I'm surprised that memo leaked. Automattic is very open with employees and trusts them not to share internal information. While I worked there (2013-2018) I don't remember any news leaking.

We've had the Brother HL-L2340D for a few years. It's been rock solid. It's so much better than the HP inkjet printers we had in the past.
