  • For real, an HP nowadays is even worse at that. They have a setting now called true black that instead of just using the Black Ink that comes with a printer it uses the black ink and a little bit of every color to make it so it’s a darker shade. The result is a darker tone however it blows through your ink even faster because it’s also using your color at the same time.


  • Everyone keeps raving about ink tank but I feel I need to specify, don’t buy this style if you don’t print at least once every few weeks, the lines will clog and it’s a royal pain in the ass trying to remove a clog on these styles!

    They look amazing if you do a lot of artists stuff and you use it frequently but if you’re the college student or someone that may have to print out a report every other month or something like that, you are far better off going with a laser Printer. Less headache for similar pricing

    note: this isn’t a diss on the person I’m replying to, I acknowledge that tank printers are amazing at what they’re good at, I’ve just had so many people bring me their ink tanks because they’re clogged because they only use them maybe once every other month stating that the reason they went with the printer in the first place because it was supposed to not have the penalties that standard inkjets had, so I feel the need to clarify



  • This didn’t used to be the case, starter cartridges used to be the same size if not a little bigger than standard cartridges because the expectation was they wanted you to buy the printer be impressed with how efficient it was and buy more ink.

    The problem with that was, printers were too reliable, people weren’t buying new printers anymore they were only buying the ink so what they did in return was lowered the price of the printers to try to incentivize buying a new printer.

    But then people realized well the ink is so expensive that I can just buy a whole new printer which would be the upgraded form and not have to worry about buying ink, which meant no one was buying their ink anymore

    So as such they made it so starter cartridges have Jack crap for ink to try to disincentivize the same thing that they incentivized in the first place.

    Then of course like every good thing in the world, some executive realize that they could just lower the reliability of the printer and make it a piece of junk, which will accomplish the same effects. But by that time the consumers were used to having nothing for ink and printers anyway so why would they go out of their way to add more ink in the starter cartridges when people were buying it with little to no ink in the starter cartridges, which is how we got to where we are today. Thankfully the laser printer company is while our starting to go in that direction haven’t quite become as bad.

    TLDR? ; inkjet companies are greedy cash hogs, and was willing to lose a little bit of face in order to make some money. Buy a laser printer, the base cost is quite a bit more, but the toner cartridges last forever and they are significantly more reliable



  • it still wouldn’t pass the requirements, the patent is bullshit. It’s any object tossed at a creature. Could be ninja stars or an old boot and it would violate the patent.

    They also own the patent of riding a claimed char (in both the air and ground if I understand it right) so they are technically still in violation of Nintendo’s patents. It’s so dumb

    Furthermore, they also own the patent of aiming a device and catching in a percentage chance.

    this is what i meant yea, just delay shipping to store outside the initial batch until all preorders are completed. Or in a perfect world not at all until preorders have been made.

    Just have everyone join the queue and call it a day, or better yet, make release day a Nintendo only thing, and then after pre-orders are handled, then start giving to the stores.

    This is so dumb.

    “We had way more preorders than expected, in order to fulfill our preorders, we will be delaying in store sales until after preorders have been completed”

    that would be such a simple solution. It’s not like they are out any money either way, and pushing an instore sale date back to make other prior commitments work isn’t a horrible thing, it just means that people who didn’t bother to preorder won’t get it day 1, but most who wanted it day 1 would have pre-ordered it anyway.


  • In my eyes your native language is the language that you learned from birth because it’s the one that you started. It doesn’t have to be the one that you’re the most proficient but, it usually is. The definition is

    the language or dialect first learned by an individual or first used by the Parent/Guardian with a child

    Your primary language is the language you use the most which in your case sounds like it’s English



  • 3 days in my opinion is too long imo for a default, if the entire point of it is to increase the security, the default gives 3 days worth of time for an entity to obtain a way to access it via some form of exploit or other means. That’s far long enough for most shipping options to send the device elsewhere that may have the appropriate tech to do so.

    A 24h limit would significantly decrease the margin for exploitation. I agree the setting should have multiple time intervals though, I just think 3 days is way too long for the purpose of the setting. It seems like a “we wanna do something that sounds good, but won’t rock the boat for the powers that be”
