I got an Epson printer to replace the HP that stopped doing email/app service because HP seemed it too old. The Epson just takes ink from a bottle which is really cheap to refil. The Epson has a tiny screen (which makes sense when you realize Epson is just a sub brand of Seiko). I fully expect the app to stop working some day.

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.

The problem with every laser printer is, eventually, they'll stop making toner cartridges for them. That's what made my perfectly serviceable Samsung printer garbage.
I was looking today at buying a cheap Brother laser printer, for the rare times when I want to print something. But, I saw that it was introduced in 2019, and I can just imagine what will happen. I still might get it and just stock up on cartridges, I haven't decided.

That covers everything even the checkout at Walmart.
There's little I buy regularly that would have intrusive tech put in it. I hope they don't start making SmartBread. Go to make a sandwich but I have to wait for a security update so my sourdough can't be hacked (except it opens up 3 more security holes that weren't present before the update and now a Russian hacker is using my bread to make a jellied meat sandwich remotely).
