As someone who works with printers for a living this is insulting to the printers. They function at least most the time.

Oh, Brother!
Tap for spoiler
Get it?
As a Tesla owner: 💯
tries to start car; gets warning on dash
"low on cyan"
So then it won't start at all, even though you're only trying to drive on a black and white road and cyan wouldn't be anywhere involved...ugh!

Unless your printer is brother. Then I wish my car was like my printer.
As a happy owner of a Brother printer, can confirm. The worst thing I can think about my printer is that its menus are in Spanish.
I've never had any problems with my Tesla 3. I wouldn't buy another because Musk, of course. But the car's been solid.
Same, we bought one before Musk went mask off. We're closing on 180,000 KM and have only needed to replace the upper control arms, which was covered by warranty.
You're lucky, then, I think. My nephew's 3 never got right. After a year of ownership they finally agreed to take it back, mostly to avoid a lawsuit, I think.
The fit and finish was also pretty atrocious, but I reckon most people don't really notice.
Not bothered by the safety issues?
I learned how to use the door knobs, if that's what you mean?
You wouldn't download a printer
I like it, but it’s even worse than that as I’ve never had my printer murder motorcyclists or trap me inside and burn my body into dust.
Don't worry. HP is working on this for their next firmware update.
Brb, buying every model of HP printer (gotta get a chance at going first, if you don't shoot you can't score)
Haha of course they are. Fucking HP.
There was a bug in HP printers that let people remotely set them on fire.
No, see, we only call it a bug if it isn't meant to be in the software. In this case, it's a feature.
That's not from lack of desire, but ability.
The spirit is willing, but the cord is short.
Man, imagine a printer with arms. You’re not surviving the night.
I got a shotgun, though. I think I've got a chance.
I’ve never had my printer murder motorcyclists
But I suspect it would if it could.
In the early 2000s my hp printer had a paper jam and the error message from cups was “printer on fire!”
While telling you it can't open the door because it's out of magenta.
And it being a Nazi brand.
TBF so is IBM (actual Nazis, not just fascist fanboys).
No shit? Like historically or up through the modern era or newly so or what?
Historically. IBM provided tech and expertise facilitating the holocaust.
I was considering if I should work for IBM. Maybe I need to do a little reading on that, any sources you recommend?
Edwin Black's book IBM and the Holocaust is the principle source. IBM denies this accounting but I found Black's case compelling and his book cites primary sources in the form of Nazi documents and eyewitnesses in Poland.
Thanks, I'll check it out soon. Appreciate every little new bit of knowledge in this sick world.
Don’t you dare slander my printer so
Right? If I want to print something it'll print.
If I want to drive a Tesla, I don't want it to call for the genocide of Jews.
