this is the most devastating review of anything i've ever seen

Imagine if your printer was also your car. That's what owning a Tesla is like.

All corporations. All corporations will not be happy until ownership is a concept of the past. You are borrowing the company's resources and paying them for the service.
If you don't like it, stop heralding capitalism as the be-all of economic systems...
This is Lemmy, you don’t have to convince people not to like capitalism here, we’re already on board
We already have a noose set up for the first instance that gets greedy.
It's ironic, isn't it. With the most common "criticism" of communism being that nobody will be able to have any personal belongings..
As far as i know, communists want to share means of production (usually land and machines, anything you need to work other than your brain). That means you may have your own printer and car, as long as you pay for it with a well distributed salary.

plot twist: It's a Brother monochrome laser printer.
The equivalent of an old brother mono laser would be a Lada or a Toyota hilux. It may not be pretty, but it's simple and it will run forever.
We got rid of the old hl2030 in favor of a fancy color printer/scanner. Now we have neither.

Your words cut deep.
Agreed entirely. I'm a big evangelist for Brother's business class black and white laser printers. I bought my hl2050 twenty years ago and I've only had to replace the toner once. It just works.
I bought a brother printer / copier / scanner about 15 years ago. Still going strong, I replaced the ink once.
I bought it for $99.99
I still consider it the best money I've ever spent
Edit: $99 Canadian!
To be fair, the amount of false positive safety alerts and phantom breaking events dropped considerably last 6m.
But I can't reconcile the fact they turned off the bumper sensors making autopilot jerkier, and forcing it to keep a much wider distance from other cars.
I won’t buy a car without ultra sonic sensors. They stop you bashing into things that you, or the cameras, can’t see.
I know of multiple people who've backed into poles that went right down the middle between two of them while they were too busy watching the screen.
A very useful and welcome addition, but not something to be wholly relied on as a replacement for paying attention.
Honestly, if it went between the poles and wasn't visible on the camera, I could easily believe that it wouldn't have been seen looking over your shoulder.
Still gotta check by eye, but I've personally never seen one of those cameras and sensors that didn't have strictly better coverage than my eyes.
Admittedly a scathing burn, but in my experience not at all the same. I have had so many printers with connection issues, overpriced ink that dries up, and constant mechanical jams that I’ve sworn off ever owning a printer again and made my department paperless. But all I had to do for my Tesla is connect it to wifi, and every few weeks a no-hassle software update delivers some useful new features. I’ve never met a printer that improved with time.
This can describe a majority of consumer appliances these days.
Not saying Tesla build quality isn't shit, but it's not exactly a very specific insult.
So, Wi-Fi problems?
