Eco Tank is a good choice if you print with regularity or need a photo printer, but not if you print maybe once or twice a year. It’s still an inkjet, and the head will still clog if sat unused for a couple months, requiring a lengthy head cleaning cycle and possible replacement of the maintenance box. If you almost never print, but need your printer to just work without fuss that one random day you need to print, it’s gotta be a laser printer.

What sneaky?

It’s correct. A product with various options will have each combination of options under a different SKU. It’s a singular number that identifies an exact version of a product.

It’s small enough that I can post a comment on something, and my girlfriend will independently run across my comment. Though she doesn’t read the usernames, so she doesn’t know it was me. Then I’ll mention it and she’ll say “oh yeah, I saw that comment.”

The recommendation to not daisy-chain UPSs together is less about what makes for a cleaner setup and more about not damaging them.

The car itself should never come with something that will require recurring payments.

Cars already do. Satellite radio has been a thing for decades now. I’ve never used it. Never felt the desire to use it. I haven’t even taken the free trial. I’m less annoyed that it exists, and more annoyed that I’m forever fated to receive unsolicited junk mail for this feature that I have to unceremoniously dump in the recycling bin every couple weeks.

As for the remote start, yeah, it’s kinda bullshit that they’ve removed the more permanent, older version of a feature to replace it with something out of the owners’ control. If anything, it should exist in parallel with the key fob button, not replace it entirely. I’m less concerned about the fact that it’s a subscription than I am about the prospect of that feature dropping support down the road with no recourse for the owner.

A proton is a positively charged subatomic particle doing in the nucleus of an atom. But in this context, Proton is a translation layer that allows games that were built for Windows to run on Linux.

I just meant you’d have access to them. Didn’t mean to imply they were all good. I mean, I owned Shadows of the Empire on N64.
