I’ll start: printers.

I bought an HP in March 2020 when my job went remote and HP bricked it remotely after only 100 pages because I wouldn’t sign up for their subscription program. Ended up trashing a perfectly good printer.

Luckily my library’s close by and I can print there remotely.

    That’s aggravating. It’s paid for by our taxes here in KC. Each user gets an allotment. (I think it’s daily, but not sure.)

      For responsible printing that’s wonderful.

      At our library I quickly learned that people want to just print entire reams of nonsense, like web pages that were clearly not made for printing and waste entire pages on like one graphic, and then 35 pages of comments because this person didn’t know how to select certain pages or use “print preview”

      …So they pay 10¢ a page. Lol
