I migrated to Pi-hole in 2016 so believe me when I say that uBlock Origin is perfectly complimentary because it removes the blank space that is made for ads.

My only complaint about BCU is that its portable edition isn’t a single standalone EXE. Makes it a nuisance compared to HiBit Uninstaller.

Windows users complaining that a Linux (or at a stretch, even Mac) app doesn’t have a Windows version.

The amount of USB type ports I’ve seen where the ‘tongue’ has been absolutely mangled is mind boggling — an issue that Lightning completely bypassed.

For example, I’m repairing some kids PS5 and both back USB ports have had their pins twisted and the plastic snapped off. The HDMI port pins are lifting from the mainboard and the front of the unit is scratched to high hell. I see some of the worst treated tech at my job, and those plastic bits get damaged a lot. While Apple needed to move to USB-C six years ago with the iPhone X, I will respect Lightning for this one thing.

Anyone else getting Jonas Quinn vibes from Stargate?

Turns out the answer to 30 to 50 feral hogs was to make love, not war.

From a repair standpoint, Brother are definitely the best option (that I know of). I do authorised repair work for them, and their support guides, technical support team and range of spare parts is absolutely amazing. The biggest problem I see is aftermarket toner wrinkling up the fuser of laser models, but that’s not like it’s something Brother’s introduced to be anti-competitive slime bags.

I’ve got a second-hand HL-5370DW (from 2009~) that’s been through the wringer of a medical practice - I still use it to print without any issue, despite the Web UI insisting that all the non-toner consumables need to be replaced immediately.

ASUS still ironing out the wrinkles 20 years later…

Colonel, I’m dummy-thicc but the crack of my kneecaps keeps alerting the guards!
