It always feels like some form of VR tech comes out with some sort of fanfare and with a promise it will take over the world, but it never does.

    I think there is an open source printer being created. Potentially has the chance at being the only printer that isn’t a pile of shit.

      I’ve seen that project. Complete radio silence since the announcement and zero path to releasing anything.

      It really sucks.

        Keyword in that is ‘old’ - new printers are shit, and Brother printers have been pretty bad in my experience as well. Most any new printers I’ve touched is just terrible.

        But then again, I stan my old HP color LJ that I got for free from the early 2010s that I got when my employer went to a printer contract service and just dumped all the printers they currently had. That fucker runs like a champ and has let me put in after market toner carts without much complaint and 0 printing issues. Modern HP printers only belong on fire.
