Yes. Cars are turning into pieces of shit that need a subscription because techbros made them too complicated for an average person to understand. Appliances, same story. Techbros are turning goddamn printers into a subscription service.
- lotsofpulp 3y agoI guess I will have to disagree. My cars have been lasting longer and longer, and the cost per mile keeps going down. My appliances have also been working fine for 5+ years. LG inverter motor is dead silent in my fridge, and I get the benefits of having a French door fridge on top and freezer drawer on the bottom. Same for all the other appliances I have too. I don’t expect them to last 20 years, but as long as I get 5 to 10, I’m ok with it considering the price I paid. My brother printers have been working fine for many years, and at least as of 2021, the MFC printers did not need a subscription. Maybe things have changed and I haven’t needed to buy anything in the last couple years.

- lotsofpulp 3y agoI have this one and it works great. No subscription needed or any funny business. https://www.brother-usa.com/products/mfcl2710dw https://www.brother-usa.com/products/mfcl2710dw
