I came up with this joke when I was asleep, so forgive me if it's not very funny

I really just don't like White Christmas (the 1954 film, in case there are others). My wife plays it every year. It gets worse each year.

@tadzik It certainly lacks coherence, but still funny in a random way. The middle row made me giggle.

Jacket Feb 14, 2024

@tadzik I would say no to any printer with the state of the industry. XD

@jacket Hah, I picked "The Brother Laser Printer that everyone has" for the other image for a reason :)

Best printer 2023: just buy this Brother laser printer everyone has, it’s fine

The best printer to buy is the one that works without you needing to think about it or subscribe to some nonsense ink refill thing. For most people, that’s the Brother HL-L2305W or something like the MFC-L2750DW that adds a scanner.

@tadzik My! That looks good!

@jacket They aren't lying either. I have a DCP-1512E and it Just Works. The toner check does seem to have *some* software component in it, since taking it out, shaking it and putting it back in didn't make it print any more pages. But other than that, good stuff, and it was pretty cheap if I remember correctly.

@tadzik @jacket Full Ack - I have the HL-2250DN since 2011 and it just works for the 10 prints (at most), I have to do every year. It still has the first toner cartridge in it...

@tadzik @jacket and Brother even provides native drivers for Linux

Jacket Feb 14, 2024

@MagicLike @tadzik I remember HP being like that a long time ago.

@tadzik @jacket this is getting sidetracked, but can you give us some estimation on how many pages you can print with a cartridge and how much it costs?

The meme was great fun, btw. Kudos.

tadzik Feb 16, 2024

@Disputatore @jacket Oh, I have no clue. I bought it 5-ish years ago and replaced a toner last year, but I couldn't tell you how many pages it did with one.

@tadzik @jacket you used the same cartridge for four years?! That's excellent. I mean, it depends on how often you print.

tadzik Feb 16, 2024

@Disputatore @jacket Yeah, not very often :P I mostly need a scanner for work, I print things less than once a month, so something that doesn't dry up like the ink cartridge is a must.

@tadzik @jacket there's a jet printer in my house against my will. I never even considered a laser printer as, no colours, and also thought it would be too expensive in the long run. I guess I was wrong on the second one.

🇨🇦 Steve Feb 16, 2024

@Disputatore @tadzik @jacket I used to have to print 60 copies of documents fairly regularly and the toner still lasted years. I’ve definitely replaced it more than once over 10 years, though.

@tewha @tadzik @jacket how could I have failed so miserably? Well, in my defence, I believe the original intention included color printing.

@tadzik Just... brilliant. Never doubt yourself.

@tadzik Inkjet printer: pisses numbers onto paper

@cato @tadzik My Canon printer: refuses numbers onto paper

Frank Hightower Feb 14, 2024

@proeiszeitdeaf @cato @tadzik I need magenta

@FrankHghTwr @cato @tadzik Mine is just sexists. It refuses to print for me but when my husband clicks the button, it happily vomits paper after paper! (Torn and without print but still …)

Frank Hightower Feb 14, 2024

@proeiszeitdeaf @cato @tadzik As a guy who does get the printer to print when the girls don't: it's all in the "slam" of the paper tray 😉

@FrankHghTwr @cato @tadzik He doesn’t do anything like that. He just clicks «print» on my computer.

Well, it showed up in my feed from being boosted, so it can't be that bad.
I'll give you a giggle, and a boost. You earned it.

@Dennis5891 Thank you. I feel validated – in my sleep!

@tadzik what's the last one? An HP printer?

@tadzik very good. My yr8s may actually remember something from this.
Minor mod - laser melts numbers?

@grant_h Ah, that'd indeed be more fitting. I'll keep it in mind for the v2 :)

@tadzik yeah, the last entry rulez!

The Micro Channel Feb 14, 2024

@tadzik Keeping with the simple language you could change CPU, FPU and GPU to “counts,” “counts smaller” and “draws triangles.” I get where you’re going with the inkjet printer. I wonder if there’s something funnier to say that captures the frustration of using one.
