Well, the question for me back then was printing wide, so the selection was quite limited from the start. And laser was completely out of the equation, as anything printing wider than 21cm was industrial (size of a bus and price of a house) back then.
Don’t worry, I consider lasers, too.
It will probably be either a Brother Inkbenefit or an Epson Ecotank model.
A Canon printer. Not just a simple one, but a big (wide) one with real ink tanks, about 20 years ago.
Under Linux, I could only access basic printing services with that, and this only by using a default driver not made by Canon that happened to work. So I contacted Canon to get a proper user manual to create a proper device driver for this (something I could have done without problems), and basically got the answer that they would not support this, as “open source is theft of intellectual property”. They also had some very choice words about Linux in general.
I assumed I just got an asshole on the phone, so when I attended Cebit a short time later (back then the biggest trade fair in Europe for things like that), I went to the Canon booth, explained my issue, and basically got the same reply. So I sold the Canon printer and bought an HP one. At least HP supported Linux and supplied working drivers. Sadly, they have really gone down the drain since that, so the next printer will be a different brand again…
I only tried GNOME long enough to see how crap it is, and have been a happy KDE user for years.
Well, I was not that far off. ‘Spamford’ Wallace founded “Cyber Promotions” on 1997. While there have been unsolicided emails even way before that, they had not been an issue: Whoever did them got a clue-by-four from the network community and that’s it. SPAM started to be a problem with ‘Spamford’ Wallace.
OK, you got me there. For me, EMail-SPAM is still a new thing, because I still remember the time before.
SPAM. Not the food variety, but the other. Inventend by a lawyer.
Part of the problem is that some seller cram loads of words into the article that have no real connection to the article as such.
Try purchasing wires or electronic components from Amazon. Same shit, only worse.
A Cheese and Chilli spread with 10% carbs, most of which will probably sugar…
Get used to it. It is not your machine, its Microsofts.
Yes, this would work with most applications.
This looks more like the boards they used in the 60s and 70s in prototyping. I have done such a board myself in my youth. All 40xx and 74LSxx DIL chips and a plain dot board. And a sh-tload of patching wire where I had to remove the isolation paint before I could solder that stuff.
I don’t think you could build a working GPU with that wirewrap technology, the frequncies needed are simply to high.
Dr. Google MD at its best.
I seem to remember that frequently wiping ones nose is a sign of regular cocaine consumption.
Went to a party at friends. A girl I was hoping to get more than friends with was there, too, and she was in a good and even flirty mood.
Then she left to pick someone up at the train station. Came back with a wet towel kind of guy and introduced them to everybody as her fiancée.
Everyone was shocked, not only me. She was the kind of girl who could have had anyone, and she dragged in that.
And this update outside active hours will have a good chance to “fix” your privacy settings again. Without you noticing. One basically needs a tool that confirms that your privacy settings are still active. And then wait how long it takes Microsoft to declare that tool as “malware”.
While there are ways to disable some aspects, most people don’t even know how to disable what they theoretically could.
When my heart stopped beating in the middle of the night.
Luckily, the human body has mechanisms to force start a heart again. Not funny, though, 0/10, don’t recommend.
