Or get the brother printer while they’re still good.

Every time I think printers can’t get any worse, they get worse.
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.

The firmware will ask for a tip every 10 pages.

I can’t imagine why it wouldn’t. The companies that make printers have always been scamming people with their printers and all the shitty things the printers do.
They’re designed to be shitty and expensive on purpose so that you have to call the guy to fix it and pay an enormous amount of money every time the printer stops working by design.

If they could get away with it, they would have made paper that only works on their printer, and it would be more expensive than normal paper but you have to use it.

Why not just not allow it to connect to any internet and use wired printing?

Even better!

Actually, someone already came up with the idea of anal fingerprinting, albeit in another context: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJklHwoYgBQ

Printed ads.
EmperorHenry@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Yes
CrowAirbrush@lemm.ee 10 months ago
I would think it plays an ad on the screen and you have to touch it to start so it knows you’re there and doesn’t print until the ad is finished.
Geriatrickid@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I can picture it, if you don’t want ads printed at the bottom of every page you have to subscribe.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Oh god, imagine your printer waking you up at 3 am as it spits out an ad for Arby’s. But hey, ink at half price!
