@palestine

Remember these two kids, #brother and #sister, whose names we do not know? Their picture went viral early on during the #genocide. We do not know if they are still alive or meanwhile #MurderedByIsrael but #Palestinian #artist Osama Artzidan has made a homage to their love and affection among siblings.

Happy Birthday, Dad

Today is my father’s birthday. The first since he passed away last summer. I’m going to be sad today. I think that’s a given. When I was really little we used to watch reruns of Star Trek together (even though it often gave me nightmares). I’m watching Star Trek right now. Just because.

It’s also tax day in the united states. Your income tax return forms are due today. My father had a tax prep business. Tax day falling on his birthday was a sign somehow. These days my brother is a CPA so tax day is a big deal for him too. In that spirit, allow me to wish all accountants and bookkeepers a Happy Tax Day in honor of my father and my brother and also my mother who used to help with Dad’s tax business. Get through today and then you’re free until January. Sort of. I know you’re never truly finished with tax season. There’s always something more to work on.

It's that time of the year again :) The 2025 Update is here. With Gemini AI writing half of the article.

"This is the third year in a row that I’ve published a story recommending you just stop thinking about printers and buy whatever random Brother laser printer is on sale, and nothing has happened in the miserably user-hostile printer industry to change my recommendation in that time." — Nilay Patel, The Verge

Looking for #Linux help, if you're so inclined.

I am (gods help me) trying to get a #Brother printer/scanner working in #Debian 12 / #Gnome 43.9 on a #Thinkpad #T480S.

Before a recent reintallation of hte OS, the #CUPS driver used to work for printing but not scanning, *and* the Brother Linux printer drivers used to make the scanner work, too.

But now, neither works, and I get the error message: "Unable to locate printer" (followed by the correct IP address).

UPDATE: NOT TRUE Now that #Brother printers are joining the Dark Side of The Force with their firmware updates that start to look for original toner cartridges,

This story has been debunked and Brother has clearly stated that they do NOT check for original toner/ink in normal operation but do prefer original cartridges when troubleshooting, which makes sense.

Thanks to all who replied, I will happily stick with Brother :)

@ComputerBase Ich hab die Tintenpisser und Laserdrucker fast zwei Jahrzehnte lang verkauft, vertrieben und auch teilweise programmiert.

Eines kann man heute sagen mit Blick auf ALLE noch verbliebene Hersteller: Der Konsument wird abgezogen, abgezockt, betrogen, belogen und komplett verarscht!!!

Nach 2 HP Totalkatastrophen, ich hab u. a. für den Laden gearbeitet früher, hab ich jetzt einen alten s/w Laserdrucker von #brother für 25 Euro hier stehen. Langt für meine Zwecke. Plus #canon Scanner.

@mathowie This absolutely happened to me. I bought a pack of 2 compatible toner cartridges. I installed one and everything was fine. Then I left the (Internet-connected) printer alone for a few weeks and went on holiday. I came back to a 'no toner cartridge installed' error. Huh? I unwrapped the other cartridge. Same. Before scrapping the printer I bought a #Brother brand cartridge which worked. The bastards did an OTA patch that nixed 3rd party consumables. #louisrossmann
