Gregory's ServerLike its also not an inkjet printer is a laser printer and most of the parts that are likely to wear out quickly are built into the massive toner cartridges by design specifically to avoid the kind of problems you get with an inkjet printer.

  @wigglytuffitout @lapis Not all parts prone to failures are "planned obsolescence" delicate mechanisms prone to wear are sometimes necessary. I'd rather have user replaceable parts than a black box I need to buy a whole new one when any one component fails on me. @Rasp @lapis Yes dear, as I mentioned, sewing machines are following much the same trend and this is correlated strongly to additional features. It's why I wrote about how your jammy luck may be connected strongly to the relatively low technical demands the printers had to meet. If you want to actually read any of what I wrote instead of just deciding that you are the main character and everyone else needs to be proven wrong. Or wank off into the sunset. Your choice. @wigglytuffitout @lapis oh I know and it sucks. but thats why if I was going into the market for one that's one thing I'd look for. ...I'm not trying to do any of that? I'm not even disagreeing with the joke I'm just talking about some different experiences I've also had that were less negative? I never refuted the problem or the joke? I'm not sure where you got that. All I've done is talk about my laser printer that I really like and some better experiences of the old days before things went to hell. (okay they still sucked but not quite this bad) I'm not sure where you're getting the rest of this stuff from? It happened to me plenty back when I worked in IT and I never denied it happening to anyone else? I never said the joke was wrong the joke is dead on. I thought it was funny why I boosted it in the first place? |
@Rasp @lapis are you wanting to have a conversation, or are you wanting to just hear how you are clearly so correct everyone else's experience and knowledge mean nothing?
Alternatively, if you are replacing all parts affected by wear and tear (and planned obsolescence), I can tell you why your printers are working so well: that's not a new toner cartridge, it's a whole printer. So every single gear within gets replaced. Because yes, I am aware of how printers work. Toner does not absolve the need for things like feeding paper through.
