  • Thirded. Get an Brother inkvestment model. No bullshit, it just does your bidding, like a printer should. And the ink lasts a very long time.

    Yes, everyone says get a B&W laser printer. If that fits your needs do so. We have kids that want or need to print in color fairly often, and color laser was out of the question last time we purchased.

    Brother is the now only brand I look at after decades of buying consumer printers. If absolutely forced not to buy Brother, I’d go with Epson. I used to love Canon, but each model started incorporating more and more bullshit, and I found their ink to be both expensive and short lived. HP is the king of printer bullshit, but Canon seems to want to sit on their court in recent years.






  • You should try Linux because you want to and find it interesting to learn. If you are doing it because other people told you to, you are going to have a bad time.

    Linux isn’t Windows with different branding. Things work differently, and if you take the time to understand why you’ll usually see the logic eventually, even if you may not to agree with it. I think folks are bristling a bit at your implication that things are hard on purpose somehow. Many experienced users find the terminal easier to use and more efficient; it shouldn’t shock anyone (including you) that it’s going to feel awkward when you don’t understand it yet.

    Howtos tend to use the terminal because it’s likely to work the same for everyone regardless of what other choices they’ve made with desktop environment, etc.

    You can do nearly everything with a GUI if you choose.








  • LMPD Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel: “I would’ve activated it if I had it on.”

    Attorney Nick Naiser: “That’s your story and you are sticking to it.”

    Chief Gwinn-Villaroel: “That’s my statement.”

    Attorney Naiser: “I want to show the jury some truth and transparency. Where’s the footage chief? Did you delete it?”

    Attorney Naiser showed the courtroom a photo of the LMPD chief wearing the body camera in question.

    Chief Gwinn-Villaroel responded to the evidence with a question, “Is this the day of the incident?”

    Attorney Naiser: “Seven, six, and twenty-one. How are we supposed to believe you?”

    In a statement following the incident, the LMPD Chief admits she “misspoke.”
