Uh... Everytime I want to print something on my HP Smart AI web printer for Microsoft Windows 10 S edition with Microsoft™ Copilot Office 356 Copilot app (Office 365 operated by 21Vianet version) with a Clipchamp link, the system makes another printer device.

Maybe I should just switch to one of the GOOD operating systems. Which one though...

macOS Tahoe 26.3 beta

you shouldn't ignore just a sharp stick repeatedly jammed into your eye socket if you're looking at these other possibilities.

@paul_ipv6 Yeah, but I don't even know which Stick-as-a-Service is better 😞

Paul_IPv6 Jan 11

i hear oracle virtual cloud stick is pretty sharp

salesforce has announced a pending stick product but it's not in general release yet.

microsoft has chosen to include this in copilot as an on demand AI assistant, called "sticky".

disney has announced a new animated musical, with a theme song "stick". the 83rd time your kids make you play it, you claw your own eyes out.

@paul_ipv6 @catsalad But which tier should I get? with which features enabled? and do we need to discuss payment terms? Way too confusing.

@paul_ipv6 @catsalad This is why I don't do memes.

@jbaggs @paul_ipv6 @catsalad "smart AI printer", and from HP. LOL did you give it a lifetime subscription fee yet on threat of having your knees broken with a crowbar? There is nothing in that list of hardware/software which wouldn't, individually, make me take the hardware/software out in the yard and pound on it with a sledgehammer 🤪

Cat 🐈🥗 (D.Burch)

@ai6yr @jbaggs @paul_ipv6 It bullies me!!! 😭

AI6YR Ben Jan 11

@catsalad @jbaggs @paul_ipv6 😬 I treat any "new" HP hardware like it is possessed. It sounds like you need an exorcism.

@ai6yr @catsalad @jbaggs @paul_ipv6 shoot it. burn it. shoot it again. spray it with holy water. shoot it again.

AI6YR Ben Jan 11

@alex02 @catsalad @jbaggs @paul_ipv6 I think you need to stab it in the CPU with a silver dagger to be sure.

@ai6yr @catsalad @jbaggs @paul_ipv6 why not shoot it with a silver bullet?

Sam Oldman 🐀Jan 11

@alex02 @ai6yr @catsalad @jbaggs @paul_ipv6 I read this "shoot it again spray it with holy water" toot and said to myself "this is about printers again, isn't it"

@ai6yr @catsalad @jbaggs @paul_ipv6 Having a printer in one's home just takes so much space.

First the printer is kind of bulky, but then you also need space for the circle of salt to at least make sure the malevolent printer spirits keep to themselves.

Paul_IPv6 Jan 11

@catsalad @ai6yr @jbaggs

needs a time out.

no wifi for 60 minutes while it thinks about what it's done and why that's very, very wrong.

@catsalad @ai6yr @jbaggs @paul_ipv6 Epson is more subtle and crueler. It keeps reminding me, that I alone will be responsible for its death by mal-ink-nutrition.

@catsalad @ai6yr @jbaggs @paul_ipv6 that feels like a threat. "Where you're going you won't need ink to print"

Maybe we should stop ganging up on the poor innocent printers. 😝

@greatlaketrout @SmartmanApps @catsalad @ai6yr @jbaggs @simonwaight

if you choose to be a printer, you've proven you are not innocent. ;)

Is it really a choice? 🤦‍♂️

@catsalad Is your printer trying to coerce you into printing cat photos? 😆

Maybe that’s its motive?

@catsalad @ai6yr @jbaggs @paul_ipv6
that is why I switched to a tank printer

@Darkphoenix @ai6yr @jbaggs @paul_ipv6 You can print TANKS?! :O

Yes, but it constantly tells you you’re low on goldfish.

@catsalad @Darkphoenix @ai6yr @jbaggs @paul_ipv6 It's necessary to print tanks sometimes.

@aaron @catsalad @ai6yr @jbaggs @paul_ipv6 it would be helpful...

Paul_IPv6 Jan 11

@catsalad @Darkphoenix @ai6yr @jbaggs

how else can you print your "tank you" notes?

@catsalad @paul_ipv6 Is it a network printer? Make it foolproof or you will be in Singapore and get a phone call at 3am by a very mad lady who can not print her recipe and "there will be hell mister!" good times

@catsalad @paul_ipv6 Hoo boy, do I have a deal for you! You give me an allowance, and a pile of mulch in a damp corner of your yard, and I just... stick around.

@log @catsalad @paul_ipv6 yeah but what color are you? also, depending on what kind of species, depends on the environment you need to be in order to survive.

@log @catsalad @paul_ipv6 like does the stick-as-a-service let you choose the color and species?

Paul_IPv6 Jan 11

@alex02 @log @catsalad

it's like the cartoon about the ice cream parlor.

guy in an ice cream parlor, with the flavors listed on the wall: vanilla, wood chips, and liver

guy behind the counter: "sorry sir but we're all out of vanilla"

you can pick your stick, but they're always out of vanilla.

@alex02 @catsalad @paul_ipv6 I'm not tremendously picky, but if you give me pitchy softwoods, I'm 'a make my mushrooms bitter and emetic on purpose. We all gonna be happier with some maple, or oak. Or birch. Or... you know what, how about split a few logs from different species into wedges and glue them all together, like a buffet.
