       @ariadne I feel ya, I picked up a used brother MFC from a thrift store last year and I swear they are gonna bury me with it. But I am also reminded of this REALLY funny thing that happened to canon during the chip shortages: https://boingboing.net/2022/01/08/forced-by-shortages-to-sell-chipless-cartridges-canon-tells-customers-how-to-bypass-drm-warnings.html

       @ariadne I did that to flash the firmware of my BD burner a while back... Like over 10 years ago, I don't think fwupd even existed back then!I still use that same computer now, I'm due for an upgrade I think...

       @ariadne My ancient HP M451dn continues to work on Windows and Linux. No DRM, inexperienced consumables which seem to last a reasonable time. Older is sometimes better 😉🖖
