’t enough and we actually need consumer protection law. 🤔

Revoke Sony’s corporate charter? Ban Sony products from being imported? Criminally charge the CEO and board?

• It’s a full controller, no “only one joystick” like the 2015 model.

This is 16-bit controller slander.

I also have a pair of underused Steam Controllers, and a Steam Link to go with them. Turns out I just don’t care about gaming on my TV.

I find it hilarious that a government is sponsoring something with “UwU” in the name.

And I berate you!

Can’t get suspended if you weren’t accepted in the first place.

Edmund Burke was English. Joseph de Maistre was Sardinian. Conservatism isn’t just a US thing.

On the contrary: MAGA is the truest expression of conservatism the US has ever had.

Craving to be subjugated and ruled by a dictator is and always was what conservatism has been about, all the way back to literal monarchists Burke and de Maistre. Any other definitions about “conserving” or whatever are just lies they tell to bullshit their marks.

I doubt many people would’ve been trying to use PC-DOS or MS-DOS as a server in 1996. More likely Novell NetWare, OS/2 Warp, or maybe Windows NT.

This. Expecting me to select from the drop-down on every single comment even though 99% of what I post is in the same language just isn’t realistic.

I’ve got a BIOS ROM chip sitting here on my desk waiting to be flashed with Libreboot as we speak.

How sad that you’re so desperately grasping at straws in order to simp for corporations.

Weird omission of Firefox.

It has to do with EVs in the sense that (practically speaking) every single one of them is new enough to be infested with surveillance, so (unlike with ICE) there’s no option to avoid it by going with an old vehicle.

Also, nobody gives a shit about new ICE cars, so there’s no point in mentioning them when they weren’t within the realm of consideration to begin with.
