"No" is the most accurate I could ever have imagined for Inkjet Printers

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

Not to be confused with “No.”

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

What about "angry robot demands ink sacrifice"?

[–] [email protected] 43 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I thought this was a D&D alignment chart at first... And yes, Inkjet printers are chaotic evil.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I think they're lawful evil, more devils than demons.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

yes because unfortunately selling printer ink at higher prices than human blood is somehow completely legal

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I would say it's pretty accurate across the grid, but I'd swap HDD and ram. HDD is chaotic neutral, because it can turn into a maraca at any moment.

It's more unreliable than SSD?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

absolutely.

Inkjet: uses yellow ink to dye paper.

But what if it's just black text?

Inkjet: USES YELLOW INK TO DYE PAPER

Gotta put on those invisible tracking codes.

The EFF were tracking which printers print the invisible tracking dots, but they gave up because practically all colour inkjet and laser printers do it now. https://www.eff.org/pages/list-printers-which-do-or-do-not-display-tracking-dots

HDD - Remembers numbers loudly is on point for 90s/2000s disk drives. 😂

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

... server/enterprise level HDDs are loud af, I swear some brands are dedicated to it.

That leaves us only with the tiny WD Red Plus (but not Red Pro), above 20TB afaik only Exos (from X21 onwards) doesn't alert the neighbours.

But in (second half-ish?) of 90s HDDs differed a lot in terms of loudness. I was one of those nerds with custom (fully home made) water loop just to achieve some level of quietness.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

With those jet engine fans they are quiet by comparison lol.

TIL printers are computer components

Hey my inkjet with refillable tanks isn't so bad

Stage 1: Denial

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Which one is it? The one I have still has an overflow/nozzle cleaning sponge that bricks the printer when it's full

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Oh yeah that whole thing is fucking stupid but bypassable depending on model

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah will see what I can do once it starts complaining

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

So you need to hack it and violate warranty to make it work? And this is just fine? On a product you paid for?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

HP will brick your shit remotely on these.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

Needs more jpeg

Is the FPU a reference to the Pentium FDIV bug?? What a throwback.

Where is the tracking device for remembering numbers remotely?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

That’s wifi or Bluetooth.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Laserprinters use different colored lasers for multi-color printing.

I know. I was kidding 😛

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

You still forgot the numbers part! The most important detail!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

We don't talk about bubble jet.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I love my inkjet. It's so nice to be able to do my own high quality prints for the wall and for friends.
