Printers need love and care as well like any mechanics ;-)

Printers are cheap crap that can be obtained with a couple supermarket coupons. Meant to be discarded when the  ink runs out.

I‘m not sure to agree since there is an Ecosys P4140dn/KL3 in front of me and I can‘t figure out where this ink reservoir is located ;-)

Printers! 😡

This one's actually been fairly good over the years. I don't print much, and the cartridge running out was really just a case of an annoying coincidence; it'd been around five years since I last changed it.

People jumping into conversations even though they have stated they have no interest in it, and then jump back in trying to rail road or shut the conversation down along with having the last word which turns out to be incorrect.

IMO simply if something doesn't interest you, butt out.

Another for the day. The NZ Warriors continuoisly losing games by 1 or 2 points and under 6. Zero defense this year, terrible halves and nobody knowing how to close out a game when in front. ugggggh. Would be in top 8 if they had a classy half or 5/8th.

We have back-ups of a sort. Our phone also depends on Internet of course. We have a Constant Vigil unit which is very good, very inexpensive, and sufficient to keep the router and ATA going for a day or so. With one of the laptops that gives us emergency Internet. With an old analogue phone I kept for just this purpose, we can still make calls during a power failure (we don't use cell phones). We stream TV as a matter of preference, but also have a satellite receiver which gives us TV backup when the Internet goes down.

Open a file in Apple Xcode, make some changes for testing, close the file, choose not to save. It saves anyway, 'corrupting' my file. Fortunately I had a backup, but how on earth do these companies get away with releasing software with bugs like that?!

chromebooks and office 365. what an absolute PITA to use

One like this Kyocera M3040dn? Currently $65 dollars with 6 hours left on the auction. 2 years old and I think said in excellent condition, as used in small office.

neb: in general business-grade Kyocera printers are a good deal, .

Well it sold for $71.60 and sounded like it was in excellent condition and only 2 years old. If we go to get another printer, I will take your advice and use it. Thanks
