    The PSU is the only thing you can change easily. I love that everything is USB-C and that I can plug in everything, everywhere.

    But I’m kind of happy everyone uses handhelds, I got really tired fixing everything for my entire family and friends.

    “My printer seems to be defectiv…”

    Entschuldige, ich kann kein Englisch. Muss weg, keine Zeit. Bye!

      I work in Tech and this is my mantra: printers are Of the Devil.

      • My buddy worked tech support for a fairly large facility. They got tired of getting calls for a busted printer, only to walk all the way across the facility to discover it was out of paper. It got to the point that if someone called about a printer, they would wait an hour before responding. If nobody else called within that hour, they assumed the issue was resolved on its own.

        In healthcare IT there’s often a person who specializes in just printers. My friend makes a lot of money doing that.

      It’s like all the old geezers who cum into carbeurators but like, shouldn’t they be happy that fuel-injection is a million times better and more reliable? I work on my own car and I can handle that shit in my driveway easy but these people seem to want more work to do. Yes, Fred, carbs make more sense for dirtbikes but oh my god otherwise shut up.

      As for printers yea what the fuck. They all work differently even within the same company when all they need to do is take the exact same control module, maybe two versions of it, and slap it onto different bodies. But, instead, it’s just a giant fucking mess.

      The PSU might be easy in practice but all those cords are daunting to the novice. Much easier to swap the RAM or even to take out and put in a new GPU.

      I love that everything is USB-C

      Well, maybe things are easier now. My 12 year old PC build has a modular PSU with a bunch of different cords.
