Rant About Printers

Hewlett-Packard makes (or at least, used to make) a good color laser printer, which I have also owned. The drawback is that the color cartridges are expensive, and the definition of a picture is not as sharp as what you’re probably copying.

The funniest thing was in COVID or thereabouts that (temporary?) push for the disposable clothes.
Or sharing wardrobes/renting and returning them.
YOU CAN HAVE A NEW LOOK EVERY MONTH OMG

lol

eventually there will be pushback even for such technocratic skims, massive one guess, on what “dei” will surely introduce further systemic spins, if cant impose fast hijack through dependence!

one from top of my head after eventual controlled ordo’ab’chao ww3 circumstances would be ink quality, hm. how long lasts the Ink of home laser printers?, it should be 50 to 100 years [1][1][1] I’ve noticed on some earlier prints of mine, that after decade or so, depending on the storage circumstances, the HP laser printed ink is evaporating!, maybe in question is some local counterfeit cartridge skim tho?

for sure this kind of spin can easily drop in “deir” future technocracy menu, whatever so total control would be imposed as norm without alternative, how else to be secured totalitarian n’w’o than instant total hijack of all means that can serve “dem” later at least for blackmail, or at best for securing means for restraining independent circulation of free ideas around … but even then, probably and surely, we will always find will at least for middle age peasant rebellion printing response [2]

Concur with the B&W only laser printers. That’s what I’ve had for the past 7 years or so (maybe more). The thing about the laser printers is they use dry ‘ink’ so no nozzles and bottles to dry out. I can use it once every 6 months and always works fine.

Just hang on to your old printers (avoid updates, the latest features are never new or better), the timeline is as such, soon they will require internet connection and membership on their website to work then a monthly subscription to use “your paid for printer” at home.
Think Adobe, windows Office or any video game console!
YOU WILL PAY FOR AND OWN NOTHING AND BE HAPPY :rofl:

I have two Brother printers and buy off-brand ink cartridges from eBay. It’s very cost-effective, and the print quality is not professional but good.

Start saving your information in files such as Open Office. Keep those files safe on hard drives that can not be accessed without using a password. Books can be scanned and saved to these programs on your air-gapped, password protected computer drives. Those files can be printed on paper, and the original files will be your backup.

The Information Age certainly seems to have generated worry and concern about lost information and how to stem off the possibility of that loss.

I am reading Financial Vipers by the good Doktor here and think of all the information we lost when Alexandria was burned and then when Constantinople was sacked. The Romans couldn’t save everything and then neither could the Venetians. If they had even wanted to.

Keep the juicy bits and let the peasants get stupider.

Thanks to the printing press and the Internet with the massive distribution network of the modern age, the suppression and destruction of knowledge is much more difficult.
