Well, I don’t know about outside the universe, but you’re still not understanding how scaling works. And our technological progress. The simplest way I can put it is that at some point of compute, there is a crossover where you need less ma

I have a Brother printer from 2019 (HL 2340) that does not support IPP Everywhere. A lot of other printers from before ~2020 don’t either. You are (like so many other people) confusing IPP the protocol with IPP the driver, which is honestly

by jorvi 2y ago
That is wrong. CUPS recommends using the IPP protocol , but the IPP driver (called “IPP Everywhere”) is only available on relatively modern printers. Everything else still has to use drivers, mostly PPD.

On Linux, Brother also has a generic driver (brgen1mlr, or something like that). You’ll need to install both the driver and cupswrapper though. If you install the specific driver it generally should have parity with their Windows / mac

Startups went from “let’s become the next Google” to “let’s get acquired by Google”. FAANG+ have become way too big and have effectively become a multi-opoly (oxymoron and a half) that has ossified the entire market.

If your ordinary car breaks down in the middle of a busy road, then yeah the police or fire department will indeed help you push it out of the way (if bystanders aren’t already). You wouldn’t say that’s the responsibility of Toyota.

That’s just wrong. Revolut, N26 and Bunq all have banking licenses, which means funds are insured to €100 000, €200 000 if it’s a shared account. It’s not that they “steal” your money, but unlike your local bank, their customer service is m

Yup. This also why people should only use fintech banks (Revolut, N26, Bunq, etc) as a checking account and should keep the bulk of their money elsewhere. Because of the relatively low-friction signup process, fintech banks are extremely tr
