What's next? are they going to have to scan your anus to confirm that it's actually you printing things? I shouldn't give them ideas. By the way, I'm sure there's a way to get into the firmware of the printer to disconnect it from that centralized service. permalink fedilink source hideshow 16 child comments replies: [–] Shard@lemmy.world 33 points 3 years ago Or get the brother printer while they're still good. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Ddhuud@lemmy.world 30 points 3 years ago (4 children) What's next?
