I dont see how the burden of proof is on Brother.

There is no "burden of proof" at all. Anyone is welcome to provide proof at any time.

If you're looking for verification from tens of thousands of other printer users and hearing crickets, i think you have your answer.

I didn't look.

The burden of proof should be on whoever is making a claim. If someone accuses me of doing something with no evidence, my verbal denial shouldn't be skeptical without proof. Brother isn't in a position that they should require to provide proof against the claim being made against them. I didn't see any mention in the article of other user's printers being bricked aside from the original claim from 2022. Maybe some further investigation would come up with something, but claims made on Reddit posts and YouTube videos hardly count as proof of anything.

Maybe I misinterpreted either your previous comments or what the article is saying. But I can agree with that.
