That was my gut reaction, but that logic also perpetuated leaded fuel.

None taken! I have already moved on to laser printers. It is literally one less problem in my house. I can't imagine freaking out and trying to get just a few more pages from my printer, but I was there once.
You are right. The article is actually about how you decided to use the correct strategy.
I can't see it being healthy for us in the long term.
Meta will only make decisions to increase profits. They have demonstrated this time and again be taking advantage of elections, the pandemic, and poor leadership to spread hate and misunderstood - this drives user engagement.
Meta cannot stand to have this content where they cannot get to it easily. They feel they they must have this content in order to show growth.
Their only obligation is to provide growth to their shareholders. This means that they do not need to play fair. They will want to control the platform. As femboy link pointed out, this did not go well for XMPP working with Google and Microsoft did not play well with Open Office.
The end game for this offer is that there is only a Metaverse where Meta-approved conversations happen. I would sooner create an OSS Facebook alternative where you federate with those you wish than allow Meta into our domain.
Facebook still does this to me. I log in via Web app now.
Sometimes you could rescue them by blotting them on an alcohol soaked paper towel.
Ass is one of the great filters of tech evolution.
The real cost of an inkjet is that one needs to buy ink regardless of whether they print. It tends to dry out over a few months. If you don't happen to use all the 100-200 pages, the money is wasted.
In the past, just because the printer was on sale, I have been able to buy a cheap printer for less than new ink.
I bought a brother a couple of years ago for just under $200. That was the cost of 4 sets of ink. I have replaced the toner a couple of times at $17 each. Each replacement has lasted me a few thousand pages.
This was a replacement to a pair of brother printers of the same model I obtained via yard sale for a total cost of $10. These yard sale printers would have lasted longer if not for small children and dogs.
I have probably printed 6k pages for the cost of $180 over the course of several years. Most of the printing has been school work for kids and forms in general.
I was interested in the beginning, but after the initial hype it just seemed to be a lot of people running scams. I'm sad I didn't gather a bunch early on, but I only would have sold it in/by 2020. I didn't have any use for it but to hold it until it was profitable to sell.
Someone actually wrote that? It reads like AI generated fluff.
At that current it would be much better to break it into numerous smaller connectors.
Here is a test comment. I was having trouble posting elsewhere.
