Prime Day May 24th -- oops you missed it.

NotAPenguin, in Raising your price for prime day

This kind of thing is straight up illegal in Denmark

I dread the day the new manifest gets there and there are sites and apps I use that do depend on Chromium:(

Is there a assurance somewhere that forks like Edge or Vivaldi don’t apply said manifest that enforces uBO Lite?

subtext,

I rather doubt that Edge would be inclined to not apply the manifest. Plus it would dramatically increase their burden if they need to maintain a separate fork that excludes it. Best to move to Firefox!

Does camel camel camel do the same thing or is this different? I’ve never heard of keeps but am certainly interested.

Not_Reddit,

From my understanding they provide the same price history service.

ed2417, in Raising your price for prime day

Yeah I bought a gamepad last week which I noticed is on sale at 37% off for the same price.

Norgur, in Raising your price for prime day

Here in Germany, we once had a hardware store called "Praktiker" which advertised their regular 20%-Off-sales with the slogan "20% on everything except pet food" (the joke was that they didn't sell pet food).

We once needed a very specific type of screw for an old Fender Amp and went to Praktiker when they didn't have their sale on, so we decided to come back when they resumed the sale again, which they did regularly. When we came back to the store, the screw would have been more expensive than before even with the "20% off" (which was a fucking lie). This opened my eyes to all black-friday-prime-day-whatever-day-sales from then on.

ventusx, in As you'd expect, /r/AssholeDesign did get one of those threats from the Reddit admins.

Lmao Fuck u/ModCodeOfConduct, Spez’s alt

He doesn’t need an alt. He’s the CEO, he can force his employees to do despicable things without involving him directly.

ObM, in Raising your price for prime day

One of our jokes for pretty much every sale we see is: “20% off of 50% more”.

HP Smart is complete ass lmao. I have an HP laser printer that prints well, but it’s always a headache to start printing anything wirelessly from my laptop. Can only ever rely on the ol’ USB cable.

heimchen,

I am really confused, becuase HP Smart Scanner takes like 2-3 min to Scan a page, GNOMs build in Scanner takes 3-5 seconds with the same printer. Like how is your software this bad.

mexicancartel,

“Smart” = dumb

Dohnakun,

If only our old HP (which’s server died years ago) wouldn’t rename itself randomly on USB.

But seriously, get a Raspi or similiar and create a printserver. Saver too, than HP’s built in.

Raxiel,

HP Smart does suck, although the cheap HP printer/scanner we picked up in 2020 for home schooling has been pretty reliable. A couple of the colour nozzles clogged after an extend period without use, but it’s on the £1 a month cartridge rental so I just kept re-running the cleaning cycle until it worked again.

Glad to see someone freed up the printer, but gosh I wish we could have open source printer firmware, like DD-WRT for routers.

tallwookie,
@tallwookie@lemmy.world avatar

it’d require that all OEM’s agree to specific standards and they won’t because being closed source = $$$.

likewise why no one is reverse engineering printers, there’s no $$$ in it

betterdeadthanreddit,

The demonic summoning ritual involved in bringing a printer to life is awfully hard to replicate using non-proprietary methods.

Buddahriffic,

I wonder how feasible an open source printer would be, like the open source 3d printers.

sweBers,

Possible, but the tolerances would be a lot for people. Also, one would need a solid stream of supplies.

Buddahriffic,

Which is kinda funny if it’s easier to make a printer that can print objects vs a printer that can print on surfaces. Like it’s harder to draw a picture of an object than it is to create an instance of that object.

sweBers,

The idea is pretty ironic. If one was patient enough, they could design a CAD machine that would write out their prints. I believe I had seen them before. The problems with that machine are speed and efficiency.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

3D print a plate with your document on it. Dip the plate in ink and press it to a sheet of paper.

Buddahriffic,

The latest update to the printing press: adding a 3d printer to print new plates, and a recycler to reuse that plastic once you’ve printed your page.

Uses 10x the energy, recycled plastic gets junked because of ink contamination, but still 25% cheaper than running an hp inkjet because you can use bulk ink and don’t have to keep replacing your dried up CMY inks to stop it from refusing to print your black and white document.

Factory reset?

lorcster123,

I know right? Does this not work?

clutchmatic,

It’s an HP product… so all bets are off

Drystan_Furor, in A light of wholesomeness shining in a bleak dystopian hellscape

And a good day to you sir
