The appliance that elicits anger and frustrated at it’s mere sight. The treacherous device that never worked right.

    I really cannot believe we fucked printers in so many unique ways.

    • No universal drivers and software support, requiring entire settings pages to be about printers
    • DRM everywhere, rendering third party cartridges useless
    • Routinely bad security, making Wi-Fi enabled printers one of the common attack vectors

    Etc. etc.

      My favourite bad security thing about them is that it’s possible to hack them with a fake fax.
