  • Consumables drop in cost per page the more you pay for the printer. Business printer consumables are cheaper per page.

    Lasers are often overkill for many home owners who print a few dozen pages per year. Also, Lasers are inferior for printing photos. Even a cheap inkjets if printing on photo paper are way superior for photos. That said, pay services are the better option for most.

    I print quite a bit, so I own a BW Brother for volume, and an Epson for photos and other stuff. I realize I-m not a n average user, though.

    I generally use compatible cartridges. I can buy toner for my Brother for something like 15 25 Euro from amazon, and carts for Epson for 25 Euro for an 8 pack. They work fine. BTW, I bought the brother laser, new, in the box, from a second hand marketplace for 60 Euro. Basic printer, not a MFP, no scanner, b duplex but not wifi, which is probably why they sold it, probably a mistake buy and outside the return window.


  • It is not. It’s precisely because I don’t wish to disrespect others that I wish there was an acceptable way to address others in a way where I couldn’t inadvertently call someone something they don’t want if I’m not aware of their preference. That’s why I advocate for respectful, neutral pronouns. I’m fine if we do away with him/her, whatever. Replace it with whatever. Thou? Ot, Om, OS? I don’t know. I wish for a way for people to be them, not labels. I believe that the way to equality is making gender a non issue.






  • While I personally prefer this, I’m going to guess that the majority of people are generally not going to be using more than 2 or three usb ports at once. My take is that for most people, 2 Cs, an A, DP or HDMI would be optimal.

    The availability of BT and wifi peripherals make this acceptable for many.

    I still have a cutting plotter that uses RS232, but that’s connected to an oldish desktop, on the network, so a laptop never gets connected physically.

    I’m not saying that this is good, simply that this is probably acceptable for many.
