For me the downside is the precedent it sets. Yes, most of us agree getting rid of TikTok is a good thing, but how long until they start banning other sites “for the children”? How long until they target federated sites they can’t control “for the children”?

To top it off, it doesn’t solve the data harvesting problem their so scared of with TikTok. They only care about that one because the data is going to China. Instagram and others can stay because they are American companies spying on citizens.

The real question is can you source ink for it?

Preferably 3rd party, but a quick look shows HP ink on sale for $20 at Walmart.

As for the printer itself, never connect it to the internet. If your router has the right features, you should be able to get it on the network without giving it internet. You shouldnt need to update unless whatever version it’s on happened to be broken.

Woke up in a horse drawn cart headed to some kind of military cult execution. Ended up escaping due to an unscheduled train.

Yes, but if all Jedi are trained the way described, do any of the masters know how to deal with emotions?

This is how to properly build up a tool set.

Dropping thousands on tools you might need js silly.

Buy the cheap version first. Its very easy to end up with a pile of unused tools that you thought would change your life, but you only used them once or twice

Once the tool gets worn out/broken or you find the tool can’t do everything you need it to do, then it is time to look into something nicer.

The recent macbooks are heading back in the right direction.

I think a lot of the complants come from wanting a portable computer/setup, and having a hub or a bunch of adapters takes away the portability.

I think the ideal I/O for me would be;

• Power
• 4x USBc (displayport, high speed, etc.)
• 1x USBA (flash drives are still mostly A, and if you have a wireless USB mouse, not needing an adapter or dealing with bluetooth is great)
• 3.5 headphone/mic combo jack
• Ethernet
• HDMI, at least until more monitors have USBC inputs, although having an adapter cable isn’t too bad.

This is where I like framework approach with the customizable IO, but I think they need to shrink the blocks to give 6-8 ports. 4 is simply not enough, with one used up for power.

They said replaced, not gotten rid of.

Just be prepared for the yelling when she finds out and crys about it.

Dump some into a nontransparent water bottle; you get your soda, your ex doesn’t have to see it and be “tempted” by it.

That does suck. The stuff with the Father I get. The soda ban I’d let slide, especially if it’s a recent change.

But banning flavor is criminal.

What are you looking to get out of your dumb phone experience?

It sounds like you want/need the smart phone part, but not the doom scroll and spyware part.

For that I offer the following advice;

Step 1 is to delete all unnecessary apps. Keep 1 or 2 time killers, preferably puzzle games or something not related to endless scrolling, that you can start/stop anytime.

If you have one, make an old phone your “entertainment” device. This is for things like Lemmy and whatever else you do fun/pass time. Leave it the bathroom or at your spot to relax. This way you can get your internet fix, but it doesn’t follow you throughout the day.

Step 2 is to make sure you set your notifications right, only communication from actual people (text/call) and important stuff like work/bank emails should make noise. Everything else can shove off.

On the spyware front, Pixel+Graphine OS is a good option, it does works with MS authenticator.

The one with the lightning connector that none of their new devices have and there’s a million 3rd party options for old phones?

Gee what a surprise they don’t want to make them anymore!!! /s

Don’t over think it, call is the Augmented Reality Sunlight Absorption Headset with AI.

I know their article is bogus, but I could see some one trying claiming this…

“Omg this peanut butter didn’t say it contained peanut butter, so I thought it was safe for little Billy. Now he’s dead and its all their fault for not labeling the peanut butter properly”

standardebooks.org is a great site for reading classics.

They make very nicely formated ebooks for our enjoyment. Defiantly better than the wall of text you’ll get from the .txt version or a lazily converted ebub.

Last time I was gifted socks…they were the wrong one (somehow, I get my socks from Walmart, so I’m not too picky, or so I thought). I’m pretty sure it was an amazon special - anyways now I tell everyone I’m super picky about socks or that I have 20 pairs already.

the 3rd road; Be awkward by making random noises.
