    Has HP printers always been this bad?
  • I beg to differ.

    The old LaserJet 4s, 5s, the IIs and IIIs, the 8000 series, all those were great, well built printers with metal frames and heavy duty parts. They were made to last.

    We still have a LaserJet 5M that prints reports hooked up to an airgapped Linux server. The printer never breaks down or needs anything more than toner. Yes, it's slow. Amusingly slow. The page count is over 250k. The fuser is starting to ghost but it's easily replaced. We just don't care enough to do it right now. The printer doesn't care.

    Try this with any printer built after the Fiorina era and you'd be hard pressed to.

    I'm all ears if you have a specific model in mind that was shit before Carly. Because, before her, HP was an industry leader. Now it's cheap plastic junk, and it's squarely on her failure as CEO that led to the company's demise.

  • Carly Fiorina destroyed HP. She tanked product quality by using cheap plastic parts instead of metal and she can't manage people. She's a terrible leader and on a personal level she's just not right in the head, as she embraces trumpism, is racist, elitist, etc.

  • "Hosts" indeed, at least pick one...
  • Big city mandatory valet comes to my mind.

  • relationship is falling apart
  • Yes, this person is right. When your relationship involves flowcharts, that's work.

    Granted we don't know the rest of the story (her side) I'd agree that this relationship is over.

    I'm so sorry mate. You deserve much better.

  • couldn't help it
  • ARRL lost me after they shut down their entire website for days to upgrade it. Who thought that would be a good idea? You run old and new sites concurrently, then bring the new one online once it's ready. You don't shut off the old server for several days.

    That lack of common sense is a blocker for me.

  • Collecting feedbacks about fediverse experience
  • Sorry, but your questions are difficult to understand. Could you please clarify what you are researching? The fediverse isn't some metaphysical thing.

    What is your curiosity?

  • Halloween is coming up. What's the plan?
  • I was zoom-scrolling Lemmy on my phone, saw this post, almost passed it. Had to stop though.

    I'm older, never been into Halloween. I have fun passing out candy, which suits my family fine. I don't like makeup and costumes feelweird to me.

    Thanks to therapy I came to realize that I had a lot of trauma pertaining to clothing and my appearance that I never quite recognized nor addressed. You see, I was bullied and physically assaulted relentlessly in school because my clothes were never the right brand, color, or style. My parents had five other kids besides me so there wasn't a ton of money to buy the latest trendy shit from whatever store even sells that stuff. To this day I buy everything from one store that I'm comfortable with, where clothes fit and look good on me. For that reason I'm still conservative when it comes to clothes because for so long I attributed dressing differently as being physically punished.

    However this year I think I am going to be adventurous and dress up as my celeb look-alike. I have one in mind and for once I am go to just enjoy myself and let loose a bit.
