  Why is the ghost of Mark Twain haunting your scanner?

  • EnsignWashout@startrek.website ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    It’s an acronym: T.W.A.I.N.

    “Technology without an interesting name.”

    And… That’s all I remember about it, at the moment.

    Well, also that it broke often, and threw weird errors like the one pictured.

  I seem to remember some annoying shit called TWAIN from decades ago, which was always giving me errors and headache. Is that still a thing?

    It still is, it’s a standard for imaging devices. Honestly aside from it being annoying, it was and is a decent attempt at a standard for scanners coming from an era of driver standards as a pipe dream. Try that with printers, ever. And also a nightmare.

      Oh, thank you. I had forgotten that!

      And also a nightmare.

      Yes. Now that the memories are coming back, I do notice most of them aren’t very nice…

  I always hated “Error: No Error Has Occurred”

  Mainly because it had no button to close or acknowledge, so you had to reset your machine.

  NAPS2 is great but also incredibly painful

  If you can setup driverless printing
